Diamond Vault Rustic Mountain Cabins
Diamond Vault is the rustic option, honestly stated: self-contained mountain cabins with kitchenettes, balconies and big views on the upper slopes — and the most mixed review scores in the village’s reviewed set, 7.0 from 65 Booking.com reviews at the October 2026 check. The staff score (8.3) and the host’s own record run well above the overall, which usually means a property in transition rather than a bad stay — read the recent reviews and decide.
The cabins

- Double Room with Mountain View — a double bed plus two sofa beds, sleeping up to four.
- Double Room with Balcony — a double bed plus a sofa bed, sleeping up to three.
Location

Who it suits
Travellers who want rustic, quiet and mountain views at the friendly end of the price range, and who read reviews rather than following them. Compare the wider accommodation range if the scores worry you.
