In the heart of the Monts du Lyonnais, come and disconnect or rather reconnect with nature in our small cottage well kept in all simplicity, for a weekend or more.
An old stone farmhouse, the property dates from 1875 and was completely renovated in the 2000s, respecting the original architecture.
The cottage is located between l'Arbresle and Tarare in the commune of Saint Julien sur Bibost at an altitude of 450 m.

With a surface area of about 50 m², it has 4 comfortable beds (a 160 cm bed and a 140 cm sofa bed).
Access to the outdoor swimming pool (shared with the owners) during the summer period.

You will have WIFI access.
There is no television, so it will be an opportunity to enjoy a perfect disconnection and to indulge in some reading! We provide some books and board games.

Breakfast not included.

Sheets and towels / dish towels provided.
A roll of toilet paper/garbage bag/a little washing-up liquid provided.
Bins to empty and used laundry to be collected.

Description:
Charming stone cottage of about 50 m², silent, organized on 2 floors.
On the first floor, you will find an open kitchen with equipment (small table, oven, microwave, hob, large fridge with small freezer) as well as a small bathroom room (walk-in shower and toilet).

Upstairs, there is a living room area with a sofa bed that can be used as a bed for two people (140 cm) as well as a mezzanine (open) with a large double bed (160 cm). The beds are therefore not located in separate rooms.

The staircase that leads to the living room area as well as the one to access the mezzanine are quite steep.
You can enjoy a south-facing terrace with table, hammock and deckchair, parasol, on the side of the cottage with beautiful views of the hills.
A charcoal barbecue is available on request.
Fans available.
The entrance to the cottage opens onto a courtyard shared with our house.
Here, you will rub shoulders with horses and goats that live year-round in the parks around the property.
You can also come across goats, goats (not aggressive but potentially intimidating!) chickens and cats in the wild.
We have several beehives nearby, honey sale on site.

Activities:
Hiking enthusiasts will be served. Whether on foot or by mountain bike, everything is possible, but be careful, this way it climbs! GR7 nearby.

Points of Interest:
Our cottage is ideally located to discover the cities of Lyon (less than an hour away), Saint Etienne (1 hour), the Beaujolais mountains (30 minutes away) and the charming villages in the surrounding area.

Local activities:
"Parc animalier de Courzieu" (wolves and birds of prey), fir lake, swimming pools and spa. Markets and local producers. A booklet with activities to do in the surrounding area will be present in the gîte.

Nice place in the middle of nature We enjoyed the view and the cats The weather was not so good, therefore we had to stay inside the cottage (and inside is fine but a little small) Unfortunately some things were not filled up (1 trash bag for two bins, empty soap in bathroom, empty dish towels, half a roll of toilet paper) - it would have been nice to have these things as standard equipment

Wir haben es genossen! Wir hatten auf der Durchreise zwar nur eine Übernachtung, aber die Haustiere haben uns gleich in Herz geschlossen. Es gibt ein extra Buch, wo die einzelnen Haustiere extra beschrieben sind. Köstlich! Tyff, wir lieben dich! Ach ja, die Eigentümerin war natürlich auch sehr nett :-))) Rundum zufrieden!
