This is a lovely place to stay. On arrival we received a very warm welcome from the owners with a cake and bottle of wine presented to us. They are happy to advise on places to go, walks to do etc and always on hand in case you need anything. The gite was as described online. All equipment was was in good working order and the gite nicely decorated and spotlessly clean with the grounds kept tidy. Location of the gite within Oderen is very good - situated a good distance back from the main road through Oderen so it is very peaceful there and you have easy access to walks up into the hills behind - you can walk straight from the gite without having to drive anywhere if you wish, as we did a couple of times - well worth the walk for fantastic views. It also feels nice and safe there - we were travelling by motorcycle which I don't usually like leaving parked outside at night, however I was perfectly happy to park the bike outside the gite on the private drive.

For food, there are a couple of large supermarkets maybe 8 to 10 minutes drive away. There is a bar in Oderen but it didn;t seem to be open whilst we were there. There is a cafe at the Tabac and a couple of restaurants in the next village a short drive away. The gite is well placed for trips out to such places as Ricquewirh which is worth a visit, the Stork sanctuary and also for other walking in the Alsace beyond the hikes available immediately from the gite. We had a really nice stay here and would definately recommend this gite to friends/relatives. If visiting this area again we would have no hesitation in staying here again ourselves.
