We all know that pictures sometimes lie. In this case, the reality is even better than the pictures. This house is amazing. Everything is neat, in proper working condition, clean, and easy to keep clean. The owners have outdoor furniture that allows you to eat every meal outside, which we did. The pool is a great feature for the kids and can be closed in case of bad weather or cool breezes. The views from the grounds are amazing, and it is walking distance to the lake (note: it is not really walking distance to the beaches but it is biking distance to the closest beach). We drove to the beach in Doussard and the beach in Talloires. The bike path is directly behind the house so bring or rent bikes. The market is close by, as is downtown Doussard where there was an outdoor market on certain days. The location of this house is great and allowed us to do many different things including biking, hiking, swimming, and paddle boarding. This house was a little more expensive than some of the other Annecy listings we looked at, but we believe it was well worth the money we spent. We highly recommend this rental property, especially if you have children who love to swim.
