Winter reveals a different forest. The light softens, the air becomes crisper, sounds grow scarce. It's precisely this atmosphere that makes a winter cabin weekend so special at Cabanes des Grands Chênes. This year, the cabins hibernate on weekdays starting November 22, 2025, but welcome guests every weekend, from Friday to Sunday, until February 27, 2026. In other words, it's time to turn that recurring idea into a real getaway plan.
Weekends open all winter
At the edge of the estate, a warm welcome sets the tone with hot chocolate and a smile. The forest is calm, the season invites you to slow down and cocoon. The cabins are decorated for the occasion with simple, warm touches. Inside, you'll find everything you need to feel good: cozy bedding, soft lighting, plush blankets, and the rare feeling of being completely away from it all without being far from home. Depending on the chosen category, some terraces feature a heated Nordic bath to extend the evening under the stars. In the morning, the breakfast basket awaits at the foot of the cabin. You hoist it up, settle in, and the day begins facing the trees.
December's special event
On December 19, 20, and 21, the estate takes on a festive air. A Christmas market-style event invites you to stroll around and indulge in little treats. Santa's cabin delights children and those who are still young at heart. After a walk, you return to your cabin, light a candle, open a book, and let the evening unfold simply. That's exactly the spirit of a successful winter nature stay.
Warming dinners without leaving your cabin
Winter instinctively calls for shared meals. On the menu, warm, seasonal dinners. Raclette that brings people together, fondue that keeps the conversation flowing, and simmering stews that fill the cabin with their aroma. Everything arrives in a basket, ready to enjoy on-site. You chat, you laugh, you take your time. The next day, a stroll through the estate's paths is enough to truly feel miles away. Footsteps crunch on the frozen ground, the mist rises, and the canopy filters a clear light.
Just a stone's throw from Paris and Lille
Located in the Oise, about fifty minutes from Paris and an hour and forty-five minutes from Lille, Cabanes des Grands Chênes offer an escape without the hassle of a long journey. You leave on Friday after work, unwind for two nights, and return Sunday evening feeling like you've shifted gears. The proximity doesn't diminish the sense of getting away. At night, the silence is profound, and the stars seem closer than ever.
For two, with friends or family
A winter cabin weekend has its own unique charm. As a couple, you embrace the art of cocooning. Blankets draped over shoulders, warm drinks, intimate conversations by lamplight, and, depending on the cabin, a steaming Nordic bath under the winter sky. With friends, it's that long-promised break. You turn off notifications, share a fondue, and put the world to rights late into the night. With family, it's a gentle adventure that instills an appreciation for simple pleasures. Watching winter birds, following a trail, observing the forest as it rests. Everyone finds their place and their rhythm, without pressure or a fixed schedule.
Choose the cabin that suits you
Choosing is simple. Duo cabins prioritize intimacy and one-on-one time. Family configurations or those suitable for several people allow you to bring loved ones without sacrificing comfort. Spa versions, with a heated Nordic bath, appeal to wellness enthusiasts and those who love starry nights. Cabins without a spa offer an even more understated immersion in the heart of the forest.

What to bring and what to leave behind
We pack light. Warm clothes, comfortable shoes, a book, a board game, slippers and flip-flops for the Nordic bath. We leave the rest behind. The to-do lists, back-to-back appointments, the race against time. In return, we gain quality time, screen-free conversations, a different pace. The forest plays its part. It helps us recenter, breathe more gently, and rediscover what truly matters.
