Lovely house by the river, great for romance or family holiday.
The area has distinct seasons, summer is hot, winter has snow.
Nearest ski resort is 20minutes away, it has numerous chairlifts, and a cabin car. In the summer you can stick your mountain bike on the chairlift and there are tracks and jumps coming down the mountain.
Across the road from the house is an open air folk museum, with an original gothic church. Further afield are Aqua parks with saunas and Spas and water slides for children.
There is a cable car journey to the peak of Lomnicky Stit (2600m) and a stunning lake in Strbske Pleso, which you can toboggon across in the Winter.
Best skiing is probably in Jasna.
