- The view was very nice and overall very quaint, quiet, and peaceful. Would be glad to stay here again
- The only good thing about this place is the view.
- Everything - location beyond amazing, staff so wonderful and food - cuisine was out of the world - all freshly cooked with local ingredients…. Room was spacious, gorgeous view of lake and mountains and the terrace you won’t get anywhere!
Cons -
- Nothing at all, was a perfect stay
- The rooms were decent, but absolutely not worth the price. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room. There aren't a lot of facilities. For the price, I won't recommend it to anyone.
- Can’t say one thing that was not good!

The view from the terraces/balconies is awesome, with the lake and mountains. Breakfast was okay. The room was nice, spacious... Also the bathroom.
Even though it's overall okay, feels a bit pricey. Also bit scary to arrive late at night with all the curves. It's very high up the hill... I think it's only possible by car.
Beautiful view from the balcony and restaurant's terrace. Attentive staff. Generous breakfast with many options
Location is amazing. staff are very helpful with planning hikes etc. Room very comfortable.
- Breathtaking view of the lake and the mountain- Friendly staffs- Comfort of the bed- Comfortable sofa on the balcony- Breakfast was simple and delicious- Liquid hand soap in the bathroom (this might be nothing but it surely is useful when you have to wash hands with a bar soap)
- No window screens, so we couldn't open the windows all the way at night to cool down our room- There was no hand-held shower head, so it was difficult to clean our bodies just from the overhead rain shower head- Caution: this comment is to help people what to expect driving up to this hotel. Since the hotel offers an amazing view on top of the hill, the drive to the hotel is narrow (one car at a time). In addition, there's not much of protective railing by the edge. It was a bit scary for us to drive around with our larger SUV. However, I thought it was fun going up since I wasn't driving. :)
Picturesque stay in quiet, authentic lakeside village. Gorgeous views from above, worth the trip uphill. Staff was friendly and helped transport us from the ferry when there were no taxis around. Enjoyed the breakfast as well.
Lakeside rooms had awesome views Restaurant also had great views and food. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Truly nothing
It was ontop of a massive mountain and only one car can go by at a time it's truly very dangerous to go up and down this mountain I told owner we were very nervous to travel up the mountain I asked for money back plus took me like half hour to get someone to talk to and she flat out said no no money back unless next day she could rent the room but I just dealt with it and only wwnt up and down the hill once and returned once truly I was scared fir my life coming up and down so for me if I was you it'd a no go at all pretty views but crazy dangerous
Lovely view with balcony. Free and easy parking. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Comfortable bed. Pet friendly and there are trails readily accessible to walk your dog. Decent breakfast and friendly staff. Amazing restaurant downstairs.
It’s on a steep hill. It’ll be a long walk down to town. It’s accessible by car but the road is tight. Still a wonderful location for the view though!
Like: location excellent! Love it!! Would love to return. The room with balcony small but balcony large excellent. Views breath taken!! Martha the host very helpful. Answer all my questions. Breakfast, very good.Dislike: Breakfast, very good but in busiest times runned out of eggs, they missed topping up.The bed/mattress too soft and pillows very uncomfortable. ( room with large balcony) number 11I also stayed in the room 15 ( large room without balcony) mattress was firmer and pillows were better.
It is in a mountain valley, so people without a car cannot go there. And I asked before checking in, but they did not understand what I said at all. However, the view and breakfast were good. I think there were more people coming to eat.
Great location. Very quite during the night. Fantastic view on the lake.Good restaurant with good food, run by a motivated young couple.
The 100% polyester towels in the bathroom are terrible.Please replace by decent cotton based towels.
Excellent host, went out of her way for us. Its a beautiful location. Would recommend for a relaxing break.
Unfortunately the restaurant was shut on the day of our stay, but other than that everything was great.

Beautiful views and so great to have a balcony. Comfortable room, great to have a kettle and a fridge. The bed was comfortable, the shower was powerful and the cubicle big. Good to have 2 chairs in the room. Easy check in and check out. Breakfast was lovely. Great to have a free, private car park.
No breakfast tea or decaf options for hot drinks. The bedding did smell a bit stale. I think the guttering may need attention as the rain was constantly hammering on the decking.
The staff was really helpful and kind. They allowed us (family with a dog) to sit outside and enjoy breakfast even though the terrace wasn’t prepared due to non seasonal weather. We love when accommodation staff can be flexible based on personal needs.
We think it was a bit too expensive for a small room where we slept 3 people and a large dog.
We liked everything about it. It was local and they prepared local favorites. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Amazing view, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
