House for 2 to 12 people, residential area

A short distance from a water park, sledding, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 31-minute drive to Parc Naturel Regional Livradois-Forez or the 3-minute drive to Musée de la Coutellerie (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Thiers Station, a short 11-minute walk away.

Relax on the deck or patio (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) of this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo.

A living room, a dining area, a desk, and a printer are featured at this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
