Maison Hiltiti
Gérardmer, Grand Est, France
Inspired By Vosges Farmhouses, Redefining Shelter
"We are at the edge of the forest, the project is the last construction before the wilderness and the paths leading to the hilltops,” say the owners of Maison Hiltiti, a cabin above Gerardmer Lake in the French countryside.
Inspired by the value of nature and togetherness, this larch wood-clad home is wonderfully devoid of ornamentation and lets the raw materials shine.
Composed of three interlocking structures, the interiors are made completely with spruce wood. Each room has an organic, open flow and every inch was built for comfort - literally. Storage units, beds and benches are one with the home, thanks to Stattman Funiture. We love the wooden peg board, perfect for hanging coffee mugs or kitchen utensils.
This is a home with a warm dialogue with nature, inviting you to participate in the conversation.
Maison Hiltiti is a vacation rental in France that can accommodate a total of 16 people.
The first area includes an entrance hall, laundry room and sauna for six people (with a lake view), as well as storage space on the ground floor, and a large kitchen on the first floor which is spacious and efficient, with view of the hills and the lake.
A second section includes the living room that opens to the landscape and the lake below.
The last section contains six bedrooms with their own bathrooms.
The home is great for families, who might choose to gather around the foosball table, or watch their children play in the playroom in the mezzanine, with a collection of toys and books.The mezzanine room also features an area that is perfect for lazy or rainy days, with a TV that is equipped with Netflix, Canal +, and Amazon Prime.
Outside, you'll find a petanque area, yoga deck (first area of the home to see the sunrise - don't miss it!) and an open fire area that was inspired by “Boma” areas in Africa. The owners encourage you to cook rustic meals or to chill with your family and friends.
Sit down and dine in the shade of the trees surrounding the outdoor picnic area.
There are also numerous hiking trails hidden in the woods with direct access from the house.
