Immersive Glass Tiny House with Panoramic Nature Views near Morvan Regional Natural Park, Côte-d’Or

Description

Your Immersive Glass Cocoon at the Gateway to the Morvan Regional Natural Park

Here, in your immersive glass cocoon, at the gateway to the Morvan Regional Natural Park, the small mountains, meadows, and lakes whisper softly the gentle wilderness of this unique region. Further west, the vineyards and grands crus of Côte-d’Or will enhance your memories with their stories and flavors—from the Hospices de Beaune to Dijon, along the wine route, canal, and castles of the glorious Dukes of Burgundy.

🏡 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!
