Tiny house with private hot tub on the water in Poelkapelle, West Flanders

A tiny house with a heart for sustainability

West Flanders has no shortage of unique stays, but this tiny house in Poelkapelle is truly special. Built entirely from recycled materials — salvaged beams, old roof tiles, reclaimed windows — it sits right on a small waterway with its own private jetty.

Poelkapelle is a village in Langemark-Poelkapelle, in the heart of the West Flemish polders. Peaceful and green, yet just half an hour from Ghent and Bruges.

Hot tub under the open sky

The star of the stay is the wood-fired hot tub on the terrace. As the water heats up, you smell burning wood and gaze out over the still water. On clear evenings, the stars reflect perfectly in the surface.
