Looking for a peaceful getaway with your family or partner? Then a stay at Nutchel is highly recommended.You’ll stay in a cosy and charming cabin, free of unnecessary luxury but full of simple charm and pure warmth.
You’ll have to keep your cabin warm with a wood stove yourself (firelighters and wood are available on-site). There’s no fridge, but you can store your food in an insulated box with cooling elements (available at the supply cabin on the premises).

Location and accommodation options
Nutchel has two locations:
Nutchel Alsace (France)
Nutchel Les Ardennes (Belgium), located near the border with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
We opted for a three-day stay in the Ardennes—an ideal escape from daily life.
Enjoy pure cosiness in your cosy cabin
An amazing glamping experience in Belgium
You can choose from different cabins, accommodating between two and six people. Some cabins are even pet-friendly!Want a touch of extra luxury? Then book the Tree Trunk Hot Tub, Classic Hot Tub, or Sweet Hot Tub cabin. What could be better than soaking in a hot tub in the middle of nature?
Prefer a spectacular view? Opt for the Canopy treehouse, where you can enjoy a panoramic view from your rooftop terrace. All cabins feature large windows with breathtaking views of the surrounding nature.
What we loved most about our cabin was its cosy decor. Oil lamps and candles add to the warm atmosphere, and both inside the cabin and on the terrace, you’ll find beautiful string lights that create a magical glow.The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove with two burners, and there’s a BBQ on the terrace. Coffee is made the traditional way in a Bialetti percolator on the gas stove.
Tip: Fill the kettle with water and place it on the wood stove so you always have warm water for tea or washing up. You can also use it to fill a hot water bottle to keep warm at night!
Comfort in the bathroom
Although the cabins embrace simplicity, you won’t have to compromise on basic comfort. The bathroom includes a warm shower and a flushing toilet. A heated towel rack is also provided—a welcome feature, especially in colder months when the cabin can get chilly at night.
