Who this fits

Adventure Ecotourism Romantic Disconnection

Fits if you're a couple, solo travellers or a group of 3-4 friends seeking real disconnection. Astronomy and wildlife buffs feel at home.

Doesn't fit if you need stable wifi, expect 24/7 mobile coverage, travel with infants (the cabin isn't a family resort) or want nightlife. The cabin is built for silence.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.

Does the cabin have an indoor bathroom?

Yes, all our cabins have a hot shower and toilet inside. The kitchen is basic (hob, microwave, fridge) but enough. Some have fireplaces and/or wood stoves.

How many people fit?

2 to 4 depending on the cabin. If more, let's talk: there are options for two neighbouring cabins or cabin + village rural house.

What if it's cloudy for stargazing?

The guide tracks the forecast and proposes alternatives on Saturday night (themed dinner, talk on nocturnal wildlife, sky reading when possible) or reschedules to Sunday if you stay an extra day.

Can I bring my dog?

Depends on the specific cabin. We have pet-friendly options but not all. Ask us when booking.
