Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Das Haus von Marie und Phil bietet alles für eine so grosse Gruppe und ist sehr schön eingerichtet. Wir konnten alle zusammen essen und spielen. Es gab die Möglichkeit Croissant und Brot zu bestellen, was einfach herrlich war.
Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft!
We were a group of 18 people (friends) and we enjoyed the place. The House is very big (lot of room), every room has its own bathroom. Big garden with table and BBQ. Including a Sousa, a pool, a snooker, table football ...
Very quiet surrounding in the nature.
Host super friendly and speaking English.
Un beau séjour Familial entre la beauté de la nature Vosgienne et le confort du Gite
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans ce joli gîte rustique mais très bien équipé et confortable. Idéalement situé à quelques km de Gerarmer Nancy ou encore Colmar nous avons pu visiter en journée et revenir prendre du bon temps au gîte en fin de journée. Piscine, SPA, hammam ou encore de longues soirée en terrasse dans le très grand Jardin. Je ne peux que recommander ce gîte. Merci aux propriétaires Marie et Phil pour leur accueil bienveillant.
Our group of 16 family members, ranging in age from 4 to grandparent age, was easily accommodated in Marie and Phil's gîtes. We appreciated the fact that each room had its own ensuite (with hand soap and hairdryer). The kitchen of the main gîte was just big enough for us all to eat at the same table when it rained. When the sun came out, we were able to eat just outside the main kitchen. Rooms were comfortable enough and the kids found plenty of entertainment with the games room (pool table, giant jenga and especially baby football, plus ping pong rackets for the table outside), garden swings and football. The kids also enjoyed the indoor swimming pool (pool towels were provided), which is thankfully heated as it was quite cool when we were there. We also used the small steam room and sauna. Marie and Phil, who live just on the other side of the courtyard, were very welcoming, accommodating and helpful with advice. Marie speaks French and English fluently. We were touched by the welcome goodies, such as a homemade cake, fresh eggs and crémant, that were awaiting us. There is a pond on the other side of the road (hence the name of the gîtes) and plenty of space in the garden behind which meant it was very tranquil and we didn't feel we were crowding the other neighbours. We had a delicious paella on the first night (arranged by Marie) and very much enjoyed the four meals which we asked Marie to cater. She was willing to accommodate the two vegetarians in the group. The location is a 15-minute drive (including some windy roads and some faster ones) to the nearest main town - Gérardmer. We visited Colmar, Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, WWI trenches (La Ligne), a sweetmakers, booked pony riding for the smaller kids and outside adventure activities for the bigger kids, so there was plenty to do in the area even in cool, rainy weather. All in all, the property met our needs and allowed us to have a relaxing and fun family getaway.
Semaine très agréable. Accueil des propriétaires chaleureux, cadre magnifique, gîtes spacieux et confortables.
Le tout dans une région riche. (randos, ...)

Perfect getaway house for our large group
Phil and Marie have created a luxury retreat in this Vosges farmhouse. It was absolutely perfect for our large group of 6 adults and 11 children—affording us just enough space to allow for privacy but encouraging lots of fun activities together. Pool, game room, soccer in the fields, raclette dinners, walks down the country roads, day trips to Gérardmer and Alsace. We all highly recommend this house to everyone! Phil and Marié are really lovely (and arranged for our daily bread/croissant deliveries from the local baker!). Couldn’t really have been better!

Très bonne adresse
Nous étions 4 couples et 3 enfants de bas âge dans le gîte le forestier.
Petit séjour très apprécié par tout le monde. Chaleureux, décoré avec goût, confortable et adapté aux enfants (chaises hautes, lits parapluie, barrière de sécurité aux escaliers...).
Espace aquatique très bien.
Seul petit bémol la réception TV et Wi-Fi.
A cause de circonstances particulières, la propriétaire n'était pas présente mais a donné le relais à un couple d'amis très sympa. Par mail et téléphone elle était à l'écoute, très agréable et attentive au bon déroulement du séjour.
Petit village joli avec épicerie d'antan à voir ! Bien situé. Idéal en toute saison.

Great Gites in the heart of the Vosges
A group of 12 or so friends have been taking cycling holidays in France for the past few years, and this is the very best self catering accommodation at which we have stayed. The old buildings have been converted and restored to a very high standard, and were ideal for our needs. Although being three separate (but connected) gites, we could all gather in the well equipped kitchen and lounge of the largest gite, and enjoy barbecues outside with a lovely rural view. The owners live on site, were extremely helpful and friendly, and also provided high quality food when we did not fancy cooking for ourselves. Highly recommended for groups such as ours, cycling or walking, or for large families.

Merveilleux séjour!!!!
Marie et Phil ont accueilli toute notre famille pour célébrer le baptême de notre petit-fils : ils ont abrité quatre générations dans ces superbes gites : propres, confortables, lumineux!!!! La logistique était bien rôdée : barnum chauffé, grand feu au fond du jardin pour griller le cochon et cuisines toutes équipées pour la préparation des buffets. Nous avons pu organiser cet évènement en toute convivialité. Merveilleux séjour!!!!!! Merci Marie et Phil!!!!

QUE DU BONHEUR!!!!!
Si vous recherchez un endroit pour vous détendre et tout oublier avec toutes les prestations sur place, choisissez ce gîte. Nous sommes venus pour un anniversaire entre potes et nous n'avons pas eu besoin de bouger... terrain immense au milieu des champs avec terrain de pétanque, piscine, hammam, barbec, bref le bonheur!!!!!
Les propriétaires sont voisins mais très discrets et surtout très serviables et disponibles si besoin.

Idéal pour un séjour en famille (18 personnes)
De 3 à 85 ans, chacun y trouve son compte.
Beaucoup d'espace à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur. De belles chambres chacune avec sa salle de bain. Pour les loisirs: la piscine très appréciée, la salle de jeux avec billard, baby-foot..., le grand jardin et son terrain de pétanque. Et aussi une belle région pour les balades à vélo ou à pied (lac de Gérardmer, promenade des cascades de Tendon). Tout cela avec un accueil très sympathique et la disponibilité des propriétaires. A recommander

Bof, vraiment déçu..
Très déçu de ce gite, la propriétaire rentre dedans quand on est absent..
Chalet isolé, loin de tout, le téléphone ne passe pas, la télé n'a pas de chaîne et la wifi n'en parlons pas...
Les ustensiles (casseroles, assiettes,verres, appareil à raclette et fondue..) ne sont pas prévu pour le nombre de couchages et en plus de cela ils sont très usés voir à jeter.
Les finitions et le ménage sont bâclés, cela ne fait pas propre.
Attention à la taxe de séjour très élevé !!!
Ne nous reviendrons pas...

Fantastic retreat
Our first impressions were wow. Tastefully decorated with everything you need. The spa room with pool, sauna and steam room is amazing. Set in an ideal location to chill and relax - we miss seeing the wildlife and watching the sunsets. Would recommend to anyone - definitely the best Gite we have hired yet.

Beautifully converted gite in a stunning location.
Very clean and comfortable gite, with many period features incorporated into the new. Situated on a plateau giving good views of the mountains but very open and with wonderful sunsets, the clear night skies filled with stars. We were made very welcome and the owners could not have been more helpful with suggestions for visits and places to see. Lots of outdoor activities in the area, the swimming pool and sauna adding relaxation after an energetic day. I will be recommending this gite to friends and family.
