Nature house in Houffalize - Cetturu
Luxembourg, Belgium

- 1 bedroom

Pets not allowed
Do you want to experience the feeling that the world can look different? More beautiful. Slower. Milder. And do you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life? Then book a romantic two-person nature house in the heart of the Ardennes, near the town of Houffalize (10 kilometers). The two all-wood nature houses are specially designed for adult couples (no children & pets) and are free standing in the valley next to a babbling brook. Through the veranda you enter a lounge a la 'cabane' style with wood stove, dining area and fully equipped kitchen. A lovely bed brings you complete rest and completes your zen feeling in the middle of nature. In the separate bathroom you will find a sink, toilet and spacious shower. From the covered terrace on the edge of the forest you can see deer grazing and in the sky you can see birds of prey flying overhead. Because of its remote location, the cottage has no radio, TV or internet, but you can connect your smartphone to a retro speaker; a real nature house in other words. And do you still need free WiFi? You can do that at the inn of the Dutch landlords, 100 meters from the nature houses.
Nature and surroundings
The Belgian Ardennes offer a lot of natural beauty to enjoy in peace and quiet. Houffalize is part of a European network of protected natural areas, Natura 2000, and is part of nature park Les Deux Ourthes. Directly from the cottage you can already start beautiful walks through the hilly landscape. One minute's walk from the nature house is the inn of the landlords, where you can have a nice meal or a beer during the weekend. The small village of Cetturu belongs to the municipality of Houffalize and is about 10 kilometers from the center. The extensive forests with alternating coniferous and deciduous trees, the headwaters of the Ourthe River, the mountain massif Le Herou and the numerous small farming villages make the area a true paradise for nature and outdoor sports enthusiasts. In the town of Houffalize there are a number of restaurants and cafes and in the village of Achouffe (18 kilometers) there is the cozy eatery La Grange. Would you also like to sniff some culture? In Bastogne (17 kilometers) is the famous war museum Madrason, in Clervaux (20 kilometers) the photo exhibition 'Family of Man' and the city of Luxembourg is an hour's drive away.

Brecht November 14, 2025 General rating:Summary: Super cozy and convenient cabin, but the high premium price is not worth it as far as I am concerned, as it is a series of 6 cabins next to each other and this is not clear on the website. The cabin is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The highlight is the stove with the reading chairs and a first portion of wood provided. The kitchenette is well equipped and ideal for cooking on site. Also, the owners' bar across the street is homey and ideal for an outside drink in bad weather. Only downside: there are not one or two cabins (as appears from the pictures), but a whole row of 6 cabins. You are not really bothered by these neighbors, except that you hear them as they pass and they can look in from the road that passes behind the cabin. For a nature house, this looks more like a vacation park than a solitary cabin anyway and is not worth the premium price as far as I'm concerned (~25% overpriced).
Samenvatting: Super gezellige en gerieflijke hut, maar de hoge premiumprijs is het wat mij betreft niet waard, aangezien het om een reeks van 6 hutten naast mekaar gaat en dit niet duidelijk is op de website.
Het hutje is heel gezellig en smaakvol ingericht. Het hoogtepunt is het kacheltje met de leeszeteltjes en een eerste portie hout die voorzien wordt. Het keukentje is goed uitgerust en ideaal om ter plekke te koken. Ook de bar van de eigenaars aan de overkant van de straat is huislijk en ideaal voor een drankje bij slecht weer buiten.
Enige nadeel: er staan niet één of twee hutjes (zoals lijkt uit de foto's), maar een hele rij van 6 hutjes. Je hebt niet echt last van deze buren, behalve dat je ze hoort als ze passeren en dat ze kunnen binnenkijken vanop de weg die achter het hutje passeert. Voor een natuurhuisje lijkt dit toch al eerder op een vakantiepark dan op een solitair hutje en is het de premiumprijs wat mij betreft niet waard (~25% overprijsd).Nature, peace & environment:Located among bushes and views of trees, either partially cleared forest and planted firs. A nice hike starts from the cabin; map is provided by the owners. Only the road behind hut, where all other visitors to the huts pass, detracts from the tranquility.
Gelegen tussen struikgewas en zicht op bomen, hetzij deels gerooid bos en aangeplante sparren. Er vertrekt een mooie wandeling vanaf het hutje; de kaart wordt voorzien door de eigenaars. Enkel de weg achter hutje, waar alle andere bezoekers van de hutjes passeren, doet af aan de rust.

johny November 9, 2025 General rating:A BBQ would be another added value here.
Een BBQ zou hier een nog een meerwaarde zijn.
Nature, peace & environment:Nice cozy tiny house with all the trimmings. Looking for peace and quiet, enjoying nature? Then this is the place for you. Do not expect TV or internet or data coverage. A nice book or board games will have to do. Very good welcome from the owners. Everything clean and tidy. Nice place for nice forest walks. A return visit is likely Mr.
Leuk knus tiny huisje met alles erop en eraan. Zoek je rust en stilte, genieten van de natuur? Dan ben je hier op de plaats. Verwacht geen tv of internet of data bereik. Een leuk boek of gezelschaps spelletjes zullen het moeten doen. Zeer goede ontvangst van de eigenaars. Alles proper en netjes. Leuke plaats voor mooie boswandelingen. Een wederziens is heer waarschijnlijk aan de orde
