Weekend Away in Holland The Kempen Forest Cabin
Get away. Not far, but far enough. Holland is so much more than Amsterdam and the Kempen region in Noord-Brabant proves it. The Kempen Forest Cabin is a warm, wooden retreat in the heart of the forest: with an infrared sauna, a veranda with a hammock chair and a surrounding area that always has something new to offer. Available for a short or long weekend for couples looking to recharge, families wanting to spend time outdoors, and friends in need of a proper escape.
Holiday in Holland
Holland surprises: especially in the Kempen
Most people think of Holland and picture canals, tulips and Amsterdam. But the Netherlands has another side entirely: quiet, green and surprisingly varied. The Kempen in Noord-Brabant is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Holland: vast forests, heathland, local farms and day trips that suit every taste. Nature walks, cycling routes, world-class theme parks and authentic Brabant hospitality, all within easy reach of the cabin.
And from most of Europe, it’s just a short drive away. No airports, no transfers, no fuss. Just arrive and enjoy.
What The Kempen Forest Cabin has to offer
-
Infrared sauna: step straight from the forest walk into the warmth.
-
Veranda with hammock chair — good for at least one coffee too many.
-
Fully equipped: from the kitchen to the bed linen, everything is taken care of. Just arrive and enjoy.
-
Separate bedroom for the children and a travel cot for the smallest guests.
-
Warm, cosy atmosphere: natural wood, warm lighting and soft textures. It feels like home only better.
A weekend away for two in Holland
Wake up without an alarm. Breakfast on the veranda. A long walk through the forest, followed by a session in the sauna. In the evening, cook together in a fully equipped cabin or head out to one of the lovely local restaurants nearby.
Just the two of you, the quiet of the forest and the luxury of having nowhere to be.
The children running wild in the forest while you finally catch your breath. The area offers enough to fill two full days: cycling, feeding animals, eating pancakes and spotting wildlife at sunrise. And in the evening, when everyone is happily worn out, the sauna is waiting.
A family weekend in the Netherlands
A weekend away with friends in Holland
Four friends, one forest cabin, one weekend — that’s a proper reset. The Kempen Forest Cabin sleeps up to four and is perfect for a friends’ getaway or a girls’ weekend in Holland. Explore the Kempen by day, cook together and catch up over candlelight in the evening. The sauna is there for whoever wants it. No schedule, no rush.
