La Dolina
Pretty Chalet in Durbuy with Kids Play Area
Description
THE UNIQUE STORY, AS TOLD BY THE HOMEOWNER
Peace, quiet and nature: this is what vacation home La Dolina promises. In the beautiful Ardennes, this chalet takes you into the woods, where you can enjoy a relaxing time with family or friends.
The owners built the house all by themselves. And they did so with great care for the environment and the surrounding nature. The chalet has a heat pump, a ventilation system and floor heating. You do not have to compromise on comfort and the beauty of it is that with your stay you also contribute to a better world.
Going out together also means eating together, cooking together and trying out new recipes. This is perfectly possible in the contemporary kitchen, where all modern equipment is available to let you live it up. After a nice lunch or dinner you can relax by the stove or admire the sunset from the large terrace.
After a wonderful day in nature you can enjoy a warm bath or a refreshing shower in one of the two bathrooms. Afterwards you will sleep like a log in one of the three bedrooms with a total of space for eight people. For the littlest dreamers there are cribs available.
The spacious, fenced garden is ideal for those traveling with pets and children. An adventurous climbing frame entertains young and old. And the many squirrels nearby are sure to provide a fun encounter.
There is also plenty to do outside. You can explore this beautiful, hilly region along the various mapped out walking and cycling routes. You can walk from Barvaux to Durbuy, or discover the impressive waterfalls of Aywaille. Daredevils sail down the Ourthe in a kayak, or they fly on a zipline through the nearby Durbuy adventure park.
In La Dolina every season has its charm. From the blissful warmth of summer and green walks in spring to the falling autumn leaves and white winter scenes. Is it snowing in the winter? Then be sure to visit the ski and cross-country ski slopes. They are less than 25 kilometers away.

Very nice house for families with (small) children. Good beds, full kitchen and very nice shower and bath. Terrace with parasol and picnic bench and space for 3 sunbeds. The slide is a bit old, but still functions. We had very warm weather, but the house remained cool. Lots of fun in the area (car needed of course). I would go to this house again in a heartbeat.
Beautiful new house nestled among the trees. We were there with the heat wave but it was still fairly cool. Nice large kitchen and nice play equipment for the children in the tuin.Je walk from the house into the forest and in the area there is plenty to do and good supermarkets.
There was no toilet paper, no garbage bags, etc. but everything was expected to be nicely put outside in garbage bags at the end of our stay. These seem basic to me. Also, all beds were provided with sheets except 1 bed. Why not just this one bed? Very bizarre. The BBQ had not been cleaned for years, it was actually completely unusable. Otherwise a very pleasant and peaceful stay!
Very nice modern chalet in a peaceful location surrounded by other chalets. Very well equipped for an excellent stay, with a very well equipped kitchen for cooking and then spending a good evening in front of a pleasant wood fire. bathroom and 2 separate toilets.
Beautiful, quiet house. Nice size, with 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Has been the 3rd time we stayed in this house, always been satisfied, but you are now starting to notice that over the years no further investment has been made in it. Examples: light in the bathroom no longer works (properly), the sleeping pillows and duvets need to be renewed (pillows with balls in them due to washing), duvets with spots on them, the vacuum cleaner's casing comes loose, ... all in itself not so bad, but still a pity and below expectations compared to the house itself. What is also very annoying is that there are no mops anywhere in the house or in any bathroom a mat or something is provided for after showering. So: clean, recent house, but the consumables are due for renewal.
Very practical house with every comfort.
