About this house rental
Welcome to Maris House!
The Maris House is a charming house of character nestled in the heart of the Ariège and the Cathar Pyrenees.
With a rural setting and an exceptional panoramic view of the Pyrenees and the castle of Montsegur, this house with a unique style is composed of 4 bedrooms and offers living spaces with beautiful noble materials.
Located close to the tourist village of Roquefixade nestled on the mountainside (300m from the heart of the village), it is the ideal starting point for hikes and walks that will take you on the paths of the Cathar 367 trail.
You can also visit the castle of Roquefixade dating from the XIème century which overlooks the village directly starting from the path in front of the house. Facing south, you will enjoy optimal sunshine and a spectacular sunset on the Pyrenean reliefs.
The house of more than 280 m² consists of three double bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs and a triple bedroom with its bathroom on the ground floor. You can enjoy during your stay a TV room and a large living room as well as a functional kitchen and its dining room. A 180° and 3000m2 outdoor terrace will welcome your moments of relaxation and disconnection. You can stay up to 9 people.
Less than 30 km from the ski slopes and bathing areas the location of the house offers many opportunities for outdoor activities both in winter and summer. Located in the middle of Cathar country the house is ideally placed to visit the various castles of the region (Foix at 20min, Lac de Montbel 30min, Mont d'Olmes 40min ski resort, Cité de Carcassonne at 50min, Pas de la Case 1h15, Toulouse Blagnac 1h15 and Spain at 1h30).

The position and views from the house are incredible - an array of peaks and Montsegur in the distance. Communication was good and the house was clean with lots of space for everyone. Good quality furnishings in the rooms. Kitchen is a bit tired but that’s no big deal. We were there for a week during a heatwave and the house gets very hot indeed due to its beautifully exposed position - we had fans but no ac and you must keep windows and shutters closed at night to keep out the bugs and light, so it was rather uncomfortable. Some amazing walks in the area and fun activities such as canyoning and accrobranche, though the only place nearby to swim is Lac Montbel, which was soupy and muddy and not at all pleasant. Best for holidays during the spring or autumn I suspect, when you can really enjoy hiking in the mountains. Nearest town of Foix has an interesting castle, and there are supermarkets etc there and in Lavelanet.

What a treat it was to stay in this home. The house is beautiful and shows pride of ownership. You can easily imagine that this house has been passed down generation to generation. This is wonderful place to stay with your family. The owners rightfully ask you to be careful with the hardwood floors and once you see how beautiful they are you will understand why. This is the perfect place to go for a quite family getaway. If you are from the states it like staying in a fariytale. There are plenty of amazing things to do within a short drive. Castles, caves, villages, hiking and more.

Fantastic view in an extraordinary house! Nice rooms and enough privacy. A little walking road behind the house where every now and then walkers/hikers pass, but for us not disturbing. The view from the livingroom is simply fantastic. For a pieceful and relaxing stay we will absolutely come back again!

Spacious and beautifully positioned faux castle on the outskirts of a tiny village. A great place to eat, drink and read. Within easy driving distance of Carcassonne, Toulouse and numerous caves and spas. Highly recommended.
