Eco-responsible hotel 2 hours from Paris: the nature getaway of the Cabanes de La Réserve

Only two hours from Paris, The Cabanes de La Réserve offer an alternative to the classic hotel: a real nature hotel in cabins, located in a preserved area in the Oise. You get there quickly, you sleep there in peace between ponds and forest, and you limit your carbon footprint thanks to a stay close, eco-designed and focused on happy sobriety.

An eco-responsible nature hotel only 2 hours from Paris

By choosing a stay 1 hour and 15 minutes from Paris, in the Oise department, rather than a long plane trip, you immediately reduce the carbon impact of your vacation or weekend. Les Cabanes de La Réserve are located in Saint-Léger-aux-Bois, on the edge of the Compiègne forest, in the heart of a 35-hectare estate between ponds, clearings and woods. The trip is short, the total change of scenery: you leave the city in the morning, you take possession of your cabin in the afternoon, and the break begins.

This “eco-responsible hotel 2 hours from Paris” takes the form of a set of huts perched in the trees, at the water's edge or on the ground, designed for a stay close to nature without giving up comfort. As a couple, with family or friends, we find the spirit of a hotel: comfortable bed, bathroom, breakfasts included, tailor-made services... but with silence, the view of the ponds and the feeling of being far away, without having traveled thousands of kilometers.

Sleep in huts in the heart of a preserved area

The Cabanes de La Réserve estate is organized around three bodies of water and a vast forest. The huts are distributed to preserve everyone's privacy: some perched in the trees, others at the water's edge, others still on stilts facing the turquoise ponds. From the terrace or the large windows, nature is everywhere: birds, changing light on the water, forest sounds.

The cabins on the ground at the edge of the water offer a warm cocoon for couples. The huts on stilts welcome couples and families in the spirit of a holiday home, with beautiful volumes and terraces opening onto the landscape. The perched huts, on the other hand, plunge into the heart of the canopy, between the clearing and the forest, for a more aerial experience. Some cabins are designed for stays with children, others for escapades as a couple.

Regardless of the category and the view, the idea remains the same: recreate the comfort of a hotel, but in a wooden room surrounded by nature. Electricity, cozy bedding, thoughtful living spaces and comfortable bathrooms allow you to enjoy this eco-responsible stay all year round.

An eco-responsible approach from building to the Nordic bath

At Cabanes de La Réserve, eco-responsible commitment is not limited to communication: it starts with construction. The huts have been designed with sustainable materials, in particular certified wood and, in part, wood recovered from the estate after storms or from diseased trees. This choice reduces the impact of the construction site and creates a natural continuity between the huts and the forest.

Comfort and well-being is also part of this approach. Many cabins are equipped with a heated Nordic bath installed on the terrace, with a water treatment system based on natural processes. We enjoy a moment of relaxation surrounded by nature, under the stars or in front of the pond, without unnecessary overconsumption.

On the estate, the teams work to limit water and energy consumption, to reduce waste and to preserve biodiversity. The huts are deliberately oriented towards simplicity: no wifi, little network, very little superfluous lighting. This “eco-responsible hotel” invites you to slow down, to read, to contemplate, to reconnect to yourself and to others rather than to the screens.

Short circuits and local products to extend the gesture

Eco-responsibility also comes into play on the plate. At the Cabanes de La Réserve, breakfasts, aperitifs and dinners are largely composed of local products, from producers located in a restricted radius around the estate. Artisanal bakery, sustainable family farm, orchards, apiary and jam workshops contribute to these gourmet baskets.

When you wake up, the breakfast basket is placed at the foot of the cabin: it's up to you to assemble it to enjoy it on the terrace or in bed. At the end of the day, you can choose an aperitif basket, a local dinner, raclette or fondue, or even a barbecue basket to prepare on the terrace. This operation in baskets limits travel, avoids overproduction and gives meaning to the stay: you discover the region through its products, while staying in your cabin.

A break for couples, families and businesses

Because it is located 2 hours from Paris, this eco-responsible place is particularly suitable for short stays. Couples come here to experience a romantic weekend in a cabin with a hot tub, without the fatigue of transport. Families choose larger cabins or the Le Refuge house to share a break of three days or more.

Companies also find here an ideal setting for a green seminar. A bright meeting room opening onto the pond makes it possible to organize workshops, presentations or study days, complemented by Nights in cabins, walks, moments of conviviality around the fire or the Nordic bath. All while limiting the kilometers, which reduces the carbon footprint of the event compared to a distant seminar.

By choosing this “eco-responsible hotel 2 hours from Paris”, you are adopting another mode of travel: leave close, stay more, consume better, enjoy more.
