Long weekends
A long weekend in a cabin with a hot tub, away from the crowds
When everyone drives to the coast and the mountains, the best places are the ones nobody drives to.
Common questions about long weekends
Do long weekends cost more?
Long weekends are sometimes priced higher than ordinary dates. You always see the price straight away for the dates you pick, before booking, with no hidden costs.
Will it be as crowded here as everywhere else?
There is no way it can be. Two cabins on four hectares, and your neighbour is 250 metres away behind a wooden fence. It is the exact opposite of a long-weekend resort.
What if the weather is bad?
The hot tub and sauna work in any weather, and rain while you sit in hot water is a feature, not a problem. Indoors there are board games, and Netflix on the big screen under the shelter.

Practical questions
When should we book a long weekend?
In winter. Two cabins and a long weekend is the shortest availability window of the year.
What is the minimum stay on a long weekend?
Two nights minimum, the same as any weekend.
Is the June long weekend similar?
Yes, the rules are the same, and June adds warm evenings and swimming in the lake.
