A secluded walkway, up our private path from our own parking space. We were treated to a fantastic night sky when we returned to our ÖÖD - there is so little light pollution that we could see millions of stars in a crystal clear sky. With the lights on, the pod ‘appears’, but don’t worry, there are full length curtains which wrap around the room (when you finally close them) protecting your privacy and cut out the light!
