Chez nous en toute saison Explanation: I think this would be most appropriate for a home, as 'chez nous' makes it slightly more personal and cosy, but I still find it sounds better in English... Have you considered leaving it in English? |

Not' gourbi Explanation: This is originally an Arab word meaning "shed" or "shack" - it has sort of negative overtones to it,like as in "dump" but I just like the word. Not' of course is an abbreviation of Notre. |

Notre cachette Explanation: I liked mynnef's suggestion, so what about something along those lines - 'notre cachette' is 'our hiding place' (you said it was somewhere you like to get away to). Or you could try 'notre jardin secret' (our secret garden) Or even just 'notre secret' (our secret) ... |

Là où il fait bon vivre, en été comme en hiver. Explanation: Originally, I omitted the "en" but it did not sound French to me. Hope it helps... |
