You have all the usual comforts, but the idea of an alternative habitat is also to become aware of its impact on the environment! As a result, a few rules are required during your stay: 1) Except phones and laptops, electrical appliances other than those provided on site should not be connected at the risk of damaging the solar system. It is therefore not possible to use, for example, your hair dryer, a straightening iron or a raclette machine 2) The risk of fire being very high in nature, it is strictly forbidden to smoke in and around the shelter, but also to light any flame (no barbecue) 3) Sewage is filtered by plants: you are asked to only use the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dish soap) 4) No pets allowed in the shelter Guest access . 🔑 CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT ✓ Check-in: 6 PM ✓ Check-out: Before 11:30 AM ✓ Lockbox available in case of late arrival ✓ You have free space to park your vehicle, near the refuge Other things to note . 📋 IMPORTANT TO NOTE TOO • The shelter is located on the property of your host (who lives and/or works on site). Your privacy is preserved, but you may run into each other during the stay • Animals may be present on site or nearby (dogs, chickens, etc.) • The shelter is not suitable for people with reduced mobility. Access is via a staircase with a few steps (not on one level) • There is no wifi at the shelter 🌿 HOMNEST, WHAT IS IT?
