The Trapper's Cabin

The Cabane de Trappeur at Domaine de Campras is a handcrafted, eco-friendly cabin designed for guests who want an intimate and memorable stay in the Pays Cathare. Built by hand from regional wood and natural materials, the cabin is decorated with artisanal furnishings that create a warm, rustic atmosphere without sacrificing comfort. Its elevated position provides uninterrupted views of the Pyrenees and the surrounding countryside, making it a perfect spot for sunrise and stargazing. Comfort and convenience are thoughtfully provided: the cabin is heated, towels and linens are included and beds are made on arrival. Guests who wish to relax further can enjoy the heated jacuzzi located a short walk from the cabin; the spa is bookable in private time slots for a quiet and exclusive experience. The domaine’s 20,000 m² grounds invite exploration, with a duck pond, shaded play area, slides, table tennis, babyfoot and a giant chess game to keep both children and adults entertained. Nature lovers will appreciate that the property is an LPO bird refuge (French Bird Protection League), where careful, chemical-free maintenance supports local biodiversity. The cabin is also ideally located for outdoor activities: 18 marked hiking circuits start nearby, mountain biking trails and horse riding are within a short drive, and water sports are available around 20 minutes away. Cultural and historical attractions are close at hand, including Saissac’s Cathar castle just five minutes away and the fortified city of Carcassonne about 20 minutes from the domaine. Practical details make the stay easy: arrivals are from 16:00 to 23:00 with departures before 10:00, same-day reservations close at midnight, and secure free parking is available. Local shops in Saissac provide bakeries, a butcher and grocery options if you prefer to dine in, while restaurants from pizzerias to gourmet dining are only minutes away. Pets are welcome, reflecting the domaine’s relaxed, home-like atmosphere. Fred, the host, values simplicity and is attentive to guests’ needs. Whether you are seeking a romantic hideaway, a family adventure or a nature-focused retreat, the Cabane de Trappeur offers handcrafted charm, modern comfort and direct access to the landscapes and heritage of the Aude.
