A small cabin on the shore of a still forest lake at first light

Lakeside cabins & camp · Belgian Ardennes

Wake up on the water's edge.

A small, quiet camp of cabins, canvas tents and open pitches wrapped around a private lake in the Ourthe valley. No screens to speak of. Just pine, water and a fire you built yourself.

Field notes · No. 01

We kept the camp small on purpose. Forty acres of shoreline, a dozen ways to stay, and room enough between them that you'll rarely hear your neighbour.

Pine & Lake has been in the same family since 1998. Over the years the tents got warmer and the sauna got hotter, but the idea never changed: give people a good reason to be outside, and mostly get out of their way. Come for a weekend by the water or a slow week off the grid.

Days that fill themselves.

Everything here runs on lake time. Borrow a canoe before breakfast, heat the sauna for dusk, or just follow a trail until you forget which one you're on.

"We came for two nights and rebooked a week before we'd even left."

Any time of year

The lake is a different place every season.

Spring Apr–May

Loud with birds

Cold, clear water and the whole valley waking up. Best trails, fewest people.

Summer Jun–Aug

Swim weather

Long light evenings, warm swims and late campfires. Book well ahead.

Autumn Sep–Oct

Colour & sauna

The forest turns copper and the sauna earns its keep. Our quiet favourite.

Winter Nov–Mar

Woodsmoke & stars

Cabins only, wood stoves lit, and the darkest, sharpest night skies of the year.

Pick a season. We'll keep the fire ready.

On the Lake

There's no programme here and nothing you have to do. But if you want ideas, a day at Pine & Lake tends to sort itself into something like this.
