Nature house in Retie
Antwerp, Belgium
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
Secluded forest cottage in the pine forest between Retie and Kasterlee, where silence and nature play the main role and at night an owl can sometimes be heard. The off-grid log cabin can accommodate 4 people and pets are welcome. There are two bedrooms with 2 double beds. You use filtered rainwater that you can also take hot showers with. The water is not officially tested as drinking water. There is a dry toilet. Electricity is generated via solar panels, which you can also use for cooking; when there is very little sunlight, there is a generator. The fenced off area of about 1500 m² is suitable for children and pets, who can roam freely here. Have fun logging, building cabins or, on hot days, take a refreshing dip in the nearby stream. Outside, enjoy a wood-fired private hot tub under the stars, a campfire area, dutch oven, large three-legged grill and barbecue. On the porch, even when it rains, you'll sit comfortably outside surrounded by the forest.
Nature and surroundings
In the Kempen surroundings full of sagas and legends you can make beautiful walks, visit abbeys and breweries or take long bike rides along Brabant hamlets, moors and forests or explore the adjacent MTB track. For children there is plenty to discover in the area such as the gnome mountain in Kasterlee, Bobbejaanland or the witches' walk further into the forest. Within walking distance you will find, among other things, the water mill where you can canoe and have a drink or, in summer, taste the artisanal ice cream. Several supermarkets are less than a 10-minute drive away.

Beautiful, quiet forest. So many fine bird sounds! Occasional hiker with his dog or mountain biker passing by, but that did not disturb our privacy at all. Cozy, comfortable, cozy house with good facilities. Were warmly welcomed with a card and bubbly! Wood was plentiful. Filtered rainwater top notch. Drinking water was taken care of. Hot tub was great. Really, chapeau!
Mooi, rustig bos. Zoveel fijne vogelgeluiden! Af en toe een wandelaar met zijn hond of mountainbiker die voorbij komt, maar dat verstoorde onze privacy helemaal niet.
Gezellig, comfortabel, knus huis met goede faciliteiten. Werden hartelijk verwelkomd met een kaartje en bubbeltje! Hout was er genoeg. Gefilterd regenwater top. Drinkwater was verzorgd. Hottub was geweldig. Echt, chapeau!We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful forest cottage. The atmosphere felt right away! Cozy and comfortable decor. Beds sleep well! A fine mattress and the gentle blowing of the trees or tapping of the rain and you are so gone. Every day we had fires that we crawled in front of with a book. And the hot tub under the stars was of course the icing on the cake. The owners are very friendly and helpful. 1 problem and he came right over to solve it. Fantastic!
Wij hebben een heerlijk ontspannen verblijf gehad in dit prachtige boshuisje. De sfeer voelde meteen goed! Gezellige en comfortabele inrichting. Bedden slapen goed! Een fijn matras en het zachtjes waaien van de bomen of tikken van de regen en je bent zo weg.
Elke dag hebben wij vuurtjes gestookt waar wij met een boek voor kropen. En de hottub onder de sterrenhemel was natuurlijk de klapper op de vuurpijl. Aan één stuk door genoten!
De eigenaren zijn ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. 1 probleempje en hij kwam direct langs om het op te lossen. Fantastisch!This text is automatically translated.
