Nature house in Balen
Antwerp, Belgium
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- Pets allowed
On the border between Antwerp and Limburg, there are wonderful little spots surrounded by nature, like this one. Here, sometimes all you can hear is the birds singing, the soft hum of a glider in the summer, or the crackling of the stove when it’s colder. Thanks to the chalet’s serene and simple atmosphere and the beautiful light filtering through the forest, you’ll feel at peace right away. No unnecessary luxuries, but everything you need—whether you’re here as a couple or just by yourself. Energy from solar panels, water from the ground and the sky, and furniture and decor that are either recycled or sustainably handmade. So please use these resources sparingly. The chalet has a floor area of 30 m² and features a kitchenette with a gas stove, water from the well (including hot water), and all the kitchenware needed for a stay for two. Heating is provided by a wood stove. There is a separate shower/bathroom area partitioned by a wall and a closed toilet area. The sleeping and dining areas are separated by a wooden piece of furniture.
Nature and surroundings
You’re on private property in the beautiful Keiheuvel area in Balen. You can go on long walks starting right from the property. There are countless beautiful spots in the immediate vicinity, and you can also cycle to your heart’s content on your own bike. Cycle along the canal toward Mol or Leopoldsburg, or ride through the woods in Lommel, Olmen, and Meerhout. Nature surrounds you everywhere here, and you’ll feel the peace and quiet as soon as you turn onto the main road upon arrival. Deer and woodpeckers peek out from around the corner. This area has something for everyone—everything is close by, yet you still feel completely away from it all.

Charging an electric bike is nearly impossible due to the power supply.
4 solar panels—once they're gone, they're gone.Electrische fiets opladen bijna niet mogelijk I.v.m. Stroomvoorziening.
4zonnepanelen op=opThe cottage was fine; everything was very basic—the bed was comfortable, but the (garden) chairs weren't. The limitations on the power supply weren't communicated very clearly in advance. The surroundings were beautiful. There was loud music in the area over the weekend.
Het huisje was goed, alles wel heel basic, prima bed, (tuin)stoelen niet. De beperking van de stroomvoorziening was vooraf niet erg duidelijk gecommuniceerd. De omgeving prachtig. In het weekend wel harde muziek in de omgeving.

Everything you need is there. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the hot water to work on the second day, but taking a cold shower in warm weather isn't a big deal.
Alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Helaas kregen we de 2e dag het warm water niet aan de praat, maar met warm weer koud douchen is niet onoverkomelijk
A quiet, wooded area, with neighbors at a comfortable distance
Rustige bosrijke omgeving, buren op gepaste afstand
