About this property
Peaceful house in nature with fireplace and pets allowed
Detached house for those who love peace and quiet and nature (electric heating included).
Ground floor: kitchen with dining area and wood-burning stove, dining room with lounge, TV, fireplace with insert (1 basket of wood provided), shower room with WC.
Mezzanine: games room with foosball table and library, laundry room, and upstairs: ST CORNIER SUR MER bedroom with a king-size electric bed (180 x 200 cm), TV, kitchenette (hob, fridge, and sink), en-suite shower room with WC.
Upstairs: LE DUC DU HOUX bedroom with a double bed (140 x 190 cm), COQUELICOT bedroom with two single beds (90 x 190 cm), LA BOTANIQUE bedroom with four single beds (90 x 200 cm), bathroom (shower and bathtub), separate WC.
Terrace. A 3,000 m² wooded garden with an unfenced pond, an orchard (apple, pear, quince, cherry, and peach trees), and small fruit trees (blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, and blackberries).
Parking. Bicycle and motorcycle storage available.
Mandatory cleaning for business clients. A discovery awaits you at the edge of a peaceful haven surrounded by nature, where each season will surprise you: the Gîte du Houx.
This is a traditional stone house, completely renovated. The kitchen's bay window overlooks a lush park. Here and there, rare tree species surround the pond and stream, which provide welcome coolness in summer. A little further on, on a lawn, the traditional apple orchard offers an inspiring retreat, where nature puts on a spectacular display of colors.
At the end of the day, the fireplace provides a pleasant alternative to the sun, and you can use the built-in barbecue.
Jean-Marie and Colette Dumaine, retired restaurateurs, invite you to share their family home with them, after their journey in the world of gourmet cuisine featuring wild plants in the Rhine Valley. You'll even get to sample a delicious treat from their homemade delicacies upon arrival!

Your host :
Jean-Marie Dumaine, originally from the Bocage Virois, is a star chef across the Rhine and his wife Colette was born in the cottage. The chef has been cooking with 350 species of plants for 40 years. They are based in Sinzig, a German town near Bonn. He fell in love with the region, the Rhineland, and repatriated his wife and children there forty years ago. “I've always been impressed by German rigour,” he confides with a smile.
