The house

  • Quiet, rural area

On the banks of the river Cure, at the foot of the picturesque Vézelay, we have our authentic holiday home for rent. Vézelay is a medieval pelgrimage village. It has a special, thousand-year-old monastery church, dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Hiking on old trails you walk through the most beautiful nature. The cottages lay in the nature park the Morvan, the heart of Burgundy. Bicycles and canoes are provided.

The sunny garden at the riverside of the Fisherhouse is sixteen metres deep. You have a beautiful view of the hills across with woods and meadows. There is garden furniture and a barbecue. For the tenants there are two canoes available.
In the spacious kitchen is a good place to be. The kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, oven etc. There is also wireless internet. In the summer you walk with your tray with the food through the basement or via the stairs in the back room to the garden at the river.
The 'gigajukebox' in the living room contains thousands of hours of music, and there are also books - all in different genres. In the old vaulted cellar underneath there are basins, where once the fish caught in the river swam around a bit - hence the 'Fishershaus'.
The fisherhouse has a large courtyard where you can park your car. Under a roof there is a picnic table and a swing. Outside the season the house is heated with electric heaters or with cosy wood stoves - enjoy the flames dancing behind the windows.
For the food you can go around the corner. There is a baker, a butcher and a small supermarket. The house breathes an authentic atmosphere: old tiled floors, massive beamed ceilings and pretty details such as fitted wardrobes and an old fireplace.
There are four bedrooms and space for seven people. But you can also stay comfortable for two.

    Fantastisch ruim huis, in een afwisselend mooi gebied. Ook in oktober was er genoeg te doen in deze omgeving. Leuk dat je kunt beschikken over 2 kanos en 2 mountainbike s.

    Een heerlijke week doorgebracht in het prachtige huis aan de snelstromende rivier, een super locatie. De omgeving was fijn om te wandelen, Vezelay op loopafstand via een bergpaadje ipv langs de weg. Het huis was heerlijk groot, zeker voor 2 personen. Contact met de verhuurder/eigenaar verliep snel en prettig. We komen zeker terug, misschien in een ander seizoen.

    We kwamen binnen door het hek en keken ons ogen uit, wat een lief oud echt pittoresk huisje, binnengekomen waren we blij verrast, wat een ruimt, originele details en leuke doorgangen naar verschillende kamers, oude trappetjes die overigens voor mensen met hele kleine kinderen of ouderen slecht ter been wel een uitdaging zijn.
    We hebben genoten van het huisje met z’n houtkachels en een prachtig omgeving met rust en prachtige natuur. Een week lang echt Frankrijk mogen beleven.
    Jammer was dat de bakker in het dorp gesloten is, (alleen stokbrood op beperkte dagen bij het supermarktje) slager was wel elke dag open en erg aardig personeel om ons alle winkels, markten en bezienswaardigheden in de buurt uit te leggen. In vezaley is alles aanwezig en 2 km de berg op ook nog een mooi ritje.
    Maar al met al zeker een reden om nog vaker hier terug te komen.
