5/5

Small wood-and-stone farmhouse of 95m2 at the gateway to the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. Authentic, rustic charm with imperfections and marks left by time. Ground floor: large room with kitchen, dining room and living room equipped with a wood-burning stove. 1st floor: bathroom, office area and cosy space for reading or playing board games. 2nd floor: two bedrooms with double beds (160x200) and storage space. The farmhouse is equipped with electric dry inertia radiators, but if you wish to stay in winter, you'll need to light the wood-burning stove to obtain a pleasant temperature in the ground-floor living area. One stere of wood per week is included in the winter price, and a washing machine is available in the laundry room of your host's house opposite. The gîte is not recommended for young children: stairs and railings are not suitable.

Nature and surroundings

The gîte is on your host's property, opposite the main house, which is also an old farmhouse. It's right in the middle of nature, with no close neighbors. We are surrounded by several hectares of meadows, themselves surrounded by forest. The property covers an area of 5000m2. You'll have both private and shared spaces with your host. 3 private terraces are at your disposal: one in front of the gîte for morning sun, one behind for shade on hot summer days, and one in the middle of nature for relaxation. Herbs, fruits and organically grown vegetables from the garden can be offered according to season and availability. You can go for a walk directly from the property, or take the car to explore the surrounding area. You'll find all the necessary amenities within a 10-minute drive.

Beautifully converted detached part of old farmhouse. Fields, woods and streams all around. Located one km from a small village center.

The house is very cute and well equipped. Everything is thoughtfully arranged with love and care. (Don't forget to bring warm clothes, as the stone walls keep the house cool even in summer.) Sandy was responsive and very accommodating throughout our entire stay - an extraordinary host! Highly recommended, 100%!

We had a lovely stay at this place. Upon arrival, we were greeted with home-grown vegetables. An absolute highlight is the surrounding garden, which offers numerous lovely spots to sit (and eat) outside, as well as fresh herbs - and, if you're lucky, vegetables.!

Of all the nature houses I have seen, this is definitely the most beautiful. What is special is Sandy's attention to sustainable solutions. For example, next to the house is a fantastic vegetable garden. Officially for private use, but we were given delicious Haricots verts, zucchini and all kinds of fresh herbs. The weather in this region is very variable, but that produces beautiful nature.

Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

This cottage exceeded our expectations. It is an incredibly beautiful cottage, interior, exterior, surroundings and views (!) are fantastic. Host Sandy is very helpful and communicative. There is hardly any traffic on the rural road in the picture. Within walking distance are fantastic forests where you can hike endlessly. Do bring a compass or something, because there is not always a signal! Stores are about 20 minutes away by car.
