4. Newly built apartment with fantastic views (from USD 299)
You may be tempted to no longer leave the apartment thanks to its great location, which affords guests with mountain and lake views, depending on what part of the house they are in.

The wood floors and the granite countertops only enhance the beauty of the place. This apartment sleeps four.
