Our beautiful vintage forest cottage is located in the corner of the park. The cottage doesn’t have a TV, but it does have a record player and CD player with LPs and CDs. It also features a massive 1,500 m² garden with a large wood-fired barrel sauna that seats four people. Other cottages in the park have tiny gardens and are situated close together. A small stream flows through the back of the garden. The cottage has its own entrance (accessible only on foot) via the parking lot of the Rekem gym. This way, you don’t always have to go through the park’s gate. The vacation park doesn’t have any entertainment gimmicks (no Bollo the Bear or other characters), but it does have a beautiful, large swimming lake that remains very peaceful even in the summer. That’s because outside visitors aren’t allowed. The bathroom with a shower stall is a bit dated, but everything works, and the shower is excellent. During very dry periods, barbecues and open fires are strictly prohibited. The cottage is within walking distance of a large supermarket. Please note: the cottage is not isolated in a forest but is located in a park with other cottages.
Nature and surroundings
As nature lovers, the location near De Hoge Kempen National Park was one of the reasons we decided to buy this cottage. You can easily bike or walk right into the vast nature reserve. I’ve even spotted roe deer and wild boars in the park at dusk. With a little luck, you might see a great spotted woodpecker or a kingfisher. If you’re a mountain biker, there’s plenty to do: there are over 100 km of trails. Maastricht is less than 15 km away. Beyond that lies the beautiful hilly countryside. Nearby is the village of Oud Rekem: considered by the Belgians to be one of the most beautiful villages. The Meuse Valley is just a few kilometers away.

Decorated exactly to our taste. Equipped with many conveniences. The bed was comfortable. There were even fans we could use. The only inconvenience was the lack of electrical outlets in the bedrooms. We also missed having a door to the upstairs bedroom.
The banister wobbles a lot, which made navigating the staircase—which was new to us—with a small child a bit nerve-wracking. The kitchen was fully equipped.Helemaal naar onze smaak ingericht. Voorzien van vele gemakken. Het bed lag lekker. Er waren zelfs ventilatoren die wij konden gebruiken. Alleen het gebrek aan stroompunten in de slaapkamers was lastig. Ook miste wij een deur bij het slaapvertrek boven.
De trapleuning wiebelt erg, waardoor de voor ons nieuwe trap met een kleintje, spannend was. De keuken was volledig uitgerust.It was wonderfully spacious. Thanks to the many trees and the cottage’s location, it’s very peaceful. The only downside was that the neighbor across the street’s dog barked a lot, and the dog training caused quite a bit of a nuisance. This only happened on 2 out of 10 days.
Landlord’s response: Thank you for the positive review and the feedback. I’ll reinforce the stair railing and install additional electrical outlets in the bedroom. Behind the large garden on the other side of the small river is an area where, once a week (usually in the evening), one or two German Shepherds are trained for 1.5 hours. This causes some noise disturbance. The cottage is located in a park and is not isolated in the middle of a forest: there are ambient noises.Het was heerlijk ruim. Door de vele bomen en de ligging van het huisje ervaar je veel rust. Alleen de hond van de overbuurman blafte erg veel en de hondentraining zorgde voor veel overlast. Dit was slecht 2 van de 10 dagen.
Reactie van verhuurder: Dank voor de positieve beoordeling en de kritiekpunten. Ik zal de trapleuning steviger maken en extra electriciteitspunten in de slaapkamer maken. Achter de grote tuin aan de overzijde van het riviertje bevindt zich een terrein waar een keer in de week (meestal in de avond) gedurende 1,5 uur training wordt gegeven aan een of twee herdershonden. Dat zorgt voor wat geluidsoverlast. Het huisje staat op een park en ligt niet solitair midden in een bos: er zijn omgevingsgeluiden.This text is automatically translated. -

We had a wonderful week at the cabin in the woods. The dog enjoyed it, too.
We hebben een heerlijke week in het boshuis gehad. Ook de hond heeft genoten.
Lovely cottage. Nice garden. A great starting point for beautiful hikes in the National Park.
Heerlijk huisje. Fijne tuin. Een goed uitgangspunt voor mooie wandelingen in het Nationaal Park.

What a lovely little cabin in the woods! It’s surrounded by a beautiful, spacious garden with lots of trees, shrubs, several seating areas, a barbecue, a sauna, a small stream, and a pond. The cottage itself is tastefully decorated with retro and vintage items, a nice, sturdy bed, and a great Smeg stove. It’s great that dogs are welcome; our dog had a wonderful vacation just like we did. The cottage is big enough to fit a large dog bed. We’d love to come back again!
(There’s no hair dryer, though, so it’s a good idea to bring your own—otherwise you’ll be sleeping on a wet pillow all night.)Wat een heerlijk boshuisje! Er ligt een prachtige grote tuin omheen met veel bomen, struiken, meerdere zitjes, barbecue, sauna, een beekje en een vijver. Het huisje zelf is smaakvol ingericht met retro en vintage spullen, een lekker stevig bed en een goed Smeg fornuis. Fijn dat honden welkom zijn, onze hond had net als wij een heerlijke vakantie. Het huisje is groot genoeg om een grote hondenmand kwijt te kunnen. We komen graag nog eens terug!
(Er is alleen geen föhn dus handig om die zelf mee te nemen, anders slaap je de hele nacht op een nat kussen)The cottage is located in a beautiful wooded area of the park, and you can walk straight into the forest. The Savelse Forest, the Hoge Kempen, and the Three-Country Point near Vaals are just a short drive away and great for hiking. The cottage and the garden itself offer plenty of privacy thanks to the many trees and vegetation. The garden is teeming with birds, and we’ve also spotted several squirrels in the park. In the woods, we saw a young deer.
Het huisje ligt in een mooi bosrijk deel van het park en je loopt zo het bos in. Het Savelse bos, De Hoge Kempen en het Drielandenpunt bij Vaals zijn niet ver rijden en mooi om te wandelen. Het huisje en de tuin zelf hebben veel privacy door de vele bomen en begroeiing. Het barst van de vogels in de tuin en we hebben ook meerdere eekhoorns in het park gezien. In het bos zagen we een jong hert.
