We rent this at ± 500 m. high, south facing, wooden (Red Cedar) house about 6 to 12 weeks a year.
The target group for the rental is 2 adults + a baby, or a combination of 2 x 2 adults, or 2 adults + 1 or 2 older children (>16).
Reason: Because the house is not equipped to accommodate children, we do not want to rent it out to people with growing children, for example, there is a spiral staircase in the living room to the upper floor (really dangerous for small children), however, the decor can be quite luxurious be called. A lot can be destroyed and damaged by young children, accidents happen quickly!
The house is a luxurious and detached châlet in two floors (each floor 8x13 meters) and is located in the so-called "green heart" of France, in an area known to many as "Le Bourbonnais". This area is also known by the department name Allier (03), named after the tributary of the Loire with the same name. Here you are indeed still in untouched agricultural and richly wooded area. Every view gives a different picture of the continuously varied and rolling landscape, here one can still find real peace, a pleasant climate and extensive hiking and excursion options. In the immediate vicinity of our house is the vast Forêt-de-Tronçais with five lakes (étangs, some with a beach), many monuments of cultural-historical significance and attractive affordable culinary options).
For wine lovers it is possible to buy in the St-Pourçain area (an Appelation Controlée, yes!) from one of the many friendly winegrowers.
Close by (± 4 km) there is a recreation area with a “Plan d'Eau” where swimming, surfing, fishing and sunbathing are possible.
Weekly markets are held in the towns in the immediate vicinity and in summer there are so-called "brocantes" everywhere to stroll around and browse for nice, old utensils, which often change hands for very little money. A nice area, so that at the end of your stay you run the risk of finding out with some regret that you did not have enough time and that the holiday here should have lasted longer!
