Escape to the Mountains

We had a fabulous stay here. The house is bigger than it appears in the pictures, and exactly as described. We stayed for five happy nights, very comfortable bed, easy house to live in and well equipped. Brenot is a delight, very helpful and fair. We would highly recommend this house, as well as walking up the mountain - fabulous; and hotel Elisabeth is great for a short walk and a meal. The return journey takes a little linger up the hill! Thank you Brenot.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le gîte, très propre, joliment décoré, très fonctionnel avec une bonne literie ! Les photos ne lui rendent pas assez hommage. Notre hôte était très accueillante et de bon conseil sur la région. Très réactive également, nous avons eu un souci avec la cuisinière réglé dans la journée. En prime une délicate attention à notre arrivée : du jus de pomme maison fait avec les pommes du jardin.Nous y séjournerons à nouveau avec plaisir si nous revenons en Alsace !

Osterwochenende

Bezüglich der Check-in-Zeit und der Check-out-Zeit kam uns die Vermieterin entgegen, so dass wir Sachen im Haus deponieren und den Tag vor Ort nutzen konnten. Das Ferienhaus ist gemütlich, geschmackvoll und funktionell ausgestattet. Gut gefiel uns, dass man sowohl in der Küche als auch im Wohn-Esszimmer essen kann. Vom Wohn-Esszimmer aus hat man einen wunderschönen Blick auf die gegenüberliegenden Berge. Auch die weitere Ausstattung des Hauses ist prima. Es ist alles vorhanden: Gartenmöbel, Grill, Tischtennisplatte, Kinderspielzeug, Bücher, CDs, Karten und Infomaterial. Alles perfekt! Und die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich! Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!
