  • The entire Facility was very clean, and not only the bedrooms but also the toilets, shower rooms, and even the large public bath were kept spotless, so we had a very comfortable stay. The meals were also delicious, and the experience itself—starting a fire ourselves and grilling and cooking—was truly fun and became a memorable time for our family.Above all, we were most impressed by the hospitality of the staff. We have stayed at many Hotels and Accommodations, but the team here was without a doubt among the very best.We visited with two small children and were worried about whether we could manage starting a fire and doing BBQ properly, but the staff kindly and carefully taught us what to do and naturally supported us at just the right moments. We really appreciated how they watched over us with perfect distance—never intrusive.It wasn’t luxurious like a high-end Hotel; instead, it offered warm human connection and time for our family to work together, giving us an incredible sense of happiness unlike anything we’ve experienced before.There aren’t many Accommodations that make you think “I want to come back,” but this is a place we genuinely feel like visiting even every month. It was an outstanding experience that left our whole family completely satisfied. We would love to stay again.

  • This was our 6th visit! Every time we come, there’s something new to discover, making it an enjoyable experience. When we ask the kids where they want to go, their answer is always “Glamping!”—they absolutely love it here. This time, there were goats, and the kids immediately said, “We’re going to see the goats!” They spent a lot of time with them and even followed them during walks. The staff kindly shared information about the goats without hesitation and made it a memorable experience for us. The staff maintain just the right balance of attentiveness and distance, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. Thank you as always! We’ll definitely be back again soon!
