户外度假村(The Outdoor Retreat)

The location was amazing, even though the road to the house is up the hill, on top of a mountain and very narrow. 2 cars cannot pass each other when the road is at 4000 ft elevation. The listing was wrong. Since travelling with family and kids, I wanted the whole house and that's how I reserved it. 3-days before my check-in, I was informed that the house is shared and I will have to share even the bathroom with other people. This was not what I paid for. So basically I paid for the whole house, but I ended up getting a single room and shared kitchen/bathroom. House was clean, undoubtedly. It has a country setup So outside wasn't clean much. Parking was an issue for me. The actual parking where I was told to park, was very narrow for my vehicle (mid-sized SUV) and there were no barriers around it (since it was in the high mountain). I was scared to park there at dark, thinking that if I miss the spot, I will fall straight 5000 ft down. So I decided to park in front of the garage (which I was told not to park).

The photos are accurate and we stayed in the room on the top floor, facing the lake with an amazing view and a spacious terrace. Fair warning to those who are sensitive to noises...there is a pond right below so you can hear the flowing water all night long and might be woken by ducks. The large room was ready with sufficient mattresses but not the right amount of pillows nor duvets. The property owner is helpful, contactable and responsive.

The hosts were angels. I staid here right after my grandpa's passing and I felt at home in a strange land.

Cannot recommend this accommodation, even though it was refurbished: payment only over Paypal or deposited cash, no credit-card on site, no debit-card, no Twint, not even a bank transfer (landlord not present) Our room: window facing cow stable (smelly, noisy), packed with matrasses bot no memory-foam as stated in the description, very little space on desk, had to replace the bedsheets for the next persons. Shared kitchen: no towels, only four chairs, terrible smell in the fridge (leading us to avoid using it), nice appliances, not very clean. dozens of instructions everywhere – we felt dumb and not very welcome. not worth 160.- for one night

Amazing but basic place to stay with jaw dropping views! Fantastic value.
