Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed staying here for 4 nights. It is well equipped and very clean. Our dog also loved being here. It is close to a big field to walk dogs and he enjoyed being in the lovely garden. The owners were helpful and welcoming. We stayed here as a base for visiting the picturesque villages and towns in the Alsace wine region and it was perfect for that, as well as giving the opportunity to explore the valley and mountains where it is situated. The house was actually bigger than we expected. We would happily come back here again. ![View from the garden/house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1a4e948-3549-478e-9648-59e8d2ab801d-1749805674265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![House & neighbouring houses from the field opposite ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cf116e2-9809-4349-96c3-f733723cc884-1749805672858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Neil M.
