Why a checklist is essential for a cabin stay


Appetizer basket

Spending a few days in a cabin is a guaranteed change of scenery. But to fully enjoy this unique natural experience, proper preparation is essential. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, here's the ideal checklist to ensure you don't forget anything.



1. The essentials to put in your suitcase


Clothing appropriate for the weather

  • Warm clothing (even in summer, nights can be cool)

  • Waterproof or windproof jacket

  • Comfortable shoes for walking in the forest or on trails

  • Light clothing and swimsuit (if cabin with spa, Nordic bath or lake)


Useful accessories

  • Headlamp or torch (this may be useful)

  • Portable charger or external battery

  • Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent


2. Plan meals and catering


You have a kitchenette in your cabin, you will need to provide:

  • Simple meals to heat or cook

  • Cooler or insulated bag in case of a picnic, otherwise a small fridge is available in the cabin


3. Comfort and peaceful night


  • Sheets, pillows, blankets are provided

  • Sleep mask and earplugs (if you are sensitive to nature sounds)

  • Book, board games or cards (no Wi-Fi, so disconnect!)


4. Activities to plan on site


To fully enjoy your stay:

  • Binoculars for bird watching

  • Notebook or camera to immortalize the moment

  • Bikes, if you like the slopes

  • Hiking equipment


5. Check practical information before departure


  • Arrival and departure time

  • Access conditions (GPS, entry code, parking, etc.)

  • Means of communication if needed (4G covers the site well)

  • Emergency numbers and contact details of the owner or host


Bonus: eco-responsible actions


A stay in a cabin often means getting back to basics. Take advantage of this opportunity to adopt a respectful approach:

  • Choose biodegradable products (soap, shampoo)

  • Manage your waste (sorting, zero waste if possible)

  • Save water and electricity

  • Respect the peace and quiet of the area and the surrounding wildlife
