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 apply during your stay: 1) Except for phones and laptops, do not plug in any electrical devices other than those provided onsite, as this may damage the solar system. It is therefore not possible to use, for example, your hairdryer, a straightening iron or a raclette set 2) As the risk of fire is very high in the heart of nature, it is strictly forbidden to smoke in the refuge and in the surrounding area, as well as to light any flame (no barbecue) 3) Wastewater is filtered by plants: you are asked to use only the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dishwashing liquid) 4) No pets allowed in the shelter Guest access . 🔑 CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT ✓ Check-in: from 4 PM (or from 2 PM for an additional fee) ✓ Check-out by 10am ✓ Lockbox available in case of late arrival ✓ You have a free space to park your vehicle, close to the shelter Other things to note . 📋 ALSO NOTE • The shelter is located on the property of your host, who lives and/or works on site. So you may cross paths during your stay • Possible presence of animals on site (dogs, chickens, etc.) • The shelter is not suitable for people with reduced mobility (there are a few steps for access) • There is no Wi-Fi in the shelter 🌿 WHAT IS HOMNEST?
