One of the bedrooms is downstairs, the other three are all upstairs, as well as the bathroom. There's also a sofa bed for 2 in the lounge, but be aware that the dining table seats 8.

There's even a kind of peninsula in the river from which you can fish, go canoeing and of course go swimming! There are no neighbours, only nature and wildlife.

A 'Grande Randonnée' (hiking trail) passes in the valley and there are several beautiful walks of variable distances along the river and through the surrounding forests. A 30 minutes walk brings you to of the most spectacular falls in the area, hidden deep inside the forest!
