Charming gite in the Monts du Cantal. Pets allowed.

A short distance from cross-country skiing, cycling, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Cascades Lake or the 25-minute drive to Lac de Lastioulles (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) of this 1615-sq-ft vacation home, which also offers a BBQ grill. When you come inside, connect to the WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player and a music library for your enjoyment.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a fireplace and a desk. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. 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 because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
