Patrick and joelle were lovely and helpful on our arrival and throughout our stay. Homemade lemonade was waiting for us on arrival, delicious and refreshing after our long journey. Homemade tart also delivered mid week. So kind of the hosts. Accommodation matched our expectations and needs. Property backs onto the forest with access to the bolders with spectacular scenery on your doorstep! Bikes available for use too. Pool was great size and available to use between 1pm to 7pm everyday. Everything you needed in accommodation. Beds were comfortable and towels provided. We had an amazing two weeks and hope to return. Thank you so much Patrick and joelle!

What an absolutely wonderful place! Our hosts were very welcoming with lemonade on our arrival and Patrick showed us round and explained everything. The welcome booklet was comprehensive and Patrick gave us ideas on things to see and do during our stay.
The accommodation was lovely. Well stocked with what was necessary. The forest is literally behind the house accessed by a locked gate. Lots to explore and rocks to climb on. The pool was used most days and cooled us down on hot days. The cover made sure thay even when it rained a little we could continue swimming and playing. We played table football as well as ping pong and although didn't use the bikes, a thoughtful addition. There are supermarkets nearby and well positioned for all our visits.
We visited Fountainbleu castle and Veux le Viconte (host recommended) and Disney.
We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2023
We spent two weeks in September, enjoying a mix of bouldering, cycling and walking in the forest. The weather was perfect and we greatly enjoyed an afternoon dip in the pool as the temperature hit the thirties. The gite is very comfortable and ideally located with quick access to the forest. The provision of bouldering mats and bikes was a great asset.
We were made very welcome and are already planning a return visit next year.

Abbiamo passato una settimana indimenticabile! la casa e' assolutamente come descritta, bellissima e offre una qualità che vale le 5 stelle del giudizio.Siamo stati accolti da Joelle e Patrick (i proprietari) che si sono dimostrati gentili e disponibili come se ci avessero conosciuti da molto più tempo.Il giardino e' chiuso, recintato e quindi ci sentiamo di consigliare la casa anche per chi ha animali come noi e vuole lasciarli liberi di giocare in giardino: noi abbiamo viaggiato coi nostri 2 cani.La casa ci e' stata consegnata pulita e fornita di tutto: stoviglie, asciugamani e teli da bagno e lenzuola, proprio come nella descrizione.La Foresta dei 3 Pignons che offre stupende passeggiate e anche la possibilita' di arrampicata, si trova a 5 minuti di cammino da casa.La regione inoltre offre innumerevoli siti turistici come i castelli di Versailles e Fontainebleau, e tanti villaggi storici e pittoreschi come Barbizon ad esempio: depliant e guide turistiche sono comunque disponibili in casa per potersi organizzare al meglio, insieme ai suggerimenti di Patrick e Joelle!Vogliamo ringraziare Joelle e Patrick per averci fatto passare una settimana veramente speciale in un posto cosi bello e magico.We spent an unforgettable week! The house is absolutely as described, beautiful and offers a quality that is worth the 5 stars rating.We were greeted by Joelle and Patrick (the owners) that have proven helpful and friendly as if we had known a lot longer.The garden is closed and fenced and then we can recommend the house even for those who have animals like us and want to leave them free to play in the garden: we traveled with our 2 dogs.The house was immaculate clean and provided with everything: dishes, towels and bath towels and sheets, just like in the description.The "Forest of 3 Pignons" offers wonderful walks and also the possibility of climbing, is a 5-minute walk from home.The region also offers numerous tourist attractions such as the castles of Versailles and Fontainebleau, and many historic towns and picturesque villages such as Barbizon, for example: brochures and tourist guides are available in the house in order to better organize, together with the suggestions of Patrick and Joelle!We want to thank Joelle and Patrick for letting us spend a week in a very special place so beautiful and magical.
