Where Nature Meets Luxury

Overlooking the Amblève valley at the foot of the Hautes Fagnes, The Woodpecker is the ultimate cabin experience. It's a cozy nest clinging to the hillside, anchored in the midst of nature. It's pure romanticism. A chalet of extraordinary design and finish, The Woodpecker is the ideal place for a romantic escape, a return to nature, for those who love the rustle of wind in the trees, the song of the woodpecker at dawn, and the crackling fire when evening falls.

An absolutely magical place! We spent two unforgettable nights in perfect harmony with nature. The attention to detail, the jacuzzi under the stars, the crackling fire... simply the most romantic getaway we've ever experienced.
