A lovely weekend away!
We absolutely loved our stay at Sarah and Claudes. The property is stunning, with beautiful views of the mountains surrounding. The house is huge, and perfect for a weekend away, with all kinds of amenities (sauna, games). Communication was excellent, and Sarah and Claude were attentive hosts. We could not have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend!

Fantastic unspoilt hideaway
From the moment that we arrived we were spoiled, personally welcomed by Claude & Sarah at the door. They had left wine and cheese for the adults and apple & pear juice and cakes for the children all from the local area, which were a lovely start to this fabulous stay. The whole Gite was fantastic, split over 3 levels, in this quite hideaway, we could not have asked for more and were spoilt, after travelling onwards on our French summer vacation, it was further clear how good our stay was. It’s such a lovely quite area of France to stay, with so much on the door step, from watching the sunset at the top of the Col Du Grand Colombier, swimming in the nearby lakes, miles of rolling roads for cycling, tree top adventures and not forgetting the wine tasting. The Gite had everything we needed for a family of 5, all the games available, to the pool and perfect accommodation. We loved the Gite and hospitality so much, we have booked again with Claude & Sarah at one of there other Gites for next year for a full two weeks. Thank you Sarah & Claude.

Amazing villa !

Fantastic stay, exceptional property and great hosts
We stayed for a week during our honeymoon with our dog Harry. Sarah and Claude were great throughout from arranging arrival, local area tips, and even recommending and booking a restaurant. Great walks, shops, bakery (best croissants ever!) and friendly local bars nearby. Spectacular views and sunset from the terrace, comfy beds, very clean and well equipped house! Too cold for pool in March but we thoroughly enjoyed garden, terrace, sauna and games room for chilled out evenings. Highly recommended!

Merveilleux! Great stay in beautiful house
What a fabulous holidays we had in Chavornay. Wonderful house with fantastic view ! Such a great welcoming by Sarah & Claude who really want their guests to feel home, enjoy holidays and get to know l’Ain & surroundings. We were lucky to enjoy gîte de l’école last year and fully enjoyed being in gîte Colombier this time. Clean and clear house, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, big living room and last-but-not-least a wonderful covered terrace where we spent lots of great moments with our kids and friends. Sarah & Claude do share all good ideas to organize activities, hiking, biking and “good life”. We would highly recommend to spend time there. Leaving is not easy, but is full of beautiful memories. Merci Sarah & Claude pour votre accueil chaleureux dans ce magnifique endroit. Tout était présent pour passer de merveilleuses vacances: piscine, jardin, vue, 4 chambres, salle de bains, cuisine équipée, grand séjour, magnifique terrasse couverte avec vue imprenable. Vivement à conseiller!

Superbe maison de vacances avec une terrasse fantastique et des couchés de soleil à couper le souffle ! La piscine est superbe et nous avons pu en profiter pleinement, le jardin offre des coins d’ombres pour les siestes. Sarah et Claude sont accueillants et toujours disponibles pour les conseils et pour les réservations. Les activités sont nombreuses ; randonnées à partir du gîte, lacs, dégustations des vins (merci Sarah et Claude)… Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour, nous recommandons fortement cette adresse.

Super séjour dans un cadre agréable
La maison est idéale pour les activités adultes et enfants (piscine avec profondeur variable, billard, baby-foot, sauna). Le four est un peu petit pour une cuisiner en grande quantité. Nous sommes venus en famille et avons passé de bons moments, notamment sur la terrassee. Le portail de la piscine ne pouvait pas se fermer à clé mais les enfants ont été disciplinés. Nous recommandons cette maison.

Très belle maison bien située
La maison est très belle avec un coup de cœur pour la grande terrasse !!! Idéalement situé avec un terrain de pétanque à 2min en voiture. Petit bémol pour le sauna qui ne marchait pas ce week end là, seulement 3 raquettes de ping pong (dommage une 4eme serait la bienvenue) et le manche du baby-foot cassé donc pas de possibilité de jouer... Quelques rafraîchissements à ce niveau et ce serait parfait ! Un grand merci à nos hôtes, nous avons passé un super séjour !

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in schöner Lage
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Haus von Sarah und Claude. Der Pool war gefüllt und wurde gereinigt, war im April aber eiskalt, was die Kinder nicht davon abgehalten hat, trotzdem reinzuspringen. Im Sommer ist er sicher ein Traum. Sarah hat uns bei der Ankunft empfangen und war sehr nett. Für 7 Personen + Hund war genügend Platz, Haus, Garten und Terrasse sind groß. Es gibt sogar eine kleine Sauna, Tischtennis, Billard, Dart und Tischfußball. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön! Insbesondere für Radfahrer, aber auch zum Wandern. Lyon ist einen Besuch wert, man erreicht es in etwas über einer Stunde. Vielen Dank an Sarah und Claude, dass wir in ihrem schönen Haus wohnen durften.

We were impressed and felt so comfortable
We arrived very late, which was no problem for the landlords. From the first moment we felt very comfortable in the beautiful house. There was wine for us and juice for the children as a gift on the table and fresh flowers in the vases. The next morning, when we looked out the terrace with its incredible panoramic view, we were completely blown away. Everything was designed and made with love. We enjoyed playing table football and spending hours at the pool. The equipment is very good and everything is clean. The whole house invites you to stay. Everything can be reached within a few minutes by car. The owners are very nice and answered all our questions very quickly.

Wir hatten mit Freunden und 2 Hunden eine prima Woche in diesem tollen Haus mit einer wunderschönen Terasse und einem schönen Pool, die wir ausgiebig genossen haben. Sarah ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin und hat uns viele Tips für die Umgebung gegeben. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön und mit den Hunden optimal. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus spazieren gehen. Falls es uns nochmal in die Gegend zieht, würden wir das Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen. Liebe Grüße Michaela

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille pendant les vacances de la Toussaint. Bien chauffée, très propre, équipée d’un sauna et d’une salle de jeu, la maison est confortable et agréable à vivre. Une terrasse couverte équipée d’une grande table et d’une balancelle permet de profiter d’une jolie vue sur la vallée. La maison est bien située : le village le plus proche (Artémare, à 5 minutes en voiture) dispose de plusieurs commerces de bouche et d’un petit supermarché. Nous avons été gentiment accueillis et pu profiter des conseils avisés de la propriétaire sur les sites à visiter. En deux mots : très bien.
