Escape completely
&
find your inner peace
#timeout
After a productive week packed with objectives, deadlines, and workouts, the weekend is the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate. You're running low on energy, and although self-care is essential, it often gets sidelined by other commitments. A weekend getaway is exactly what you need—a brief escape from the daily routine. So, you start making plans: leave the city, seek some solitude, and let nature work its wonders.
It's Friday at 6 PM. You grab your keys, jump into the car, and make a quick stop at your favourite supermarket for some essentials—fresh bread, cheese, and a few bottles of wine for the evening ahead. With everything packed, you bid farewell to the city, the noise of the bustling streets fading away. The drive takes you through picturesque hills and tranquil countryside roads. Your GPS guides you to a small, winding path that veers off the main road—a muddy trail that signals the start of your genuine getaway.
There it is, hidden between the trees, totally disconnected, an old farmhouse breathing the slow pace of yesteryear. Bubbles cold in the fridge, and while you put on the fireplace, you hear a popping bottle. You put on your favorite jazzy playlist (Disney jazz maybe). Time for cheese, bread and a glass of wine and finally time to read that book you wanted to start for months ...

about us
We are only temporary guardians of historic estate
Hi!
We are Fred and Elke and we have a 19th-century cosy farmhouse located in the countryside close to Brussels, Ghent and Antwerp. We renovated our cottage over the last couple of months so it regained its splendour of yesteryear. We tried to restore it by only using antique and/or old (re-used or up-cycled) building materials without compromising on today’s comfort.
Our house is our happy place, it's next to a (humpy bumpy) private road in a forest which allows you to disconnect completely from a busy life and find your inner peace in the middle of nature.
