About this property

Cabane Chalet eco-lodge & wooden sauna in the heart of the Vosges forest

In a private property, at the edge of a pond, come and relax in our ecogite. You can enjoy the calm of the forest safely in a luxury chalet. You can relax on the terrace at the water's edge to admire the carp, under the foliage of the high Vosges fir trees, in the sun to make your barbecue or at night in our Norwegian kota, with sauna over a wood fire.
We mainly host families, because the property has a real room, and two convertible sofas (and a small kid's corner castor for children).

Lovely quiet cottage

The stay was beautifuy and calm. The area around the cottage is quiet but easily accessible (1h walk from the train station or 10m by cab). The landlords are very friendly and accommodating. We rented MTBs and have driven some of the numerous and well-marked routes in the area. Overall a very nice stay, happy to return.

Special gite in a beautiful place

The gite is in a special place, near Epinal, but in the silence and seclusion. The gite is very complete but could use a good cleaning. Keep in mind that the Wifi connection can be poor, inconvenient if you have online obligations.

Nice quiet place in the woods at a privat lake

Very nice Cabin with sauna at a privat lake. There are good walking trails and Épinal is a short distance away. The kingfishers and the Blue Herons are your fishing neighbors. In the lake at the cabine are big carps and chubs. At knight you can hear owls and foxes. Just the right place for nature lovers.

Das Haus ist ein Geheimtipp. Eigentlich sollte man diesen nicht weitergeben, ausser man will, dass auch andere Menschen von dieser Möglichkeit profitieren können. Danke an Philippe und Carine für die zurückhaltende aber aufmerksame Unterstützung. Wir kommen wieder - die Karpfen im Teich werden sich freuen!

Wunderbar

Das Haus mit guter Ausstattung, reichhaltig Ausgestatteter Küche, liegt alleine an einem See, sehr ruhig, wunderbar wenn man Ruhe sucht, aber nicht weit von der nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeit entfernt. Direkte Möglichkeit zu Wanderungen oder Ausflügen mit dem Fahrrad. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Calme et reposant

La maison a la qualité d'être isolée tout en etant très proche de commerces . Nous avons passés un très bon séjour au calme dans un chalet tres spacieux pour deux. Le petit lac est entièrement privatisé pour la location et entouré d'une forêt qui vaut la peine de s'y promener, avec de belles couleurs ! L'idée d'écogite a été poussée à son apogée avec la panne du generateur les deux dernières nuits . Attention donc si vous voyagez en automne ou hiver, l'énergie produite est loin d'être suffisante pour une basse consommation pour deux personnes .

perfekter Ort, um Ruhe zu genießen

Die Vermieter waren sehr hilfsbereit und für Fragen erreichbar. Die Ruhe aufgrund der Lage im Wald wurde von anderen Bewertungen bereits hinreichend beschrieben. Besonders hat uns am Ferienhaus gefallen, das Strom und Warmwasser direkt vor Ort erzeugt wurden. Am Teich konnten wir viele Tiere beobachten. Direkt vom Haus sind mehrere Rad-/Wanderwege erreichbar (und bestens markiert). Auch in die Stadt kommt man bequem zu Fuß so daß man das Auto häufig stehen lassen kann. Wir hatten zwei äußerst erholsame Wochen in Epinal

Wonderful stay at private forest plot

We were looking for a tranquil and quiet place and got what we wanted. Wonderfull house with a large terrace. We had the fen all for our selves. With the doors wide open sitting inside feels as outside as wel. Although the place is very calm Epinal and a large supermarket are just around the corner. We did some hikes directly from the house. Short strolls but also hiked for hours. After a week we were completely rested. We will definitely return some other time

Superbe gîte niché dans un écrin de verdure. Gîte conforme à l annonce, literie de qualité. Petit déjeuner en observant la faune et la flore (notamment des chevreuils). Seul petit bémol, le manque de matériel de cuisine et la gaziniere un peu vetuste.

Prachtig gelegen Ecologische Gite - 100% privé gelegen

Afwerkingsniveau is heel erg goed. Je kunt zien dat het huis met liefde en aandacht in elk detail is gemaakt. Mooie combinatie van moderne techniek (alle stroom wordt opgewekt door zonnepanelen en mooie TV met Netflix) en ouderwetse huiselijkheid, doordat alles van hout is gemaakt met een fijne houtkachel. De plek is heel bijzonder doordat je je eigen meertje hebt, inclusief prachtige vissen en kleine schildpadden; en het terrein volledig omsloten is door bossen. Dus het is volledig privé. Groot terras aan het water en daarnaast vier verschillende uitgebreide zitjes vlakbij het huis. Met buiten BBQ, eigen sauna en grote houtvoorraad uit eigen bos Carine en Philippe zijn bijzonder gastvrij en hartelijk. Ook praktisch is dat ze uitstekend Engels spreken. Niet aarzelen, maar boeken!
