We stayed at the Stiena cottage for 3 nights. What a wonderfully peaceful place, and so nice to be right in the woods. In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee out in front of the cottage. You can also go for lovely walks right in the woods and bike along beautiful trails. The cottage has everything you need. The air conditioning and heating work quickly and efficiently. There’s also a washing machine so you can head home with clean clothes.

Wij verbleven 3 nachten in het Stiena huisje. Wat een heerlijke rustige plek en fijn zo in het bos. In de ochtend dronken wij heerlijk een kopje koffie voor het huisje. Verder kan je lekker wandelen direct in het bos en mooie routes fietsen. Het huisje heeft alles wat je nodig heeft. Een airco/verwarming die snel en goed werkt. Ook een wasmachine zodat je met schone kleren naar huis gaat.
