Rural Charm with Private Pool and Pets Allowed
Discover this ideal holiday cottage for 9 people. This 250 m² former farmhouse in the Forez region, spread over two levels, blends the charm of traditional materials with modern comforts. It features four bedrooms (3 double beds, 3 single beds) with comfortable bedding, a large winter lounge with a fireplace, a summer lounge, a dining room, and three bathrooms. The fully equipped kitchen opens onto several terraces perfect for al fresco dining. You'll also appreciate the 2200 m² garden, equipped with a gas and wood-fired barbecue. Enjoy the wellness area with a sauna (optional) and the private heated swimming pool (May 15th to September 15th). Linens, towels, and beds made upon arrival—everything is included for a relaxing stay. Children's games, 200 comic books, books, mountain bikes, table tennis, darts, and baby equipment are provided. A warm welcome awaits you from the owner. Access to the sauna (€190) is available as an optional extra from the owner. This charming cottage, accommodating 9 people, is nestled in a verdant setting in the heart of the Montagnes du Matin, captivating guests with its bucolic surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Meadows, rose gardens, wisteria, ancient oaks, and rolling hills compose the landscape. A secluded retreat where you feel far removed from everything, yet close to what truly matters. Escape the heatwave, the noise, the pollution, the crowds, and the concrete jungle. Enjoy a nature immersion between the Forez, Beaujolais, and Monts du Lyonnais regions. Just a few kilometers away, explore the marked trails on foot, by mountain bike, or on horseback. Discover the medieval villages of Salt-en-Donzy or Chazelles-sur-Lyon, visit local farms, or explore regional castles and museums.

Your host: I collect or rummage through old objects and old agricultural or craft tools. 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.
