Guests have full access to the private plot where the tiny house is located, along with its immediate surroundings and the pool area. The hosts' private pool is available to guests for free and can be booked in time slots for privacy. While not heated, it’s pleasantly warm in summer. Due to the mountain location and stairs, it's not suitable for babies or strollers.
Guests are asked to check if the setting meets their personal or cultural needs, as we cannot guarantee specific accommodations.
We kindly ask to refrain from entering the land host's private property without prior notice or explicit permission. This is out of respect for privacy and to ensure everyone’s safety.
Please be aware that the owner’s dogs may be present and could be roaming freely on their private grounds.
