Lovely restful week in a beautiful corner of France
The house is spacious with fantastic views. Two big triple rooms and 3 doubles. One down side is that there is not a shower in the main bathroom so only 2 showers and 1 of those is in a bedroom. Big games room with table tennis and table football. Loads of outside space ( deck and balconies). Walkable to town though steep climb back up! Two lakes to play on; Gerardmer and our favourite, Longedmer. Loads of great places to walk from the door. Download Kamoot app and off you go. Fab holiday. Besutiful part of France. Many thanks.

Grosszügig und kreativ
Ein sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Farbsinn eingerichtetes Haus. Es ist viel Platz vorhanden drinnen und draussen, auch für elf erwachsene Personen. Die Lage ist sehr schön und schon am Haus gibt es viele Möglichkeiten um sich zu beschäftigen (Tischtennis, Tischkicker, Pizzaofen). Die Gastgeber sind unkompliziert und antworten schnell.
Es war ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt - und sehr gerne wieder!

Perfekt für Familie
Wir waren 3 Familien zusammen (10 Personen) und das Haus ist wirklich groß genug. Ausblick ist wunderschön. Es war nur schade, dass es für eine Person im Rollstuhl nicht die Möglichkeit gibt, auf die Terrasse unten zu gehen. Dafür müsste was neben die Treppe im Garten etwas für Rollstuhl gebaut werden, ich denke, dass es möglich ist. Sonst alles war perfekt.
