All by yourself in one hectare of private forest Zwembos is an artist’s residence in Kasterlee for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle for a few days. The detached house is completely hidden among the trees and features a natural swimming pond, a private barrel sauna, a fireplace, a covered terrace, a barbecue, and a fire pit. Start your morning with a dip in the pond, read a book on the terrace, or take a walk straight from the property into the Kempen countryside. When darkness falls, the warmth of the sauna or the fireplace awaits. The grounds and all amenities are available exclusively for you. You’ll want to treat yourself to the luxury of a Nespresso coffee or a delicious cup of brewed coffee; with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, air fryer, toaster, gas stove, and gas BBQ, you can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen in complete comfort. In the surrounding area, you’ll also find delicious farm-fresh and local products, including vegetables, meat, and delicacies.
Nature and surroundings
Zwembos is particularly well-suited for two to four adults, two couples, a family with older children, or a small group of friends. It can accommodate up to six guests. The house is not a party venue, but a place for peace, togetherness, and inspiration. Art and nature permeate the entire property. Original artwork and quiet workspaces also make the house ideal for those who want to write, draw, reflect, or work on an idea without interruption. The center of Kasterlee is about three kilometers away. The Hoge Mouw, the Kleine Nete, hiking and biking trails, and various restaurants are nearby. Bobbejaanland and Turnhout are also easily accessible.

Fully equipped, right in the heart of nature. If you come here, you won’t need to go anywhere else—because you’re already there.
The cottage is nestled in the woods with a beautiful swimming pond nearby. You’ll find peace, space, and freedom here. The large property means you’ll truly spend your vacation deep in the woods. The wood-fired sauna provides a particularly pleasant warmth.
It’s an authentic cottage that’s been lovingly renovated and is equipped with all the amenities you need, including many thoughtful extras. The owner is very attentive.
If you’re looking for a wonderful spot surrounded by nature, I wholeheartedly recommend the Zwembos.Van alle gemakken voorzien, midden in de natuur. Als je hierheen gaat dan hoef je verder nergens meer naar toe, want dan ben je er al.
Het huisje staat in de bossen met een mooie zwemvijver erbij. Je hebt er rust, ruimte en vrijheid. Het is een groot perceel waardoor je echt in de bossen je vakantie doorbrengt. Doordat de sauna houtgestookt is geeft dit een bijzonder aangename warmte.
Het is een authentiek huisje dat met veel liefde is opgeknapt en van alle gemakken is voorzien met veel doordachte extra’s. De eigenaar is zeer attent.
Als je een heerlijke plek zoekt midden in de natuur, dan raad ik je het Zwembos van harte aan.The cottage is right in the middle of the woods—it's truly special.

It was a fun experience—the location and the surroundings.
Leuke ervaring erbij, de lokatie en omgeving.
It was a wonderful stay—peace, quiet, and freedom. There were fun activities nearby, with plenty to choose from. The house reminded us of our experience in Scotland—the setting and the space, plenty of luxury and extras like the sauna and the large gas barbecue.

Fantastic house. The location is the biggest plus: it really is your own special little spot.
Fantastisch huis. De ligging is het grote pluspunt: echt je eigen bijzondere plekje.
It gets off to a great start: you approach the cottage along a small forest path. Through the trees, you suddenly spot a treehouse and then the cottage itself. This already gives you a sense of its setting: in the woods, surrounded by plenty of open space and trees. It’s in a quiet location with plenty of space. It’s truly as beautiful as the photos suggest.
The cottage itself is fully equipped; they’ve thought of everything. The ground floor has a cozy atmosphere, and the bathroom and kitchen have been recently renovated with great attention to detail. The bedrooms upstairs are pleasant, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. It’s quiet at night, and in the morning, all you hear are the birds. There are more than enough beds. In our case, we wanted to use three bedrooms. The third bedroom is a sort of connecting room with a sofa bed. Outside, there’s plenty of space to sit in various spots. The highlights are, of course, the wood-fired sauna and the swimming lake. There are plenty of outings to enjoy in the area, and you can go for lovely walks right from the cottage itself.Het begint al mooi: je nadert het huisje over een bosweggetje. Tussen de bomen zie je opeens een boomhut en later het huisje verschijnen. Dit geeft al aan hoe het is gelegen: in de bossen, omringd door veel ruimte en bomen. Het is rustig gelegen met veel ruimte. Het ligt echt zo mooi als de foto's doen vermoeden.
Het huisje zelf is zeer compleet; aan alles is gedacht. De benedenverdieping is sfeervol, de badkamer en keuken recent gerenoveerd met sfeer. De slaapkamers boven zijn fijn en de bedden slapen heerlijk. 's Nachts is het rustig en in de ochtend hoor je alleen de vogels. Er zijn ruim voldoende bedden aanwezig. In ons geval wilden we graag drie slaapkamers in gebruik nemen. De derde slaapkamer is dan een soort tussenkamer met een bedbank. Buiten is er veel ruimte om te zitten op verschillende plekken. De pluspunten zijn natuurlijk de hout gestookte sauna en het zwemmeertje. In de buurt zijn voldoende uitjes te doen en vanuit het huisje zelf kan lekker wandelen.This text is automatically translated.
