Le Coin des Retrouvailles: 3* gîte for up to 16 people

You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 20-minute drive to Ballons des Vosges Nature Park or the 23-minute drive to Paul Devoille Distillery (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 3767-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player.

This 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
