Has anyone been to La Maison de la Foret? It looks really nice and the prices are quite reasonable. There are cottages, tents and a nice restaurant but it’s definitly not just 1 hour drive from Beirut! You easily need an hour and a half to get to Bkassine but it’s a very good road.
So there are two places that I want to visit in Jezzine now, Pinea Campus and La Maison De La Foret.
Filled with the culture of the South, La Maison de la Forêt is the coming together of outdoor activities, rustic accommodations, camping sites, family getaways, childhood memories, the warm smell of morning coffee, donkeys rides and trails, the unexpected enchantment with the silence of nature, and all the bright skies and chilly starry nights in between.
All the houses are made of wood, all the greetings are made of the warmth of the community and all the products are made of the goodness of the southern soil. The many passageways and the main activities on site are welcoming, safe and secure for any physical disability.
Only one hour away from the capital city, Beirut, La Maison de la Forêt is the sweetest escape away from the urban hustle and bustle. [LaMaisonDeLaForet]
Yeah, I love it! It is all about eco-tourism and organic food! As for the prices, they are not that good if you are counting on going there as a small group.
Here is the price list: http://lamaisondelaforet.net/rates.pdf
Been there a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with the place! It’s a must-visit, and my favorite part is actually Tawlet Souk El Tayeb who is open in there as well. Great food, great views with pine trees, and fun activities!
