Le Gîte de Pipala ***

Close to cycling, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. With convenient onsite parking, you'll be ready to make the 31-minute drive to Ballons des Vosges Nature Park or the 12-minute drive to Route des Cretes.

Once you get back to this 2153-sq-ft vacation home, you can enjoy your surroundings with the garden and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the cable/satellite TV.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room and a dining area. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, free toiletries, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
