The Vosges were a region of France we hadn't visited before, and we weren't disappointed. The chalet is in a great location about midway between the town and the ski station. Gerardmer is a lovely little town with plenty of shops and restaurants, although the walk back is quite steep. The views from the chalet over the lake are astounding and we had some unbelievable sunsets, the chalet itself is fully equipped and tastefully decorated & furnished. Catherine is a lovely and generous host with many suggestions of local things to do and see (we visited Colmar, Freiburg, Munster, La Bresse and more). The local area is great for walking & much more (trail running is challenging with the hills but rewarding). Have already recommended the chalet & the region to far too many friends!

We had a very nice stay at the chalet. The chalet is very clean, cosy and well equipped. And Catherine is a perfect host : providing useful info to prepare for the trip, and very helpful throughout your stay. The chalet is also very well located (walking distance from the lake, close to ski area in winter). Only the walk back from the lake is quite steap :) Lake area is very nice : easy to find restaurant or to go for a drink. There's also a market with artisanal products, 2x per week, also worth visiting. Weather was good 1st week, the 2nd week we had some rain but used the occasion to visit Colmar, Munster, col de la Schlucht,... Nice area if you like hiking. In brief, we really enjoyed our stay !

A perfect property (for us), with a perfect view of the lake. On warm autumn days we could sit on the terrace to eat and relax, on cold or wet autumn days we were warm and comfortable inside. Everything in the chalet was clean and comfortable, there were many homely touches. Gerardmer is easy to get in to and has many fantastic shops, bars and restaurants (you need a good appetite!!!). The two large supermarkets and the twice weekly market make it easy to sample and cook delightful local produce. Walks around the lake (easy) or up in the hills (much more difficult) are all around the area, as well as spectacular drives to towns in the Vosges and Alsace (Munster is well worth a visit) . We had a fantastic time, and Catherine was the perfect host - welcoming, informative, friendly and generous (with her wine, jam, and cakes).

This is really a 5 star chalet in terms of atmosphere and views. The chalet is full of charm very cozy and clean and fully equipped with all you could possibly think of. Dont bring anything; its there! The beds are - like in all French houses and resorts- small. Only the twin bedded room is OK for two tall/bigger persons. Matrasses comfortable. Chalet is close to town and Lake Nice villages in the neighbourhood like Colmar (must see) and Reriremomt. Walk around the lake and enjoy the views and hills around Gerardmer. Catherine (owner) is a great host and always available for any support. I really recommend!

Having spent many years travelling throughout France and the rest of the world, "Sunny Chalet" ranks amongst the top for everything you need for a base to explore the local town and stunning local areas. The warm welcome we received and the immaculate codition of the chalet coupled with the great run down of local amenities and attractions was a very welcome start to our break. As others have mentioned you have everything you need within the chalet to make your stay a very enjoyable one,{just a note to remember that although it has satellite TV for those who are looking for English channels (we were not) they are limited to news channels}. We would not hestiate to recommend this chalet to friends or family and are certainly looking to return shortly

The chalet on “Sunny Hill” is truly a gem that will meet, it not exceed, the expectations of the most demanding vacationers: The chalet is spacious and bright, very comfortable, decorated with great care and attention to details (charming “mountain theme” which perfectly fits the beautiful surroundings) as well as very functional. The chalet itself and everything else provided to make your stay as comfortable as possible (linens, beds and bedding, towels, cushions for patio furniture, etc) meet the highest standards of cleanliness and quality (everything is really spotless and in perfect condition). And with 2 floors of living space, you can easily find peace and privacy while having lots of options to hang out and enjoy time together in the spacious “common spaces”. All bedrooms are large, well furnished, tastefully decorated, and offer ample storage space. Bathrooms are new and in mint condition. The kitchen is cozy and well equipped (new appliances, lots of dishes, glasses, silverware, pots and pans, toaster and more!). Both living room (upstairs) and family room (downstairs) feature flat screen TVs with cable boxes and DVD players, several stereos can be found throughout the chalet, and the Wifi works great. The outdoor space consists of a well manicured backyard with trees, bushes and wonderful flower boxes. The upstairs balcony is spacious (equipped with large table + chairs as well as additional seating to relax while enjoying the view) and offers an incredible panoramic view of Gerardmer lake. The downstairs patio (table + chairs and comfortable lounge chairs) is a quiet heaven, perfect for relaxing while reading a book. Sunny Hill is quiet yet convenient to everything: just a few steps away Gerardmer center (which features a great variety of shops, restaurants, supermarkets etc), ideally located close to the ski slopes, with easy access to great hikes and many other outdoor activities (kayaking, sailing, swimming, fishing, paragliding) in a 5-10 km radius. This review would not be complete without mentioning the chalet’s owner, Madame Imhoff, whose kindness and commitment to making your stay on Sunny Hill absolutely perfect are exceptional and unparalleled. Madame Imhoff is the warmest yet most discreet hostess you could wish for, she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort in anticipating and fulfilling her customers’ every need and the results/services provided are truly remarkable.

The chalet was exactly what our family (6 adults) looking for. It was very comfortable, clean, cozy and sweetly decorated. The chalet is in a great location up on the mountain. The town of Gerardmer is only a short walk away. The view on the lake is really spectacular. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. The chalet is highly recommended for anyone looking for a place to discover the Vosges and to have a cozy and relaxing stay.
