About this property

Idyllic holiday home by the Meuse

Welcome to The French House - Authentic, Artistic & Full of Character.

Step inside a house that lives. The French House is not a standard house, but an atmospheric home full of character, imperfection and charm. Think a stray drawing on the wall, a drawer that doesn't quite run smoothly - these very details make this home unique and beloved.

With four bedrooms, this residence can accommodate up to seven guests. With family and friends, enjoy the peace and comfort this enchanting retreat has to offer.

Located in charming Lanaken, just a few kilometers from Maastricht.
Vrijthof is 5.6 km from the vacation home, and Sint Servaas Basilica is 5.7 km away. The nearest airport is Maastricht-Aachen Airport, 11 km from Maas Suites - The French House.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The French House was a great choice for our family of 6 - 2 parents and 4 teenagers. There was parking for our rental van. The proximity from Maastricht was perfect. We chose the French House for its central location from Bastogne and Cologne. The kitchen and patio area suited our breakfast dining needs. The bedrooms are all upstairs. The stairs are traditional, narrow and steep. We appreciated the different spaces the rooms provided for our family. It was also helpful to have one shower and a tub with a shower. We made use of the washer. The house was full of unique doors and oozed charm. If you are looking for a traditional rental, the French House is a perfect choice.

It is a very cozy house and nicely decorated. There are many small furnishings that give the accommodation a special charm. The location is perfect: very quiet and yet you can quickly get to Maastricht. The beds are very comfortable. The small courtyard is cozy. Communication and access on the day of arrival worked without any problems.

The listing is great. The place in real life, however. AMAZING! Definitely exceeded our expectations. Incredible views, lots of space, beautiful garden, and the house itself is huge with lots of little surprise corners/doors. On top of that, everything is clean, and the kitchen has everything you’d need to cook a complicated dinner haha (supermarkets closeby!). We’ll definitely be back!!

We waren met 5 vriendinnen. Gezellig ingericht, authentiek huis. Leuk met de verschillende vertrekken en leuk zitje buiten. Alles was aanwezig, goede, lange bedden en prima matrassen. Vooral de douche beneden gebruikt. Heerlijk. Qua locatie perfect om met de fiets naar Maastricht te gaan. Kwartier fietsen. Voor het avondeten Thais- afhaal om de hoek en wandelen in het natuurpark in de buurt. Een heerlijk weekend in leuk huis op een mooie locatie! Dank voor de goede zorgen!

Charmante woning op mooie plek! Wij hebben midden in Maastricht een mooi interieur mogen maken voor een luxe bakkerij en na een dag hard werken was dit een heerlijk thuiskomen. Indien wij in de toekomst nog eens werk in de buurt hebben is dit zeker een optie om nog eens gebruik van te maken.
