Just under a 4-hour drive from Utrecht, this cozy 6-person vacation home is situated on 6,000 m² of private land with stunning views, right in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Ardennes. It is a spacious, single-story home with several lovely areas, including a large kitchen-diner, a sunroom with a stunning panoramic view, a cozy living room with a SMART TV, a porch, and a terrace. There are also two cozy wood stoves (central heating is also available) and comfortable Auping beds for a restful night’s sleep. With Wi-Fi, ample parking, and plenty of nature all around, this is the ideal place to relax. The fully equipped kitchen features a 4-burner gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a DeLonghi Nespresso machine. The house has a full bathroom with a shower stall, two sinks, and a toilet. Enjoy the peace and quiet, the birds of prey, the squirrels, the deer, and the beautiful birdsong from all the birds found in and around the garden. The beds will be made for you upon arrival.

Nature and surroundings

The French Ardennes are diverse; they feature stunning natural scenery with unique flora and fauna, beautiful rock formations, picturesque villages such as Monthermé and Rocroi, the historic city of Charleville-Mézières with its beautiful Place Ducale, more than 1,000 kilometers of nature trails for hiking, the winding Meuse River with newly constructed bike paths, and Europe’s largest fortress in Sedan—it’s all within reach. Visit the cozy restaurants serving regional culinary specialties, or head to Lac des Vieilles Forges (a 150-hectare lake nestled in the woods), where you can enjoy a wide range of adventurous outdoor activities. It’s also a true paradise for motorcyclists, and with over 400 km of MTB trails across four difficulty levels, mountain biking is a blast. A less touristy alternative, ideal for those seeking peace and quiet and authentic charm. It’s a versatile region that appeals to those seeking peace and quiet, nature lovers, and active vacationers alike.

    General rating: 10 /10

    Not only is the house itself a wonderful place to stay, but it’s also centrally located for a wide range of activities. In the immediate vicinity, you’ll find a splash pad and water slide park, a lake where you can swim, several castles, museums, and, of course, a vast area full of beautiful hiking trails.

    The garden is exceptionally large and offers plenty of space to play, walk around, or simply enjoy nature. It’s worth noting, however, that the grounds are slightly sloped and the grass isn’t flat. For small children, it’s a wonderful place to explore, but it’s less suitable for a game of soccer.

    Secheval itself doesn’t have a supermarket or any shops. During our stay, there was a baker on the square across from the church, but only between 9:00 and 10:30, and even then, it was sometimes a surprise whether he was already there or had already left. Fortunately, there are several supermarkets about a 10-minute drive away, so grocery shopping is no problem at all.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The house is located on the outskirts of Secheval and overlooks meadows and forests. The large garden is charmingly landscaped and offers a lovely outdoor seating area where you can sit in the sun for most of the day and evening. And if it gets a little too hot, just open the umbrella.

    The interior is spacious. In addition to three bedrooms and a bathroom, there’s a sitting room, a kitchen-diner, and a sunroom. The kitchen features a large table that’s perfect for drawing, crafting, or playing board games. The kitchen is also exceptionally well-equipped, with high-quality pots and pans and sharp knives that make cooking a real pleasure.

    Another nice touch: upon arrival, practical items such as dishwasher tablets, soap, and trash bags are already provided. There’s also a clear instruction manual (in English, French, and Dutch) explaining how the house works, including how to use the washing machine.

    Frieke was also quick to respond whenever we had questions, such as where we could go canoeing.
