This 30 m² gîte with covered terrace is built with natural materials as close as possible to the original. The local wood was sawn in the commune, the insulation is wood wool made in Epinal and Germany, the kitchen is from the Vosges, and the windows are made of Lorraine oak. Underfloor heating is on a dry hemp and wood fiber slab. Walls are rendered in lime, natural earth and natural paint, and a photovoltaic panel provides additional power on the roof. All furniture, accessories and tiles are second-hand. Comforters are new and locally made. Roof window in the mezzanine. The ladder to the mezzanine is removed for a 2-person rental. Wastewater is recycled in phytodepuration basins (reeds) and we are careful about the products we use in our house and the gîte. No wifi. Fresh drinking water!
Nature and surroundings
The gîte is located on the edge of the forest in one of the 80 hamlets of the commune. There are no direct neighbors. Several hiking trails pass in front of the gîte to discover the countryside, waterfalls and historic buildings. The gîte is on the Route des Chalots, with the village center 6 km away by car and 2.5 km on foot. We are located in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. Our village, Le Val d'Ajol, is famous for its DeBuyer Groupe kitchenware factory and for its local produce: Andouille and Gandoyau du Val d'Ajol, smoked meats, munsters and farmhouse cheeses, local beers, bluets, cherries and Kirsch.Nearby are three remarkable towns: Fougerolles, the land of cherries, Plombières-les-Bains, a picturesque imperial town with its famous ice cream, and Remiremont, the town of the Chanoinesses.

Nature, peace & environment:The cottage is simply and beautifully furnished and offers a high quality of stay: reading on the sofa in between looking through the large window into the beech forest, cooking extensively, sleeping long, long walks directly behind the house over the plateau or in the area of the "Mille etangs", we had a very relaxing time.
Das Häuschen ist schlicht und sehr schön eingerichtet und bietet eine hohe Aufenthaltsqualität:
Lesend auf dem Sofa zwischendurch den Blick durchs grosse Fenster in den Buchenwald schweifen lassen, ausgiebig kochen, lange schlafen, ausgedehnte Spaziergänge direkt hinter dem Haus über die Hochebene oder im Gebiet der "Mille etangs", wir hatten eine sehr erholsame Zeit.This text is automatically translated. -
Lothar January 16, 2026 General rating:Highly recommended for nature lovers.
Für Naturliebhaber sehr zu empfehlen.
Nature, peace & environment:Le Cabanon is the perfect place to spend some quality time in absolute tranquillity. The only sound is the song of the forest - Le Chant des Forets. The cabin has a very well-equipped kitchen. The view extends over the river valley (Combeaute) and the village of Le Val-d' Ajol to the hills opposite. To the east, you can watch the sunrise every morning. The accommodation has been lovingly designed by the owner. He is available to answer any questions and provide friendly assistance. A private forest path leads to the small village, which has several bakeries and shops. On Sundays there is a very nice market with regional products next to the church.
Das Le Cabanon ist hervorragend geeignet in absoluter Ruhe eine gute Zeit zu verbringen. An Geräuchen gibt es nur den Gesang des Waldes - Le Chant des Forets. Die Hütte hat eine sehr gut ausgestattete Küche. Die Aussicht reicht über das Flusstal (Combeaute) und den Ort Le Val-d' Ajol auf die gegenüber liegenden Hügel. Dort im Osten beobachtet man jeden Morgen den Sonnenaufgang. Die Unterkunft wurde mit viel Liebe vom Eigentümer gestaltet. Er steht für alle Fragen und Hilfeleistungen freundlich zur Verfügung. Ein privater Waldweg führt in den kleinen Ort der über mehrere Bäckereien und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten verfügt. Sonntags gibt es einen sehr schönen Markt mit regionalen Produkten neben der Kirche.

Mylène October 4, 2025 General rating:Lovely house, everything, nice and quiet, good bed. Only thing that would have made it even better for us: a curtain for the large window for when it is dark.
Heerlijk huis, alles aanwezig, lekker stil, goed bed. Enige dat het voor ons nóg beter had gemaakt: een gordijn voor het grote raam voor als het donker is.
Nature, peace & environment:Very nice cottages, good atmosphere, good insulation, pleasant layout and especially the view is great. Vincent is very friendly.
Heel fijn huisjes, goede sfeer, goede isolatie, prettige indeling en vooral het uitzicht is geweldig.
Vincent is heel vriendelijk.This text is automatically translated.
