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 there is no Internet, which means that you slow down and break free from the stress of everyday life. Curious? Take a look at the photos here!

Self-sufficient lodging is unique. Not only do you improve your connection with the basic elements of life, you also gain more respect for nature and the environment. You become acquainted with the slow rhythm of nature and learn to accept it as it is.

Upon your arrival, you are given (literally) a fully charged battery – charged by autonomous energy generation methods. In addition, you may also make use of 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).

Although, during your self-sufficient stay, heightened awareness of how you use energy and water is essential. Throughout your stay, you can monitor the degree of self-sufficiency, as well as the rainwater level, on a display in the slow cabin. This raises consciousness and promotes active awareness of the positive footprint during a self-sufficient stay. Off-the-grid vacations are no longer a romantic dream – they’re an absolute reality!

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 cities (Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Liège, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague). So, there is always one in your neck of the woods, so to speak! When you make a reservation, you will receive information about how to get to your Slow Cabin two weeks before departure. At that time, you will also receive info about activities in the neighbourhood, from beautiful walks to cosy local eateries and other surprising slow activities.

Would you like to book a Slow Cabin with your family or with a group of friends? Great idea! Since we want to keep the impact of our cabins on the environment as low as possible, a Slow Cabin can sleep up to four persons.

Our Time-for-Family cabins also provide you the opportunity to bring along a baby or toddler. We can set up a cot for you upon request. Please select this option under ‘extra services’ when making your reservation.

Oh no, that is too bad! Contact us as soon as possible at info@slowcabins.com so we can search together for a solution.

Due to the logistical complexity of servicing the Slow Cabins, it is not yet possible to reserve meals. So, it is entirely up to you whether to bring food along, to buy something 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 great tips on where to buy typical local products 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 small 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, spices, coffee, tea, soap and towels, are also present.

Our aim, by only providing the absolute necessities, is to give our guests the gift of peace, quiet and happiness.

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.
