4.9/5

A house in Alsace located south of Colmar, nestled among vineyards and forests at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, featuring a large outdoor area, a covered patio, a pergola, and a south-facing patio (all private) where you can enjoy the surrounding nature and the delightful sound of birdsong. The 83 m² vacation rental occupies the entire ground floor of our home. It is a comfortable, nature house—very well-equipped and a pleasure to stay in—featuring high-quality bedding, a 160/200 bed, and individual comforters, along with Linvosges bed linens made from natural materials. We (two people) live above the cottage and have our own terrace upstairs. During the cooler months, you can relax by the fireplace after a busy day. All-inclusive rate, covering utilities, bed linens, towels, and kitchen towels, as well as end-of-stay cleaning, excluding the tourist tax (€0.88 per person over 18). For your comfort, the beds will be made and the cottage will be heated upon your arrival. Check-in starts at 5:00 p.m. and check-out is by 10:00 a.m.

Nature and surroundings

Our nature house in the Alsace region is situated in a quiet, lush setting surrounded by orchards, vineyards, and near the forest. It overlooks an orchard, a vegetable garden, and a more natural area where columbines, lemon balm, and borage grow—much to the delight of the bees. In winter, you can watch birds at the feeders, and in summer, you can see bats, great spotted woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, and tree creepers as they move through the trees. Direct access to hikes up to the Vosges peaks—Petit Ballon, Grand Ballon—or walks through the vineyards to discover the beautiful views of the plain. Orschwihr is separated from the departmental road by a legendary limestone hill, the Bollenberg, well known to naturalists for its flora and fauna. Alsace has an excellent road network, allowing you to travel quickly from south to north. You can easily reach the mountains via Guebwiller and the Florival Valley. Ecomuseum and Eguisheim: 15 minutes; Colmar and Mulhouse: 25 minutes; Guebwiller: 8 minutes

    The "cottage" is very spacious and comfortable; everything you could need is provided, right down to a shoehorn and a toaster (which is especially nice with gluten-free bread). There’s also extensive information on hiking trails and day trips.
    The chairs were comfortable thanks to the seat cushions.
    The hosts’ hospitality was heartwarming. We were treated to mirabelle plums, figs, grapes, zucchini from the garden, homemade jam and cake, and the local specialty, “Kugelhopf”!
    Our request to turn off the Wi-Fi at night (due to my sensitivity to radiation) was also no problem at all.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The tranquility was “overwhelming”; every now and then, you could hear the silence. And at night, a very clear starry sky—no light pollution like we have here.
    On one of the three terraces, you could always find a spot in the sun or in the shade, with a view of the vegetable garden and orchard.
    After a 5-minute walk uphill, you’re already in the Vosges forest with plenty of hiking trails, and if you head the other way, in 6 minutes you’ll be at the foot of the rolling vineyards of Alsace—a truly unique spot!

    The house was cozy and fully equipped. Access via a remote-controlled gate was excellent. The car is safely parked on the property.
    The only real problem we encountered was with the chairs. They weren’t very comfortable for us; my wife developed lower back pain and I had pain in the backs of my knees. That was because the edges of the seats pressed into your legs.
    On the plus side, the house offers three places to relax outdoors. It’s also nice that all the windows have electric roller shades. The first week of our stay coincided with a heat wave, with temperatures rising above 40°. It stayed warm even at night. Fortunately, we had a standing fan, and the owner provided us with another one.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Very quiet location on the outskirts of the village. There is occasional noise from a neighboring business (tractors, machinery, etc.). There was also some noise from the square where the World Cup soccer matches were shown on big screens. But that was sporadic and, of course, only happens once every few years.
