For over 40 years I have been restoring an old farm in the Monts du Lyonnais, which houses the cottage, to restore its former glory using noble and old materials: oak, stone, lime, terracotta tiles, etc. Local granite stone is omnipresent. I cut it, I bush hammer it, I build (dry) stone walls, where you can hardly see the cement, I have redone a porch, fireplaces, stone jambs, etc. I am always happy to answer questions from tenants who are interested in the past and inexhaustible for those looking for a cottage with a real history and soul. End of stay cleaning is included. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Limited housekeeping ### Things to do - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,691 square feet ## Similar properties ![Family Suite, 1 King Bed with Sofa bed, 2 Bathrooms](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1390000/1383700/1383700/d683a2b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Académie Hôtel Lyon Lyon City Centre - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 9.4 Exceptional 212 reviews CA $174 CA $201 total includes taxes & fees Jan 26 - Jan 27 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=1383700&PinnedHotelID=1383700&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Room, River View](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/13100/13023/ee4bd614.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Le Phenix Hotel Lyon City Centre - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 9.2 Wonderful 1,000 reviews CA $164 CA $190 total includes taxes & fees Feb 1 - Feb 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=13023&PinnedHotelID=13023&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/13000000/12860000/12858200/12858182/7462d5e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fourvière Hôtel Lyon Lyon City Centre - Pool - Hot tub - Spa - Pet friendly 9.2 Wonderful 1,006 reviews CA $184 CA $211 total includes taxes & fees Feb 19 - Feb 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=12858182&PinnedHotelID=12858182&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
