About this property
Peaceful house in nature with pets allowed
Detached house for lovers of peace and quiet and nature (electric heating included).
Ground floor: kitchen with dining area and wood-burning stove, dining room with lounge, TV, fireplace with insert (1 basket of wood provided), shower room with WC.
Middle floor: games room with foosball table and library, laundry room, and upstairs: ST CORNIER SUR MER bedroom with double electric bed (180 x 200 cm), TV, kitchenette (hob, fridge, and sink), shower room with private WC.
Upstairs: LE DUC DU HOUX bedroom with double bed (140 x 190 cm), COQUELICOT bedroom with two single beds (90 x 190 cm), LA BOTANIQUE bedroom with four single beds (90 x 200 cm), bathroom (shower and bathtub), separate WC.
Terrace. A 3,000 m² wooded garden with an open pond, an orchard (apple, pear, quince, cherry, and peach trees) and berries (blackcurrant, redcurrant, blueberry, and mulberry trees).
Parking. Bicycle and motorcycle storage available.
Housekeeping required for business clients. A discovery awaits you on the edge of a peaceful setting surrounded by nature, where each season will surprise you: the Gîte du Houx.
It's a traditional, fully renovated stone house. The kitchen's bay window overlooks a lush park. Here and there, various species of trees surround the pond and stream, providing a refreshing summer breeze. A little further away, on a lawn, the traditional apple orchard offers an inspiring refuge, where nature offers a colorful display.
At the end of the day, the fireplace provides a pleasant substitute for the sun, and you can use the built-in barbecue. Jean-Marie and Colette Dumaine, retired restaurateurs, invite you to share their family home with you, following their epic journey of gourmet cooking using wild plants in the Rhine Valley. You'll even be able to sample a taste of their gourmet creations upon your arrival!

Your host :
Jean-Marie Dumaine, originally from the Bocage Virois, is a star chef across the Rhine and his wife Colette was born in the cottage. The chef has been cooking with 350 species of plants for 40 years. They are based in Sinzig, a German town near Bonn. He fell in love with the region, the Rhineland, and repatriated his wife and children there forty years ago. “I've always been impressed by German rigour,” he confides with a smile.
