1. Abarolodge

Just because you’re in the middle of the remote wilderness, doesn’t mean your stay can’t be chic and stylish. At the Abarolodge, situated in Hannut, you can book this holiday home cabin that’s built out of wood - but looks like it can also belong in the glossy pages of Architectural Digest. What made us absolutely fall in love with Abarolodge is just the sheer amount of space you would get for a cabin.

‍

While some cabins tend to be snug for comfort, the Abarolodge is subtly expansive with 2 bedrooms (great for kids or groups of friends), a bathroom, a kitchen and even a living room - all within this cabin. Everything is designed with an admiration for the Scandinavian sleek style - minimalism done right so you can have the utmost space. This cosy cabin in Belgium has plenty of natural light since the living room is accessible with glass doors. But step right outside, and you can lounge on the terrace set, gaze up at the stars, or sit back for a calm dinner in the tranquil atmosphere.

Bonus: bedding and linens are all provided, fresh with every check-in!

2. Slow Cabins

Looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other? Or maybe just a solo weekend to unwind? Slow Cabins is not just a stay in an oasis of a magical minimalistic cabin, but a way to immerse yourself in the beauty of Belgian nature and hinterlands.

It’s part of the off-grid experience, as each location that Slow Cabins are located in their thoughtfully handpicked lands is meant to absorb you into a spectacle of nature.

‍

Sounds intriguing? That’s only half of it! Slow Cabins itself are wooden abodes designed with the utmost consideration to the environment and your surroundings. After all, the appreciation and love the Slow Cabins has for our planet is its own foundation - from ecologically designed and produced amenities, like how rainwater is used for showering and dishes, to the solar panels plugged in on its rooftops. Everything is crafted with minimum environmental impact in mind. Our team of editors love that with every stay in its cosy cabins in Belgium, Slow Cabins plant a tree. Yep - one booking means one new tree planted by Slow Cabins for their goal of net green added value!
