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

Beautifully located holiday home. Only downside was, that there was a cottage below ours rented. We didn't know we had some kind of upstairs apartment. This turned out to be quite noisy. Our downstairs neighbors were "bothered"...

We enjoyed everything immensely. We stayed in house number 6. A big advantage was that we had access to a huge piece of garden. During our week there was a heat wave. Immediately a fan was brought. The beautiful Ourthe brought ...
