The very large garden, patio and adjacent pond will make for a calm and quaint stay where you’ll be able to relax. There are plenty of outdoor activities in the area (hiking, kayaking, vélorail) as well as great local food. The vineyards of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire, as well as Guédelon are a 30min drive away. You will find all you need in Donzy (5min drive), including a supermarket with a drive through. The chalet was built in 2008 with ecology in mind. Whenever possible, materials were locally sourced, such as the timber used to make the patio and the dining table which come from Donzy. The chalet is equipped with solar panels, a solar water heating system and a wood burner stove. You’re also encouraged to use the recycling bins as well as the compost bin. Depending on the season, the fruit trees, berry bushes and hens will give you plenty of fresh fruits and eggs. Note that there isn’t any cockerel so your sleep will stay undisturbed! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Limited housekeeping ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Quadruple Room (Chambre d'hôtes) | Garden view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32450000/32444600/32444541/b31b0e06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tramois - Chambres d'hôtes Donzy - Pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Breakfast available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-21&endDate=2026-04-22&selected=32444541&PinnedHotelID=32444541&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119690000/119682800/119682799/0941b240.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Le Neuillon" charming little house in the house.

Ein schöner Holztisch aber nur Holzbanken zum daraufsitzen ohne Kissen!! Draußen auf der Holzterrasse gab es weder einen genügend großen Sonnenschutz noch Sitzkissen auf den eisernen Stühlen. Der Garten ist leider ungepflegt. Trotz dieser kleinen Mängel konnten wir die Ruhe genießen und die Gegend erkunden. ##### Christine und Andreas R.

Das kleine Ferienhaus befindet sich (wie beschrieben) kurz vor einem kleinen Dorf in einer kleinen Straße weit ab von Lärm. Durch das große Grundstück hat man sehr viel Platz und auch das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man für ein paar erholsame Tage benötigt. Das Ferienhaus ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Ausflüge. Ob durch die kleinen Dörfchen schlendern, Burgen besuchen (sehr zu empfehlen: Guédelon, Chateau de St. Fargeau), im See baden oder in Patisserien leckere Teilchen verspeisen, für alle ist was dabei. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! ##### Irina B. ---
