Welcome to our outdoor retreat on the edge of the Lembeekse Bossen! Whether you’re a nature lover, forest bather, forager, or outdoor chef, you’ll find everything you’re looking for here. We’re committed to biodiversity and positive interactions between people and the environment. Inside the chalet, you’ll find a cozy living space with a wood stove, compact yet comfortable kitchen and bathroom, and a bedroom overlooking the garden and fields. On the shelf, you’ll find a curated selection of books, games, and handmade ceramics. In the permaculture garden and the food forest, there are year-round delicacies to forage: herbs, perennial vegetables, tubers, berries, fruit, and mushrooms. The chickens provide a fresh egg every day. You can get to work outdoors with your harvest—in the covered kitchen unit, at the clay oven (for pizza or bread), or at the open fire pit with a three-pronged poker. The swimming pond offers summer refreshment or winter thrills (perhaps after a visit to the wood-fired sauna). Or you can simply sit back and peacefully observe the wonderful aquatic life from the terrace.
Nature and surroundings
The Lembeek forests are just a stone’s throw from Ghent. A private road running alongside the property gives you direct access to hours of hiking fun and nature experiences. Situated on a historic drifting sand ridge, you’ll first encounter a landscape of coniferous forests (with scattered remnants of heathland). Gradually, the landscape transitions into a more humid, older deciduous forest (Kwadebossen) with a more diverse array of flora and fauna. Species already spotted include: the kingfisher, the black woodpecker, families of roe deer, and rare mushrooms. The Drongengoedbos, Het Leen Arboretum, the creek area, and the Dutch coast are also nearby. This nature house is located between the villages of Sleidinge and Lembeke (Kaprijke). In addition to the regular selection at local supermarkets, you’ll find a few great spots nearby for local delicacies. There’s a weekly farmers’ market in Kaprijke on Saturdays. A bus runs every hour and from Ghent. The bus stop is nearby, just 80 meters from the property.

A magical, unforgettable weekend. The swimming pond is the icing on the cake
Een magisch niet te vergeten weekend. De zwemvijver is de kers op de taart
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful place. The weather was fantastic, so we were able to use the outdoor kitchen the whole time. The swimming pond is so beautiful—even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Because of the tropical temperatures, we made the most of it. We slept in the container itself instead of in the cottage because we found it too hot, and we also had a really nice view from there of the swimming pond and even the chickens on the other side. We really enjoyed this beautiful spot. I can imagine that in rainy weather the experience would have been completely different, and you really get the most out of it when the weather is nice. But all temperatures and seasons have their charms. We really enjoyed it. Thank you, David, for sending us all the details right after booking and for the smooth communication. In a word, it was a magical weekend for us. Thank you
We hebben een heerlijke tijd beleefd op deze prachtige plek. We hadden fantastisch weer waardoor we de buitenkeuken hele tijd konden gebruiken. De zwemvijver is zo prachtig. In het echt nog mooier dan op de foto's.. door de tropische temperaturen heel erg veel gebruik hiervan gemaakt. Wij hebben in de container zelf geslapen ipv in het huisje zelf omdat we het te warm vonden en we bovendien een heel mooi uitzicht hadden van daaruit op de zwemvijver en zelfs aan de andere kant op de kippen. Heel erg genoten van deze prachtige plek. Ik kan me wel voorstellen dat bij regenweer de beleving totaal anders zou geweest zijn en je echt er het meeste uit kan halen bij mooi weer. Maar alle temperaturen en seizoenen hebben zijn charmes. Heel erg genoten. Dank je wel David om direct na boeking alles duidelijk door te sturen en de vlotte communicatie. In 1 woord het was voor ons een magisch weekend. Dank je wel

The entrance is a little hard to find, but that’s also a sign of the privacy you’ll enjoy. It’s lovely to open the French doors to the garden and enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to the birds singing.
The bed is built about 1 meter off the ground, so it’s quite a climb—though it’s manageable with a chair. You’ll need to be physically able; otherwise, it won’t work. The surroundings are peaceful, with a small wooded area to walk through. Unfortunately, I had to head home early, but I definitely plan to come back at least once.Ingang is een beetje moeilijk te vinden, maar is ook meteen indicatie voor de privacy. Lekker, openslaande tuindeuren open en genieten van een kopje koffie en de vogelgeluiden.
Bed is op ongeveer 1 meter hoogte gebouwd en is wel een stuk klimmen, wat via een stoel goed te doen is. Je moet geen beperkingen hebben, dan lukt het niet. Omgeving is rustig, stukje bos om in te lopen. Moest helaas eerder naar huis, maar ben van plan om zeker een keer terug te komenIt’s a very pleasant place—quiet, with nothing but the sound of birds. The cottage is fully equipped. There’s a natural garden with all kinds of plants that can be used for medicinal purposes. The owner has built this up over the course of four years—kudos to him.
Het is een erg plezierige plek, rustig, je hoort alleen de vogeltjes. Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. Er is een natuurtuin met allerlei planten die men medicinaal kan gebruiken. Eigenaar heeft dit in 4jaar tijd opgebouwd, complimenten.

Very beautiful and nice cottage
Heel mooi en fijn huisje
Very nice cottage and a beautiful garden. In the kitchen everything available. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and could not enjoy the nature and garden. Surrounding villages are not necessarily worth a visit. Sauna and swimming pond are lovely. The only drawback is the lack of curtains in both living room and bedroom, this makes you wake up early and feels like little privacy. Host is incredibly nice and fine in communication. Outdoor kitchen was very nice.
Erg fijn huisje en een prachtige tuin. In de keuken alles aanwezig. Helaas veel regen gehad en weinig kunnen genieten van de natuur en tuin. Omliggende dorpjes zijn niet perse de moeite waard voor een bezoek. Sauna en zwemvijver zijn heerlijk. Het enige nadeel is het ontbreken van gordijnen in zowel woonkamer als slaapkamer, hierdoor wordt je vroeg wakker en voelt het als weinig privacy. Gastheer is ontzettend aardig en fijn in communicatie. Buitenkeuken was heel fijn.
