Idyllisk anneks med utsikt

Her kan du senke pulsen og bare være. Våkn opp om morgenen og nyt panoramautsikten over Åneslandsvannet mens du enda ligger i sengen. Ta et morgenbad rett nedenfor annekset, og lytt til fuglesangen. Kanskje kan det friste med en kanotur? Eller ta med deg fiskestang og prøve fiskelykken? Toalett og dusj er i uthuset som ligger ca 80 meter unna annekset. Mulighet for grilling på bålpanne, men ingen kjøkkenfasiliteter.
