Guest Houses in Obernai

As travelers—one American and two Canadians—choosing where to stay abroad often feels like a leap of faith, hoping to find authenticity and the soul of a place. Every so often, that leap is rewarded, and our stay at Le Fenil du Grand Dormeur was that...pure gold. Just a short stroll from the train station, Le Fenil du Grand Dormeur offers two beautifully designed kitchenette suites for up to four guests. While the photos online are accurate, they can’t capture how enchanting the space truly is—immaculate rooms, spacious baths, supremely comfortable beds, fresh linens, and décor that blends elegance with warmth. Created with evident care and love, it’s not just a place to stay, but a place to slow down, savor the moment, and quietly fall in love with Alsace. And then there are the hosts—Nadia and Olivier—the true heart of this magical place. Gracious, attentive, and genuinely kind, they elevate the stay from wonderful to unforgettable. Each morning the lovely Nadia delivers a beautiful basket filled with local delights—homemade jams and juices, cheeses from the region, meats, yogurts, fruit, and fresh breads—accompanied by handwritten notes that feel as if you are opening presents. After a few mornings like that, one seriously contemplates moving to Bischoffsheim and asking if they could stay forever. Breakfast quickly became a cherished culinary daily ritual. Their kindness shone even brighter when flight delays caused us to miss our trains from Paris. Navigating travel hiccups in another language can be stressful, but Olivier’s calm guidance and reassurance made all the difference, reminding us just how deeply cared for we were. We definitely will be travelling to the Alsace region again and there is only one place we will ever consider staying. Our heartfelt thanks to Le Fenil du Grand Dormeur for creating memories we will treasure for a lifetime. This was not just a stay; it was an experience, and one we will never forget.

Everything was excellent. We felt like home!

This was a true bed and breakfast. The hosts were kind and welcoming, and the rooms were very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We booked the family room and a double room for our family of six, and we had plenty of space. Our kids loved the pool. The courtyard was a little slice of paradise.

Beautifully situated with views of open fields filled with walking & biking trails. Our dog was so happy & comfortable here. The hosts were very welcoming. A great value close to so many beautiful Alsatian towns.
