“This is an excellent base for a cycling holiday around Lac Annecy. The house and its location could hardly be bettered; 150 M from the beautiful park and beach area on the lake with a very handy cafe for a post ride recovery drink and cooling dip in the lake. The house has lots of lovely green space for eating out and resting, it is quiet and secluded. The house is large, and comfortably accommodated our 8 riders (might be tight for 13!). It was well equipped and everything worked. The bathrooms/showers were adequate for our size group. The large garage is great asset. There are countless rides accessible riding out from the house utilising the piste cyclable in one direction or the other. Every ride provided stunning scenery, challenging but doable climbs and breathtaking descents, and there are plenty of villages with the essentials of cafe next to boulanger. The 3-D map of the area on the wall was a great aid in ride planning. The L&M restaurant up the road was perfect for our last night dinner.
It would have been nice to have met Stephanie face to face - but she was quickly responsive to our requests. We wondered how secure the key deposit arrangement was, but it worked for us! Finally, Vrbo don't seem to have a policy of encouraging a 'house book' where people add their favourite restaurant, visiting places, swimming places and boulanger etc. Our view is that this practice provides useful info.
Fantastic holiday and the end-of-August AlpinBike cycling sportive weekend was a bonus.
