Wir haben sehr entspannte Tage mit unserenm Hund in Erwins Ferienhäuschen verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und gut ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Überall findet man kleine Details, die den Unterschied ausmachen. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig. Genau das haben wir gesucht..Man hat einen herrlichen Ausblick in die Natur, sowohl vom Panoramafenster als auch von der Terrasse aus. Die Kommunikation war reibungslos - sehr nette Vermieter. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.
