Pretty cottage overlooking the Loire Valley and Château d'Artias

You'll find a kayak on site at this pet-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 15-minute drive to Parc Naturel Regional Livradois-Forez or the 20-minute drive to Moulin d'Ancette (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime). If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Chamalières-sur-Loire Station, a short 9-minute walk away.

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the TV, stereo, video games, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with a stovetop, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
