The Charm of Warredal’s Treehouse Belgium Retreat

My visit to their enchanting treehouse, a gem among their collection of off-grid tiny houses, was a journey back to the essence of living. Stripped to the essentials – a snug bed, a welcoming seating area, a compact yet functional bathroom, and a basic kitchenette. The experience in Warredal is a refreshing throwback to simpler times. The minimal use of electricity transforms the space into a haven of candlelight and soft lantern glow, creating a magical and intimate atmosphere.

A Journey into Serenity: No Wifi at Warredal

While you won’t find Wi-Fi here, the luxury of an optional hot tub under the stars more than compensates, offering a unique blend of rustic charm and understated indulgence. Located just at the border with the Netherlands, these cabins are not just accommodations. They’re gateways to a world where nature takes center stage, and life slows down to a peaceful, reflective pace.

Embracing the Silence: Warredal’s Tranquil Sounds of Nature

Finding a serene escape in Belgium, a country bustling with activity, seemed like a tall order. But my discovery of Warredal Cosy Cabins, was like unearthing a hidden gem. The calmness of the forest was a stark contrast to the constant hum of city life I was used to. There, surrounded by the gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional pinecone falling from above, I found a peace that city life rarely affords.

A Childhood Dream Revisited: Treehouse Adventures as an Adult

As a child, I always envied the boy next door – my cousin, who had his own treehouse. I recall sneaking in, transforming it into my little haven with wildflowers and makeshift curtains. Returning to a treehouse as an adult was a nostalgic journey. This time, it was less about playful escapades and more about reconnecting with myself, yet the excitement was just as palpable.

The Charm of Minimalist Living: Adapting to a Simpler Lifestyle

Living in the treehouse made me appreciate the beauty of minimalism. The absence of Wi-Fi and limited electricity meant my days were lit by candles and lanterns, making me realize just how much we depend on modern conveniences. Cooking was a challenge in the dim light, but it was an adventure in itself, teaching me to appreciate the simplicity and ingenuity of living with the bare essentials.

Navigating Practicalities: From Packing Essentials to Cooking Challenges

Packing for this trip was different. It wasn’t just about throwing in a few clothes and gadgets. I had to think about what was truly necessary – food essentials, chargers for the minimal electric supply, and, of course, considering accommodations for pets. Cooking in the treehouse, with its basic kitchenette, was a back-to-basics experience that felt refreshingly grounding.

What activities can guests enjoy when staying in a treehouse in Warredal, Belgium?

Revisiting Warredal’s many activities is like stepping into a playground designed for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. The Adventure Park is an absolute highlight, where you can unleash your inner Tarzan.

Imagine yourself scaling lofty heights, navigating through exhilarating climbing courses, and soaring across the landscape on a zipline – it’s a rush of adrenaline that’s hard to match! Each climb brings a new challenge, and each zipline ride offers a fresh perspective on the stunning forest canopy.

While the Adventure Park taps into your adventurous spirit, there’s also a midget golf course for those seeking a more laid-back activity. Personally, I found it less captivating compared to the high-energy thrills of the Adventure Park. It’s a classic, leisurely game, sure, but after the dynamic energy of climbing and ziplining, it felt somewhat underwhelming to me.

Glamping Packing Guide

The cabins don’t have that many plugs to charge your devices, so I found it very helpful to bring an extra flashlight for the trips so I could spare my phone battery.

Now let’s see what else was on my list:

Hiking shoes: I usually pack two pairs on a camping trip, just in case I get blisters or something happens to my first pair (heavy rain, for example). For this medium-distance hike in Warredal, I packed my Timberland. Considering I get cold feet when the floors are not isolated, I always pack a pair of fuzzy socks, no matter where I go.
Natural Mosquito + Tick repellant: Not all bug repellants you wear benefit your pets. Eucalyptus, for example, can harm your cat, while lavender can cause severe allergies. My local pharmacist recommended Para’kito Spray. It’s effective for mosquitoes and ticks. There were no chemicals or alcohol involved, so it replaced Deet in a second.
Sunglasses: a good old pair of classic aviators are all a girl can ever need on a hiking trip.
Hat: It’s not a secret that I love my hats. A good provides extra protection for your skin and hair. We often forget that. Two of my favorite brands are Will & Bear and Lack of Color. If I want to take them off during a hike, I clip them into my backpack and carry them that way with these clips.
Water bottle: To have a reliable water bottle is important, but it is essential that it also ensures the purity of the water. I personally use Larq water bottle, which not only has a stylish design but also comes with a built-in filtration system that eliminates up to 99% of bacteria. It proved to be very useful during my recent trip to Warredal.

Nature’s Symphony: Immersing in the Forest’s Calm

This treehouse in Belgium wasn’t just a place to stay; it was a journey into the heart of nature, a reminder of life’s simple pleasures, and a call back to the roots that ground us.
