🏡 SPACE Nestled in a lush green setting in Saulieu, on the property of your hosts Marie and Benjamin, your Tiny House is immersed in nature under the soothing shade of beautiful trees and just steps away from the most remarkable places in Côte-d’Or. During the day, explore the timeless wonders of this centuries-old terroir, marked by traditional farming. In the evening, enjoy a breathtaking view of the stars, a perfect moment to reconnect with your partner, friends, or family. Please note: The Tiny House is set in a beautiful natural environment; however, a road (Route de Lyon) passes about 100 meters away. Traffic can be busy at certain hours but quiets down around 7 PM. We prefer to be transparent about this. If you’re seeking absolute silence, we recommend our other destinations. But if you want to be in the heart of Côte-d’Or’s highlights while surrounded by greenery, you’re in the right place! 🛋️ Your Tiny House (14 m²) Includes: Sleeping area: Queen-size bed (160x200 cm) for 2 adults + a convertible bench (extra bed for 1 adult) Kitchenette: refrigerator, gas stove, sink, utensils, dishes, and condiments Living/dining area: table and chairs Bathroom: sink, Italian-style shower, and eco-friendly dry toilet Soaps, towels, and bed linen provided Heated by a pellet stove Ceiling fan for cooling (no air conditioning) Outdoor furniture (except in winter): table, chairs, hammocks Potable water via a 5L fountain (tap water is from a tank and should not be consumed; it’s for showering and washing dishes) Cleaning included Free parking 🍷 Optional Dining (upon reservation at least 48 hours in advance): Your host Marie can deliver: Breakfast – €12 per person Aperitif platter – €35–40 with wine Gourmet baskets with local Morvan products: terrine, biscuits, wine, etc. ⚡ GOOD TO KNOW The Tiny House is completely self-sufficient: Solar panels produce electricity Gas stove for cooking Pellet stove for heating Water stored in a tank You’ll have all the usual comforts, but this eco-friendly home encourages awareness of your consumption.

Do not handle the gas bottles (except to close the main valve at night). Do not disconnect any detectors. If you smell gas: Danger! Open windows, avoid flames, exit immediately, and contact your hosts. Due to fire risk, smoking is strictly forbidden inside the cabin and on surrounding grounds. Only use phones, laptops, and appliances provided—do not plug in others, or you risk losing power. Keep indoor temperature above 10°C to prevent freezing. Do not drink tap water; use the potable water fountain provided. Ask your hosts for more if needed. If no water comes from the taps, close them all and inform your hosts immediately (even at night). Do not use the system until resolved. This house manual must be respected. You are personally responsible for any breach. We are not liable for any incidents resulting from failure to follow these rules.
