About this property

Stunning, 4 ⭐️ relaxing, peaceful, private pool, fishing lake sleeps 18 Dordogne

La Maison du Lac**** gites awarded 4 Stars by French tourist board, are found in the beautiful region of the Dordogne in the south west of France, in the peaceful hamlet of Les Lièvres 🐇. The property is surrounded by local wine producers and well placed between St Emillion and Bordeaux and Bergerac.
Les Maisons du Lac consists of two beautiful properties:
The Villa is a large, spacious and characterful, 5 bedroom house. All beds have fresh new linen. There are 3 bathrooms, also with lovely new towels, one is ensuite and there are two other spacious bath/ shower rooms which have been newly renovated and in keeping with the house have stunning exposed beams and lots of character. There is a large, fully equipped family kitchen dinning area with a mezzanine seating area. There is a calm sitting room with comfy sofas and flat screen Tv and plenty of space if you need to work or study as there is a separate office with two desks. Outside is a 9m x 5m salt water pool with a picturesque terrace all overlooking the property’s lake, where guests are welcome to fish 🎣. There is a lovely dinning area, well placed between the two kitchens, with seating for up to 18 people which overlooks the garden. The undercover dinning area overlooking the lake has a BBQ. The Villa has being beautifully renovated and is available again this summer 2023.
The Gite has four double bedrooms, two with beautiful ensuite, there is also a family bathroom fully equipped with bath and shower. On the ground floor the large kitchen,dinning area and lounge, which is perfect for family entertaining, leads out onto a calm, private terrace and private secure courtyard, with dinning al fresco. From the terrace you can access the 9m x 5m saltwater pool, further terrace and the gardens, woods and private lake. La Maison du Lac is an ideal property for families and couples alike. It has been beautifully renovated and is fully equipped and furnished to a high standard. The house is spacious, light, peaceful and surrounded by countryside and set in a petit hamlet. The lake is full of a variety of fish and guests are welcome to fish (Please note: the lake is unfenced). The lake and gardens lead into the woods and children’s play area. As the area is so calm and unspoilt we are treated to an amazing array of wildlife. Each year, with the sun, comes our kingfisher pair to breed as do many other birds. Herons, golden oriole, woodpeckers, birds of prey, nightingales and owls are regular visitors too. La Maison du Lac has a chef, who will prepare food for you on the premises, excellent for special occasions or just a wonderful night in! He has several menu options available, and is reasonably priced.

La Maison du Lac is on the ‘route de vin’ which offers guests the chance to tour vin yards and sample local wines! However, if wine is not your thing you will find a market every day of the week offering a wonderful choice of fresh foods, from fruits and herbs to fresh seafood and locally produced olives! For a more active holiday there is also kayaking on the Dordogne and Gardonne rivers with several courses to suit all levels, golf at Saint Meard golf course, cycling, horse-riding and tree fun parks to name but a few! If you love sitting on the beach then the Lac de Gurson at only 5minutes by car is the place to be. It has swimming with lifeguard, a beautiful large sandy beach set among forests, restaurants and bars, children’s play area, horse riding and much more.

Situated in the south west of France and with a wonderful micro climate, this part of the Dordogne is known as the Perigord purple! There are four areas each given a colour, the purple represents the grapes grown all over the region. Although known the world over for its stunning wines the Dordogne is also famous for spectacular chateaux with amazing gardens, churches with famous organs, and restaurants with delicious food. The nearest seaside beaches are at Arcahon, 140 kms and worth a day trip, with the famous Dune de Pylar , beautiful sandy beach, designer shops and exquisite seafood restaurants. If you don’t want to travel so far there are many beach lakes all over the region. You can also find several waterparks and other fun days out without having to look far. The historic towns of Bergerac and Perigueux and famous vineyards of St Emilion are all within a 35 minutes’ drive or if you want to venture further, the exciting city of Bordeaux with its beautiful architecture and fabulous shops is 50 minutes’ drive. Dordogne valley to the east has many fascinating medieval villages and castles dating back from the 100 year war. Prehistoric caves and attractions.

Great locations and amenities for a mixed group of friends
We loved staying at La Maison, the two residences were perfect for our group of friends. There was plenty of space and different areas to chill out and we used all of them. The pool was a great way to cool down each afternoon. The rooms are spacious with all the basics provided. We were also welcomed with a box of goodies and milk in the fridge. If you plan to use the BBQ, you do need to buy coal and fire starters. We arranged the chef to cook 3 course meals for us, which went really well and the food was delicious. The location is near many vineyards and there are restaurants nearby along with local markets and villages to explore. It was the perfect mix for us to enjoy two weeks of food, wine and exploring the area.

Fabulous!!!
Our family of four have just spent a wonderful two weeks in Tracey and Rob’s gite and are wishing we were still there. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped with lovely furniture and décor. The outside space is amazing, beautiful suntrap of a courtyard, sparkling pool with comfortable sun loungers and then a lake full of fish beyond. What more could you want? The local area is beautiful with so many places to visit and things to do. We enjoyed lovely trips out to Bordeaux, Bergerac, to the night markets of Villefrance de Lonchat and Pizou, wine tasting in beautiful St Emillion, canoeing and paddle boarding at Lac de Gurson and a top notch lunch at Bucket’s Auberge Inn (which is within reasonable biking distance). Our 11 and 9 year olds also loved the high ropes and zip lines of Accrozarbres. Many hours were spent relaxing round the amazing swimming pool in the glorious sunshine. Our daughters loved staying at the gite - as well as the swimming pool, the table tennis table and swings were put to good use and when the sun became too much, the gite’s wifi was sufficient to power their gaming/Netflix requirements. Tracey and Rob were excellent hosts, we spent a lovely evening with them sampling Tracey’s homemade plum gin! They are very knowledgeable of the area, very friendly and happy to help whenever needed (thanks for the jump starts Rob!) yet you’d hardly know they lived next door. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday at La Maison du Lac and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again next time we’re in the area – which we definitely will be, as there’s still lots of places we ran out of time to visit and the weather is amazing!

Family holibobs Left on Jun 2, 2019 for a stay in May 2019 We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday all 7 of us plus baby Maxy and our Bennydog. Great communication from Tracey all the way through and very helpful with extra questions etc. A lovely welcome and informative. Beautiful location very quiet, perfect for all of us, fishing, golf local markets, vineyards much loved. House provides everything you need very well equipped. Couple of extras would be bbq tools, foil in kitchen, tables by pool for drinks, more storage in bedrooms for clothes, containers in kitchen to put leftovers in. These are not at all criticisms just helpful points we thought of as a family. Tracey and Rob thankyou so much for being such lovely hosts and showing us round your beautiful place......we will be back i’m certain...xx👍🏾❤️👶🏽🐶🥂🍷

Idylic
This was our first time staying in a gite and it will be hard to find another as good as this one. Amazing property with fantastic pool and lake. The house has everything you could ask for. Spacious, spotless and immaculately presented. The weather was great. so we spent a lot of time lounging around the pool or fishing the lake. We caught carp almost every day. Evenings were spent cooking on the barbeque and eating in the private courtyard. The local markets are great and the nearest intermarche or Lidl are only 10 minutes drive away. Tracy and Rob are a lovely couple and were always available to give advice when needed, but were not at all intrusive. All in all, a fantastic destination and property, which made this one of our best holidays in France. Thanks

Amazing!
Wow. Simply, wow! The photos do not do this wonderful house justice. Two weeks of peace, tranquility and a complete break from routine were wonderful. Sitting by the lake, watching the fish jump, the coypu wander and listening to the sound of nothing was just what the doctor ordered. That, plus swimming in the best pool we have ever rented, enjoying the beautiful weather and the sunshine on the terrace and making the most of the French markets! The house is well equipped with a high standard of furnishing and attention to detail. Tracey and Rob have made a beautiful home from home for travellers. Clean, really roomy and tastefully decorated, the 6 of us felt comfortable and had room to spread ourselves around the site - making full use of the shady outdoor dining room/area. Tracey offered a warm welcome and was always on hand with advise when needed. Rob enjoyed showing off his workshop to an avid fan, and Casper and Todd did their usual thing - living the wagging life of Riley! We had a wonderful evening celebrating a special occasion, and highly recommend Dmitri's chef services should you want to have an excellent and well cooked meal at the house. We really enjoyed the steak! We enjoyed days out to Bergerac, St Foy la Grande (and its excellent market - really the best in the area), and the beautiful village of Aubeterre which we thoroughly recommend. The underground church is awe inspiring and the shops and restaurants are charming - great ice cream too! Although we enjoyed our trip to St Emillion - the little train and the chateaux wine tasting are excellent - we were disappointed at the commmercialisation of the town since our last visit. Cannot recommend La Maison du Lac enough. A perfect holiday destination. Would bge a beautiful place to watch the seasons change in - who knows - we might be back!

What a great place!
Our family group of 5 adults stayed here for two weeks in late June/early July. The satellite box allowed us to watch as much of the World Cup as we could face. Beautiful weather with a few thunderstorms thrown in. We loved the idyllic setting, looking down to the lake from the pool. Great wildlife around the garden and lake. Tried fishing with limited luck but good fun. Tracey and Rob are lovely hosts, providing a welcome pack including a red and a white wine from the local vineyard which gave us a super start to the holiday. We can highly recommend the in-house chef who coped with the thunderstorm induced power-cut brilliantly. Excellent candlelit dinner, with no washing up! (Power came back soon) The gite had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the surrounding area has enough restaurants, vineyards, entertainment and places of interest to fill any number of holidays. In short , we loved it! David and Caroline

Idyllische Lage
Drei Familien bzw. Paare mit zwei Teenagern - wir verbrachten zwei entspannte Wochen im Haus am See. Gerne hielten wir uns auf dem Innenhof auf und genossen den schönen Pool und die Terrasse. Wunderbare Spaziergänge sind direkt vom Haus aus möglich, lange und kurze. Ausflüge in die Umgebung sind mit einiger Fahrtzeit verbunden, lohnen sich aber. Die Tipps von Tracy waren dabei sehr hilfreich! Das Haus, Schlafzimmer und Bäder sind praktisch aufgeteilt und so haben die Räumlichkeiten für uns gut funktioniert. Es war in der zweiten Woche sehr heiß aber zum Glück kühlte es nachts gut ab. Die Ausrichtung des Hauses war bezüglich der Himmelsrichtungen im Bezug auf die Sonneneinstrahlung perfekt abgestimmt. Auch am Pool war, besonders in den heißen Nachmittagsstunden, immer genug Schatten. Am letzten Abend haben wir uns dann auch den empfohlenen Koch gegönnt und gut, frisch und regional gegessen!
