Overall assessment
Suzanne Vessem
We enjoyed our stay with our dogs.
Very cozy, in the middle of the woods.
You can go for a lovely walk/hike.
Very friendly owners.
Owner living speaks French, English and a little Dutch.
The goats greeted us cheerfully at the house in the morning.
Don"t take good hygiene into account.
(This might be a point of attention and replacement of the sofa. Maybe leather for maintenance and hygiene).
We brought our own couch blankets and bedding. It was fine.
During the day you can go into the woods and in the evening you can all snuggle up by the fire.
For us absolutely come back again! Thanks for the hospitality, kind regards 😄🐾👍🏻

When we arrived we had to look for the owner, rather call from his home. The man finally came from his room, barely saying hello, and let us into the house. Without a single word of explanation he said voila, cest ca. And he was gone. No explanation, nothing. When I informed him that we could not drive to the driveway due to the snow, he said, 'Cest pas mon probleme monsieur'. Uhhh???
We didn't let it bother us and made our plan, but we soon discovered that the pots, cupboards, etc. were simply filthy. A cupboard still full of mold, it was really gone. The bath mat with stains, an underlay with burn marks, microwave with spaghetti remains.
Anyway. Twas about it. The house is really beautifully situated, and luxury is not necessary for us, so we made the best of it.
The reception was really bad, never experienced that before. Hygiene terrible, but .. the charm of the house and the snow made it a special experience.
Michel Slingerland
It is a nice authentic house with a lot of potential. Nevertheless, the interieur really needs an upgrade. It also wasn't really clean. But we made the best out of it, because the surroundings are beautiful. From the house you can make beautiful hikes and by car there are many nice villages nearby.
F.P Dillmann
The house was very unsanitary. Beds, mattresses, etc. very dirty. Bathroom full of mold. Pans and stuff the same
Astrid Tuithof
The cottage itself is very cozy and cozy in a beautiful setting.
However, the bathroom was black with mold. Also the heating kept going out. Owner has tried to do something about it but that didn't work very well
Thanks to the fireplace we had some heat, but in the early morning it was freezing cold. The boiler also regularly went out.
Strangely enough, the owner's house was nice and warm. As a result, the story of malfunction or water in the diesel boiler came across as very implausible.
We will therefore no longer book this house
Debora Bicqué
On arrival we had expected a word of explanation and the hygiene inside was not everything (dog hair on the floor, dust web here and there), but in terms of location it was top. We were quickly at our hiking trails that we liked to do. Good for a few nights
Michiel De Meurichy
Nice place right on the forest with beautiful hiking trails. It is fine for 2 people. I wouldn't do much more. The stairs to the top are a bit treacherous and the bed was a bit on the tight side for someone of 1.90 mtr, but of good quality. All amenities were there and even some kids on site. Definitely a place to recommend if you are not very spoiled for luxury.
Peter De Coster
Super quiet environment with a very accommodating host. You take small ailments with you! Top stay to relax. Worthy of recommendation.
Kris Monfils
Very quiet location in wooded area. Comfortable and well equipped. Really perfect to relax for the weekend.
Robbert Heldens
Great house for winter and late autumn. It seems less pleasant for the summer period because you have little privacy outside. Owner lives right next to the holiday home.
Hylke Maaren
A nice and cute house where you can spend the night with 4 people. Everything is just old and and sometimes in a bad state of repair. Now that is usually not so bad, but unfortunately it is actually not really clean. We only washed cutlery and plates before use, and there are stains in the sofa and even the curtains. The dining table and chairs simply need to be replaced and are actually not satisfactory. Furthermore, the location is great, you can park well and there is plenty of beautiful nature in the area for walking. It is also nice that the house can be warmed up quickly. Not unimportant in the fall and winter. I myself will not book this house again if it does not get the attention of the owner that it needs.
Marc Rooms
Quite pleasant, but due to the bad weather we left early: no disaster tourism for us!
Marc Moermans
cozy house and beautiful garden. Too bad that the shower tap could not be regulated in terms of temperature.
Verstraete Wim
Quiet wooded area, many walking routes with nice hidden seats. Seen a lot of wildlife. House is nice and cozy
Collart
Very restful stay, situation of the very calm and inspiring lodging. Lots of possibilities to undertake visits in the allontours
De Pooter Liese
Cozy holiday home in a very quiet and beautiful location. Ideal for a small family. Spacious garden and close to beautiful walks
Joachim Coenen
It was a beautiful house, quiet location. Well stocked. Chauffage works very quickly, children can play in the street. Bushy environment.
Kathy Kestier
very nice location, super friendly owner, lucky with the weather, being able to sit in the sun all day and in the evening we were allowed to make a fire in our fire basket just in front of our terrace, cozy fireplace in the house. tis a tiny house and not too clean
Bart
Had a wonderful stay Very friendly owner, beautiful location, Blessed with the fireplace!
Ingrid Meerschaege
Small house but cozy. We had a very nice weekend and fortunately it was very nice weather. Very friendly homeowner.
Yasmine Chougag
Beautiful surroundings! Highly recommended! Good quiet location but not far from Durbuy, etc. Beautiful walking routes less than 5 minutes from the cozy holiday home!
Karin Bell
It was a nice week in a beautiful setting. The owners are very friendly and discreet. The cottage itself could be refreshed. Everything was clean but outdated.
Marjan Stolwijk
Arrival fine. Cottage was nice and warm and the owner very nice and helpful Accommodation simple, everything was present. Neatly clean. Environment beautiful. We were lucky with the beautiful sunny autumn weather.
Natasha van Vooren
Nice house in a nice area. Welcoming and helpful owner. Many nice streams and beautiful nature. The first evening we saw a deer a few meters away from the cottage really great.
Jos van de Westerlo
Nice people, although their house is close by, we had a lot of privacy. We were also allowed to use the entire garden, among other things for setting up a bath and tent.
Augustin Simic
Very nice house to relax, the location is perfect. The owner is very nice and helpful. So we enjoyed it, especially the peace and the wonderful nature. Gladly again
A.p.a. Van Loo
Accommodation and surroundings were known, twice before. Small house, but great for me.
Gertie Ramakers
We were warmly welcomed by the landlord. The cottage was spacious and cozy. The kitchen well equipped and the fireplace a real plus. The area was beautiful and the weather worked well. The WiFi connection was unfortunately a bit less.
E.A. Schotanus
The environment was beautiful and fairytale. The windmill is located directly on a very nice walking route. We were very well received and the mix of friendliness and privacy was perfect. Lovely fireplace and very quiet and quiet.
Hakim Decaestecker
Harre is not far from other villages and the town of Durbuy and La Roche is not that far either.
Francois Henrard
Very nice little house, nice although not practical and not suitable for small children. Well located and charming garden. Very close to the owner.
Douwe Doevendans
Very nice information, the hostess / owner is very friendly.
Henk Van Rensen
It had rained a lot. The cottage was dark and damp. We had our dog with us. The cottage was in the middle of the woods, but there were hardly any hiking opportunities. Across the road was a steep path into the woods. the only step into the woods. Because of the rain, the water ran down the path like a stream. That later became better. No walking routes in the area

We have a long Easter weekend enjoyed this fantastic cozy and cozy cottage! It is a detached stone house with a large open garden. So have spent 4 days inside and outside only fires fires with omze son of 8. Very privacy of the sweet hostess gektegen and she even came on with sunchairs as soon as the sun began to shine. We are coming back. Small but very cozy! Thanks and love.
Zeravan Mohammad
Reception was super despite mrs. could not speak Dutch or English. Hospitality was top! If you go for nature then that is a must. Cottage was top and comfortable with a nice sfeer.Een recommended!
Franziska Hürlimann
A neat area and a very friendly landlady. Here and there, something wobbles in the house, but it is still ok. Highly recommended.
J.h. Van Eck
Super nice cottage located in beautiful surroundings. It is fairytale beautiful. In the garden there are all streams and waterfalls. We have been received by a very friendly and hospitable owner. The cottage is fully equipped. Also with a baby and a child of 2 years it is good to do it.
Rosa de Graaf
Beautiful woods to walk for hours of precious deer and rain and lots of rest
Sabine van Rooij
Lovely place. The cottage is in a very quiet area and that was exactly what we were looking for. We were kindly received. When we found out that the hot water in the bathroom did not work, something that of course can always happen, it was taken immediately and a mechanic stood an hour later on the sidewalk. There is not much to do in the village itself, but there are plenty of possibilities in the area. To relax, the house itself has plenty of space and nature. The cottage is right next to that of the owner but the surrounding grounds are so big that you can choose where you are, so you do not have to see each other if you do not want to.
Sofie Wittevrongel
Very friendly welcome. Beautiful cottage in a very quiet area.
Vincent Jacobs
Quiet and cozy holiday home for 1 couple (and max 2 children), very green. Numerous beautiful walks close by. Amenities okay.
Just Spoor
Beautiful setting, great reception. Easy to find and good parking. The cottage is special and is beautiful. The owner's cottage is right next door. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The decor is very cozy but would earn an update. Everything is a bit old now. The fireplace is fantastic, but the boiler does not make up for the same chimney. The bathroom is old but the shower is delicious. Everything is so small. Inside food with more than 2 people has been a bit of a deal. The steep stairs do not enter socks! The mattress of the large bed must be replaced as well as the pillows. The beds in the attic are a bit old. Staying with children under 3 is not convenient.
CGM Schenk
Prima arrival, reception. Nice old property. In a wooded area. Good food nearby. Unfortunately, little trout find ponds for fishing. Wifi did not. Mattress protector 2 pers. bed not clean. Pit in mattress.
Miranda Blomberg
We had a nice weekend at the cottage. Beautiful fireplace that we used a lot. However, the cottage is small. two people it is full. There is a second bedroom upstairs, the master bedroom (both reachable on narrow steep stairs) but you go through each bedroom. Children under 8 years old are those reasonable steps link. The mattresses are allowed to be replaced once they have potholes. The description says that there is wifi but it only works outside the cottage. Wifi is common with the owner in the house. The owner has taken an extra device but it was not functioning fully. The cottage is also quite dark. Few windows. Facilities are also good. You can into the woods from your cottage. The setting is lovely. Also nice little villages and towns in the area.
