What to do in Epen.

A stay in Epen begins every morning with a look outside. From the windows of Hoeve de Eik, your view stretches far across the Limburg hills. You pour a cup of coffee and step onto the terrace, where birds welcome the day. The surroundings invite you outside almost immediately. Putting on your walking boots, you step right into nature from your accommodation, ready for a walk along local trails.

After a brisk morning walk, you can pick up a refreshment at Wingbergerhoeve IJs & Fruit, just 0.7 kilometers away. Next, find some shade in the Vijlenerbos at 2.9 kilometers. This wooded area offers cool shelter on warm days. For lunch, settle onto the terrace of Restaurant Gerardushoeve, 1.0 kilometer further along, where you can enjoy local dishes while overlooking the countryside. Fill your afternoon with a walk to the Three-Country Point (Drielandenpunt) at 7.9 kilometers, a forested spot where the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet at a monument. History enthusiasts can walk through the Netherlands American Cemetery at 9.0 kilometers, a tranquil cemetery for American soldiers featuring a chapel and a reflecting pool.

Afternoon slowly turns into evening. Returning to your spacious apartment, you unwind in the luxurious bathroom. For dinner, enjoy the welcoming atmosphere at Boscafé 't Hijgend Hert, 3.6 kilometers from your holiday home. Here, sit down for hearty comfort food and craft beer, accompanied by views of the scenic landscape. Another option is a guided tour and tasting at the Brand Brewery (Brand Bierbrouwerij B.V.) 6.3 kilometers away.

The seasons continuously reshape the landscape's colors. In summer, slide the doors wide open. During peak summer, indoor temperatures can rise noticeably when it exceeds 30 degrees outside. As there is no air conditioning, opening the windows brings in a breeze, which may occasionally invite an insect inside. It is all part of living close to nature. After a long day outdoors, it is pleasant to return to a remarkably spacious home. The sweeping views make the days here feel long and unhurried.

You park your car directly in your private parking space at Hoeve de Eik. For guests arriving with an electric vehicle, arrival is seamless, as both homes feature a charging station for electric cars.

Inside, you will find a fully equipped bathroom. A shower, toilet, sink, and hairdryer are provided as standard in the accommodations. There is no need to pack your own towels, as fresh ones await you in the home.

During peak summer, it is worth keeping indoor temperatures in mind. Feedback shows that the cabins can warm up when temperatures rise above 30 degrees due to the lack of air conditioning. Opening windows for fresh air may invite flies inside. Nevertheless, past guests rate the location highly; the holiday homes hold an average rating of 8.2 out of 10, based on 3 guest reviews.

The two holiday homes in Epen suit a variety of travel groups. The smaller 1-bedroom option comfortably accommodates 2 people, ideal for a quiet getaway as a couple. The larger home hosts up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms, making it very comfortable for a family holiday or a group of hikers.

It makes a fine base for dog owners too, as dogs are welcome in both homes. As soon as you step out of your cabin from specialstays, you can walk straight into the rolling countryside with your dog. The homes appeal particularly to nature lovers who appreciate a spacious apartment, a private terrace, and panoramic views. The luxurious bathrooms and generous layout of 75 to 135 square meters complete your relaxation after an active day outdoors.
