Cabin fever #3: 2 nights in a Slow Cabin

I’m starting to sound like a broken record when I say I’m as partial to a getaway in a cabin/tiny house as the next city-dwelling millennial. I wrote about my stays at Nutchel and at a refurbished vintage trailer before, and my bucket list of tiny weekend getaways is far from complete. I’ve been extremely busy with work and studying for an exam, so it felt wise to book a short trip to force myself to take some downtime. This time, I opted for a Belgian company that’s very vocal about the sustainability of their little homes-away-from-home: Slow Cabins.

Weekend getaway in a restored mid-century trailer in Liège (+ things to do)

You might have read how my first venture into cabin-style getaways made me hungry for more. For our next weekend trip we were once again looking for a small space in a peaceful location that would allow us to clear our heads, while giving us plenty of stuff to explore in the area as well. Oh, and preferably with a dash of sustainability. Welcome to cabin fever part 2, fabulous vintage trailer edition!

Cabin fever: 2 nights at Nutchel Les Ardennes

Whether for the aesthetics, the lifestyle or just as a way to slow down and recharge from the daily hustle and bustle, the internet has grown to LOVE cabins. I (along with millions of others) have been watching tiny house channels over the last couple of years, mainly for inspiration on small space living and sustainable living solutions. I love life in the city way too much to adopt the cabin lifestyle, but as a no-frills, back to basics getaway? It sounded mighty appealing.
