Holiday home for 6 people in Étival-Clairefontaine

Great place to stay as a couple with a dog. Very small place, but it is very well equipped. When the sun is out, you can enjoy the big south-facing terrace, when it gets cold you can heat the wood burner (it gets very hot very quickly). Our dog had fun in the big garden, with the neighboring dogs and the private access to the brook under the nearby hill, as well as all the smells of wildlife (wild boars foraging in the neighboring woodland, occasional deer viewings). Plenty of walks all around, from the Saint Quirin hiking area starting right across the street to the Donon hike at a 20-minute drive, Lac de Pierre Percée and many more tourist attractions either with or without dogs. Shopping requires a short drive, as well as restaurant visits. The only downsides for us were the mattress on the big bed (needs replacing, not for weak backs) and the fact that the traditional oven was (temporarily) out of order.

Wir waren richtig happy mit unserem "kleinen" Feriendomizil. Komplett aus gestattete Küche (zwar kein Geschirrspüler, aber das ist/war uns auch gar nicht wichtig). Gemütliches Holzhüttenambiente inkl. toller Terrasse. Schöner Garten mit eigenem schmalen Zugang zur weißen Saar, schöner Garten in dem wir unseren Hund dank Kompletteinzäunung frei springen lassen konnten. Unkompliziertes Handling (z.B Schlüsselübergabedirekt vor Ort, Erklärung der wichtigsten Dinge - > Konversation nur in französischer Sprache) Kleiner Tipp am Rande: an Anti Zecken-Mittel, Zeckenkarte o.ä. einpacken bzw. FSME-Impfung nicht vergessen, da die sehr waldreichen Umgebung nach unserer Erfahrung sehr zeckenreich ist! Unser Fazit: einschränkungsfreie Empfehlung!

We enjoyed our holiday in this holiday home. The house is well maintained and is clean and spacious. All windows have shutters so that the house remains cool during warm periods. The attic does get warm despite the sun blinds, but it cools down there too when you open the skylights. The playground (which is shared with the other part of this house) was also fun for the children. A few houses away there is a small supermarket, useful for (forgotten) groceries.
