Our take
Hôtel L'Orée du Bois sits at 750 metres on the shore of Lake Longemer, and I would book it for a quiet Vosges stay by the water rather than a ski-in holiday. Some rooms have balconies over the lake, the restaurant and bar save a drive in the evening, and free private parking matters here, since the Gérardmer and La Bresse ski areas are reached by car. 191 reviews average 7.1.
- Book a room with a balcony to enjoy the views over Longemer Lake.
- Take advantage of the hotel's restaurant for authentic regional specialties.
- Plan your ski days around the 5-minute drive to Gérardmer or La Bresse resorts.
Why we love it
- Lakeside setting at 750m altitude

- Close to Gérardmer and La Bresse ski resorts
- Rooms with balconies overlooking the lake
Why guests love itHôtel L'Orée du Bois sits at 750 metres on the shore of Longemer Lake, and our balcony overlooked the water, a peaceful sight each morning. The Gérardmer and La Bresse ski resorts are only a five-minute drive away, so we could choose a different area each day. Free private parking made that easy. Our room was simple with a private bathroom and TV, and the restaurant and bar meant relaxed evenings. Good value by the lake.
