We spent a week in December in this beautiful holiday home in Quilitz. It feels like a vacation with friends, only that they are not at home, or rather, you don't even know them. The cozy furnishings, books, maps, games, and the trust that the hosts place in their guests—all of this makes you feel right at home. And when the tiled stove is heated, there is nothing more beautiful than sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee and enjoying the view while the fire crackles. In winter, however, one should be prepared to come into a cold house that needs to be warmed up first. Wood is sufficiently available for that. The first night was quite cool, but since we were "forewarned," we had enough hot water bottles with us. The hosts also had a heating blanket on offer in case the hot water bottles were not enough.
In the morning, you can see the dawn on the left side of the horizon and in the evening, the sunset directly opposite. At night, you can admire the starry sky from the bed and hardly get any sleep because you don't want to close your eyes. A shooting star might still fall.
The area around Quilitz is very quiet and great for smaller and larger hiking tours. We will definitely come back to explore the surrounding area as well.
Thank you for everything and hopefully see you next December!
