Rapport qualité prix décevant.
La porte d’entrée du chalet est très compliquée à ouvrir et à fermer. Pas d’aspirateur ni de fer à repasser. Les assises du canapé en face de la tv sont très inconfortables (planche de bois). Notre matelas devait dater aussi puisqu’il formait des creux. Le mini frigo de la cuisine n’est pas adapté au nombre de personnes pouvait recevoir le chalet. La vaisselle n’était pas propre (les casseroles suspendues étaient très poussiéreuses), il a fallu nettoyer les choses avant de les utiliser.
Nous aurions apprécié que le salon de jardin soit prêt à notre arrivée et que nous n’ayons a tout découvrir et nettoyer par nous même.
La douche du rez de chaussée est minuscule.
Points positifs : la vue magnifique, la grande terrasse, le départ vers de nombreuses balades.

Superbe !
Séjour merveilleux dans ce hameau perdu au milieu de la vallée. Vue sur les montagnes, soleil, terrasse, barbecue (oui oui en février) et feu de cheminée. à 20 minutes des pistes. Vraiment idéal pour les amoureux de la nature et du calme. Idéal pour 2 familles.

Super chalet avec vue !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce chalet situé dans un petit hameau hors des sentiers battus (véhicule indispensable) avec une magnifique vue sur les gorges du Fier. Ce véritable chalet de famille est très bien conçu et complètement équipé, conforme au descriptif.
À noter cependant que sa rampe d'accès mériterait d'être mieux entretenue (allée gravillonnée avec d'importants nids de poule) - SUV ou 4X4 recommandé...

Séjour d'une semaine en Juillet

Très bon séjour
Chalet très approprié à notre petit groupe familial..Seul l'accès doit représenter un réel soucis depuis Manigod quand il y a réellement de la neige.!
La vue est extraordinairement belle!

Top séjour
Le chalet de l’homme de la Lune est perdu en pleine montagne... idéal pour se ressourcer le soir après une bonne journée de ski.

The chalet is very nice with an amazing view
We really enjoyed our stay and we recommand this rental
The most:
The chalet is very comfortable, well equipped. The bed linen are comfortable and warm. The view is amazing. The chalet is very appropriated for family with its 3 bedrooms at the first floor. The check in and then check out are very easy, convenient and quick. It's easy to join Clive if any problem.
The cons:
The chalet is isolated and the access can be difficult in case of snow (can be a most !).
The mattresses of the double beds are not comfortable as well as the quilted bench to watch TV. In the apartment, there were huge fuel smell and the fridge is really too noisy.
The dishes were not clean and the chimney uncleaned.

Très bon séjour
Nous avons séjourné pendant la semaine de Noël, le chalet tout en bois est très beau, les propriétaires avaient décoré le chalet pour cette occasion, merci encore ! Nous étions 10 pers et tout le monde à passé de bonnes vacances. La neige était au rendez-vous, la vue du chalet et le paysage sont vraiment magnifiques.

Chalet idéalement placé, agréable et fonctionnel
Le chalet est idéalement placé au fond d'une vallée magnifique. La vue est superbe. Il est calme et fonctionnel. Les propriétaires étaient toujours disponibles par SMS pour la moindre question. Des vacances superbes avec de très belles randonnées aux alentours.

The most beautiful view in the Alps .
This chalet is amazing . It is brilliantly set up for 10 people in good sized , well decorated bedrooms , with a large communal area /sitting room . There are 3 bathrooms , which means also 3 toilets - small but important detail - but keeps life harmonious .
But the unbelievable thing is the view - not only from the awesome deck area - but from any balcony that you stand on . It is heartbreakingly beautiful , very few houses , changes with the sun through the day and at sunset , amazing star gazing at night .
There are great walks right from the chalet ( buy a trail map anywhere ) for all abilities . Walk up the valley and buy the fresh Reblochon from the farm ' sous L'Aigulille ' . Boulangerie 7 mins drive in the morning .
Clive and Kim were very helpful and the booking process was easy and reliable .
The chalet is clean , TV and WiFi work well ( kept us up to date with the Olympics ). Kitchen well stocked , plenty of fridge space .
30 mins to La Clusaz . 40 mins to swimming at Talloires on Lake Annecy .
I cant reccommend this lovely Chalet enough .

De superbes vacances entre amis
Nous revenons d'une semaine de vacances à Comburce. Nous étions dix amis (5 couples) et nous avons profité avec bonheur du chalet "L'homme de la lune".
Malgré le manque de neige, nous ne nous sommes pas ennuyé : jolies randonnées, visite d'Annecy, balnéo à Aix les bains, et jeux de société autours de la grande table du chalet! Nous y avons d'ailleurs fêté le réveillon du 31 janvier (pas de problème de niveau sonore pour la musique, les voisins ne sont pas des voisins de palier!).
Le chalet est très agréable, on s'y sent comme chez soi. Il dispose de toutes les commodités nécessaires, et, surtout, est situé au cœur de la belle vallée de Manigod : la vue y est magnifique, et c'est un bonheur de se lever tous les matins face à ce paysage.
L'espace est peut-être un peu limite pour dix adultes, mais le propriétaire nous avait prévenu en amont, et nous nous en sommes parfaitement accommodé.
M. et Mrs Payne ont toujours été très attentifs et agréables par email ! Merci.
Nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Peacefull and quiet, Perfect !
If you have a large family and you wish to share your stay with other friends or family, then look no further, the chalet is cleverly thought out so that the separate apartment caters for those who want to have some time out from the party.
There will be few better views to wake up to than a fall of new snow covering the vista which awaits you at Chalet Homme Du La Lunne.
Its perfectly equiped to cater for your every need, just close enough to the important bread shop in nearby Manigod for the early risers to collect bread for the day, just far enough from Annecy and the motorway for a speedy arrival to the high mountains.
Once fed,a short 10 mins.drive to La Croix Fry gives access to the large and family friendly La Clusaz ski area, for braver skiers there is always La Balme providing some great “off piste" and spectacular views or conveniently stay at la Croix Fry and enjoy lunch at the edge of the piste while the beginers get started in ski school.
We loved the warmth and friendliness of this very traditional French resort and have already booked for February 2015.
