Chalet cosy pour ours des bois Private Forest Getaway for Bears

Welcome to our home! My name is Norbert, and with my husband Max, we've imagined this place as a refuge for those who love raw nature, peace and quiet, long naps and cuddles without a watch on their wrist.

Here, we hibernate in winter... and in summer, we bask in the sun, bare-skinned and light-hearted. Always naked. Always for two. Or three if you feel like it 🐾

Just 10 minutes from Argentat-sur-Dordogne, at the gateway to the Cantal region, our chalet is a rustic-chic haven set in a hectare of private landscaped grounds, just for you. No neighbors, no noise. Just the forest, the creaking wood, the singing birds, and your happy sighs.
