We're in constant contact with the team's very friendly Alexia. We met in Paris in the offices of Coucoo Cabanes (in Saint-Ouen) to enrich this text.
Some useful information: the estate is open from early March to late November. Prices start at around €190 per night for 2 people, and breakfast is always included. Prices drop if you stay 2 nights or more, and are cheaper on weekdays.
The keys to the cabins are handed over on site from 4pm to 7:30pm. You'll receive instructions and can then walk to your cabin. If necessary, the team (always friendly and available) can drop off your luggage with a cart. You can also arrive on your own at a time of your choosing, without passing anyone else.
Planning a surprise? Almost anything is possible. Don't hesitate to make your request at the time of booking: floral decoration, cake in the tree house, petal trail or the services of a photographer, for example. If you wish to keep this a secret until the hut is discovered, please specify this during the booking process. The team is used to it, and will play along mischievously.
The estate is truly beautiful... We love the color of the water in the ponds and the dreamlike atmosphere at sunset. It's very relaxing. It's not unusual to spot a deer in the distance or a fox trying to hide. Fishing is available on site. Here's a map of the estate to help you find your way around.
There are 26 cabins in all, and 3 types of cabin: Observatory, Robinson and Canadian. Some cabins are located in the middle of the trees, while others are right on the edge of the ponds.
All the waterfront cabins (our on-site video) are great, of course, but the ones in the forest are cheaper, more intimate and higher up. It all depends on your budget and what you prefer.
Of the 26 cabins :
- 23 cabins offer private Nordic baths
- 16 cabins on the water's edge
- 10 cabins in the forest
- 7 cabins offer a kitchen
- 2 cabins offer a fascinating view of the sunset ("Attrape-Rêve" and "Douce Nuit")
- 1 cabin has a bath ("Au Fil de L'eau")
Depending on the cabin you choose, you'll enjoy the following facilities: private Nordic bath at 40°C, bedroom with French bed from Tediber, bed linen, sitting area, water, electricity, heating, small fully-equipped kitchen, observation window, bathroom with indoor or outdoor shower, tea area, coffee machine and private terrace with magnificent views of the forest or ponds.
The cabins are arranged in such a way as to guarantee total privacy. A distance of at least 80 meters separates the cabins. We're particularly fond of the Halte Sauvage Canadian cabin, which has its own private pond and barbecue area (with marshmallow option!), but honestly, all the cabins are well worth a visit.
In the morning, a breakfast basket is delivered to the foot of your cabin. It's included in your reservation. On the menu: your favorite hot drink, pastries, fresh bread, homemade apple juice, farm yogurt, jam and butter. Small trays are available for service in bed, facing nature.
Many extras can be booked in advance. Some examples: brunch basket with late check-out (60€ for 2 people), numerous dinner baskets, star dinner delivered directly to the cabin, barbecue basket, raclette, Savoyard fondue and romantic package (60€ for 2 people) with dried petals from Instant Fleuri, small bottle of champagne, chocolate fondue and massage oil.
Near reception, there are several boats (our on-site video) on the water's edge, just waiting for you. You can borrow the one of your choice and take a romantic stroll on the water. And why not improvise an aperitif on the water? Just don't forget to ask for your lifejacket at reception.
The on-site team works as closely as possible with local produce. Fresh produce is sourced from local producers, artisans and farms. There's a small farm on the estate with a few pigs and goats that you can feed, but please ask permission at reception first.
A few final tips:
1. Download your films, series and music before coming, as surfing the Internet can be difficult.
2. If you want a hairdryer in your cabin, please specify this when you check in.
3. Take a portable Bluetooth speaker if you want to listen to some music.
4. A few books or board games are a must if you really want to switch off.
5. If it's raining, Aigle boots and umbrellas are available at reception.
6. If possible, don't bring a large suitcase, but a small one or a backpack.
7. Bring a few candles with you to create a pleasant atmosphere in the evening.
Les Cabanes de la Réserve is located in the Hauts de France region, 1h15 north of Paris, France. Here you'll discover 128,000 hectares of exceptional natural and cultural heritage, with forests and gardens, castles, picturesque villages, churches and cathedrals.
Don't miss the Clairière de l'Armistice, just a 10-minute drive away: this was the site of the carriage in which the November 11, 1918 armistice between France, its allies and Germany was signed, followed by the June 22, 1940 armistice between France and the Third Reich. A highly symbolic place! A fascinating museum. Another idea for an activity: discover the magnificent Château de Pierrefonds.

We just recommend that you take slippers with you, so you can enjoy your terrace to the full, pick up your baskets and access the Nordic bath. In summer, it's also a good idea to take mosquito repellent.
Certain areas are specially equipped for fishermen.
