This nature house is located in the Viroin-Hermeton Nature Park near the French border and is set in an exceptional setting. The property itself has no amenities and is very popular with those seeking peace and quiet. What sets this cottage apart is its stylish wooden interior with a beautiful view of the forest, where, with a little luck, a deer might just wander by. It accommodates four people—two adults and two children—but not four adults. The living area features a pull-out sofa bed. A ladder leads up to the loft, which has two guest mattresses for children (preferably used with sleeping bags). All amenities (shower, toilet, sink, coffee maker, toaster, refrigerator, kitchen with induction cooktops and combination oven) are provided. Guests must bring their own bed, bath, and kitchen linens (a double comforter for the sofa bed is provided without a cover). The cabin is situated on a private lot of 23 are and therefore offers complete privacy. Reliable Wi-Fi is provided, as well as a TV with Chromecast.

Nature and surroundings

This exceptional vacation destination is located in the “Domaine des Nobertins,” within the beautiful “Viroin-Hermeton” nature reserve, and offers access to several peaceful walks through the forest. At the foot of the property flows the charming little river “De Alysse.” The village of Oignies-en-Thiérache (Viroinval), where the vacation home is located, lies at the southernmost tip of Belgium, just two kilometers from France. There are several tourist attractions to visit nearby, such as “Fondry des Chiens” (stunning rock formations in Nîsmes, sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Ardennes). The “Grottes de Neptunes” in Couvin are also highly recommended. You’ll find restaurants in Nîsmes, Fumay (France), and Mariémbourg (Brasserie des Fagnes), among other places. Furthermore, this vacation destination offers everything you need to recharge your batteries and completely unwind in an idyllic, natural setting. We wish you a relaxing stay.

    A beautiful little house that has just about everything you need for a relaxing stay. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also feels spacious inside despite its limited size. This is partly due to the large side windows (with roller shades), where you can sit to read a book or have a meal. The view of the greenery is amazing! The little patio is also the best.
    The kitchen has everything you need, from a small fridge to a combination oven, an induction stove, and plates, cutlery, and so on. The water is probably safe to drink, but it’s still recommended to bring your own drinking water (tip: water is very cheap in France).
    The bathroom also has everything you need. The shower is definitely good, but the shower curtain wasn’t really our thing (it makes the space feel cramped when it’s drawn in and is a bit musty at the bottom), and a light in the shower wouldn’t be a bad idea either (it’s a bit dark right now).
    The bed is a sofa bed. It wasn’t particularly comfortable for us, but it’s still pretty decent for a sofa bed. The mattress topper provided was very welcome, as was the comforter.

    A phenomenal location right in the middle of the Domaine des Nobertins forest. Even though neighbors are “visible,” the orientation of the property means there’s almost no view into the property (just a small glimpse from the road).
    At times, the silence is so profound that your ears almost start to ring—it’s fantastic! Occasionally, a car does pass by on the small road (which is fairly central to the property). Perhaps partly because of this, we didn’t spot any large animals, but we did see plenty of birds (great spotted woodpecker, jay, sparrows, titmice, etc.) and squirrels, and at dusk we saw bats (and a local cat).
    Below the property (via some steep little paths), there’s a small river where there’s plenty of space to relax (and build little dams). This is also where many hiking trails start, so you don’t need a car to explore the area.
    Nearby, there are the Neptune Caves and the Fairy Trail des Fonds de l’Eau, both of which are definitely worth a visit.
    The village of Fumay (just across the French border) is ideal for shopping.

    All in all, a great cottage—it’s cozy and charming. It might just be the nicest cottage in the park. It was a great choice to install large windows so you can look out at the woods from your living room without seeing any other vacation cottages. It really gives you the feeling that you’re away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is a major plus compared to other vacation parks. Unfortunately, there are no window screens on the windows and/or doors, which are definitely necessary in the middle of the woods ;)

    There’s no better place than here to enjoy peace, space, and nature

    Response from the host
    “Dear Rob,
    Thank you for this wonderful review.
    Your comment about the fly screens is absolutely valid.
    We’ve since installed them.”
