Nature house in Sart-Lez-Spa (Jalhay)
Liège, Belgium
- 6 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Spacious (>250 m²) postmodern bungalow (1975) in the Hoëgne River valley in the hills of the High Fens, Belgian Ardennes. The home is simply and very practically furnished. It features comfortable box-spring beds and all standard kitchen appliances. For new bookings, the number of guests has recently been intentionally limited to 4; larger families are certainly welcome, but please contact us to discuss arrangements. Rentals of up to 3 months are possible. Expect a wonderfully spacious home—certainly not a five-star accommodation, more of a “back to basics” experience, yet still with a touch of luxury. The house is a perfect starting point for exploring this beautiful nature reserve. Nearby: Coo, Francorchamps, Spa, Banneux, Monschau. The house is situated in the middle of the forest—this is a completely different way of living than in a city. The house is heated with fuel oil, electricity, and/or pellets—no gas! Expect additional energy costs on cold winter days. You’ll receive a free wheelbarrow full of firewood. New bags of pellets cost €9 each. Pellets are an affordable and pleasant way to heat your home!
Nature and surroundings
The High Fens get plenty of rain. You live right in the middle of the forest. In the winter, you might just come across a deer in your yard. Raccoons, wild boars—they all live in the surrounding forests! Here, you’re truly out in nature. So don’t compare living here to a home in the city or a village. It is a bit spartan, though. From the house, you can walk directly along the Hoëgne River to the beautiful forest and moorland areas of the High Fens and Belgium’s highest point: the Baraque Michel. The High Fens are marshy, so stay on the trails. Along the way, you won’t encounter any signs of civilization, allowing you to fully enjoy what nature has to offer. You can also easily take a day trip by car to Monschau, Liège, Verviers, Aachen, Maastricht, or Luxembourg. Closer by are the lovely towns of Spa and Malmedy. You can also take the kids on a day trip to the thermal baths in Spa, Plopsaland Coo, or the waterfalls. The pilgrimage site of Banneux is also nearby.

The surroundings are beautiful—you can walk right into the woods. There is, however, a busy road next to the cottage. We were very disappointed with the cottage itself; it was such a letdown that we left a day early. Very poor maintenance, both inside and out. The exterior of the cottage lacks any charming decor. Inside: burnt pans in the drawer, mold on the pillows, old furniture, etc. The photos on the website are out of date.
De omgeving is mooi je loopt zo het bos in. Wel een drukke weg naast het huisje. Het huisje zelf viel ons erg tegen, dit was echt een teleurstelling waardoor we een dag eerder weer vertrokken zijn. Heel slecht onderhoud zowel buiten als binnen. Geen sfeervolle aankleding aan de buitenkant vh huisje. Binnen: pannen aangebrand in de la, schimmel op de kussens, oude meubels etc. De foto's op de site zijn niet meer actueel.

The cottage has a lot of potential. The surroundings are wonderful.
Het huisje heeft zeer veel potentie. De omgeving is geweldig.
What a wonderful setting this cottage offers us as nature lovers! We saw so many wild animals and went on beautiful walks right from the cottage.
Wat een geweldige omgeving heeft dit huisje voor ons als natuur liefhebber! Zo ontzettend veel wilde dieren gezien en prachtige wandelingen vanuit het huisje.
