We were lucky enough to spend 2 nights there, and our stay was a real change of scenery. We were able to walk in the woods, build a fire, prepare a nice barbecue on the terrace and even bathe in the Nordic bath (maintained at 38°C all year round) at the top of our cabin with a panoramic view of the whole forest!

When you arrive on the estate, you cross a bridge and can leave your car in the private parking lot. You're always warmly welcomed by a member of the team in the estate's main hut. Communication is possible in French, Dutch, German or English. We'll explain everything you need to know about your stay.

In the main hut, there's also a small grocery store to stock up on supplies, a fire pit and a lovely terrace for a drink. If you've ordered breakfast or a barbecue basket, this is the place to pick it up.

Now head for your cabin in the forest estate. Look at this map of the estate to find your way. The main entrance is at the top of the picture, near the parking lot. We had cabin no. 11 on the map and highly recommend it.

Depending on the cabin you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: interior design by Dille & Kamille, kitchenette with gas stove, wooden cooler as mini-fridge, coffee machine, bathroom with toilet and shower, comfortable king or queen size bed depending on the cabin, wood-burning stove, Nordic bath, outdoor terrace, barbecue and chairs by Lafuma.

A true hygge experience awaits you during your stay: oil lamps, candles, a good book to read, plaids, a hot water bottle, a cup of tea and a large bay window to admire the surrounding forest. Magical, especially when it's raining or snowing outside. Hygge is a word of Danish origin referring to a feeling of well-being and a warm atmosphere.

By the way: there's everything you need to build a fire in your cabin's wood-burning stove. A supply of wood is ready on arrival, and you can also fetch wood from 2 wood sheds in the heart of the estate.

Dogs are welcome. But there are 2 conditions: you must book a Classic cabin, and you must purchase a €30 package per dog for the duration of your stay. This package includes a basket, a bowl, a small welcome snack and a few recommendations for dog-friendly walks. They'll be super happy here.
