"Epicéa": unusual log cabin in the heart of Auvergne nature

Housed in the hollow of a valley, the gîte "Epicéa" des Fustes en Pays du Mézenc is a log chalet with green roof entirely built by Johane in the purest Scandinavian style.

A log is a dwelling built in barrels (tree trunks), cut and adjusted by hand by the fustier, so that each one perfectly follows the irregular shapes of the one preceding it, thus forming a solid and waterproof wall. After building his own log house, Johane embarked on the creation of 2 lodgings (Epicéa in 2012 and Bétula in 2017) in order to welcome holidaymakers and introduce them to the region where he grew up. Respect for nature and sustainable development are the watchwords of this neat house, a real cocoon of well-being in the country of Mézenc.

With its partially sheltered wooden terrace (17 m²) facing south, it will be the ideal refuge for your holidays in the great outdoors (4000 m² of wooded land available).

Entirely laid out on one level, the entire log house revolves around a living room with kitchen area and lounge area with wood stove (wood provided free of charge) equipped with a convertible that can accommodate 2 additional people. Each bedroom can accommodate 2 people (1 bedroom with 1 160x200 bed, 1 bedroom with 2 90x200 beds). The bathroom with toilet and walk-in shower completes this warm layout.

Loan of snowshoes and mountain bikes / hybrid bikes.

Baby equipment on request: bed, high chair, bathtub.
