QUIET HOUSE MOUNTAIN SWIMMING MOUNTAIN BIKING HIKING

Close to birdwatching, motor boating, and more, this family-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 13-minute drive to Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park or the 19-minute drive to Vélorail des Gorges du Doux (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 1830-sq-ft vacation home, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
