Guest Book: The Kaiser & Schroeder family wrote in May of 1999: For years we've been looking for a vacation residence that lives up our ideals. Then in May 1999 we found 'Lakeview Country House.' A house? No, an attitude to life, an atmosphere in which one feels at ease from the first moment on, in which one can soothe the soul, in which one is relaxed and happy, and where absolutely nothing is missing. Browsing through the guest book, it becomes apparent that many guests have also felt this way. The comments, mostly masterly poems and drawings, bear witness to this. We offer heartfelt thanks to our hosts for having created such a beautiful house with such care and such taste.

Other Activities: coach rides, archery, miniature golf, ice skating, tobogganing
