Jane Austen Lake Retreat

Step into a scene straight from a classic novel at this vintage-style holiday home in Dugny-sur-Meuse, where the spirit of Jane Eyre and Jane Austen seems to linger in the air. Surrounded by lush greenery, grey moors, and views of the vast lake, this spacious retreat is perfect for large families with children.

Just 100 m away, enjoy horse riding at Le Cheval Dunois, or stroll to nearby restaurants and supermarkets for fine dining and local provisions. Lac Vert Plage à Doulcon (0.6 km) offers camping under the stars, while the Joset Alain monument adds a touch of cultural intrigue.

The covered terrace on the first floor, adjacent to the kitchen, is ideal for barbecue evenings, and the lounge set by the water—complete with a small bar—invites you to unwind with an aperitif and good conversation.

With Luxembourg Airport just 107 km away, this unclassified gem offers a peaceful, storybook escape in the heart of Lorraine.
This holiday home is one of the Belvilla Award winners in: 2021,2022,2023

Séjour en Meuse

Hébergement atypique,region agréable.Propreté du gîte superficielle,odeur très désagréable d'égout,qui gâche un peu le séjour.

Odeurs d’égouts et propreté à revoir!

Fortes odeurs d’égouts dans la cuisine/salle à manger et salon (Insoutenable par moments!) Ampoule de la hotte non fonctionnelle, nous avons dû la changer. Robinet de l’évier de la cuisine entartré, l’eau ne coulait presque plus. Nous avons dû le détartrer nous mêmes pour pouvoir l’utiliser. Toiles d’araignées dans les chambres, les salles de bain, une poubelle de salle de bain pas vidée, cheveux sur les lits… Vraiment dommage car le gîte est bien situé et aurait pu être super agréable s’il avait été correctement nettoyé et sans odeurs d’égouts.

Es war soweit ok...

Der schönste Raum war der große Bereich Küche/Essen/Wohnen. Die Schlafzimmer könnten etwas schöner eingerichtet werden. Bei den Sanitärenanlagen muss defenitiv nachgebessert werden. Handbrausen, Perlatoren und Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig!

Tolles Haus für eine Gruppenreise

Das Haus ist super für einen Kurztripp mit 3-4 Paaren. Im Ort selbst ist wenig los, es gibt aber einen Bäcker und einen kleinen Supermarkt. Als Basis für die Erkundung der Umgebung ist das Haus optimal geeignet.

Lovely holiday home

Our stay at this beautiful holiday home was great! The terasse had a nice view and was great for relaxing. All rooms were really pretty and the beds were comfy. The house really is something special! The dishwasher was broken, but the host immediately sent someone to fix it, so there was no problem at all. The kitchen was very well equipped and we could really enjoy our time!

gute Basis für die Gegend

die Lage ist gut für die Besuche der Gegend. Einkaufen, Bäcker und Restaurants zu Fuß zu erreichen. Direkt am Wasser. Etwas verwinkelt, da zwei Häuser.

2 huse!!!

Dejlig indrettet feriehus med lækker terasse og køkken-/opholdsrum ud til floden. Der burde i beskrivelsen stå, at der faktisk er tale om 2 huse - et for- og et baghus, hvor de fleste værelser er i forhuset. Således skal f.eks. Børn placeres et andet sted end de voksne når de stadig er i opholdsrummet. Det er en stor fejl, at det ikke står i beskrivelsen..
