Nancy's husband, Robert, came to see us soon after we settled in and answered all our questions. He also brought us fresh baking of his own most days. Unlike in most such rentals, the kitchen was well stocked with staples, fresh eggs, milk, butter, coffee, and tea, so it was easy for us to cater for ourselves. The house is very comfortable and was spotless when we arrived. The grounds are magnificent. There is a huge private yard where our grandson could play (using the sports equipment that our hosts provided). The surrounding forest provides a wonderful backdrop, and there are a number of interesting walks and hikes that you can take -- as Robert explained -- from the house itself. It's a nice, walkable distance to the seaside, and a short car ride to a lake with good swimming. If you don't feel like going anywhere, you can settle down comfortably on one of the two decks, out in the yard, or in the house itself. It's a wonderful place to relax. For most of our time there, there were five people (in three generations) and it suited us all well. I would highly recommend Le give d'etape to anyone.
