We really enjoyed staying here for 4 nights. It is well equipped and very clean. Our dog also loved being here. It is close to a big field to walk dogs and he enjoyed being in the lovely garden. The owners were helpful and welcoming. We stayed here as a base for visiting the picturesque villages and towns in the Alsace wine region and it was perfect for that, as well as giving the opportunity to explore the valley and mountains where it is situated. The house was actually bigger than we expected. We would happily come back here again.

Lebkuchenhaus

Ein toller Urlaub. Das Objekt entsprach voll und ganz der Beschreibung. Das Haus war perfekt vorbereitet und der Empfang durch die Vermieter super nett. Es gab sogar eine Flasche Wein und einen Kuchen zur Begrüßung. Die Umgebung ist für einen Wanderurlaub bestens geeignet. Zum normalen Fahrradfahren nicht so toll, die Radwege eignen sich eher für Mountainbike Fahrräder. Ansonsten alles wunderbar.

Accueil parfait, propreté irréprochable, cette maison est décorée avec goût et il n'y manque rien. Elle est idéalement située près du château, des marchés de Noël de Colmar et keyserberg et de la route des vins. L'endroit est calme et facile d'accès. Je recommande cette annonce.

The gingerbread house was perfect for our stay in Ste. Marie aux Mines

This darling, newly built property with many custom touches is within walking distance of all points in the village. Christine was a charming hostess who gave a thorough introduction to the features of this spacious well appointed 2 story house. My husband, SIL and I were very comfortable in this very clean place for our 5 day stay for European Patchwork Meeting 2021.
