Overview
In the heart of rural Burgundy, where Charolais cattle graze in nearby fields, this charming 18th-century manor house has stunning views over the surrounding hills and woods of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan.
Originally built as a hunting lodge, it was modified in the early twentieth century to become a summer residence for the long-standing owners in Dijon. The most recent owners have restored this historical residence with great sensitivity, respecting the wonderful handicraft across the manoir, furnishing the home with period pieces and also featuring calming pieces of masters and contemporary art. What they have created is a characterful and graceful place from which to discover this stunning part of Burgundy.
With seven first-floor bedrooms, up to 12 guests can enjoy Manoir des Chasseurs; there is ample space across the vast ground floor with a choice of two living areas, a dining room and fully-equipped kitchen with modern features. The grand salon offers a relaxing place to unwind by the open-fire whilst the gentleman’s salon is a characterful room perfect for long evenings chatting, playing cards and enjoying excellent local wine. There’s also a romantic library with a fireplace and upstairs a sweet little living room with a sofa looking over the beautiful views from the house.
Outside you are greeted with an inviting swimming pool alongside a laid-back al-fresco dining area, perfect for long lunches with loved ones. Younger members of the family will love the rustic old farmhouse where you will find table-tennis, a trampoline and some other outdoor games.
Here you are in the heart of the rural Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, a paradise for hikers and cyclists with trails crossing woodlands, hills, streams and hidden villages as well water-based activities such as rafting, canoeing, sailing and swimming along the park’s rivers and lakes. Despite this remote location, it’s only half-an-hour from the fascinating Roman town of Autun where you can discover its historical treasures or pick up some fine local produce at one of the weekly markets.
The spectacular Burgundy wine region is within easy reach from beautiful Beaune to historic Dijon. Follow the wine road, Route des Grands Crus, and discover little villages such as Pommard and Meursault alongside idyllic vineyards where you can sample wines from the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune regions.
This region is perfect for those who enjoy fine wines, amazing regional food and spectacular scenery; Manoir des Chasseurs is a unique and characterful home from which to experience this authentic part of rural Burgundy.

This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!
This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!

Wonderful
The Manoir is wonderful - luxurious and characterful throughout. We were extremely well looked after by Ana and her team. Everything was beautifully clean and generously provided, which made us feel very welcome indeed. We think and talk about the house often and really hope to return soon.

Feels like home
Amazing stay with great views! Everything is right and the house feels like a “home”. All facilities are accurate and the house is great to stay with a large company. The house is beautifully located in a green/quiet area. That means you have to drive everywhere. There is a bakery that is open every day in a 10-minute drive, and the first larger town of Autun with supermarkets is a 30-minute drive away. But be prepared for that and you have a fantastic stay! Communication with Anna is also easy and swift. Definitely recommended!

Fantastic, chic, comfortable
What a fantastic week myself and friends have had at Manoir Des Chasseurs! Very well maintained & lovely house with beautifully curated & quality interior. Loved the master bedroom with gorgeously styled en-suite. Pool very clean & a nice size, adjacent to this is a lovely area to sit and eat al fresco. We enjoyed the barn with table tennis, also the tennis courts which were not advertised as they aren’t in great condition but we made use of them and were pleasantly surprised by the inclusion. The Welcome hamper was brilliant. House very clean, bedding is sumptuous and ample supplies of towels available. Overall a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return to this property. Thank you very much.

Great stay at a great house
We rented this house for a week during the summer holidays. The house is just amazing - a perfect blend of modern bathrooms combined with authentic feel in the rest of the house.
The pool was fantastic as well!
The house was extremely clean and easy to move into, and the person who received us was extremely helpful to get us set up.
I would highly recommend this for a tranquil and lovely stay. -
We had a marvellous time!
Many thanks to Ana and her team for this perfect holiday in the summer! We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at the house and the premises with delicious meals from the cooking team, fun in the pool and endless walks in the woods and fields. A truly marvellous time!

Wonderful trip
Our Easter holiday at Manoir des Chasseurs was wonderful. We enjoyed the cosy relaxed atmosphere of the beautiful house, walks in the wood around and interesting trips to Autun, Vezelay and the wine region near Beaune. Very well recommended!

5*
Einmal eingetaucht in die Atmosphere des alten Manoir des Chasseurs, fühlt sich die erholungsuchende Seele wie in eine andere Welt versetzt. Von fast allen Räumen des Hauses schweift der Blick weit über Wiesen und von Hecken umsäumte Weiden, auf denen weiße Charolais-Herden friedlich grasen. Die grünen Hügel und bewaldeten Höhen des Morvan lassen erahnen, wie in früheren Zeiten die Jagdgesellschaften hier Hof hielten. Die schlichte und doch elegante Ausstattung des Hauses zeugt vom ausgezeichneten Geschmack der Eigentümer dieses paradiesischen Ortes. Gleichzeitig haben wir auf Komfort nicht verzichten müssen. Besonders die gemütliche und gut ausgestattete Küche, von der ein direkter Weg zum Pool führt, hat es uns angetan. Die großzügigen schönen Bäder seien nur der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnt. Selten findet man einen solch friedlichen Ort, wo bereits bei der Ankunft die Zeit etwas langsamer als sonst zu verstreichen scheint....

Favourite holiday!
Thank you for our favorite holidays! We loved staying at Manoir des Chasseurs with that amazing view, looking over the beautiful French landscape! The house is nicely furnished like a classic country side mansion but with beautiful modern bath and kitchen. We also very much liked the old tennis court and the new swimming pool from which one can overlook the valley and the neighbor's horse...all in all we`ll definitely come back and we can only recommend this place.

Great stay during both summer and winter
What a perfect quaint place to calm down and to have a unique family reunion experience! So far, we came twice. In the winter 2017, we enjoyed the serenity and the heavenly peace of the place that much, that we decided to come back in early summer 2018 with an even intergenerational part of the family!
In the cold season we mostly enjoyed the lovely atmosphere of the house with it's thoughtful renovated sitting rooms which invite you have a rest in front of a old fire place, to read a book in one of those beautiful furnished lounges or to have extended meals with long intensive family discussions at the old oak table in the dining room. The large kitchen was a great communal space, perfectly equipped with excellent cooking facilities. Once or twice a day we went for walks in the lovely surroundings, enjoyed a trip to Autun or Dijon or became sportive with biking or playing tennis.
In summer we mostly spent relaxing days outside with extended walks and young and old met around the beautiful swimming pool, a very pretty place to enjoy the views! The kids particularly enjoyed the trampoline in the barn and us parents, we were happy to see them so excited in this shadowy, hidden place.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and as beautiful as the rest of the house with stunning views from the first floor.
Leaving the place the children talked of fairytale holidays and we were all convinced that we took home some everlasting memories of this beautiful place.
We would like to thank Wim and Birthe for putting so much heart in renovating the property into such a comfortable and personal family manor. We felt transported back in time and we will definitely come back!
