So, the 4 nights we have been staying for the first time in this gite. We have experienced only warm and pleasant moments. First of all a big thank you to the owners for the warm welcome and being helpful in any questions and situations during our whole stay. We very much appreciated the hospitality and the open mindedness. As the owners are living just next door, we also enjoyed the cordial small talk when we were seeing each other. The gite is in a very good shape and is designed with very much love of detail. Every corner and space is used in a most efficient way and the gite has inside and outside everything you need for a perfect and carefree vacations. A 200% recommendation for all who love Alsace and want to spend some relaxing days in the nature, high in the mountains. Again, thank you for everything and we definitely will consider you again when in this area! Good luck and all the best! Alexander ##### Alexander G.

Ce petit coin de paradis parmi la nature est idéalement situé pour partir à la découverte de cette belle région. Le hameau, situé à 5mn de Ste Marie aux Mines (pratique pour le ravitaillement), est au carrefour des Vosges et de l'Alsace. Idéal point de départ pour organiser ses visites : la route des vins, Strasbourg et Colmar, mais aussi de nombreux sentiers pédestres ou Vtt à travers la forêt, sur les crêtes ou de lac en lac. Et pour dénicher les perles des environs, on peut compter sur le propriétaire qui, discret et bienveillant, nous a transmis les informations pertinentes pour profiter au maximum de notre séjour, notamment pour ne rien oublier de la dégustation des savoureuses et nombreuses spécialités culinaires régionales. En tous points de vue, idéal pour décompresser , aérer la tête et remplir les yeux ##### Christine A. Stayed 21 nights in Jul 2016
