A cabin getaway is a great opportunity to reconnect with nature in comfortable accommodations, just a stone's throw from home or on a trip further afield. Whether you want to enjoy the forest landscapes or float on your cocoon for the night, there is something for everyone.

The following three tips will help you make the most of your dream vacation.


Explore the various cabin options


There are no limits to the horizons you can explore during a stay at Cabanes des Grands Reflets, nestled at the gates of Switzerland, very close to Belfort, in the East of France. Between huts perched in the forest and floating huts gently lulled by the pond, each refuge reveals a different point of view on the forest and the water. Thanks to the large windows, the outside is invited inside: raw wood, clean lines, changing light... And for an even more cocooning break, imagine slipping into your heated Nordic bath, while dusk dresses the Jura hills.

Plan activities inspired by nature


For your green getaway, alternate deep breathing and gentle adventure. Quiet desires? A novel on the terrace, a contemplative walk, a yoga session or a forest bath to (re) connect you to your environment. In need of action? Board a boat on the pond, ride a bike to reach the Vosges foothills or follow a steep path to the region's belvederes. In each gesture, be sure to preserve this living decor : pick up your trash, observe wildlife from a distance — so other travelers will experience the same magic for the long term.

Enjoy local specialties


Wake up your taste buds with a delicious raclette or fondue, accompanied by wines from Jura, craft beers from Belfort or delicate bubbles of Champagne. Our dinner and aperitif baskets, composed of aged cheeses, handmade charcuteries and sourdough bread, are delivered directly to the cabin for a warm evening. For your outings, prepare a Seasonal picnic : fruity Comté, fir honey, blueberry tarts... Bourgogne‑Franche‑Comté can be enjoyed as much as it can be enjoyed. Discover the culinary tourist guide.
