Choose to travel slow and lighten your pace. No stress of choice, tight planning or running back and forth, but slowing down and consciously reflecting on the splendor of your surroundings. Enjoy 'the little things' with a fresh look and find yourself truely relaxing.
Spread over various secret nature locations in Belgium, you will find our Slow Cabins for two people. On the inside, an oasis of minimalism and simplicity. Outside, the gigantic spectacle of nature. Absolute and natural beauty in interior, design and surroundings.
In our cosy, off-grid, cabins you can escape your worries, hectic life and the debilitating everyday stress. You will not only find silence and beauty here, but also the essence of what it is really about: connection with yourself, your environment and those you care about most.
Our Slow Cabins are small wooden houses that are located in magnificent places in hidden nature. The locations are secret, but deliberately and carefully chosen to be less than two hours away from the major cities. Easily accessible by car and public transport, but completely disconnected from the world.
The cabins are minimalist and furnished with an eye for beauty, detail and comfort. They have everything you need and nothing you don’t. An ideal setting to connect sustainably, consciously and relaxed with each other and the environment.
In each cabin you will find an equipped kitchen, cozy sitting area and queen sized bed to enjoy optimal comfort. Thanks to the panoramic window next to the bed, you wake up every morning to the breathtaking art of nature. The bathroom has a Scandinavian dry toilet and a warm, circular shower. Outside there is a fire pti that can replace the warmth of the setting sun with a crackling campfire or a delicious barbecue.
Love for nature and the environment is at the basis of Slow Cabins. Our self-sufficient cabins are therefore ecologically designed and produced. Almost half of the production costs go to green, sustainable techniques and the choice for local production. For example, the sun takes care of the cabin’s energy production and the rain takes care of the water used for showering or the dishes. In this way we minimize waste flows and CO2 emissions. We opt for maximum comfort and enjoyment with a minimum impact on the environment.
Slow Cabins strives for a net green added value in which more guests lead to more nature. We plant a tree for every new booking and, together with our location partners, we invest in local nature conservation and landscape enrichment. You, by staying with us, are actively contributing to this as well. In this way we all work together towards a more beautiful, greener world. Different, slower and better.
Book your cabin at a moment of your choice, fill in your details and check your mailbox for the confirmation email.
Stay confirmed? That's great! Now, take a breath, put the dates of your stay in your calendar and let go. We'll take it from here. Two weeks before departure you will receive an email from us with all the necessary information about your stay, including the address.
Ready to go? Read the brochure for a final baggage check and off you go! Enjoy wonderful music along the way, visit one of the farm shops or restaurants and be surprised by your new favorite spot on arrival. Have fun relaxing!

"Really enjoyed two nights of rest. No screens, no distractions. Finally time for that book, cooking on an open fire, wine, board games and good conversations. Highly recommended if you really want to be together in the middle of nowhere." Thank you to one of our guests for these kind words. ❤️

This Valentine's Day, forget the roses and boxes of chocolates. Focus on what matters instead: quality time with each other.
There’s nothing more romantic than a weekend full of breathtaking starry nights, cozy campfires and discovering new landscapes. Just enjoying each other's company in the great outdoors with no one else but each other.
Surprise your favorite person in the world with a personalized voucher and enjoy a memorable getaway you will cherish for a lifetime.
"A unique back-to-basics concept but with just enough luxury to escape real life for a few days. It makes a person think about life and realize that we can actually be just as happy with much less."

Slow Cabins® are temporary eco houses that are completely self-sufficient when it comes to water and electricity provisions. They are situated in secret locations close to home and rose from the Slow (travel) movement, more about Slow Travel on our concept page. In a Slow Cabin there is no Internet as well, which means that you slow down and break free from the stress of everyday life.
Self-sufficient lodging is unique. Not only are you going back to basics, you also gain more respect for nature and the environment. You become acquainted with the slower pace of nature and learn to accept it as it is.
Upon your arrival, you are given a fully charged battery – charged by solar panels. In addition, you get a substantial water reservoir filled with filtered rainwater. At normal consumption levels, you can live completely self-sufficiently with ‘zero impact’ for several days (even during the winter months). So as your cabin’s battery discharges, yours recharges.
However substantial, your resources are not endless, during your self-sufficient stay, heightened awareness of how you use energy and water is thus essential. Throughout your stay, you can monitor your battery, as well as your rainwater levels, on a display in the Slow Cabin.
Being obligated to keep an eye out for your resource levels raises consciousness and promotes active awareness of your footprint during a your stay. A consciousness, many of our guest take home with them. Off-the-grid vacations are no longer a romantic dream – they’re an absolute reality! Read more on our Off-grid technology on our concept page
Our Slow Cabins® are set up at temporary locations, which we keep strictly confidential. Don’t worry, they are no further than 2 hours’ drive from the large central cities (Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Liège, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague). So, there is always one in your neck of the woods, pun intended :)!
When you make a reservation, you will receive all the relevant information on your Slow Cabin two weeks before departure. A brochure will tell you how to get there as well as information on activities in and around the cabin, from beautiful walks to cosy local eateries and other surprising slow activities.
Our Time for Family cabins are suitable for 4 persons, while our Time for Two cabins are suitable for up to 2 people
Our Time For Family cabins do offer the possibility to bring a baby / toddler. We can provide a baby cot on request. Please select this during your reservation under “extra services”.
Oh no, that is too bad! Contact us as soon as possible at info[at]slowcabins.com and we’ll look for a solution together.
Due to the logistical complexity of servicing the Slow Cabins®, it is not yet possible to reserve meals. However, in the cabins, you have access to an equipped kitchen with a small gas burner and a wood BBQ, make sure to pack your chef’s hat.
It is entirely up to you whether you bring food along (or prepare at home to heat up in the cabin), buy daily fresh ingredients in the local shops or to go to a restaurant in the neighbourhood.
In our brochures, which we send to you two weeks before your stay, you will find all kinds of delicious tips on where to buy fresh local produce and where to find the best restaurants.
Slow Cabins® are relatively small houses (<40 m2) which contain everything you need and nothing you don’t need.
Each Slow Cabin is equipped with a queen-sized bed (including linens), a bathroom with a warm shower and toilet, a wood-burning stove in the living room, a small, furnished kitchen with a refrigerator, a cooktop with two burners, flatware/silverware, cookware and utensils, a wood-burning barbecue (outdoor) with a grill plate and outdoor furniture. Everything you need to light the barbecue is at hand.
The most basic ingredients and supplies for the kitchen and bathroom, such as olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee and tea, soap and towels, are also present. Find a complete overview on everything that is present in the cabins on our Time for Two and Time for Family cabin pages.
Our aim, by only providing the absolute necessities, is to give our guests the gift of peace, quiet and happiness. You can book your cabin here
Definitely! Two weeks before your stay, we will send you not only the info about the location of your cabin but also a brief guide to all the fun activities that are on offer in the vicinity of your Slow Cabin. What’s more, in the cabin itself you will also find various walking routes and brochures.
