Absolutely loved our stay here. The house was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the host thought of every little detail. It truly felt like a home away from home. We’re already planning our next trip back!
A beautiful house, stunning location, and fantastic amenities. Fabien was a very communicative host, and he made us all feel very welcome. We would strongly recommend this house to any groups visiting Alsace.
very nice modern spacy house conform according to advertisement.
Beautiful walks through the hills with endless vineyards, wonderful stops in medieval towns all around and relaxing in a lovely modern house.

Excellent!
We've been to the premis for a week. 2 families, over all 10 + baby. This is one of the most beautiful and well maintained houses and it is located close to Colmar, in one of the most beautiful places in europe. Highly recomended for families!

Hi, Thanks a lot for your kind words. Yes our cleaning team is very careful to prepare O'Connel Lodge for each host comfort and well being during their stay. No doubt the stunning wineyards view from the house participate to the site beauty. Marie-Claire and Fabien

Disliked: Cleanliness
We rented this lodge in Sainte-Marie for a week and it was a terrible experience. The blinds were broken, leaving the house over 95F with no AC or fans. The owners ignored our repair requests; only after days of discomfort did they buy one portable AC unit, forcing us to spend over 1,500 on extra fans and units.The house was dirty, full of bugs, and lacked wardrobes or dressers—our clothes were on the floor, constantly dirty or wet from leaking showers. The furniture was mismatched, uncomfortable, and there was no sofa or proper sitting area, just chairs around a table. Basic essentials like toilet paper, soap, or shampoo were not provided, which is unacceptable for a rental at this price.The owners were dismissive and rude, insisting, “This is the way it is done in France.” For the cost, this was one of the worst rental experiences we’ve ever had—completely unsuitable for Americans or international travelers expecting comfort and hospitality.
We had a wonderful stay at this house in Alsace while exploring the Christmas markets. 🌟 The location is perfect for visiting all the charming villages in the area, and being surrounded by vineyards means breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. 🌄
The house is ideal for large families like ours. The bedrooms are spacious, comfortable, and each comes with its own shower—such a luxury! Having an accessible room on the ground floor was a big plus for our elderly family members. The kitchen is fully equipped, so we had everything we needed to prepare our meals.
The host was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, always making sure we were comfortable and promptly answering any questions. We also loved having space to park two cars inside the property and an additional one on the street for free. đźš—
If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to add a charging option for electric cars with a Type 2 (Mennekes) or CCS2 plug. Currently, there’s only a standard Schuko plug, which is quite slow and not always compatible with all EVs. This meant we had to rely on external charging stations.
Despite this, our experience was fantastic, and we would definitely recommend this house for a vacation in Alsace. Thank you for an unforgettable stay! 🏡✨
Wir haben ein wunderschönes Wochenende mit 3 Generationen in diesem für uns sehr passenden Haus verbracht. Gute Ausstattung der Zimmer, reichlich sanitäre Möglichkeiten, alles sehr sauber und neuwertig. Großer Aufenthaltsraum zum Essen und gemütlichen Beisammensein. Das Grundstück ist komplett eingezäunt was gerade mit Kleinkindern sehr hilfreich ist. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Für uns war es perfekt.
Prachtig huis aan de rand van een veld vol wijnranken. Prima uitvalsbasis als je met een groepje gaat fietsen in de Elzas. Modern huis en goed geoutilleerd.
Wie im Vorjahr haben wir das lange Wochenende am Feiertag für einen kurzen Urlaub ins Elsass genutzt. Wir – 6 Erwachsene und 5 Kinder aus 3 Generationen – haben uns in dieser schönen Gegend und dem tollen Haus an den 3 Tagen wieder sehr wohl gefühlt. Die moderne OConnel-Lodge ist sehr guter ausgestattet und hat uns schon vor einem Jahr überzeugt, die kleine Familienfeier hier zu wiederholen. Mal sehen wie’s weitergeht …
Wir haben einen wundervollen Urlaub mit unserer Familie in Bennwihr verbracht. Das Haus liegt am Ortsrand inmitten von Weinreben, ist also sehr ruhig gelegen. Das Haus bietet reichlich Platz fĂĽr Familien mit bis zu 10 Personen. Wir haben es genossen, entweder auf der Terasse oder am groĂźen Tisch im Wohnraum gemeinsam zu essen.Wir kommen gerne noch einmal wieder.
4 people family fond of moutain, travels and more. We work in consulting, business and publishing. The rental is in our image : forward looking and modern, environmental friendly, bright and welcoming.
Why they chose this property
Madam was born in the village and decided to build this big house from scratch. Amid the vineyard, we wanted to respect the nature using sustainable materials : made mainly from wood, O'Connel Lodge is built to last long.
What makes this property unique
12 people house within 5 bathromms, 1 sauna, 2 mezzanine to play, read and talk. The 60sqm main room is favourable to meals with your family or friends. Straight on the wine road. Direct access to bicycle trails. Ideal location both in Summer or Winter time. To reach the moutain 20km away or walk into the forest, to play at Europapark or visit la Volerie des Aigles. At christmas time, enjoy the traditionnal markets 6km far in Kaysersberg or further in Strasbourg. TGV station at 11km with a bus stop into the village. Bakery in the village and grocery store at 2km.
