Berta Tiny House, a unique overnight accommodation in Belgium.

Located in Verlaine, Liège province, Berta is a self-built tiny house by Julien. He started the project during his studies in 2020 during the pandemic and finished it 4 years later. Open for bookings since late February, we are therefore among the first tenants to have the chance to sleep in this beautiful little wooden cabin.

After almost an hour's journey from Brussels, we arrive in the village of Verlaine located in the province of Liège. It is at the address we received previously by message that we find Julien. He leads us to the tiny house located on a beautiful grassy plot, facing the meadows that welcome the cows in the summer.

We follow the Japanese steps up to the large wooden terrace of the tiny house and push open the door of this lovely little house. We enter a bright living room with 2 armchairs, a small stove, and a dining table with 2 stools. On our left, a minimalist and very well-equipped kitchen (refrigerator, sink, cooktop, coffee maker, kettle, microwave, etc.). You'll even find the essentials for cooking, such as oil, salt, pepper, and some spices.

At the back of the tiny house, behind the sliding door, we find the shower (with hot water) and the composting toilet.

Upstairs, we have a large double bed, still with a panoramic view of the outdoors.

You can come with peace of mind for this restorative getaway, as sheets and towels are provided on site.

As mentioned above, the exterior of the tiny house consists of a large wooden terrace. The fire pit is located a few meters away on the grass, promising a romantic evening warmed by the flames of the wood fire.

Spring is proving elusive at the end of March, and we will only be able to enjoy these exteriors very little between showers. We have promised ourselves to return for a whole weekend this summer to fully enjoy the outdoors!

What a joy to wake up, open the curtains, and enjoy this view of nature. A true moment of contemplation before going downstairs to relight the stove to warm up the tiny house after this peaceful night.

We prolong this sweet romantic stay by preparing pancakes for breakfast. By the way, for the most gourmands, we're including our recipe below.

Despite the cool outside temperatures, we didn't get cold at all during our stay in the tiny house. In addition to a wood-burning stove, Julien equipped the tiny house with electric heating. So no worries if we couldn't get the fire going!

During our stay with Berta, we only used the wood-burning stove for heating, and it was more than enough. Even though you'll agree, it was rather cool waking up, just the time it took to relight the fire after our night.

Our story at Berta, Julien's tiny house, ends here. As you can read, we spent an enchanted interlude in the heart of nature in this unusual accommodation in the Liège province. We are returning home refreshed from this unusual overnight stay in this small wooden cabin. We hope this romantic getaway has inspired you for a future unusual stay in Belgium or to offer to a loved one via a gift card.

We include all the practical information if you wish to book a night at Berta. And if you want to discover other unusual accommodations in Belgium? Feel free to visit the accommodations page of our blog 'The World Explorers'.
