Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Thank you very much for hosting us -- we really enjoyed our stay! The place is gorgeous -- it feels just like a holiday home. The view of the lake is fantastic. It's very clean and warm -- I see some reviews say the house is too cold; the tip is to use the heatpump as instructed because in really cold environment turning the heatpumps higher may cause the heater to not perform well.
