A luxurious nature experience in the heart of the Northern Vosges ?
Nestled in the Northern Vosges Nature Park, a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve, the Gîte de l’Écureuil is located in an exceptionally protected and pristine natural landscape. Dense forests, gentle hills, and wide vistas create an atmosphere of tranquility and natural elegance. Directly from the holiday home, hiking trails lead through centuries-old forests, past impressive sandstone cliffs, quiet valleys, and untouched landscapes.
The surroundings of Sturzelbronn are characterized by a rich flora and fauna and invite moments of slowing down. Here you enjoy pure air, absolute silence, and authentic nature, accompanied by birdsong and the gentle rustling of the trees. This exceptional natural setting blends harmoniously with the high-quality comfort of the gîte: a spacious garden, a private pool area, and a whirlpool nestled in greenery create an exclusive feel-good experience in the midst of nature.
The Gîte de l’Écureuil stands for luxury in harmony with nature – a place where time does not matter and relaxation, privacy, and natural beauty take center stage.

Beautiful cozy house in the green Lorraine
Sabine and Didier Behr are very friendly and helpful landlords who live next to the holiday home. The house has 3 beautiful bedrooms, a large kitchen with everything you need. The living room with a large TV is elegantly furnished. Everything is very lovingly detailed. We spent a weekend at Ecureuil with four people and felt very comfortable. You can start beautiful hikes directly from the house, for example to the Mühlenbachweiher or to the Bremendelle restaurant. Bitche, Meisenthal, and Bärental are worth visiting. We especially recommend the restaurant "Au Relais des Bois". Excellent food.
We will gladly come back.

Holiday home The Squirrel's Cottage
We spent an extended weekend in Le gite de l'écureuil. We were warmly welcomed by the landlords, who live right next door. The house combines wonderfully French chic with modern elements. Idyllically located in the green Sturzelbronn, it is equipped with everything you need... and more. :) The surroundings invite you to hike, ride, relax, or take a city trip now and then. We can only recommend this sweet little cottage!!!!
