The Mountain Hiker***** - View and garden terrace. Privileged environment.

In La Vancelle, a "garden village", between Strasbourg and Colmar, a large holiday apartment with a magnificent view of the mountains and the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle.
Terrace with gazebo in the garden. Beautiful natural setting just minutes from the wine road. Strategic location to explore easily Alsace and even the Black Forest and nearby Germany!

-> Make sure to watch the video posted above to discover the apartment, its beautiful surroundings and the way it is arranged.

Beautiful and comfortable holiday apartment for 2/3 people newly refurbished with organic materials. Private terrace with a gazebo in the garden.

This spacious gite (+80 sqm) is located on the first floor, facing south with a stunning panorama of the mountains and the famous medieval castle of Haut Koenigsbourg. The Mountain Hiker gite is offering charming and luxury accommodation in any season.

Downstairs, in the garden, a gazebo with a small terrace awaits the guests of the gîte. Table and garden chairs make it a specially pleasant place to have tea or dinner outside during the beautiful days, from Spring to Fall.

Decoration is about forests and mountains, dedicated to the first owner and builder of the house who was, until the 1930s, the forester of the Forest of La Vancelle.

Bedroom with king size double bed (180 x 200 cm). Also available with a twin bed layout upon prior request.
The two living rooms (living room and dining room) are en suite and facing south. A extra traditional Alsatian bed is providing sitting space but also a comfortable extra bed for 1 grown-up child or adult.

Magnificent panoramic view over the forest, the mountains and the castle of Haut Koenigsbourg on the horizon.

An independent bathroom and kitchen complete this cozy vacation rental apartment where you will relax after your hiking or your discoveries in the vineyards, along the Alsace wine route (only minutes away).

Our house is a beautiful building full of character built in 1930 and inspired by Art Deco style. In the midst of the Roaring Twenties, its style, modernity and quality of construction was considered as remarkable in the small mountain village of La Vancelle. Today, after a beautiful restoration and development of two elegant apartments (one of them is our private apartment), it will be a romantic, comfortable and relaxing accommodation for your holiday in Alsace, as well as your base camp to discover the whole region.

La Vancelle is a small Alsatian mountain village, nestled on the southern slope of a mountain arch that rises to about 855 meters.

Only a wise eye can see the village from the valley. Hidden in a beautiful forest, it is a haven of peace and nature. And yet it is easily accessible and ideally located, away from the crowds but just minutes from the wine route, the wine villages and the major tourist attractions as The Eagle sanctuary (volerie des Aigles), the Monkey Mountain (montagne des Singes) and the castle Haut Koenigsbourg.

Easy access in any season. Free public parking in front of the house. It is necessary to have your own vehicle.

Our apartment in the lovely village of La Vancelle is the perfect place for your headquarters in Alsace. It offers an incredible combination of all advantages the traveller might look for a comfortable and practical discovery of Alsace:

A privileged and quiet location, easily accessible, with a beautiful view of the famous Haut-Koenigsbourg castle.

It is a lovely apartment with space and top comfort. Completely refurbished with organic materials, beautifully furnished and decorated, a fantastic mountain panorama and a garden where to sit and even have a meal outside.

Nice place in a cosy town
My travel plan was to both Colmar and Strasboug, this place is somewhere in between, the host is very nice to talk to and helpful. The flat is very nice, clean and cosy, because I drive an EV, there's a charging point next to the flat, you can use charge-point card to top up your range.

Very comfortable spacious apartment. Spotlessly clean.
Very comfortable spacious apartment. Spotlessly clean. We appreciated that the basic supplies were all provided. No rushing out to the shops to buy essentials on arrival. Met our expectations. Wonderful Michelin star restaurant 100m away. Good boulangerie and small supermarket in next village short drive away.
