Pets not allowed
A spacious and fully furnished vacation cottage (approx. 60 m² total) for 2–3 people. The cottage is situated on its own on a large lot with plenty of greenery and a beautiful orchard of standard fruit trees. The large orchard offers a lovely spot to relax. Originally, the nature house was a “bakkes” (Limburgish for “baking house”) built in the half-timbered style. After serving as a bakehouse and stable, the building was expanded with an upper floor and converted into a vacation home. The original bakehouse was built in 1850 and expanded into a stable around 1930. The interior features multicolored bricks and is cozily furnished. On the ground floor is the open kitchen with a dining area and a sitting area featuring a sofa and TV. The kitchen is equipped with a combination microwave, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, and an induction cooktop. On the first floor (accessible via the stairs) is the spacious bedroom (with 1 double bed and 1 single bed), the bathroom with shower and toilet.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located on the outskirts of the quaint village of Viele (Vijlen) in the hamlet of Melleschet, within a quiet zone. You’ll find complete peace and quiet in and around the nature house. You can also go hiking and biking in the Limburg Hills from here. For example, the cottage is located on the "Route des Vins." This hiking trail (approx. 11 km) takes you right through the beautiful hilly landscape past two impressive wine estates. Melleschet is also home to the Netherlands’ highest nature garden, the Heebrig (1.1 ha). From Melleschet, you can walk or bike to the hamlets of Rott, Camerig, Cottessen, Mamelis, and Harles, or explore the nature reserves (Vijlenerbos and Geuldal). In Vijlen, you’ll find several restaurants and a neighborhood store. The charming villages of Mechelen, Epen, and Gulpen are also just a short distance away. Nearby is Vaals with its famous Three Countries Point, and Aachen (9 km) and Maastricht (25 km) are practically just around the corner. We hope to welcome you soon to our nature house!

We felt very welcome upon arrival.
We spent most of our time outdoors because of the beautiful weather. The table behind the cottage has a very unique atmosphere right next to the old cottage. We also spent a lot of time in the orchard, which is a wonderful place to relax.
The cottage stayed cool even in the heat. Upstairs, it was warm. The owners were so thoughtful as to act on our suggestion right away and provide a fan. It was something we didn’t expect from them, but they took care of it immediately!
Inside, it’s neatly furnished and equipped with everything you need. In the evenings, it might be a bit dark inside.Bij aankomst ons zeer welkom gevoeld.
We hebben vooral buiten doorgebracht vanwege het mooie weer. De tafel achter het huisje heeft een heel unieke sfeer zo bij het oude huisje. We hebben iok veel tijd doorgebracht in de boomgaard waar het heerlijk toeven is.
Het huisje was koel in de warmte. Boven was het warm. De eigenaren waren zo attent om direct op onze tip in te gaan en te zorgen voor een ventilator. Iets wat we niet van hen verwachtten, maar wat ze direct regelden!
Binnen is het netjes ingericht en voorzien van alles wat he nodig hebt. In donkere tijden is het binnen wellicht best een beetje donker.The surroundings, tranquility, and nature here are overwhelming. A beautiful setting to enjoy nature and culture
De omgeving, rust en natuur hier is overweldigend. Prachtige omgeving om natuur en cultuur te genieten

A truly beautiful little cottage! Very clean, everything you need, and comfortable beds. We were there during some hot days, and the cottage stayed nice and cool.
The hosts were very kind and thoughtful!Een fantastisch mooi huisje! Heel schoon, alles aanwezig en prima bedden. Wij waren er met warme dagen en in het huisje was het lekker koel.
De verhuurders waren erg aardig en attent!The cottage is located in a quiet area. You could mainly hear the animals in the surrounding area. We were able to sit outside in the shade around the cottage, but we were also allowed to use the orchard.
Beautiful surroundings. You can go on walks and bike rides right from the cottage. There are also lovely towns in the immediate vicinity.Het huisje staat in het stiltegebied. Je hoorde vooral de dieren in de omgeving. We konden lekker buiten zitten in de schaduw rondom het huisje, maar mochten ook gebruik maken van de boomgaard.
Prachtige omgeving. Je kunt vanuit het huisje meteen wandelingen maken en fietstochten. Ook mooie steden in de directe omgeving.This text is automatically translated. -
