Could it be any more Out of the Way

This is a danish farm converted into a retreat hotel. 3 km from the Baltic Sea, secluded in the woods, excellent food and beautiful country.

We took the bus to get there, and the bus station where we got off, was in the the middle of nowhere. We thought we landed in the set of Northern Exposure. From there we had to walk a km into the woods.
