The Smit family bought the Domaine Ecureuil (= de Eekhoorn) estate in 1997 and found the peace and space they were used to from the tropics. It's our place for the family. The family consists of 3 families and Smit senior with his wife. Together we enjoy nature and the environment there. The Ourthe, the cave on the domain and the road to it are very beautiful scenes. The beavers that have their nest along the Ourthe on the edge of our pasture are very special. To see them requires patience. Together they tackle different projects every year; these projects concern everything, including planting. The involvement is evident from the fact that a tree sometimes has a name. For example, we have Bartje, a spruce that struggles after planting

The stay was fine, the surroundings were brilliant, we found it a pity that there was no TV but we are very satisfied with the stay during our holiday.

Dear Wesley, Thank you for your review. We do not know the reason for the assessment of hygiene. No response from your side. Our caretaker usually does a very good job. We're going to get to work on it. Too bad for you and for ...

Nice location, quiet and you can walk nicely. The only downside is that it is very noisy if you have upstairs neighbors.

The surroundings are very nice and the accommodation is good. Ample parking. We found the double bed of 140 cm a bit too narrow. The access road to the domain is very bad, unfortunately we thought that was a big disappointment!...

Hi Wim and Nanda,

Nice to have met you. It always looked nice with you with Nanda who is fanatically crafting.
The road is a municipal, unpaved road, over which we unfortunately have no influence. Because of all...

The fly screens could use an update and for the rest everything was there to relax for 2 weeks. Beds were good. Nice shower. Maybe another tip. Insulate the floor of the upstairs neighbors because of the living noise.

Peace and space, green and active (if you want)
Studio has enough to save you, cooking a 4 course menu is a bit more difficult but hey, you're on vacation!!!!
Walk on the "domain" organized by the owners is wonderful,...

Upon arrival there was very thoughtfully a Christmas card, a small Christmas tree and a box of chocolates. The manager was friendly and punctual. Marion came to bring a Christmas piece, very sweet! The domain is beautiful, wi...
