Comfortable Normandy Cottage with 120 acre forest

We have just returned from our week long stay at La Muche. The house is located in the middle of the woods, resulting in a very quiet, relaxing stay. The area is great for exploring. Omaha beach is only 1 1/2 hours away, so we visited there. Caen is one hour, Honfleur 40 minutes, so lots of things to see and do. From the house you can wander in the woods and explore for hours on end. There is a supermarket within a 10 minute drive, you could walk it in one hour if you wanted. Communication with the owner and also with Annie was great. Annie was very reachable via Whatsapp and could answer all the questions. We were able to let ourselves in the house upon arrival and met Annie close after. The house has all the neccesities and more! The large fireplace is a winner, we spend all our evenings surrounding the fire. Wood is provided, in our case it was charged up front when booking with VRBO. The kitchen is old but modern at the same time, with a perfect oven and dishwasher. There is plenty of space surrounding the house, with ample outside seating opportunities, and the view is great. Arrival is on small dirt roads, but well maintained. The shower is in the basement, there are 2 toilets on the groundlevel and upstairs. Also a bath with loose showerhead. Three bedrooms, with one large master, one small master and one single. As always in France, the beds are a little bit short for us, but that is just a small issue. All in all, great place, would visit absolutely again!

Finding your way to La Muche can be challenging but it is part of the adventure. When you arrive you will realise the effort was worthwhile. It’s a beautiful property in a brilliant location. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property.

Picturesque, tranquil, dreamy! I loved it all! Cosy fireplace, pretty garden, compete privacy. Remote.

The beautiful house is on a very unique location, in the middle of a forest, with lots of privacy and a big garden. There are many things to see and do in the area, like canoeing, walking, swimming in the lake close by, and visit nice towns and markets.

We enjoyed our stay! It was central to everything that we wanted to visit. The small villages were nice to visit and see.

If you want Paris, go to Paris. If you like peace and quiet, and some history, then go to this gite. Very relaxing, not far at all from anywhere. The land of Joan of Arc and Edith Piaf among many. Try and stay off the autoroutes and see some local architecture. Fabulous area. Madame Jouveaux was a delight and very French of course. Would we go back ? - bien sur.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay , a lovely clean house in an amazing setting , would definitely like to book again , our boys loved exploring the forest and climbing trees a real adventure .

La Mûche, that's the name of the property, is an irristible combination of get away from it all and home away from home. We love the isolation and the silence, as well as the confort of the place.

This is truly a fairytale woodcutter's cottage deep in the Bois du Val Accard. It is well equipped, furnished in an antique style and comfortable in all respects. It is very peaceful and relaxing with only the sound of the birds (loads of owls), the heehaw of a neighbouring donkey, bark of a neighbouring dog or the odd aircraft passing overhead. It is somewhat remotely located literally in the middle of the woods along a 1Km track off the tarmac road and 1Km from the nearest neighbour. The immediate vicinity is a farming community with widespread village - very pleasant walking country. Only room for improvement might be the directions - it was a bit of a struggle finding it first time around even using google maps and other SatNav - access along Rue du Val Accard is barred/impossible and the actual access road is not immediately obvious - we needed help and would not have liked to have arrived after dark. Otherwise a memorable vacation allowing us day trips to Bayeux, Caen, Pointe du Hoc, St.Valery en Caux, Rouen and often to Pont Audemer for shopping.

We really loved this beautiful property in its remote woodland setting. Everything was clean and well organised - including the arrival and departure. We truly relaxed here and hope to return soon. Thank you!
