Nature house in Balen
Antwerp, Belgium
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- Pets allowed
On the border between Antwerp and Limburg, you’ll find 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 gets colder. Thanks to the chalet’s serene and simple atmosphere and the beautiful light filtering through the forest, you’ll feel instantly at peace. 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’s either recycled or sustainably handmade. So please use these resources sparingly. The chalet has an 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 divided 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 bike to your heart’s content on your own bike. Bike 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 the moment you turn onto the main road upon arrival. Deer and woodpeckers—they’re just around the corner. This area has something for everyone; everything is close by, yet you still feel like you’ve completely escaped it all.

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

Beautiful chalet. A really quiet place to escape from technology. We enjoyed the nature together. Nice for the dog to run free. Very quiet environment although sometimes it can get a little lively when a wild cat runs by and all the dogs nearby start barking. It was so beautiful, we stayed in the chalet almost all the time. Just unwinding in the hammock, or playing a game of badminton. It was fun collecting pine cones. There is a fire pit with a BBQ grill, and the evenings were extra romantic with candlelight, the vinyl player and a few board games. Inside, it was really cozy and beautifully decorated with attention to detail, but without too much stuff. Everything was taken care of - you just need to bring your clothes and toothbrush.
Prachtige chalet. Een echt rustige plek om te ontsnappen aan technologie. We hebben samen genoten van de natuur. Leuk voor de hond om vrij te rennen. Zeer rustige omgeving al kan het soms even levendig worden wanneer een wilde kat voorbij rent en alle honden in de buurt begint te blaffen.
Het was zo mooi, we bleven bijna de hele tijd in het chalet. Even tot rust komen in de hangmat, of een potje badminton spelen. Het was leuk om dennenappels te verzamelen. Er is een vuurbak met een BBQ-grill.
’s Avonds werd het extra romantisch met kaarslicht, de vinylspeler en een paar bordspelletjes. Binnen was het echt gezellig en prachtig gedecoreerd met oog voor detail, maar zonder al te veel spullen.
Alles was geregeld — je hoeft alleen je kleding en tandenborstel mee te nemen.The chalet is in the middle of nature ... a bumpy drive makes you forget that the paved road is only five minutes away. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, occasionally interrupted by birdsong. The supermarket is fifteen minutes away by car. Across the road is a different kind of terrain - reminiscent of a savannah. The grounds around the chalet are dotted with various trees, especially pines.
Het chalet ligt midden in de natuur… een hobbelige rit doet je vergeten dat de verharde weg slechts vijf minuten verderop ligt. We hebben genoten van de rust en stilte, af en toe onderbroken door het gezang van vogels. De supermarkt is op vijftien minuten rijden met de auto. Aan de overkant van de weg ligt een ander soort terrein — het doet denken aan een savanne. Het terrein rondom het chalet is bezaaid met verschillende bomen, vooral dennen.
