A nostalgic old French home in a secluded, tree-lined valley, situated directly along the Le Drouvenant River in the charming village of Clairvaux-les-Lacs. The house accommodates up to 9 people across 2 apartments connected by a connecting door. 3 bedrooms, a living room/bedroom, a living room, 2 fully equipped private kitchens, 2 shower rooms with toilets, 2 satellite TV sets, and good Internet reception (no free Wi-Fi). The house, originally a watermill, is tucked away in a peaceful setting, yet within walking distance of the town center with its various shops and outdoor cafes. You can relax in our spacious garden, equipped with all the amenities you need, such as picnic tables, patio furniture, a BBQ, and a fire pit for cozy evenings, or on the charming beach of Lake Clairvaux (5 min. by car). Enjoy the tranquility by the water and the cozy, authentic atmosphere of our house, which is over 200 years old; pets are warmly welcome in the fully enclosed garden.

    not practical: 2 kitchenettes with utensils divided between them. No cupboards to store your groceries. (We put them all the time in crates on the floor) Tip: Pull a kitchen to the room and put a large table with 9 chairs. Mosquito nets for the windows is also recommended because we were quite annoyed by mosquitoes ....

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The garden is nice and spacious and really left to nature, the grass was cut. More than enough nice garden chairs available. The house, on the other hand, was less than we expected. Upon arrival we immediately noticed the musty smell. We opened all the windows and then we were fine. The cleaning left much to be desired, but fortunately a suitable solution was offered with the owner. Because the house is divided into two parts, with 9 people it is a bit of a struggle to sit at the table or sit on the couch. Because the weather was nice we could often eat outside and with adjusting our expectations (no washing machine among other things) we still had a nice vacation.

    We had the linked homes, the 6 of us. That was just enough to have our own room for almost everyone. I recommend not having more than 6 there, but technically it can be done.Excellent facilities! Enough stuff to shower, cook and have all the conveniences. A list of available stuff might not be a luxury, as we had trailer with a lot of stuff, which were already there (like bbq, lounger etc...) As some guests have described as simple, I disagree. I found it quite luxurious! Very nice to have been there for 2 weeks. Contact with owner was also nice. Gas ran out after 2nd day and new gas bottle was immediately available in 'basement'.I definitely recommend it!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Nature house(s) was secluded (in sort of industrial park), but in the middle of nature. The backyard and stream provided space, peace and nature experience.

    It couldn't have been better.

    It was a super relaxing vacation away from the noise and yet only 5 minutes to the bakery. Everything you need is there. Great hiking trails nearby and ideal for dogs.
