The house that has been completely renovated according to the latest comfort criteria (4 stars) is suitable for 9 people and has been designed from the heart to allow families, friends and colleagues to experience an unforgettable time. Louise-Marie is an oasis of tranquility but at the same time is at the crossroads of all major cities around and is an ideal place to combine the green tranquility and the vibrant city energy: Ronse and Kwaremont are 5 minutes' drive away, Oudenaarde 15 min, Ghent, Kortrijk and Tournai are 30 minutes away, Brussels and Bruges 50 minutes. This hilly region with beautiful panoramas and stubborn cobblestone roads offers hikers and cyclists the most beautiful challenges with no less than 800 km of hiking fun and beautiful cycling routes. Louise-Marie is the gateway to the Muziekbos: your muscles will be introduced to the Muziekberg, a witness hill of 148 meters high. In the middle of the forest stands the fairytale Geuzentoren, where poet Omer Wattez came up with the name "Flemish Ardennes" after an inspiring walk. ## Property amenities ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Shower ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29760000/29753000/29752924/a644f30d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### De Reus van Horebeke Horebeke - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=29752924&PinnedHotelID=29752924&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16560000/16559400/16559396/a0769aca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A beautiful Art Nouveau house with an enormous garden.
