Guests at the Mas Pinet have the choice of staying in original Mongolian yurts or a traditional Native American tipi. (We also invite everyone to pass a night under the naked sky — highly recommended for those city dwellers who always wondered what stars were.)

The best part of the property, though, is the property. A small river runs through our backyard, and if that's not enough to keep you cool, there's a lake within walking distance. Our location in the Cévennes also means plenty of hiking trails; we'd be happy to break out the maps and point you in the right direction.

Other Amenities: Newly remodeled showers and toilets are included in the main building, which also features a small fridge for guests to share; a living room with a projector, board games, and a library. Linens are included, as are the wi-fi, musical instruments (ask if you're interested), painting equipment, and a communal patio with enough dining space for 14 people. Also, just below the patio is a 20'-by-30' yoga platform.

Washer/Dryer: 1 Euro each
