Dejlig beliggenhed ved sø og skov. Pæne gode værelser. Eneste problem var at man kan når naboer på andre værelser bruger vand pga. larmende vandrør. Men ellers rigtig godt med sødt personale.

Hyggelige hytter
Hyggelig hytte med alt hvad mand har behov for. Ligger utrolig smuk ved Skanderborg Sø. Rigtig god stemning for en afslappet tur i skoven.
