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

Fantastic surroundings, a good base for activities. The apartment is very basic which is fine in itself. However, it would be nice to renew the beds, I have bruises on my thighs. The mat on the porch and the stairs is worn in t...

Beautiful location and surroundings. Rural access. Very safe environment for the dog we had brought with us. In tropical temperatures, it can get very hot inside. Nice managers with nice group walk (optional).

Lovely quiet area. Seen and walked a lot in the area. We were surprised at how high the water was during the floods. Hopefully, the municipality of Durbuy will better...
