This beautiful nature house is set in an ancient place in the authentic Reest valley and is surrounded by monumental trees. In the garden there is a pond where you can swim in summer and skate in winter. The ruralhut is part of a farmhouse. The farm is divided into different living areas. Due to the layout, this house is ideal for large groups. All four bedrooms have a private bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped. The house has its own infrared sauna and a wood-fired hot tub on the private terrace. There is an additional garden room where meetings can be held for 18 people. A maximum of two pets is welcome, but they should not be left alone in the house.

Nature and surroundings

Hikers and cyclists please note! Through the Reest valley there are various hiking and cycling routes through beautiful heaths and forests. In addition, there are also many municipalities nearby that are definitely worth visiting. For example, visit the cultural Staphorst. Horse lovers can enjoy well, because Mérens horses and six Shetland ponies live on the estate of the house. For the little ones there is the possibility to hug, brush and ride (under expert guidance) the shetlanders ponies. It is also possible to bring your own horse / pony.

    We were a group of 8 people and found everything we needed, the house was easy to find, the landlord took good care of us and we felt comfortable.

    Great little note: you have to appreciate rural and farm life, of course. If you are especially happy with swept sidewalks and plastered walls: well....

    We had a wonderful week in the Eekhorst! A great house, cozy, lots of space and a very extensive inventory. John is a fine host. The homemade walnut cake was ready for us upon arrival and he occasionally inquired whether everything was to our liking. The nature around the Eekhorst is beautiful. Endless walks, wonderful, highly recommended!

    Very friendly host who really enjoys guests in his yard. Very nice with young children. there are Ponies, playground and a pond so big you can take the rowboat for a spin and fish. We took a whole day to fill the hot tub and heat it up. The reward then to spend the afternoon and evening in a lovely hot tub in autumn weather is great!

    A beautiful place with lots of space both inside and outside. Plenty to do in the area, but you can also have a great time on the property itself.
