Le Mas de la Rode guest house, nestled in Saumane, is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway in the heart of nature. This charming property offers a comfortable, intimate setting, including a spacious living room, 2 cosy bedrooms “Le Mont Lozère” and “Le Rocher de l'Aigle” (25m2 each) and a well-equipped bathroom. It can accommodate up to 4 people, ideal for couples, families or small groups of friends. Modern facilities include Wi-Fi to keep you connected, plus a host of amenities for a pleasant stay.

Enjoy the tranquility of the setting, while being just a short stroll away from outdoor activities and picturesque villages.
A long time ago, we acquired a forest in the heart of the Cevennes mountains, where the ruins of a 17th century sheepfold lay buried in the vegetation. We renovated it using the noble materials of the time.
It took 30 years of hard work and dedication.
Mas de la Rode is located 2 km above SAUMANE.
Our river, the Gardon, with its natural swimming pool and landscaped beach, lies just below the village square.
The Gardon offers many gours and beaches accessible over a 20 km stretch, and is a favourite with trout fishermen.
