Holiday home with Sauna in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges

On arrival the owner was already present at the house. She received us friendly and welcoming. Showed us the house. That evening there was a wedding behind the house. Fortunately not much trouble, because the weather was bad. We were later approached by other back neighbors that they thought we had complained to the police about the wedding, which was absolutely not the case. Did they believe us? It will. Anyway. So it seems that the house is completely free, but that is not the case. The back neighbors (older people who make a lot of noise with leaf blowers and other activities) were loud and clearly present. Fortunately not all day long. The house is located at an altitude of approximately 600 meters. First larger supermarket (Le Clerc) is located 20 minutes lower. Washable. We have eaten twice in the nearby restaurant (Zollstock). Very welcoming and tasty (and lots of) food. Experience a day trip to Strasbourg, Colmar and Riquewihr, as well as the Plan Encline. Last day we visited the small village of Saverne, with the palace of Rohan. Of course we have also been to the church on the Rock Dabo. You shouldn't miss that if you look forward to it all week. The dog could go free all week and went its own way. We were regularly lost, then she was playing on the adjacent pasture. Ideal without traffic nearby. Sleeping was upstairs with a steep staircase. That was getting used to, but manageable. The bed was not ideal, very low, due to a sloping day and getting out on one side. All in all, we had a great week in the Vosges and Alsace.The cottage was a nice stay for a week.We thought it should have been the other way around. to the side where the car is in. Then you would have a lot more room to sit outside and then you are almost as good as sunset.

We (family with 4 kids from 0 to 8) enjoyed a 2-week holiday here in the summer of 2020. The holiday home is in a fantastic location, a pleasure for peace seekers, hikers and nature lovers. From Saulxures it is a ten minute winding on narrow mountain roads before arriving at the cottage. The view is superb! Within a 30-45 minute drive you can reach almost all the highlights of the Vosges. Such as the Hoheneck, large waterfalls, beautiful lakes. But directly from the cottage there are also plenty of beautiful walks to walk, also to wide views. 10 minutes drive to the nearest supermarket.Wel some getting used to if you do not have 4G and internet., NL television is also missing. Even normal mobile phone coverage is not very good. After a few days of getting used to it, we could really enjoy it. The house itself is fine and clean. A bit dated here and there. In the kitchen some things are missing and the dishwasher is very small for 6 people. Awkward that you have to walk through each other's bedroom (also for the toilet). The stairs creak so badly that you can wake up the whole family. The managers are very friendly and helpful. They come immediately with questions! We don't speak French, but you can go a long way with hands and feet. High chair and cot were arranged for us (because in principle not available). The DVD player was broken, but within 3 days a new one was arranged. The holiday home is not especially suitable for children, but there is a lot of space around the house, a large piece of flat lawn for example to play football. The children have never been bored. The lake at Saulxures is recommended (swimming). Costs a few euros pp.

We were greeted by the son of the hostess very nice with pastries and a bottle of wine. The house was also very comfortable. As far as the fireplace, so we could buy wood in the village, which is also supplied if necessary. Thus we had it always pleasantly warm in the house. The house was clean and it was in each room enough space for two persons. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything you needed. The garden was very nice and you could there The peace and quiet enjoy. The garden is not fenced, but after two days our dog knew exactly where he should go. So that was not a problem. The environment is fantastic. Very many hiking possibilities, without needing a car. All in all, we liked it very much and can recommend the house.
