Summary: The gite was tastefully decorated and had all the equipment you need. We visited in a heat wave and the gite was nice and cool and a has a huge bathroom / walk in shower. Lovely terrace outside which gives privacy from neighbours. Matthieu lives opposite and was on hand for anything we needed but not at all intrusive. Also lots of lovely forests nearby to walk or cycle in and it's near enough to the German border to easily have a day in Germany.

Summary: A well appointed cottage with lots of space. Very friendly and helpful host. Only reason not to give location 5 stars was the slow Internet. Only a problem for the younger members of the party, and not the host’s fault!

Summary: We spent a week in this lovely cottage with lot of character. It is situated in a peaceful village. The cottage is equipped with all necessities and we looked forward to return to it after a day hopping from one amazing village to another. A very good variety of wines and juices are available at very ready prices. The owner of the cottage, Matthieu, is very friendly and helpful. He provided us with information of places to visit. One can even order freshly baked bread from Matthieu. We definitely recommend this cottage.

Summary: We very much enjoyed this house. It is spacious, old and has a real good atmosphere, with its wooden floor and beams. The owners are friendly and helpful. The location in relation to Strasbourg and the Route des Vins is favorable. Tip: visit the St.Louis boat lift, "Le Plan incliné de Saint-Louis-Arzviller"! You won't believe your eyes ....!

Summary: As my spoken as well as written french is less than basic, I rather leave an english review. We arrived here in Birkenwald to find ourselves within a peaceful tranquility which is hard to find somethere in central europe. Mathieus hospitality and assistance was outstanding in any way. We soon realized, that we´ve got to come back there. The house was clean and tidy, equipped with everything needed and above all, of a very special charme. Merci beaucoup and au revoir ....
