A beautiful retreat in an excellent location......
Review Submitted: November 15, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
This is the third rental we've had in France and by far the most beautiful. From the fabulous gardens and period style of the house, to the amazing location, to the woods that the kids just loved playing in, we really enjoyed our time and didn't want to leave.
A quirky but excellent layout, ten minutes from Disney, really close to Paris, close to the supermarket and a huge shopping mall (which is a bit expensive), and within driving distance of Versailles, we have nothing but good things to say about both the house and Vic and Mieke, who made us feel very welcome. House was clean, tidy, plenty of towels provided, heating and air con too.
We'd love to come back !!

Owner's Response: As with previous reviews, we are pleased again to hear these comments. The house is what you see in the pictures & what we promise in the ad, but we often hear it is better than what we advertise.
As we live 'next door', we are here when you need us; for pratical advice, for directions, for something you forgot to bring... But no worries, we are not going to sit on your doorstep: We understand you are here to enjoy a great time with family or friends.
And everyone seems to have a very good time. The guest books in the house (we are near volume 3 now) will explain why. But please judge for yourself!
Maison de Gardien is open all year and is a great place for all seasons; Central Paris is just 25 minutes away, Disneyland less then 10 minutes. But there are plenty of other exciting places to see near us!
A bientôt!

This undoubtingly is in the most perfect place to visit both Disneyland and Paris.
Disney is less than 10 mins drive, the easiest visit we done out of the thirteen, and Paris was only 25 mins away.
Due to the very easy drive into Paris meant that we could pop there very frequently.
A late night visit to the Eiffel Tower was a highlight.
The accommodation itself was fantastic. It lacked nothing.
The house was wonderful and in the perfect woodland setting (red squirrels and bats included), and with a great swimming pool.
The owners were extremly friendly and helpful.

What we really thought
Review Submitted: July 28, 2009

This is a fantastic base for a holiday to France, the villa is set in impressive gardens, the pool is large and our 3 children had a great time swimming from first thing in the morning until last thing at night, we also spent quite a bit of time on the chess board and badmington area. The owners are really lovely people who do not intrude on your holiday at all but do offer great advise on the local area. The villa has all you require for a self catering holiday, dont expect modern/state of the art as this is more farmhouse/gite, however we were very happy with this. Disney and Val de Europe are only a 10-15min drive and the roads were relatively quiet. Overall this was a fantastic holiday and I will definatley return to this villa when going back to France.

Second time just as good as the first!

Well as the title says, this was our second year staying at Maison de Gardien, and we were definitely glad we decided to go back. This house is clean and tidy with everything you need and the bed in the master bedroom is seriously comfy! I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit Disney (10 mintues drive) or Paris but wanting the convenience of 'a home'. Val d'Europe (5 minute drive) is good for shopping with a large Auchan hypermarket. There are as you can imagine plenty of restaurants nearby including an Indian and a Chinese, both of which do take-aways, which we found rather enjoyable!

The Perfect Disney Hideaway

This place was everything we wanted and more. It's close and convenient for both Disneyland and Paris itself ( 10mins car to Disneyland and 25mins Paris Centre) yet it's quiet and peaceful and a great place to relax away from it all. A car is definitely needed. The house itself has everything you need and is spotless. The owners, Mieke and Vic, were great fun and very welcoming (along with their Dutch friends!). The pool was heated and a big hit with the kids.
We have very fond memories of this place and would love to return some day. Highly recommended!!!

We stayed here in July. The property was plenty big enough for 5 of us. A couple in our 30's,3 yr old daughter and my parents.
Beautiful property set in woodland. The house was clean with everything you could want. Very close to Val d'Europe and Disney and 30 mins from Paris by train.
The heated outdoor pool was great to come back to after a busy day shopping in Paris. I would recommend mosquito repellent as the house in the but they weren't a huge problem.
Owners are very prompt at answering any queries via email and were helpful whilst we were there.
I would definitely recommend this holiday rental and would go back again.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this property to other travellers.
It is in a lovely quiet location, down a private drive in the grounds of the owner's house.
The house itself is lovely, it was clean with everything you could possibly need and there are plenty of dvds, videos, cds and books to keep you occupied should it be needed. The lounge area and kitchen are on the ground floor, the main bedroom and large bathroom on the first floor with the second bedroom being on the second floor, that I must admit was a slight worry for us, we have a 2 year old and although stair gates are provided, we found they did not fit particularly well and therefore ended up erecting the cot on the landing of the first floor for our own peace of mind.
Disney and Val d'Europe with a large hypermarket are only a ten minute drive away and Paris about thirty minutes by train.
Although we didn't have much to do with the owners (who speak very good English) when we did require advice or assistance they were really helpful and very welcoming.
One more thing I will mention is, as the house is the woods, take plenty of mosquito repellent, I hear the skin so soft dry oil spray from avon works a treat!
