Our stay
We stayed at Wood & Lakes and it was an absolutely exquisite evening and overnight stay. We were able to chat with the owners, light the fire, admire the beauty of the facilities, try out the lakeside Jacuzzi and watch a film in the small private cinema room.
On site, Thibault and Christina offer you a warm welcome to the estate. They'll accompany you on a guided tour and then let you take possession of the premises in complete tranquillity. Communication is possible in French, English or even Norwegian. Depending on your arrival time, you can enter your cottage on your own using the keypad.
The chalets
Wood & Lakes is home to 2 chalets: The Koselig and the Hytta. The Koselig is the one we tested. The 2 cottages are well spaced out and your privacy is totally respected. There's also the owners' house a little further away, but this doesn't get in the way at all.
The interior design is Scandinavian-inspired. You'll enjoy the following facilities: fully equipped modern kitchen, bathroom with Italian shower, spacious bedroom with magnificent lake view, large living room, cocooning gas stove, mezzanine with massage table and small private cinema room (upstairs) with large screen and 2 comfortable armchairs.
Outside, a large terrace awaits you, with a private Jacuzzi (covered) and a private pontoon on which you can paddle and canoe. When the weather's fine, you can enjoy a refreshing swim. The water is very clean.
Behind your chalet, on the edge of another small pond, you'll also find a sauna. This one is located at the edge of the wood, with a panoramic view. It has to be shared with the occupants of the other cottage, but that's no problem at all.
Catering
In the morning, it is best to go shopping in the village: there are 3 bakeries within walking distance. There is also tea and a Nespresso coffee machine with capsules included in the cottage.
For lunch and dinner, there are several restaurants within walking distance. We recommend the Petit Mont Rigi (refined, creative cuisine, a real favorite) and the more relaxed Bar à Bout des Charmilles, with its pretty, authentic setting.
Location
You are in the small village of Sourbrodt, just a few minutes' walk from the Hautes Fagnes Nature Park.
If you’re looking for a nice hike, we recommend setting “Signal de Botrange” as your destination on your GPS. It’s the highest point in Belgium. From the parking lot, there are several trails that take between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the loop you choose. These moors, dotted with ancient marshes and wooden boardwalks, offer a remarkable variety of landscapes! We come here for a walk at least twice a year.
After your walk, we recommend stopping for a bite to eat or a drink at Peek Beer, just a 2-minute drive away. This quintessentially Belgian brewery offers a wide selection of beers and quality dishes in a super cozy atmosphere. It features a large picture window with a panoramic view of the Fagnes. There’s an outdoor terrace. It can get pretty noisy, but that’s part of the place’s charm. Be sure to make a reservation in advance.
Malmedy, with its many outdoor dining areas and restaurants, is a 15-minute drive away. And the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack is 25 minutes away.
