Catherine and Gilles welcome you to their 1815 farmhouse, located on the GR559, La Truite Vagabonde and L'Echappée Jurassienne trails, a 30-minute walk from Cascades du Hérisson and close to Lake Bonlieu, Le Pic de L'Aigle, des 4 Lacs and its belvederes, Lake de Clairvaux, Lake de Chalain, Lac de L'Abbaye, Les Gorges de La Langouette, La Source de La Saine, Lac de Vouglans, Baume Les Messieurs, etc...
This farmhouse has a long history, spanning different eras and owners. Originally a traditional farm, the entrance to the barn and stable with their arched porches and stone hinges remain. One of the key figures was Mademoiselle Hélène Girardin, a former schoolteacher who, after the war, took in a flock of Kids in search of fresh air. She lived to 99 and is buried at Bonlieu. Then there was the former owner, who set up the bed and breakfast business, and finally us, who ran it for 14 years. When we retired, we transformed them into large Holiday cottages. The vocation of this building seems to be to welcome and accommodate holidaymakers.
This 180M2 former farmhouse has: 3 bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and private wc Possibility of double beds or single beds
fully-equipped kitchen, laundry room, 3 small lounges for reading, games, TV and overhead projector, large terrace with summer kitchen, closed garage for bikes, carport. Housekeeping included in the price.
This large Holiday cottage has a maximum capacity of 14 people, making it ideal for groups of families, friends, hikers, mountain bikers and cyclists.
In the low season, we can also accommodate small groups, bed and breakfasts for couples and itinerant hikers.
