In the middle of the growing green in the summer months or the thick packs of snow in winter, our traditional chalet is located in the Belgian Ardennes. Surrounded by water from the wild stream in the garden and the untouched forests, you feel yourself here in a piece of real nature. The rivers Ambleve, Steinbach and the large Wolfsbuch are within walking distance, where you can swim, kayak or canoe. Close your eyes and hear nothing but water, birds, sometimes some crickets and possibly fanning the fire in the fireplace. Yet you find yourself in this mystical place within fifteen minutes drive from the lively and lively town of Malmedy where you can, if you like, seek out the crowds. A five minute drive away you will find the traditional village of Waimes with its supermarket, fresh bakery and possibly a pharmacy.

When you enter the house, you get what you expect when you think of a fairytale chalet in the Ardennes. With a burning stove in the middle surrounded by cozy large sofas and lazy chairs. Robust, wooden doors and paneling. Shot yacht on the wall and a burgundy open kitchen. The two bedrooms on the upper floor have been converted into spacious but cozy double and four-person beds, each with its own sink. On the ground floor you will find a luxurious suite with French doors that give you a great view outside. The chalet has an extra conservatory with open views to the outside where you see nothing but forests, water and air. In the house you will find two toilet rooms and a spacious, separate shower room. The house is surrounded by greenery. On the terrace you can enjoy good food in the summer and you walk into the private garden. The chalet has a spacious private area of ??approximately 800 square meters and runs into an immensely large nature reserve. Note: recently also fully renovated chalet 'Le Jacques 2', also available on the site of Micazu
