This off-grid cabin is located in a secluded spot within one of the many nature properties managed by Kempens Landschap, specifically the Franscicanessen Property. Guests are free to wander anywhere within the entire Franscicanessen property, but should keep in mind that the larger property is also open to the public and may be visited by the occasional hiker. This unique accommodation offers guests the chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature. This 32-square-meter cabin is built entirely from sustainable materials and features large windows that offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, guests will find a cozy and comfortable living space complete with a wood stove, a fully equipped kitchenette, a comfortable double bed, and a stylish bathroom with a dry toilet and a hot shower. This cabin is the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat and a chance to reconnect with nature.

Nature and surroundings

Barely 20 minutes from downtown Antwerp, yet right in the heart of nature. Here, you can slow down, surrounded by lush forests, charming farmhouses, and winding country roads. Here, you’ll wake up to sunlight streaming through the window, the scent of spring in the air, and the magical spectacle of birdsong. This cabin is situated on the edge of a vast nature park. The Kalmthoutse Heide, one of the oldest and largest nature reserves in Flanders, is also nearby. This nature reserve is a rare remnant of the once-vast European heathland landscape. You can discover the rich and rare flora and fauna along numerous beautiful hiking and biking trails. Furthermore, De Kempen hides many hidden gems, such as castle tours, mystery trails filled with folk tales, and historic smuggling paths that stretch across the border. P.S.: During dry summer days, we ask that you be especially careful with water usage (max. 2-minute shower per day)—during the winter months, extra attention is needed regarding energy consumption.

    I would love to go back again. Preferably back in the winter months, to enjoy the dark again.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This is everything you expect from a slow cabin in Flanders. I didn't expect absolute silence or total solitude, because -fair is fair- I didn't get that either with the Bredabaan a little bit away and the walkers close to the cottage that especially my dog got a little nervous sometimes. But I did get the peace of a friendly aging forest and of living to the rhythm of nature. A total power out I did not expect, but did get because the sun did not show itself on these bleak winter days. (Shout out to Xavier for the TOP support in turning on the emergency generator!) And I was glad for the rain to shower and wash dishes. That rhythm brought me closer to myself and invited me to slow down even more. Sleeping with the moon on your face, taking morning walks in the beautiful surroundings, resting in the afternoon to finally read that book and stopping when it gets too dark to look into the dancing flames of the warm stove.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
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.
