Enjoy the unique rustic cabin with outstanding views of the lake and mountains.Relax in a large saucer shaped bath,while absorbing the views and tranquil surroundings.Alternatively,have a refreshing shower in the purpose built spacious black tiled shower.Stoke the fire up to give the double glazed cabin a warm glow to it, or sprawl out on the very spacious deck to relax and when you get a bit peckish, throw something on the BBQ for dinner or just grab something out of the fridge and cook over the gas hobs. Just relax and enjoy everything the cabin has to offer,including the super king bed with luxurious sheets and goose down duvets to ensure a great night’s sleep.The super king can become 2 large single beds if you require your own unique sleeping arrangements
