La Cabane d’Hélène has its feet in the water and is all thatched. A huge sofa filled with cushions faces the wood stove and offers a view of the river. The bed overhangs the sofa and together they form a large space that invites you to relax and rest. The living space is structured between the black and gnarled hawthorn trunks and the large straight white birch shutter. The small kitchen area is on the right as you enter and a pretty wooden bathtub is hidden in the back of the cabin behind the shutter. La Cabane d’Hélène will allow you to be lulled by the murmurs of the Ourthe which flows just below. It is the twin sister of the Cabane de Gaspard.

The environment is amazing and the cabin itself is just wonderful. The stay completely fulfilled my expectations. If you love nature and the coziness of these types of cabins, I would definitely recommend coming here. I will certainly visit again!
Opinions on accommodation
Everything in the cabin matched the pictures and the space was really lovely and cozy. Just enough space for 2 people and even a kitchen with fridge and microwave were there.
In general the cabin was clean and it contained everything you need (towels, bath soaps etc.). But a few more "hidden" places weren't cleaned well, for example beneath the bed it was very dusty and even some chips from previous guests were laying there (which isn't hard to notice since the bed is mounted higher). Also the shutters outside the window didn't give a feeling of privacy, because you can still see through, some curtains on the inside would be nice.

Very kind, lovely location, with autumn-leaves-covered walking trails starting at the grounds. Woody hills in front, woody hills behind, and in between the river. What more could you want?
Breakfast and catering available for order.
Opinions on accommodation
Lovely, small, but with all necessary amenities. Comfortable bed, amazing big bath-tub, and lovely large sofa.
More wood and fire-starters would have been nice for the length of the stay (especially since, due to the rain, all wood I was able to collect was wet)

The cabins are in the heart of nature and decently close to the towns of Houfalize and Bastogne to explore.
Overalll the service and accommodations were great.
Opinions on accommodation
The cabin itself was very cozy as perfect for a few day stay. We stayed two nights but wish we had been able to stay two more. Overall the cabin is well equipped with a comfortable bed, a nice size, and right in the heart of nature. The bonfire and wood stove is a nice touch!
Would have been nice to have a screen at the door for mosquitos. At night it was very warm with the heater on, so to cool down the cabin you needed to keep the door open but there were many mosquitos near this cabin due to the river.
