Discover peace, space, and stunning nature in this cozy yet spacious nature house. The house, located on the outskirts of the hamlet, is built from various types of wood and features a warm, inviting interior. Forty years ago, the owners fell in love at first sight with this wild, unspoiled area and started an organic farm there. This cottage, located 150 meters from the farm, was built by the owners themselves—from the sturdy rafters, the roof, and the exterior walls right down to the beds. Inside, you’ll enjoy underfloor heating, air conditioning, and a heat pump; outside, a fenced-in garden of 400 m² awaits. From the very spacious balcony, you’ll have sweeping views of a small lake and the valley. Here, you have a great chance to spot wildlife! The property is suitable for all ages, and baby amenities are available upon request. Dogs are welcome (up to two; more upon request). Experience the peace and quiet of the outdoors in a unique setting created with love and craftsmanship.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is located on the Plateau de l’Artense, an unspoiled area covering 455 km² at an elevation of 600 to 1,000 meters. This paradise for nature lovers takes you along numerous trails through forests and meadows, past centuries-old rocky paths, moss-covered walls, and streams, all the way to the Sancy mountain range. The area is densely forested with beech, pine, and oak trees, which support a rich variety of wildlife. With a bit of luck, you might spot red deer, roe deer, wild boars, badgers, and birds of prey such as the red kite and the buzzard. For active guests, there’s plenty to do: from biking, swimming, climbing, and horseback riding in the summer to skiing in the winter. Culture lovers will be delighted by the region’s ancient Romanesque churches and castles. Although the plateau is made of granite, the Auvergne is a volcanic region. In the northeast, rising among the mountains, is the Puy de Sancy (1,886 m)—the highest volcano in France. Of course, you can also simply stay at the cottage to enjoy nature in peace and quiet.

Lovely recliners, good bed.
Heerlijke relaxstoelen, goed bed.
Beautiful place, very well equipped cottage. Great host/hostess, extremely friendly. Big advantage that you could make beautiful walks from the cottage. And bike rides.
Prachtige plek, zeer goed geoutilleerd huisje. Geweldige gastvrouw/heer, bijzonder vriendelijk. Groot voordeel dat je vanuit het huisje prachtige wandelingen kon maken. En fietstochten.

We were very satisfied, but some new kitchen supplies would be nice (lighter, can opener and corkscrew from this century). We also found the deposit and paying separately for linen, cleaning and electricity to be separate (all cash), as well as the responsibility for (restocking); you don't want to think about that on vacation. The owners brought us fresh eggs, which we really appreciated!
We waren zeer tevreden, maar wat nieuwe keukenbenodigdheden zouden fijn zijn (aansteker, blikopener en kurkentrekker uit deze eeuw). Ook vonden wij de borg en het los betalen van linnen, schoonmaak en stroom apart (alles cash), evenals de verantwoordelijkheid voor (het aanvullen van) de voorraad; daar wil je op vakantie niet over nadenken.
De eigenaren brachten ons verse eitjes, dat waardeerden wij zeer!Beautifully built cottage, very quiet and beautiful surroundings, lovely views and directly on (by the owners) marked hiking trails through the beautiful house. Really in the middle of nature, but with fence, which was ideal for the dog.
Prachtig gebouwd huisje, zeer rustige en mooie omgeving, heerlijk uitzicht en direct aan (door de eigenaren) uitgezette wandelroutes door het mooie huis. Echt middenin de natuur, maar met omheining, wat voor de hond ideaal was.
