Paradise

We had a wonderful vacation, in spite of hurricane Idalia. We had to leave for a few days but we were so grateful it missed the Island and we were able to return. It wasn't as remote as I thought it would be and the restaurants were great. We can't wait to return!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans ce très joli chalet tout en bois. Le grand espace de vie au rez-de-chaussée est à la fois confortable et chaleureux, avec un poêle à bois qui crée une ambiance très conviviale. La cuisine est parfaitement équipée, ce qui est un vrai plus. On a également beaucoup apprécié la belle terrasse et le grand jardin — idéal pour se détendre ou faire des barbecues.Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, la salle de bain est fonctionnelle, avec en bonus une machine à laver et un sèche-linge. Tout est pensé pour qu'on se sente comme chez soi, y compris pour les familles avec enfants, même en bas âge.Le chalet est idéalement situé, au calme, en retrait de la circulation, tout en étant proche des commerces du village, dont un supermarché très pratique. C’est aussi un excellent point de départ pour explorer la région (Rouge Gazon, Bussang, Ballon d’Alsace…) avec de nombreuses possibilités de randonnée, de cyclisme et de VTT.Enfin, l’hôte est extrêmement gentille et accueillante, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable.Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation !
