We had a lovely time in the house staying with kids and granddaughter. Kitchen is well equipped. Interior is “in style’ or dated depending on your outlook but worked for us. Great location in forest, generous terrace and massive grounds.

Lovely tranquil location. Plenty of space throughout the property. The décor is a bit dated.The kitchen is well equipped.The satnav didn't quite take us to the property, however, some cyclists were very helpful, for the last 500m.

Great stay in a house of character

The house is steeped in character. There is plenty of space inside and outside. Especially liked the garage to store our bikes in, and games for the kids, table tennis etc. Never had the TV on all week, weather was fabulous. Lots of walks / bike trails in the Pannenhoef.

Een bijzonder huis op een bijzondere plek, midden in het bos met enorm veel privacy. Het huis is netjes en heeft een eigen stijl die past bij het huis. Veel ruimte en er is nagedacht over wat je allemaal nodig kan hebben bij het verblijf. De enorme lap grond zorgen voor heel veel privacy terwijl je zo het bos in kan lopen om te wandelen of als je fietsen meeneemt gelijk kan genieten van de prachtige fietsroutes in de omgeving. De eigenaar en contactpersoon reageren heel snel op vragen en alles is prima verzorgd. Een aanrader!

Prachtig sfeervol huis.Prima contact met de eigenaar. Hij reageert snel. Dank voor de gastvrije welkomstattentie.Keuken wat verouderd, oven en kookplaat prima. Heel fijn dat er een wasmachine aanwezig is.Uitgebreid servies in de kast in de eetkamer.We hebben genoten van de ruime tuin, gebruik gemaakt van de tafeltennistafel, onze kleindochter heeft geschommeld, en de hond kon heerlijk rennen. Was echt fijn.Hartelijk dank voor de gastvrijheid.

Erg mooi gelegen ,perfect voor wandelaars. Het huis was schoon en authentiek. Een paar opmerkingen: het berghok met containers, die waren overvol en smerig. Div. lampen waren stuk en kraantje van toilet in beneden slaapkamer is lek.Van het huis en uitzicht hebben wij genoten.

Heerlijk verblijf in het authentieke jachthuis. Met een eigen oprijlaan naar het huis waan je je even terug in de tijd. Midden in het bos voor mooie wandelingen, maar ook als uitgangspunt om Brabant en omgeving verder te ontdekken. Wij hebben het heerlijk gehad!

Super geslaagd lang weekend met Hemelvaart gehad

We hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf op de Arendsberg. Niet alleen door onze geweldige vrienden, maar zeker ook door de locatie zelf en de omgeving. Heerlijk in de directe omgeving kunnen wandelen met de hond. Wat een vrijheid voor de hond in de mega omheinde tuin. Het was heerlijk om aan te komen rijden over het pad en het huis dan te zien liggen.

Schönes Wochenende mit Freunden

Zusammen mit Freunden haben wir ein schönes Wochenende im Haus und Umgebung verbracht. Das Haus ist etwas skurril, halt ein Forst- oder Jagdhaus mit der entsprechenden Dekoration. Es gibt genug Platz für alle. Die Betten sind gut, die Bäder alt, aber sauber. Die Umgebung lädt zum wandern oder Fahrrad fahren ein. Wir haben an einem regnerischen Samstag Rotterdam besucht. Es war ein schönes Wochenende, vielen Dank.

Heerlijk authentiek verblijf in het groen

Heerlijk om zo te midden van het groen en de fluitende vogels mijn 50ste verjaardag te vieren. Wij hebben genoten van de omgeving, zalig zitten buiten op het terras…maar ook de eetkamer is een geweldige plek om samen te vertoeven. De bedden liggen heerlijk, het sanitair is wat verouderd en basic maar alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Prachtige wandelingen starten meteen als je buiten stapt, prachtige omgeving. Het contact met de host verloopt vlekkeloos…Wij hebben genoten van begin tot het einde…een aanrader!

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in this family house, which was built by a granduncle.

Why they chose this property

Here, you can truly rest while several cities are at your fingertips! There are wonderful hiking and biking options. You can enjoy nature, as well as the Burgundian Belgian lifestyle and the famous Brabant hospitality.

What makes this property unique

There are no neighbours apart from the birds and the forest animals. The characteristic rural house offers many inside and outside spaces and a large forest garden with several possibilities for children to play. It sits in the middle of a rural area with a lot of hiking and biking paths. You will have plenty of privacy and nature at affordable rates.
