Different experience:)

Cabanas located in trees - you are literally sleeping outside. Different experience, but nice. Be aware that animals may enter, and the river is very close by, so maybe not so good for people who needs complete silence to sleep. Staff very helpful and nice!

Très belle vue sur la nature et la rivière, nous avons pu observer des animaux depuis notre lit. Par contre le logement est entièrement ouvert il faut donc s'attendre à la visite nocturne de grosses souris. Nous avons prévenu le propriétaire pour qui cela était normal. Conseil : ne pas laisser de nourriture dans la chambre ou dans vos sacs : le notre a été rongé !
