Culinary Experience: Vegetarian dishes and guest kitchen

Wellness: Herbal sauna and yoga platform

“The restful sleep and decent food are plusses, though the sauna experience seems a highlight. Note that it's a bit removed from the lake, and the composting toilet might raise an eyebrow. Expect quirks, such as improvised lighting, balanced by helpful front desk service.”
