SUZAN du Bois d'Argent~ stylish cottage in peace and nature

Large, elegant country house in the green for up to 4 guests in the **Winter SEASON and up to 6 guests in the **Summer SEASON (see below) **Please enquire about family rates!!!**

The detached cottage with a wide garden is located very quietly on a hill in one of the hamlets of Taintrux. Saint-Dié-des-Vosges is about 12 minutes near by car, Col de Bonhomme and Gérardmer about 30 minutes.

Framed by flowering ornamental bushes, lush wisteria and trees with silver lichen (“Bois d’Argent” - silverwood), the 3000m² property includes a garden with two terraces and a small wild forest. Un hammock invites you in the shade on nice days and in the light of the sunset on warm evenings.

The heatable winter garden in the middle of the green looks through the birch trees into the Vosges. Do you like cooking? Then you will appreciate the 'Bocuse' gas stove with two electric ovens and the stylish dinner service.

In the summer, comfortable lounge furniture invites you to the terrace. In wintertime, the evening on the large sofa is accompanied by music from vinyl or the Bluetooth box around the cozy wood fire of the 'Godin' stove in the salon.

The open bedroom 1) with a large king-size bed (180 x 200 cm) is adjacent to the living room - perhaps the sun will greet you through the fig tree in the morning?

The cozy bedroom 2) with a wide queen-size bed (140 x 200 cm) has direct access to the bathroom with shower and toilet.
The bathroom has a second entrance from the hallway.

There is space for one car or two motorbikes in the carport and up to three cars at the end of the driveway. Bicycles can be stored in the garden shed on request. A mountain bike is available for hire.

Two terraces, equipped with seating, cushions and tables (with parasols), are available, depending on the time of day, at the front and back of the house for meals (including barbecues), and additional seating in the garden will allow you to create your own favourite spots.

In the upper garden, there is a second terrace with a parasol and outdoor games such as ‘Viking Chess’ and ‘Cornhole’, as well as equipment for playing lawn tennis or badminton, plus a volleyball and a football.
The spacious property, with lush bushes and trees (no fence), is almost entirely secluded and has no immediate neighbours or boundary fences.

**SUMMER SEASON
From 1 May to 30 September: Up to 6 people can book, as the rooms in the annexe, which do not have heating, can be used in summer.
In the annexe, floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the garden bring you close to nature.
In the summer bedroom 3), a country-style king-size bed (2 x 90 x 200 cm) and spacious wardrobes ensure elegant comfort. A vaulted passageway leads to the summer lounge, where you can sit in the cosy seating area with a two-seater sofa and a wicker chair, or at the desk behind the large windows, as if you were in the garden.

Please note:
- Bedroom 2) automatically becomes a walk-through room when the summer rooms are in use.
- The summer rooms: At night, you may hear the paws of cats or martens on the roof ;))
- When booking the summer rooms, the whole house is available as usual.

Arrange your arrival with complete peace of mind:
There is a key box by the side entrance on the right to give you access to the house. You’ll receive the code via text message on the morning of your arrival.

At dusk or in the dark, we recommend using a torch or your mobile phone’s torch to see the numbers more clearly!
The key will open the front door (not the side door)!
With the information in the guest book, which you’ll find in the kitchen, your check-in will go smoothly!

When you leave, please return the house key to the key box.

Roseline will be your helpful point of contact on site. If you have any further questions, I’m available by phone and Messenger.

We’re committed to ensuring you have a wonderful stay in the cottage – please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

I’ll be delighted to welcome you!
Erfreut, Sie im Cottage begrüßen zu dürfen!
