About this property

Rural Calm for Country Lovers

Light and airy two bedroom cottage with beautiful views. In a calm but not isolated location. Close to small towns with all facilities. Kilometers upon kilometers of forestry trails on the doorstep with horse riding available within the hamlet. A paradise for lovers of nature and outdoor activities. Walking, cycling, riding and swimming opportunities exist in abundance.
Night time is very special when there are clear skies (due to a lack of light pollution). The Milky Way often visible and shooting stars frequently sighted. Owls are often to be heard calling to each other.

Maison très agréable

Maison bien située (à 5 min du lac de Panneciere) dans le Morvan et très calme. Décorée avec beaucoup de goût, elle est dotée d'une jolie terrasse et est très bien équipée. Les enfants n'ont pas été oubliés, des jeux de société sont disponibles. Le propriétaire est très gentil et accueillant mais aussi très discret. Je recommande totalement pour tous ceux qui aiment la nature et le calme de la campagne.

La Croix Milan - Morvan

We have spent most of our holidays, for the last 10 years or so, in the Morvan region. We had the opportunity of getting to know a lot of local people an spent (several times a year) a week or two in different holiday homes. So far so good. But the problem was always to find a well heated and comfy home in early spring and/or winter. As we write this, it is the end of misty, foggy and cold January. So we were very surprised to find this new holiday home in 'La Croix Milan (Mhère)'. New since 2019. Of the 25 or so holiday homes we booked in the past only very few could stand the "winter season test"! Nick and Karen (the owners) have done their very best to make this 'gîte' comfortable and warm (21°C on arrival). Which was great! Nick and Karen (English and French spoken) are a very helpful couple on who one can always rely. The holiday home is very spacious and has all the modern equipment that one needs today. The interior is light and open with a well chosen and perfect mingle of natural colors and materials. Certainly not overdone. There is also plenty of space to put your own stuff in. The 'hameau' of 'La Croix Milan' is well situated in the middle of the west Morvan. Thank you Nick and Karen, until next time! Michel Buyssens Zoersel - Belgium

About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
Back as a holiday let for 2026 after closing for a while as a direct consequence of brexit.
We are owners of a second home in France, purchased in 2003. In 2019 we acquired the neighboring house that we once again letting as a holiday home. This time with the assistance of a professional concierge service to ensure the guest experience possible.
We fell in love with the area which is somewhere that friends and relatives who have visited us describe as wonderful and a great place to re-find that inner calm we all seek.

Why they chose this property

Previously rated with three stars by "Meublés de Tourisme" and now awaiting a new rating the property has the exterior appearance of a small french cottage but once inside it is more akin to a large city apartment or loft space. The ground floor is a bright airy open plan area, great for a family or group of friends socialising together. The bedrooms are also bright with adequate space whilst being at the same time giving a wonderful sense of cosiness with the sloping ceilings. Outside is a covered area where you can dine whilst sheltering from the heat of the day or wet weather.

What makes this property unique

The house is perfectly situated for exploring the Parc Natural Régional du Morvan. Opportunities for outdoor activities exist in abundance, many of them such as off and on-road cycling, horse riding and walking being literally on the doorstep.
Nearby attractions such as Vezelay, Lac de Panneciere, Lac des Settons, Mont Beuvray, Chateau de Bazoches, and many others are a short scenic drive away.
The house enjoys beautiful views to the west. The sunsets are glorious. When darkness falls the night sky is magical due to the lack of light pollution.
Whilst being close to a principal route it is never busy and often deserted all day long.
