The place is the brainchild of Tim and Toon, 2 passionate Belgian entrepreneurs who have been active in architecture and tourism for many years. Concerned about the scarcity of resources and the well-being of our planet, they came up with this innovative concept. The architecture is minimalist, designer and perfectly integrated into the environment.
Here are the homes to discover:

5 - Lodge - By the river - Mirrored walls - Large windows overlooking the water - Photo - 💧
The 6 cottages are spread over 16 hectares of plains and forest not far from the Magerotte family farm (one of Belgium's best butchers), which raises pigs in a high-quality environment. From the cottages, you can see the pigs grazing peacefully. Rest assured, the spaces are vast and there is little, if any, olfactory nuisance.
In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast (optional when booking). On the menu: Viennese pastries, bread, fresh fruit, cheeses, cold meats, fruit juices and hot drinks.
For your meals, if you're staying in a chalet, you can order a meal box inspired by the recipes of chef Toon De Bock. The meat comes from the Magerotte butcher's shop. You can cook it indoors or on the barbecue outside. A vegetarian box is also available.
Alternatively, opt when booking for a BBQ, raclette or beef ragout packed lunch. Several local beverages are also available: Belgian champagne, cider from the Magerotte farm, local apple juice, local apple and cherry juice, local beers or local fruit beers.
Ecology is a real priority here. Local skills, the absence of single-use plastics, natural products and seasonal foods are all favored. The chalets were built from the wood of former barns and stables. What's more, the accommodation is heated by a wood-burning stove, fuelled by locally harvested wood.
The 6 cabins are located in the woods near Marche-en-Famenne, between the Ourthe and Lesse valleys in the Ardennes. Nearby are Durbuy, Rochefort and Nassogne, where the 6 cabins are set in a rolling landscape of forests and meadows.
Finally, the 3 River Lodges are located 1h15 from Marche-en-Famenne, on the banks of the Hantes River, close to the historic town of Beaumont. The river crosses the region in a peaceful, green setting, perfect for a relaxing stroll.
