This family-run, riverside place has a series of wooden cottages in a well-kept area with a lake beach. The standard cottages are great for families; bigger ones are suitable for large groups. Some have an open fireplace. Linen costs €7 per person. Rowboats, bikes and sleds are free to use. In winter it arranges snowmobile safaris and ice fishing.

From early March to April, cottages can only be rented by the week.
