My stay was quite the rollercoaster ride. The location was stunning, surrounded by breathtaking nature and the allure of wild bisons. The wooden cottages had a beautiful aesthetic, but there were quite a few downsides. While the owner, Feroz, was incredibly friendly and eager to help, my experience with the service at times felt chaotic, especially when faced with dining issues. Overall, it had charm, but I faced challenges I didn't expect during my stay.
