About
We are not a company with a portfolio of properties. We are two people who built one house in the valley we live in, and who welcome every guest at the door.
Before
The land came first. A south-facing shelf above the river, too steep for farming and too quiet for anyone in a hurry. We bought it without knowing what we would build, and spent a year walking it in every season before drawing a single line.
The build
The architect asked one question that decided everything: what do you want to be looking at when you wake up? Every room answers it. Nine metres of glass slide open onto the terrace, the roof follows the ridge behind it, and nothing in the plan competes with the window.
Since
A wooden house wants a few anchors — objects that hold temperature and silence. The stone bath was the first, carved from one block of river stone and lifted in through the window it now looks out of. The woodshed was the second. Both were harder than they sound.
Your hosts
Host & caretaker
Anna keeps the house and the guest book. She knows where the light lands first in the morning.
One journal entryHost
Marc built half the furniture and stacks the woodshed. He lights the first fire of the season.

No shared spaces, no other guests, no thin walls. You take all of it or none of it — that is the entire point.
We could have added a games room. We added insulation, triple glazing and a woodshed instead. The valley supplies the rest.
One of us meets you at the door and walks you through the house. After that you will see us only if you want to.
Write to us with a question, or tell us your dates — either reaches the two of us directly.
