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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.

    Great location, cottage good for 2. Bedrooms 2 to 2 good but house room small. In summer a dream place.

    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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.
