    Super cabane, pour les personnes qui veulent être dans la nature et s'endormir avec le champ des oiseaux. Hôte très sympa.

    La sympathie des logeurs, absolument disponible et attentionné, tout est clair et simple, on ne peut rêver mieux. Deuxième point d'exception, le calme solitaire du lieu d'hébergement, une vue incroyable, un concerto d'oiseaux tout autour. Sublime.
