Mr. & Mrs. Newhouse have built and service a very wonderful get-away where you can be isolated from all your troubles. Beautiful views from B&B, amid beautiful surroundings. Great conversation & wit!

My wife and I run a business together and the Insel Haus was the perfect getaway for "forced relaxation". Christa and Shelby are the perfect hosts. We would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a remote area to escape to.

Insel Haus is a jewel -- a haven on an island which doesn't encourage tourism. It is full of treasures lovingly displayed by Christa and Shelby, who are a warm, energetic, stimulating pair. The island itself offers solitude and natural beauty.
