Nature house in Rekem
Limburg, Belgium
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Our beautiful vintage forest cottage is located in the corner of the park. The cottage has no TV but has a record player and CD player with LPs and CDs. And also a giga garden of 1500 m2 with a large wood-fired barrel sauna for four people. At the back of the garden flows a small river. This is how a person comes to rest. The cottage has a private entrance through the parking lot of the gym Rekem (only on foot). So you do not always have to go through the barrier of the park. The vacation park has no animation rats (no Bollo the Bear or other fun) but it does have a beautiful large swimming lake that is also very quiet in the summer. In fact, visitors from outside are not welcome. The bathroom with shower stall is dated but everything works and the shower is excellent. In very dry periods BBQ and open fire is strictly prohibited. The cottage is within walking distance of a large supermarket. Please note that the cottage is not solitary in a forest but on a park with more cottages.
Nature and surroundings
As nature lovers, for us the location on National Park the Hoge Kempen was one of the reasons to buy this cottage. You cycle or walk straight into the vast nature reserve. Even at the park I have spotted deer and wild boar at dusk. With a little luck you'll see a shrike or a kingfisher. As a mountain bike enthusiast, you can also get to work: there are more than 100 km of trail. Less than 15 km away is Maastricht. Behind it lies the beautiful hill country. Nearby is the village of Oud Rekem: according to Belgians one of the most beautiful villages. The Meuse Valley is a few kilometers away.

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.

Perfect cottage, spacious garden, all amenities available, unparalleled atmosphere!
Perfect huisje, ruime tuin, alle voorzieningen aanwezig, ongeëvenaarde sfeer!
Fantastic place to stay! From moment 1 you feel yourself free in the lovely garden with tall trees and various seating areas. Ideal location to relax in the sauna or just active hiking or sports nearby. We also really enjoyed Maastricht and Genk, nice places on very short distance. The atmosphere of the house, both inside and outside is top! We thought the bedrooms were a bit small for 4 people but that was not so bad. We can not think of any points of improvement!
Fantastische plek om te verblijven! Vanaf moment 1 voel je jezelf vrij in de heerlijke tuin met hoge bomen en diverse zitjes.
Ideale locatie om te relaxen in de sauna of juist actief te gaan wandelen of sporten in de buurt. Wij hebben ook erg genoten van Maastricht en Genk, leuke plaatsen op hele korte afstand.
De sfeer van het huisje, zowel binnen als buiten is top!
We dachten dat de slaapkamers wat klein waren voor 4 personen maar dat viel reuze mee. We kunnen geen verbeterpunten bedenken!This text is automatically translated. -

Enjoyed the cute sauna and the little stream at the back of the garden to cool off. Beautiful evenings by the fireplace. Absolutely recommended.
Genoten van de schattige sauna en het kleine beekje achterin de tuin om af te koelen. Mooie avonden bij het haardvuur. Absolute aanrader.
Beautiful personal and unique nature house in the forest in a very pleasant location, both close to Maastricht and to the beautiful nature.
Prachtig persoonlijk en uniek natuurhuisje in het bos op een hele prettige ligging, zowel dichtbij Maastricht als bij de prachtige natuur.
