For re-energizing, you have come to the right place at our water mill; close to home, far away from the world. From the nature house you overlook the Hoge Kempen National Park with an area of 5,700 ha & 7,000 plant and animal species. The leisure facilities on our property are all about slowing down. The Finnish hot tub and barrel sauna are wood-fired. The wood comes from management on our own mill property. Floating on the raft or swimming a few laps can be done in the mill pond fed by springs on our property. The mill house was completely restored in 2018 with as much respect as possible for authentic elements without sacrificing comfort. The nature house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, peace and quiet guaranteed! Consciously choose authenticity, enjoy a stay in unique heritage and contribute to its preservation. Find peace and connection with your environment, yourself and your loved ones with a lasting impact long after your stay.
Nature and surroundings
The mill domain connects to the Hoge Kempen National Park. From our meadows you walk up a recognized Premium-Wander-Route of 12km. If you prefer a different route, follow the path in the other direction and after 1 km you will arrive at Poort Pietersheim. A 5km walk brings you to the grave "town" of Oud-Rekem, voted "The most beautiful village of Flanders" in 2008 and also the starting point for beautiful walks along the banks of the Meuse through the Meuse Valley River Park . Visit the Pietersheim water castle on foot or take the bus at 700m from our door to Maastricht, Maasmechelen Village, ... or why not to 1 of the other gateways of the National Park. For the management of our plot we are helped by Manx Loagthan sheep who provide natural grazing of the dikes. You can enjoy nature on 1 of the sitting areas around the pond.

We had booked this nature house because of the sauna, but especially hot tub. During the tour, landlady told us it was defective. The landlord went to work on it that weekend. He tried very hard, but it was impossible to get the hot tub working. We made use of the barrel sauna that evening. It was rainy weather, everything was wet. The sloping garden under construction was muddy and slippery because there was no pavement (yet). This made it difficult to get to the hot tub and sauna. Moreover, it was pitch dark. What were we happy with our phone flashlights! Conclusion: we were very much looking forward to a weekend with certainly several times relaxing in the hot tub, in such a beautiful place, which was impossible. We find it unacceptable that this nature house is rented with hot tub while it is not in use. Moreover, the garden should be better accessible with good lighting. In this way it is dangerous there.
We hadden dit natuurhuisje geboekt vanwege de sauna, maar vooral hottub.
Tijdens de rondleiding vertelde verhuurster dat deze defect was. De huisbaas ging er dat weekend mee aan de slag. Hij heeft erg z’n best gedaan, maar het was onmogelijk de hottub werkend te krijgen. We hebben die avond gebruik gemaakt van de barrelsauna.
Het was regenachtig weer, alles was nat. De glooiende tuin in aanleg was modderig en glibberig omdat er (nog) geen bestrating was. Daardoor was ‘t moeilijk om bij de hottub en sauna te komen. Bovendien was ‘t pikdonker. Wat waren we blij met onze telefoonzaklampen!
Conclusie: we hadden ons zeer verheugd op een weekend met zeker meerdere keren lekker ontspannen in de hottub, op zo’n mooie plek, wat onmogelijk was.
We vinden het niet kunnen, dat dit natuurhuisje verhuurd wordt met hottub terwijl deze niet in gebruik is.
Bovendien zou de tuin beter begaanbaar moeten zijn met goede verlichting. Op deze manier is het er gevaarlijk.It is a beautiful place! In terms of location: on a lake, in a sloping area. You get the feeling of sitting at the edge of a forest, especially in terms of views. You do not expect that such an old building, as it looks from the outside, is so beautifully renovated inside! It is comfortable and cozy. Everything is there for a pleasant stay. The bed is good. The bedding is not 100% cotton; that is less so. The stairs up are very narrow and steep. The reception by the landlady was warm and friendly. She is clearly very proud of the old watermill, and rightly so.
Het is een prachtige plek! Qua ligging: aan een meertje, in een glooiende directe omgeving. Je krijgt ‘n beetje ‘t gevoel aan een bosrand te zitten; zeker wb uitzicht.
Je verwacht niet dat in zo’n oud gebouw, zoals ‘t er van buiten uitziet, binnen zo mooi verbouwd is!
Het is er comfortabel en knus.
Alles is er aanwezig voor een prettig verblijf.
Het bed ligt goed. Het beddengoed is niet van 100% katoen; dat is minder. Het zweet en voelt plakkerig.
Het trapje naar boven ís zéér smal er stijl. Zéker niet geschikt voor iemand die wat slechter ter been is of flink overgewicht heeft.
De ontvangst door verhuurster was hartelijk en vriendelijk. Ze is duidelijk heel trots op de oude Watermolen, en dat is zéker terecht!This text is automatically translated. -

Hottube a little far from the cottage
Hottube wat ver van het huisje
Great location, cottage good for 2. Bedrooms 2 to 2 good but house room small. In summer a dream place.
Prima locatie, huisje goed voor 2. Slaapkamers 2 om 2 goed maar huiskamertje klein. In de zomer een droom plek.

Cottage itself is fine for 2 people; with more it seems cramped to us. You have to take enough time to visit sauna, because wood-fired and about 2 hours warm-up time. Fun / relaxing to do though.
Huisje zelf voldoet prima voor 2 personen; met meer lijkt het ons krap.
Je moet voldoende tijd nemen voor bezoek sauna, want hout gestookt en circa 2 uur opwarmtijd. Wel leuk / ontspannend om te doen.Right on the natural park. We liked the passing hikers, they often stopped to look at the water mill. And wonderful to be able to start a nice walk so from your cottage. Sufficient privacy for sauna.
Direct aan het natuurpark. We vonden de passerende wandelaars wel leuk, ze stonden vaak even stil om te kijken naar de watermolen. En heerlijk om zo vanuit je vakantiehuisje een mooie wandeling te kunnen starten. Voldoende privacy voor sauna.
