Stay in a charming vacation cottage at an affordable price—whether you’re looking to unwind for a few days or enjoy a longer vacation. You’ll be staying in the restored milk house of a 19th-century farm. The nature house (40 m² floor area) is situated beneath the large walnut tree that graces the expansive garden. The house is equipped with all basic amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a separate toilet, internet, and a television. There is a mezzanine with two single beds, and downstairs there is a sofa bed for two people. The cottage is a licensed lodging that meets the Belgian 3-star classification. The private sauna and jacuzzi can both be booked for 50 euros and 40 euros per session, respectively, or 90 euros for both (select the “Luxury Wellness Check-in” option). If you wish to use the sauna or jacuzzi multiple times, you can pay for additional sessions on-site. On weekends, you can also book and enjoy breakfast in our breakfast room (28 euros per person per day).

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located on the Kalkense Meersen, a vast nature reserve that is part of the Scheldt Valley National Park. With 1,000 hectares of contiguous low-lying meadows, crisscrossed by ditches and pools in an old meander of the Scheldt, the Kalkense Meersen serve as a unique breeding and wintering ground for many meadow birds. Discover the tranquility and beauty of this natural setting through the numerous hiking and biking trails. The vacation home provides maps of many marked hiking and biking routes. You can also bike along the Scheldt all the way to Ghent (about 17 km). The vacation home is located within the Ghent-Antwerp-Brussels triangle, so day trips to these cities are also easy to arrange. The cottage has a private terrace and a shared garden. Children can play in the garden on the swing and slide (the trampoline is no longer there).

    We used it as a base, it is just right between Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. It is quiet and with lots of nature.

    A small but nice cottage that has all the amenities.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A beautiful quiet area with hiking and biking trails nearby. We also saw many birds. The cottage itself sits on a main road, but you notice little of that. You are in fact at the back of the plot.

    Everything top!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Small cottage equipped with all amenities. Friendly owners. Children could even borrow outdoor toys from them and play in the garden. Beautiful hiking area around the corner. Only downside is that the stairs upstairs at the end have no handrail. So sleeping upstairs not recommended for small children.
