Dejlig beliggenhed midt i skoven med udsigt til søen. Vi overnattede kun en enkelt nat, men kunne sagtens være blevet længere i vores lille, røde hytte.

Alt var helt perfekt. Rigtig god service.
De ringede for at aftale inden vi ankom til vandrehjemmet.
Værelset var rigtigt fint og morgenmaden var også super god.
Men udsigten er fænomenal. Vi vågnede op lige ned til Skanderborg sø og kunne nyde solopgangen fra vores værelse.

Dejlig overnatning i hytte. Den var ikke prangende, sofaen trænger til udskiftning osv, men vi forventede heller ikke hotelstandard - og der var det, som vi havde brug for.
Sød og venlig betjening, rent og pænt - og fantastiske omgivelser/beliggenhed.
Vi kommer gerne igen.

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.
