Welcome to our small guest house, La Mouette Rose. It's in a calm location with a vast garden next to a forest in the village Lauterbourg in Northern Alsace, France. It's just 5 min by foot to the heart of the village with bakeries, restaurants, a grocery store and small shops, or 10 min to the beach & lake. It's only 2 min by car from Germany, and a perfect location for a rest on the way South or North when travelling across Europe. The house is about 70 sqm. with two separate bedrooms and a toilet upstairs, and a kitchen + living room with a bed sofa on the ground floor, along with a bathroom. Please note that the staircase is rather steep, and not easy to use for people with corresponding disabilities. You have free wifi-access to high-speed internet, and have access to a vast private garden for relaxing, a BBQ or playing games.

The location is very calm, with a rather large private property next to the forest. It's 2 min by foot from an outdoor gym and track for running or walking. The track can also take you within 10 minutes to the lake and beach, with plenty of water and beach activities in the Summer (aqua park & jump, canoes, sailing, electro-surf). In the other direction, you quickly get to the heart of the village, with bakeries, small shops and restaurants. We have another house next to the Guest House that we also rent out, and if you are a larger group you may rent both houses together (in total beds for about 16 people). The parking and some parts of the garden are shared between the two houses. Lauterbourg is a small town (2,200 people), in Northern Alsace, 2 min by car from the border to Germany, and a great base for hiking and biking excursions in the Pamina Region (the border region France-Germany), with views of the Black Forest in Germany and the Vosges mountains in France. The Route des Vins (Alsatian Vineyard Route) is also close by, as are parts of the Maginot-Line (the French underground defence line used during World War II) that are well worth a visit. If you like golf, the closest courses are in Soufflenheim, Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe-Scheibenhard (all three beautiful and within 20 min by car). Strasbourg is a 35 min drive to the South, and Karlsruhe in Germany 20 min by car to the East.
