Woodpecker Lodge is a luxury chalet, ideal for a romantic getaway, located in Waimes, near Malmedy, in the Liège region of the Ardennes in Belgium. It's a real cocoon in the middle of the woods, with a private Jacuzzi on the terrace and a wood-burning stove. Watch this video on Instagram and this one to get into the mood.
The price for one night is around €239 for 2 people. You can check availability on our partner's official website. Don't forget to mention Let's Go My Love when booking, it helps us enormously!
We stayed at Woodpecker and it was a truly rejuvenating getaway. The intimacy of the chalet in the middle of the woods and the cocooning atmosphere really appealed to us. We were able to build a fire, enjoy the jacuzzi, work on Let's Go My Love and chat over a glass of wine. A real moment of pleasure, especially with good music playing in the background.
Vincent, the passionate 25-year-old owner, built the chalet from A to Z with the help of his dad. After moving to Haute-Savoie to build mountain chalets, he thought it would be a shame not to find the unique charm of these homes in Belgium. And so the project was born. During construction, he was particularly keen to use ecological materials and local wood.
Today, Vincent is very responsive via Whatsapp if you have any concerns. He speaks French, English, German and a little Dutch. We're in constant contact contact with him to make sure the experience here is top-notch.
The chalet is located in the middle of fields, surrounded by magnificent deciduous trees. It overlooks the Amblève valley. The entrance is independent, using a secret code. One parking space is available. There are no close neighbors and no one can see you. It's really intimate, even from the jacuzzi on the terrace. That's something we really appreciate.
The chalet's facilities include a comfortable mezzanine bedroom with king-size bed, fully-equipped kitchen, Marshall audio speaker system, private bathroom with Meraki welcome products that smell wonderful, terrace with outdoor Jacuzzi and views of the surrounding countryside, and barbecue. No wifi.
The insulation has been very well done, so the temperature inside is very pleasant. In spring and summer, if you're building a fire, we advise you to leave the logs out for at least 2 hours before going to bed, otherwise you may feel a little warm in bed.
If it's raining or snowing outside, the atmosphere becomes magical! You have all the comforts of home at your disposal: cast-iron wood-burning stove with visible flame, plaidcocooning plaids and bathrobes, a plastic bin for your hiking boots when you return from the outdoors, candles, a few board games and a raclette machine.
There are plenty of drinks waiting for you in the fridge and kitchen: local gin from Ard'Gin, champagne, cava and some very good beers from the nearby Brasserie de Bellevaux. You can make your choice and leave the money on site.
Woodpecker is a real return to basics, a magical place if you like the rustle of the wind in the trees, the cows that sometimes come to say hello, the song of the birds in the early morning, the calm of the forest at dusk and the fire that crackles in the fireplace while it's snowing outside.
You are in the heart of the Amblève valley, not far from the Trôs Marets valley and the Bayon valley. By car, Malmedy is 5 minutes away and the Spa-Francorchamps circuit is 15 minutes away. Nearby attractions include Stavelot Abbey, Reinhardstein Castle and Lake Butgenbach.
