Serene Off-Grid Nature Tiny Home with Deer-Rut Views Near the Vercors | Gigors-et-Lozeron, France

Description

Between the Drôme and the Vercors mountains, your tiny home is set in the heart of nature, in the small commune of Gigors-et-Lozeron. Come enjoy a sublime environment with beautiful hikes starting right from the accommodation, and—depending on the season and a bit of luck—the chance to hear or even observe the magnificent red deer rut from the tiny home! You can also explore the surroundings, all the way to Die and its famous clairette, or the extraordinary perched syncline of Saoû!

Kitchen area: refrigerator, gas cooktop, sink, utensils, dishes, and condiments
Dining area with a high table and stools
Bathroom: sink, walk-in shower, and ecological dry toilets
Soaps, towels, and bed linens provided
Heating via a gas stove
Ceiling fan for cooling (no air-conditioning)
Outdoor furniture (except during winter): table, chairs & lounge chairs (no barbecue)
Drinking water via a 5-liter fountain: tap water comes from a tank and is not drinkable; it is for showering and washing dishes only
Cleaning included
Free parking

Regarding meals, at an extra cost and with a reservation at least 48 hours before your stay (then subject to availability after that), your host Sandrine offers breakfast delivered to your tiny home(€10 per person).

GOOD TO KNOW:
The tiny home is set in nature and is fully self-sufficient: electricity is produced by solar panels, the kitchen and heating run on gas, and the running water is stored in a tank. You have all the usual comforts, but the idea of an alternative habitat is also to become aware of one’s environmental impact!
Therefore, a few rules apply during your stay:
Except for phones and laptops, do not plug in any electrical devices other than those provided on-site, as this could damage the solar system. You cannot use, for example, a hair dryer, straightener, or raclette machine.
Because the fire risk is very high in nature, it is strictly forbidden to smoke inside or around the area, and to light any flame (no barbecue).
Wastewater is filtered by plants: you are asked to use only the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dish soap).
Pets are not allowed in the tiny home.

ACCESS
Arrival: from 5:00 PM
Departure: before 10:00 AM
A key box is available in case of late arrival.

NOTES
The tiny home is located on Sandrine’s farm and vineyard, where she works with her family. You may see her—and her animals—during your stay.

There is no Wi-Fi in the accommodation.
The entrance to the tiny home is not ground level; there is a small staircase of 3 steps. The accommodation is not suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM).

At this place, we immerse you in a world of extraordinary adventures, close to local communities and their people. Our concept? We create beautiful Eco-lodges and install them for free with kind hosts who want to welcome travelers into the heart of their regions, passions, and nearby curiosities. Our ambition is to install 1,000 refuges with 1,000 fantastic hosts all around the world (Antarctica included). Welcome to your host Sandrine’s property!

ADDITIONAL RULES
Here is the internal house manual applicable during your stay:
1 - Do not run the gas stove heater for more than 2 consecutive hours, and turn it off at night by closing the gas bottle valve fully. The gas bottle for the cooktop must also be turned off after each use.
2 - It is forbidden to handle the gas bottles (except for turning the valve to close them at night) and forbidden to disconnect the detectors.
3 - Smell of gas: Danger! If a gas odor persists, open the windows, light no flame, and exit the place. Contact your hosts immediately.
4 - As the fire risk is extremely high in nature, it is strictly forbidden to smoke inside or around the tiny home. Lighting any flame (barbecue, candles, etc.) is also forbidden.
5 - Except for laptops, phones, and devices provided on-site, do not plug in any other electrical device, or you may run out of electricity. Do not tamper with electrical systems.
6 - Ensure the indoor temperature always stays above 10°C to avoid freeze risk.
7 - Do not drink tap water or shower water (non-potable). Your hosts provide a drinking water fountain upon arrival. You may request more if needed.
8 - If no water comes from the taps, close them all. Inform your hosts immediately, even late at night, to prevent pump damage. If you cannot reach them, do not use the taps until the situation is resolved.

This internal regulation must be respected and engages your personal responsibility during the stay. We decline all responsibility in case of an incident resulting from non-compliance with this regulation.
