Pets not allowed
A quiet nature house located on the edge of the forest in the heart of the Sauerland. You’ll have access to a large, private, fenced-in garden and a covered patio at the back. The nature house is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, a fireplace, and a sauna. There are two bedrooms that stay pleasantly cool in the summer. The cottage has a new gas-fired central heating system. Over the years, several trees have been cut down, particularly behind the house, providing an unobstructed view of Lake Diemel. (These trees can still be seen in some older photos taken from the living room and kitchen.) Note: The cottage is rented to families. Bookings for 4 adults are subject to prior arrangement.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the heart of the Sauerland, about a 2.5-hour drive from Arnhem. There are many hiking opportunities in the immediate vicinity. Water sports enthusiasts can head to Lake Diemel (500 meters). Skiing and mountain biking are available around the town of Willingen (18 kilometers). From the cottage, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the center of the village, Heringhausen, where you’ll find a few restaurants and a café. There’s also a cozy swimming pool with an outdoor pool, a nice playground, and a mini-golf course. In the summer, enjoy swimming in the Diemelsee, which has lovely sunbathing areas.

The furniture is dated, but perfectly adequate.
Insect screens and a screen door wouldn’t be a luxury, and neither would a dehumidifier.
It was very damp and smelled musty in the lower level (bedrooms).
Perhaps because of the wet and cold weather from the previous weeks?
That didn’t give us a pleasant vacation feeling.
When we contacted the owner, he indicated that he wanted to do something about it.Het meubilair is gedateerd, maar voldoet prima.
Horren en hordeur zou geen overbodige luxe zijn en een apparaat om het vocht weg te trekken, ook niet.
Het was erg vochtig en rook muffig in het benedenhuis (slaapvertrekken)
Misschien vanwege het natte en koude weer van de weken ervoor?
Dat gaf ons geen fijn vakantie gevoel.
Tijdens het kontakt met de eigenaar, gaf hij aan hier iets aan te willen doen.What a beautiful place. Large garden; from the terrace off the living room, you can look out over Lake Diemel. The terrace is covered.
There are comfortable chairs with cushions for you to relax in.Wat een mooie plek. Grote tuin, op het terras bij de woonkamer kun je over de Diemelsee kijken. Het terras is overdekt.
Er staan fijne stoelen incl kussens om te genieten.This text is automatically translated. -

Furniture and further furnishings dated especially the kitchen.
Meubilair en verdere inrichting gedateerd met name de keuken.
Peace was disturbed by motorized traffic especially motorcycles along Lake Threemel. Regularly forest mowers disturbed the peace.
Rust werd verstoort door gemotoriseerd verkeer met name motoren langs de Driemelsee.
Regelmatig verstoorden bosmaaiers de rust.This text is automatically translated. -

Assessment for activities I can not give so, unfortunately the weather was not kind to us. We were able to do some hiking and swimming, unfortunately not able to bike but that will certainly be a possibility with good weather, as will canoeing.
Beoordeling voor activiteiten kan ik niet zo geven, helaas was het weer ons niet goed gezind.
Wij hebben wel wat kunnen wandelen en zwemmen, helaas niet kunnen fietsen maar dat zal zeker tot de mogelijkheden behoren met goed weer, net als kanoën.We found it an excellent cottage, quiet and beautiful location, with a beautiful view of Lake Diemel, lots of birds, a lovely sound. The house is well furnished, everything is there for a pleasant stay.
We vonden het een prima huisje, rustig en mooi gelegen, met een mooi uitzicht op de Diemelsee, heel veel vogels, een heerlijk geluid. Het huis is goed ingericht, alles is aanwezig voor een aangenaam verblijf.
