Maison d'hôtes & Spa la Scierie

What a find! Somewhat randomly booked this place when looking for locations with air-conditioning that wasn't a city hotel and boy were pleasantly surprised. We had booked the family suite, which was perfect for us. Spacious, nicely decorated and practically furnished. On top of the room being spacious there is plenty of common space to use around the hotel/B&B, both inside and outside. There is a relatively small pool outside, but since there are only 5 rooms in total it is more than adequate. The service is the standout. It is super friendly and accommodating and just makes you want to stay and relax for a longer time. We actually tried to extend our stay but unfortunately it was fully booked, so we had to make do with just one day. Adding to the feel is the fact that you just walk into to the kitchen and grab what you want to drink and write it down on your tab. Maybe not the lowest prices but considering how inexpensive the stay it is hard to complain and compared to most big hotels it is still cheap. I'm trying hard to find a flaw but I guess that is closest I can get. :) All in all a wonderful place to do nothing but relax.

We had a fantastic time at La Scierie, thanks in no small part to our amazing hosts Marie and Mathieu. They have single-handedly created a true paradise out of a sawmill that stood in ruins just a few years ago – don’t miss their photo albums documenting the whole construction process, a veritable miracle involving the whole family! We spend an entire week at La Scierie with our two kids (7 & 10) and used it as a base to relax and explore the Jura region. Countless walks to and around beautiful lakes, exploring caves and nearby forests – there are many activities that will make fans of the outdoors very happy. The hot summer afternoons we spend lazing at the lovely pool of La Scierie – a real treat! La Scierie also spoilt us with a number of culinary highlights – starting from the very generous breakfast to the multi-course dinners lovingly created by Marie, accompanied by lovely Jura wines. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully decorated – comfortable and stylish at the same time. Common areas offer plenty of space for relaxation, be it in the comfy reading corners or over games for all ages on the lower floor. There is even a small spa downstairs with saunas and a whirlpool! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place – was definitely the highlight of our summer this year!

Nous avons passé deux jours à la Scierie à Salins les Bains. Un couple très sympathique, Marie et Mathieu, vous accueille dans une superbe maison d’hôtes, installée dans une ancienne scierie. Un ruisseau la traverse, les espaces sont lumineux, et on y sent encore le bois. Les chambres sont grandes, bien équipées et très propres. Le petit déjeuner, à base de produits frais de la région, est copieux et savoureux. La table d’hôtes est remarquable grâce aux talents culinaires de Marie, qui prend visiblement plaisir a régaler ses hôtes. Une carte de vins courte, et à des prix très raisonnables, permet d’accompagner agréablement le dîner. Bref, nous avons tout apprécié. Cerise sur le gâteau, Mathieu et Marie vous conseilleront dans le choix des excursions, nombreuses dans cette belle région.
