Welcome to our lovely nature house in the middle of the Kempen woods. Here you can enjoy the birds, endless walks and get away from all the daily noise. As soon as you leave the main road and drive through the sandy path into the woods you are in another world. Birds, frogs, deer and the rustling of the trees, this nature house is a real log cabin. Well insulated, with a warm interior and a sleeping loft for 4 people and a spacious sofa bed on the ground floor, it has a groundwater supply that is filtered. The water is drinkable after cooking and safe for washing and dishwashing. The power supply is through household batteries fed by solar panels supplemented by the generator. The small bathroom inside has a luxury shower cabin and a compost toilet. On the veranda you can sit dry and enjoy the wood-fired sauna. There is also a bbq and fire pit. In short, everything you need in a forest.

Nature and surroundings

The Belgian Kempen have an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails, and we have two mountain bikes available for your use during your stay. Furthermore, Bobbejaanland is nearby (15 minutes by car) and you can also canoe on the river Nete, store in Turnhout and eat out. Our favorite are the ice cream parlors in the area, which are open in summer and winter, and where you can also buy hot waffles. Herentals: A chic place with beautiful houses and a fine shopping street with nice cafes and restaurants. Kasterlee: Grab a pint on the square and eat a bite at one of the many restaurants Turnhout: A great place with a good center where both shoppers and those who love culture can have a good time. Antwerp: Just a half-hour drive from our home. A vibrant city with good parking on the outskirts. Visit during autumn the Pompoenfeesten in Kasterlee. A cozy cultural festival.

    Friendly owners and good communication.The cottage is cozy and large enough for two people and a dog. Location is nice in wooded area and the garden/fenced area is large enough so you experience enough privacy despite the neighbors. The porch is ideal for waking up with a cup of coffee in the morning. There are many hiking trails nearby so enjoy. If you like cozy and basic, this is a great place to unwind.

    Warm welcome with good explanations, the owners are very approachable and will certainly help you with any questions or wishes. Also nice that dogs are as welcome as people! The forest cabin itself is very cozy, everything you need was there, the sauna is a nice extra. worth repeating!

    A cozy forest cabin set in the middle of a piece of private forest, tall trees, whistling birds,...lovely. Around it you can quietly walk for hours through all the forest and heath paths. Beautiful surroundings. Even if you would not get out of the forest cabin, you still imagine yourself in a beautiful, peaceful environment.

What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
