We want to start with this phrase that has accompanied us since the beginning of our history: Life takes you, but it also gives you opportunities to be able to resurface.
The idea for Cabanes Dosrius was born during a family after-dinner conversation, a conversation between a woman who dreams and loves nature, Sandra; and a man who stood out for his perseverance and logical ability, Agustí. (In fact, daughter-in-law and father-in-law, they loved to reflect and share ♥ very much). So the ideal combination was given to show the first spark of illusion of what would become, the project of our lives!
The next step was, to take a leap into the void! After losing his job in a multinational and with practically the whole family against him, Agustí decided to sell his home in Caldetes where they lived. Leaving everything, to give yourself body and soul. We thought he had drunk the understanding! But with his great tenacity and absolute confidence in the idea, he overcame all the obstacles that stood in the way. Which were not few, nor easy at all!
On August 13, 2013, we managed to open the doors with the first 3 cabins. It was a really intense process of opening up and in chaotic moments, in which we were focused (and also upset), the whole family. Agustí and his wife Maria (who, by the way, had to leave her heels for her mountain shoes!), settled down to live right here in the forest, where the reception is now. And from there, they took care of all the customers' daily tasks, practically available 24 hours a day. His son Marc combined school as a Physical Education teacher with the maintenance of the cabins. And Sandra was in charge of creating the website, the internal process guides and what she likes to do the most, weaving a network! But at that time she was still working in large hotels in Barcelona, "addicted" to the frenetic pace as a group coordinator.
When we look back on these 11 years of career, we are accompanied by particularly hard moments, such as Agustí's fight against cancer, in which he died in August 2015. But we are also accompanied by many experiences that we remember with a smile and now we clearly understand that we have all been a key piece for this project to become a reality and become what Cabanes Dosrius is today. An inspiring family project for us, in which in an organic way, we have been contributing and sharing our talents.
Agustí gave birth to the 7 warm and cozy cabins on top of the trees. And although he has not been able to live the trajectory of the first decade, he has invited us to follow a path that has allowed us to grow, express and enhance our qualities. And it is an honor as a family, to keep their dream and the soul of the project alive. Reconnect with the natural environment, to value the essentials and enjoy the small great pleasures of life. Generating a Health and Well-Being Space for all the Senses.
We doubt Agustí's attitude of perseverance and resilience towards the complex situations of life, values that he has left us for our day to day. And it reminds us that THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT WHAT WE FACE, BUT THE WAY WE DO IT.
