This stay centers around a cozy, fully equipped forest house tucked away in a peaceful silence area in Oud-Turnhout, where up to five guests can wake up surrounded by woods and purple heath. It is an ideal getaway for hikers, cyclists, and dog owners, sitting within walking distance of the "De Liereman" nature reserve, the Bels Lijntje cycling path, the Netherlands-Belgium smuggling route, and Wortel Kolonie. The home features a large, wild, and entirely enclosed garden where pets are warmly welcome, alongside two terraces, ample parking, a sandpit, playground equipment, and a fun go-kart.
Inside, the 3-bedroom layout balances rustic charm with modern comforts like streaming services, a book library, board games, and air conditioning for summer. For cooler days, the living room is warmed by both a traditional wood stove and a smart pellet stove. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and espresso machine, while the bathroom offers a deep bathtub, an indoor shower, and a hot/cold outdoor shower. Nearby, you can explore the local dining and shops in Oud-Turnhout, visit the museums and terraces of Turnhout, or plan day trips to Tilburg and Bobbejaanland.
Please note that barbecues and open fires are strictly prohibited due to the protected nature reserve location, and the smart pellet stove operates exclusively from October to April. Additionally, a cot and high chair are available for families, up to two pets are welcome, and excessive energy or water consumption may incur extra charges.
