Traditional Log Cabin on quiet Residential Commune overlooking Lake Dathee

A traditional style cabin but modern and comfortable on the inside. There are two shower rooms to help you and the family get out early in the morning to enjoy your day. An absolute boon to families staying. If you have young children this property may not be suitable as children will sleep on the first floor so this will depend on ages of your children. There is NO room for a cot in the master bedroom on the ground floor. If you have an older child sleeping upstairs as well then it may not be a problem. A well fitted kitchen offers a full size dishwasher, washing machine, 5 ring gas hob, a microwave, small refrigerator with freezer box, toaster, coffee machine, filter coffee and kettle . There is a gas BBQ on the terrace. The master bedroom is on the ground floor with a king size bed and a good size en suite toilet and shower room. The lounge/diner has two sofas, a directors chair, medium size flat screen TV and a dining table that can be extended as required with 5 dining chairs. The upstairs has two mezzanine bedrooms, one with 2 large single beds, and one with one large single bed. Hanging rails for clothing provided. There is a further good size fully equipped toilet and shower room on this floor. Outside is a large decked terrace with large table and chairs overlooking Lake Dathee and the golf course. The communal heated swimming pool is covered/uncovered depending on weather. POOL OPENS MID MAY TO SEPTEMBER. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. PLEASE NOTE THE POOL IS A COMMUNAL POOL AND THEREFORE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUES/CLOSURES DURING YOUR STAY. This location is especially suited to families /groups who enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, golf, fishing, cycling, horse riding, sailing, kayaking. There is an 18 hole golf course situated at the edge of the lake with a club house. It is a very challenging course and a favourite for serious and amateur golfers. The lake is renowned for it's large carp fishing. Peaceful location but only a 10 minute drive to Vire town center with all amenities, supermarkets, cinema, kids play areas, restaurants, shops and a large market on Fridays. It's a great location for local attractions and to venture further afield. There are many family theme parks within an hours drive and many of the War Museums etc can be reached within 1 hour 15 minutes. The city of Caen is about 50 minutes and has many attractions and shopping areas. Well worth a visit. Ouistreham next to the ferry port has stunning beaches and a very quaint town with lots of history. PLEASE NOTE The property does not have WIFI but the location has a good 4G signal for your phones so we never felt the need to add to this.
During your stay at this chalet, you'll be close to Vire Museum. You'll find features like an indoor pool, a gym, and an arcade/game room.
  • Take a swim in the indoor pool
  • Onsite recreation includes a gym
  • 5 mi (8.1 km) from Vire Museum and 10.3 mi (16.6 km) from Le Village Enchante

Delightful cabin in a beautiful setting.
We had a most enjoyable holiday at the cabin, which although compact, was very well equipped and comfortable. We had bicycles with us and just a warning, the hill up to the lodge is very steep! Also a suggestion, WI FI would have been an advantage. Overall a most pleasurable stay.

Our idyllic retreat August 2020
Myself,my husband and our 13 year old son were over the moon when we found this lovely property in this beautiful, rural location in Normandy. Set in a residential holiday park above Lake Dathee. This property ticket all the boxes . Spacious, clean , homely,all amenities were catered for . True to the description on the website. My husband and our son are golf addicts and were warmly welcomed at Lake Dathee golf club by locals and the expat community. A par 71 which is the trickiest test of golf the pair of them have ever played . Truly manicured greens and lush well kepted fairways , welcoming club house , this is an ideal way to spend a whole day !! For the standard of the course , very reasonable prices €99 for the pair of them , with the hire of clubs and trolleys. The property is within easy distance of Vire the local town, and about 45 minutes to granville. We had plans and tickets to visit Christian dior childhood house in granville and to visit the 24 hour race museum at Le Mans which is only 1.5 hours drive away . Unfortunately our stay was cut short because of the covid pandemic. It was announced on Thursday 13th August 2020 that people holidaying in France had to be back in England by 4am Saturday 15th August 2020 or face 14 quarantine. Unfortunately because of work commitments,and not being able to quarantine at home we had no choice but to book an early train and leave 6 days early 😪😪 gutted If this pandemic ever clears up we will definitely be returning.

Everything the description said and more. One to come back to.
Myself, my wife, our daughter (17) and her boyfriend enjoyed a fantastic 2 week holiday here in July/August. The chalet is spacious, clean and well equipped throughout with separate bathrooms with showers for the ground floor/master bedroom and the upstairs bedrooms which was a bonus. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck which gets the sun all afternoon and evening while the balcony upstairs gave “the kids” somewhere to escape to. With all the chalets being privately owned the park itself was very quiet and peaceful. The large heated pool was fantastic – the roof was open or closed depending on the weather so even on the odd couple of days it rained we still used it. It never got too busy and we had it to ourselves a few times. There is also a fitness room with a bike, rowing machine, table tennis and a foosball table. The crazy golf takes some practice (putters and balls are in the chalet). While there is no oven the gas hob, microwave, slow cooker and BBQ on the deck were more than sufficient to keep us well fed when we were not eating out (The Hotel de France in Vire has a good French menu at fixed prices). The Utile supermarket (like a Tesco Express) is less than 10 minutes away for all the basics including fresh bread without going into town. The bigger supermarkets, including Lidl, are on the north side of Vire but again no real distance. The town centre has plenty of free parking and a decent range of shops, bars and restaurants while larger stores and a bowling alley are out with the supermarkets. To the west, the sandy beaches south of Granville (great for fresh seafood) are about an hour away and were not at all crowded. Caen (great shopping), Bayeux (tapestry) and the Normandy landing beaches are about the same drive time. Mont Saint Michel is worth a visit but either go very early or late as it’s a tourist hotspot. The mountain of tourist information provided in the chalet ensures there is something for everyone. This is definitely on our “must return one day” list. Debbie, the owner, was always helpful and very responsive and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Wonderful peaceful setting, fabulous accomodation with excellent facilities
We had such a lovely short stay in this peaceful log cabin. The log cabin itself was much larger than expected and was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The facilities on the site were superb. We used the pool and play areas every day. There is a fantastic golf club and lake right on your doorstep and the log cabin is centrally placed for exploring all the attractions of the area. The balcony and veranda were the perfect places to relax, take in the views and listen to the sounds of birdsong with a glass of wine. We left feeling very relaxed and would definitely like to return one day.

Week-end sportif
Nous avons passé 5 jours placés sous le signe du sport : vélos, piscine, promenade et même porter les poubelles, c'était du sport!!! Nous avons visité le site " Le Mont Saint-Michel", nous avons adoré! Nous aurions pu prendre les navettes mais nous avons décidé de tout faire à pied. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un long week-end très ensoleillé. Seul petit bémol, la chaudière qui nous a fait des farces... 😉 Merci à Debbie pous son aide à distance et à Andy sur place. Le site est somptueux, parfait pour une remise en forme et se détendre. Fred et Nico.

Genial estancia para caminar, descansar y disfrutar de Normandia
Pasamos una semana en familia, la casa tiene todas la comodidades y es realmente confortable, los exteriores para cenar invitan al descanso., nos sentimos como en casa. La piscina también permitió buenos momentos de relax, siempre limpia y en un ambiente muy tranquilo, como todo el entorno. Permite hacer senderismo con varias propuestas cerca o a una hora en coche (bosques, costa, etc), el lago de la dathee también es fabuloso para ir a andar, hacer kayak, correr. Toda la zona invita al descanso, es muy tranquilo y de gran belleza. Gracias especialmente a Debbie que nos facilitó la comunicación en todo momento. Esperemos volver a repetir y lo recomendamos, fue una semana realmente genial que no olvidaremos.

Bon séjour, je recommande
Séjour agréable, dans une belle région. Le chalet était très confortable et très bien équipé (lave linge, lave vaisselle, TV, lits confortables, draps et serviettes de bain fournis). Le seul bémol, la propreté du chalet : pas mal de toiles d'araignées et de poussière, heureusement que nous n'étions pas allergique!! Site agréable avec jeux pour enfants, piscine (malheureusement non chauffée lors de notre séjour, la pompe à chaleur étant en panne, mais nous nous sommes quand même baignés, car la piscine est couverte), terrain de golf, pétanque, tennis de table. Peut-être préciser qu'il faut pas mal prendre la voiture pour faire les visites. Dans l'ensemble, bon séjour, je recommande. Hôte agréable.

superbe domaine
Nous avons trouvé un beau chalet au calme dans la verdure loin de tout bruit avec une belle vue. Chalet confortable le plus chaque chambre est équipée d'une salle de bain et wc privatif. Une loueuse répondant à chaque demande dans la demi heure qui suivait. Nous n'avons pas pu utiliser la piscine à cause d'une mauvaise météo dommage mais les ballade près du lac et toutes les visites des points importants de la Normandie ont pu être réalisé. Une mention spéciale au restaurant la Badiane à Vire (Parfait)

Maison atypique dans un cadre tranquille
Nous avons énormément apprécié la gentillesse et la disponibilité de Debbie qui a toujours été là lorsque nous avions des questions (avant d'entrer dans la location et pendant notre séjour). Dans le chalet tout était prévu pour nous simplifier les choses (deux classeurs avec manuels, modes d'emplois...) Le chalet est bien achalandé, il y a même des livres sur les vins et les fromages français (en anglais) Nous avons été moins emballé par le chalet en lui-même (un peu acrobatique) et surtout assez humide. La météo ayant été particulièrement affreuse, nous avons mis le chauffage le matin...La région est agréable mais il n'y a pas grand chose à faire, hormis si on est un randonneur passionné...Du coup le budget essence a un peu explosé :-) A oublier avec des ados qui n'aiment pas marcher, qui veulent voir la mer ou se baigner au moins dans une piscine chaude car elle était particulièrement froide à cause de la météo! Bref, nous avons apprécié mais nous ne reviendrons pas, surtout à cause de la région, jolie mais sans intérêt particulier.

Aufenthalt im Juli 2019
Axel S. We, a family with two children aged 17 and 15, spent two wonderful relaxing weeks in this quiet and well-kept holiday compound in July 2019. The holiday home was found well equipped and in a good condition. Having two separate bathrooms was very favourable and timesaving each morning. Within 10 minutes by car different restaurants, shops, supermarkets etc. are available in the center of Vire. We made various trips to the coast in the west with some lovely long beaches and the touristic highlights Mont-Saint-Michel and the old town of Granville as well as in the north with the landing beaches, always knowing that after one hour by car the pool within the holiday compound is waiting. The Lac de la Dathée with a 6 kilometre circuit is perfect for jogging especially in the morning when the nature is waking up. Having had nice weather conditions during most of our time we enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine whilst viewing the sundown which was each time really a perfect daily closing.
