About this property

Countryside cottage, pets welcome, lush area

Welcome to the Gîte de la Chouette des 1000 Étangs (Owl of the 1000 Ponds Gîte), located in Mélisey, in the heart of the renowned Plateau des 1000 Étangs (Plateau of 1000 Ponds), one of the most beautiful natural areas in Haute-Saône. This destination is ideal for lovers of wide-open spaces, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and unspoiled landscapes. Between forests, ponds, peat bogs, and valleys, discover an authentic region nicknamed "Little Finland" for its unique scenery.

Mélisey is a vibrant Green Resort that appeals to families thanks to its La Praille leisure area, a true haven of relaxation for tourists. There you'll find a seasonal outdoor swimming pool with a 25-meter pool, paddling pool, and water slide, as well as mini-golf, children's playgrounds, pétanque, basketball, and volleyball courts, picnic areas, barbecues, and pleasant walking paths. Just opposite, the equestrian center completes the range of leisure activities for all ages. Chalet-style restaurants are easily accessible on-site.

The gîte is also an excellent base for exploring the treasures of the Vosges Saônoises region: the Notre-Dame-du-Haut Chapel in Ronchamp, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; La Planche des Belles Filles, a popular spot for hikers and cyclists; the village of Faucogney-et-la-Mer; and the many marked trails crisscrossing the Plateau des 1000 Étangs (Plateau of 1000 Ponds). Between nature, heritage, Franche-Comté cuisine, and outdoor activities, everyone will find something to create a stay at their own pace.
