A hidden gem

The lodge is a hidden gem on the estate, with only the caretaker as a neighbor. Park your car in the fenced parking area in front of the caretaker’s house. Follow the charming path on the left, and there you will find the lodge, which welcomes you with a beautiful view!

In the lodge you can enjoy, among other things:

  • A comfortable king-size double box spring bed with bed linen and a panoramic view (with air conditioning and fan).
  • A cozy seating area.
  • A kitchenette, equipped with, among other things, a Nespresso machine, milk frother, kettle, and air fryer.
  • A minibar with drinks and snacks.
  • Bathroom with rain shower, towel set, shampoo and shower gel by Marie Stella Maris, and underfloor heating.

For warm summer days, air conditioning and a fan are available, while underfloor heating keeps you warm during cooler moments. Towels, bathrobes, and slippers are included.

Every morning between 8:00 and 10:00, an extensive breakfast is ready for you to start your day off right.

Thanks to the large windows and French doors, the surrounding nature is brought inside, allowing the interior and exterior to flow seamlessly into one another and creating a perfect balance between elegance and relaxation.

A beautiful private experience awaits outside. The spacious 45 m² terrace consists of two levels directly on the water and offers complete privacy. Relax on the sun loungers, enjoy dinner at the dining table with a parasol, or warm yourself on cooler evenings with the patio heater.

The absolute highlight is the 5-person Beachcomber jacuzzi by the water. From the warm hot tub, you enjoy peace, nature, and a stunning view. In addition, you have exclusive access to a large part of the 3,500 m² private garden with various atmospheric seating areas by the water.

Please note: swimming and boating are not permitted in the Wijchens Ven.

An exclusive place where wellness, nature, and luxury come together for an unforgettable stay.

What guests say about us

Staying here is: a wellness experience without other people, feeling alone in nature without having to go to Scandinavia. And the luxury of a chic hotel while being the only guest.
Delicious, extensive luxury breakfast with a little bit of everything. Experienced immense tranquility. A comfortable bed, everything fresh and clean. As far as we are concerned, highly recommended.
As the icing on the cake, the lovely jacuzzi is relaxing for the early morning or late evening, with a beautiful view and the sounds of various birds. We had a very nice and relaxing time.
