The manager was very kind and was responsive to any questions we had. The only thing that was different from the online listing was that someone else was staying at the house next to it during our stay.

The property is in a very quiet area with several villages not far away and easy to find with a GPS navigation system; our car used TomTom. The house is very comfortable and clean; the property is restful with many amenities. There is a very nice bakery about 10 minutes away by car in the village of Cheverny .

If you're looking to experience the French countryside and be within easy driving distance of major chateaux (Blois, Chambord, Cheverny, Chenonceaux, and Amboise), this is the place for you! We took advantage of the small heated pool for swimming and also the available bikes to take a ride to nearby village Fougeres and its old castle. Caretakers were helpful.

The pictures don't do it justice. It is clean and everything works as advertised including a washer and dryer. They have bicycles for riding around the flat countryside. And they provide ping pong, badminton and a small pool that is amazing for hot summer days. The owners are wonderful (but you'll need to speak French or use your phone to translate) and they have an English speaking manager Patrick. This place provides for an amazing experience in the French countryside. ##### Dwayne R.

What a beautiful location, in a peaceful country setting, yet close to many of the Loire Valley's interesting sites and towns. The house and property are so lovely with tons of space to spread out. We were happy to have the well maintained pool to cool off in, given the heat we experienced. The owner, Patrick, was very easy to deal with and very hepful when there was a small mix up with VRBO reservation process. The caretakers, Brigitte and Jean-François, take great care of the property and house, and were very responsive to any questions. The barn was rented out to another party during our stay, but this did not pose a problem as they were very quiet and their outdoor space is very separate from the main house's. We would not hesitate to return to La Ménagerie in the future. ##### Carmen K. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Q P.

Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Beautiful but hidden charges and conditions The house was beautiful, well equipped with sports equipment and well located. Unfortunately there were undisclosed conditions, eg check in only before 7pm which was impossible for us given our travel plans, pool heating charge, dog charge and a deduction from our cash deposit due to the house being left dirty (reasons given being towels left on the bathroom floor at the end by the children and DVDs left out of order). The owner claimed these terms were all in "the contract" but when I found the "Standard Conditions" doc in my emails they were not, nor were they included in the property listing on Vrbo. This all left a rather unpleasant taste, unfortunately. ##### Melanie H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver H.

Ideal für Leute, die Ruhe suchen. Sehr netter Gastgeber! ##### Andreas K. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### S. D.

Zeit zum Lesen, gemeinsam kochen und essen, Tischtennis und Boule spielen, Filme schauen, draußen sitzen, die Ruhe genießen und jeden Tag ein anderes Schloss besichtigen. Hier kam jeder auf seine Kosten. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes, geräumiges und gepflegtes Haus, sehr sympathischer und hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Das Loire-Tal ist landschaftlich weniger ansprechend als gedacht, daher für die Lage nur vier Sterne. ##### S. D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### véronique R.
