Come recharge your batteries in a cozy 100 m2 bungalow in a typical Kempen forest. Wake up to the chirping of the birds, spot a squirrel, have a cup of coffee. The bungalow is located in a dead-end forest road, away from all the hustle and bustle. Light the Green Egg barbecue or the Ooni pizza oven. We provide wood and all the supplies. At night, it's still really dark here! Sit by the fire pit and get cozy or watch a movie in the home theater. The bungalow can accommodate four people (up to six for a family with children). Our architect, Studio Ambacht from Antwerp, knows what the ideal forest bungalow looks like. What stands out is the modular concept with the retractable wall in the living room, the cozy corners everywhere and the right choice of materials. The icing on the cake? The master bedroom upstairs! Here you look straight into the treetops in the morning, as if you were in a tree house.Photos ©sennevanderven

Nature and surroundings

The woodland garden was ecologically reforested with local tree species and vegetation. You can romp here all day, or read a book in the shade of an oak tree. There are many hiking trails in the immediate vicinity. Discover the Visbeek Valley (7 km), one of Flanders' most valuable stream valleys, and nature reserve De Hoge Rielen (5 km). Or go swimming in recreation area De Lilse Bergen (4 km). From Gierle you can also easily discover some heritage gems. The landless colonies of Merksplas and Wortel (since 2021 Unesco World Heritage), the city of Turnhout (the Beguinage, the Castle of the Dukes of Brabant) are not far, and there is more! Half an hour by bike or 15 minutes by car and you are at the Nete, where you can enjoy a wonderful kayaking trip.

We were there in mid-March, still a bit chilly. So nice that we got the tip to pack slippers. In the immediate vicinity (10-15 minutes by car) many natural areas for walking. And a day in Antwerp is also great to do (about 40 minutes). Very pleasant email contact with Anton and Ellen with additional tips. We would love to come back again!

What a beautiful and tasteful, modern designed and decorated cottage in the green. Cleverly designed with rooms that you can close if desired. Everything very tastefully decorated and super neat and clean. Everything you need to enjoy cooking (incl. oven and dishwasher), a made (good) bed, linen, coffee and tea to a bottle of welcome bubbles that was waiting for us chilled! Through the large sliding doors across the entire width we could enjoy the chaffinches, robins and even squirrels at 3 meters distance.

The village of Gierle with 4 frituurs and a large AH is 5 minutes by car.In the evening we enjoyed watching movies (Netflix/HBO/VRT) with the beamer.In short, a wonderful midweek with peace, greenery and all the comforts.

The cottage has a calm and peaceful atmosphere and offers plenty of daylight and privacy during the day. In addition, it is fully equipped and we did not lack anything. Nice place to come back after a long walk in the immediate vicinity or carefree all day to play board games, a movie to watch or bird watching! Contact with the owners is good and ensure that you have any questions directly to them! Ellen and Anton, thank you very much for staying in your beautiful nature cottage, we enjoyed it and will definitely return!

Lovely place in the woods with plenty of privacy! Feels secluded yet within reach of surrounding villages. Fine opportunities for hiking in the area.
