Christmas holiday in a cosy forest cabin in The Netherlands
Celebrate Christmas in our cosy wooden forest cabin with a sauna, surrounded by nature
Looking for a peaceful spot for the Christmas holidays in The Netherlands? De Kempen Forest Cabin (Boshuisje de Kempen) is a charming wooden holiday cabin nestled among the trees with a wonderful sauna, veranda, and a warm interior that perfectly suits the festive season. Here, you can experience Christmas just as it was meant to be: far away from the bustle, surrounded by wintry nature, with plenty of time for each other during long, cosy evenings indoors.
Enjoy the wintry atmosphere at Boshuisje de Kempen
In winter, our woodland cabin takes on a charm entirely of its own. We make it extra cosy with warm blankets and fairy lights on the veranda. In December, the twinkling Christmas tree provides that true festive feeling.
After a brisk woodland walk, you can warm up wonderfully in the infrared sauna, complete with a soothing view of the natural garden. Alternatively, curl up on the sofa with a book and a cup of tea while the rain or snow taps gently against the windowpane.
If you are looking to recharge in nature, this forest cabin in The Netherlands is your ultimate winter retreat.
Perfect for families with little ones
Our forest cabin sleeps 1 to 4 guests plus a small child or baby (up to 3 years old). There is a separate bedroom for the children and a peaceful spot for babies, complete with soft furnishings and handy amenities. It isn't a large-scale holiday park, but it is set up to be very child-friendly, meaning parents can truly relax, too.
Magical winter outings for the whole family: Winter Efteling and the Beekse Bergen Light Safari
From your oasis of peace in the Kempen, you are just a short trip away from wonderful winter festivities. Make unforgettable memories during an enchanting day out at Winter Efteling (a 30-minute drive), or admire the spectacular Light Safari at Safaripark Beekse Bergen, which is practically around the corner. After a day full of twinkling lights, mulled wine, and cold noses, it is a joy to come 'home' to your very own warm forest cabin.
Winter walks straight into the Brabantse Kempen
In December, the Brabant countryside often transforms into a magical winter wonderland. The moment you step out of the front door, you can wander straight into the vast woodland. Imagine the scent of pine trees, frost on the branches, and the crisp winter air. Discover the walking trails around the Landgoed de Utrecht estate, or take a stroll to the nearby fens. Afterwards, it is time to head back and enjoy the snug warmth of the cabin.
Unwind completely in the infrared sauna
The dark days around the Christmas holidays call for pure relaxation. After a brisk outing in the fresh air, warm up wonderfully in your private infrared sauna. Afterwards, curl up on the sofa under one of the cosy blankets next to the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. No obligations and no screens—just time at last for a good book, playing board games, and catching up with one another uninterrupted.
