About this property
Cozy forest house on the purple heath
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, a trampoline, and a fun go-kart.
Inside, the 3-bedroom layout balances rustic charm with modern comforts like free Netflix and free Disney+ channels, 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.
