Boshuisje Rekem

Mornings here begin to the rhythm of nature. Open the doors to the terrace and enjoy your first cup of coffee as birds wake up in the surrounding trees. The 21 cabins of Boshuisje Rekem are scattered across the grounds, positioned so you can feel the openness of the outdoors everywhere. Inside feels warm and inviting, with comfortable bedrooms and living spaces ranging from 50 to 60 square metres. The carefully chosen interior and gentle colours create an atmosphere that helps you slow down the moment you arrive.

When the sun shines, life moves outdoors. The park features its own ponds where you can relax along the shore. Take a dip in the swimming pond or cast a fishing line into the fishing pond.

The lush greenery of Belgian Limburg surrounds you on all sides.

On rainy days, adjusting your pace comes effortlessly. The region offers plenty of indoor activities. Just 4.9 kilometres away, you can browse medieval and contemporary art under the striking dome of the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht. Prefer to relax closer to home? Book a massage at ThanaRetreat just 1.7 kilometres away, or step into the Marres concept store 1.6 kilometres from your door.

A stay at Boshuisje Rekem is located in Lanaken, on the De Sonnevijver holiday estate. The estate has a total of 21 cabins with living spaces ranging between 50 and 60 square metres. Each cabin accommodates two to six guests and features one to three bedrooms. For example, cabin Ignis sleeps two guests with a single bedroom, while cabin Boris accommodates six guests across three bedrooms.

Every accommodation comes standard with a bathroom equipped with a shower, sink, and toilet. Outside, each cabin features a private garden with a terrace and garden furniture. A baby cot and Wi-Fi are also available in all 21 cabins. Dogs are welcome in ten of the 21 cabins, so be sure to check during booking whether your chosen cabin accepts pets.

The park is closed to outside day visitors. For groceries or dining out, you will leave the estate. Several options are available within a two-kilometre radius, such as Panos City Lanaken 1.7 kilometres away. For further excursions, Maastricht is just a short drive away. Please note that there are no restaurants or supermarkets on the estate grounds itself. specialstays recommends checking the opening hours of local bakeries and brasseries in advance.

Thanks to its layout and amenities, Boshuisje Rekem suits a wide range of guests. Families with children will find booking easy, as every one of the 21 cabins comes with a baby cot as standard. The swimming pond and play area on the grounds keep younger guests entertained. Couples and friends will also find a peaceful base surrounded by greenery. In the 10 cabins where dogs are welcome, owners can enjoy a holiday alongside their four-legged friends near walking areas such as the Meuse dyke.

Guests expecting to step directly from their cabin into a restaurant or shop might find this location less suitable. Although urban amenities in Maastricht and Lanaken are very close by, there are no shops or eateries on the estate itself. Groups larger than six people cannot stay together in a single cabin either. If you are looking for a place with a private sauna in every accommodation or extensive dining facilities on-site, the larger holiday parks in our collection may be a better fit. specialstays recommends Boshuisje Rekem specifically for those who wish to combine nature with quick access to the city.
