Nature and surroundings

The house is located in the middle of nature, near tourist attractions such as the Drielandenpunt, the Geulvallei, the Vijlenerbos, the Gulperberg, Aachen, Valkenburg, Maastricht and Liege. The area is very popular with hikers and cyclists. The only major Dutch cycling classic, the Amstel Gold Race, is held here every year in April. So grab your (racing) bike and try to conquer one of the famous hills, such as Camerig, Gulperberg, Eyserbosweg, Keutenberg or Cauberg! The unique landscape makes South Limburg the most striking part of the Netherlands. Famous for its green undulating hills, vast plateaus, fast-flowing streams, typical half-timbered farmhouses, flowering orchards and vineyards, grafts and hollow roads.

    We did not sit outside, it was too cold for that. We think the limited outdoor space can be a downside in the summer. Further points of interest: little space to park at the house so after unloading, park the car a long way away. The mattresses are on the thin side; can be annoying for heavier people, especially side sleepers. On the 1p bedroom, the water heater hangs over the bed. Feels a bit odd, but otherwise not a problem.

    Spent a December weekend at Hilleshagen with five adults and baby. Enjoyed the surroundings and the house - beautiful hiking and biking area. Cottage is slightly off the road so little inconvenience from traffic. The house is cozy and fully equipped. Plumbing and kitchen look a little dated, but are perfectly functional. Heating works fine. The two 2p bedrooms are spacious, even for (self-brought) crib. Everything very neat and clean upon arrival. Bedding and linen provided, so no dragging. Delicious. The contact with the landlords was fine and cordial.

    The very spacious house, with bedrooms and bathroom (without WC) upstairs is very nice. This is adjacent to the house and garden of the neighbors. These you can (with good hearing) sometimes hear. When before dawn several people are talking in the garden of the neighbors under the bedroom you hear it through the closed windows. 2 (pleasant) electric bicycles can be used for free. Ride three countries point is a nice distance and beautiful views along the way. Big plus: according to the house rules, sent about 1.5 weeks before arrival, can be parked in the garage behind the neighbors' garden, on the road and at a restaurant downhill. The garage was difficult with large car (especially in the dark), because of slope (with pole in turning radius) and right next to wall, with door on (sight side) left side (right would have been easier). On the road was not doable, because of (dangerous situations on) bike lanes and a private piece for the neighbors' garden on the road, where you were not allowed to stand.

    We stayed 4 nights in this very spacious house with beautiful views (in clear weather) of a valley at the back. There is also a terrace behind the neighbor's garden (We did not use that). Bed linen, towels, washcloths, kitchen towels, dishcloths and toilet paper are included. You clean the house yourself at the end. You leave used linen in the washing machine. In the area you can discover a lot of nature by walking or cycling.
