Completely renovated in 2026, this charming cottage elegantly blends old-world charm with modern comforts. Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Indrieux, in the commune of Arandas, in the heart of the Bugey region, it accommodates up to 6 people in a pristine natural setting. Adjoining a second cottage of the same capacity, it is an ideal place for a stay with family or friends, exploring an authentic region. From the moment you enter, the spacious living area reveals the house's character with its imposing old cider press, a testament to its history. Exposed stone walls, warm wood accents, and a fully equipped modern kitchen create a welcoming atmosphere. Keep an eye out: the traditional Bugey ramekins have found their way onto the kitchen backsplash! A nod to Emily, the cheesemaker on the family farm, who produces this famous cheese. The cottage is arranged over two levels, with a few steps typical of old village houses leading to new, welcoming spaces. It has three bedrooms, each equipped with two single beds (90 x 200 cm), a shower room, and a toilet. Access to the cottage is either through the living room overlooking the courtyard or via a bedroom on the first floor, offering greater flexibility. Outside, enjoy a small private garden and a pétanque court for relaxing moments. Fans are provided in the bedrooms. Located at an altitude of approximately 700 meters, the hamlet generally enjoys cooler temperatures than the valley floor. The surrounding area offers numerous opportunities for exploration: hiking and walks on the Plateau d'Hauteville, cycling routes on the roads of the Bugey region, swimming in Lake Virieu-le-Grand, visiting the Cerveyrieu waterfall, or experiencing the thrill of the Hostiaz via ferrata. A games room shared by both cottages is available, featuring a pool table, foosball, a library, and board games. A wellness area with a shower, toilet, and sauna is available as an option (€12 per day, upon reservation with the owners).
