Nature house in Drunen
North Brabant, Netherlands
- 6 persons
- 2 bedrooms

On a unique forest plot around the Drunense Dunes is an idyllic, completely detached nature house. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere, while to the first supermarket it is only a three-minute drive. In this nature house you go completely back to basics, it is very primitive. The house has on the first floor a reasonably equipped kitchen with an electric stove, a refrigerator with freezer compartment and hot and cold water and there is a bathroom with a shower with thermostat, toilet and sink. The living room consists of a dining area, sitting area with TV and stove. Finally, there is a bedroom with a bed for two persons. The upper floor consists of an attic with many beds. The nature house is suitable for six persons. More persons possible in consultation. The house is approximately 10 years old. It has outdated furniture and it has electricity, water and insulated walls. The visitor profile is: families with children, couples, girlfriends, friends, nature lovers, hikers, cyclists, artists, writers, poets, painters and people seeking peace and quiet. Dogs are allowed, if housebroken and sleeping in the living room. Not in sofas and chairs. Energy costs are charged per day.
Nature and surroundings
Absolute peace and quiet! You only hear singing birds here. The plot borders a relatively wide bicycle path of about 27 kilometers in length, which goes around and partly through the dunes, or the largest sand drift in Europe. Of course it is also possible to skate and walk there, while there are also special routes for mountain biking (with quite steep sections) and for horseback riding. It is possible to stable your horse relatively (about 500 meters) nearby. Along the bike path there are several taverns with terraces for the inner care of man. The first one is already about 500 meters from the house. Furthermore, there is a swimming pool and a miniature golf course nearby, as well as old cities such as Den Bosch and Heusden, with many stores, museums and canal cruises, while the Efteling is also only about 15 minutes away by car.

Cottage has some overdue maintenance, but the location is really top
Huisje heeft wat achterstallig onderhoud, maar de locatie is echt top
Incredibly relaxing place, deer close to the cottage, birds whistling and you walk from your cottage right into the woods, dys perfect with our 2 dogs.There are a number of off-leash areas and many catering establishments with good food and very good prices.We also saw many opportunities for horseback riding and cross biking.
Ontzettende relaxte plek, hertjes dichtbij het huisje, fluitende vogeltjes en je loopt vanuit je huisje zo het bos in, dys perfect met onze 2 honden.
Er zijn een aantal losloopgebieden en er zijn veel horecagelegenheden met lekker eten en zeer goede prijzen.
We zagen ook veel mogelijkheden voor paardrijden en crossbiken.This text is automatically translated. -

Everything was dirty, wet and not maintained. Outdated furniture. Window frames were dirty from spocht. The extra mattresses in the attic were old. There is a kerosene stove to make it warm, but it kept knocking out so we couldn't get warm. Unfortunately, we left after 1 day/night. Response from landlord: I am sorry that you have experienced it as cold, but it was also in February, so in the middle of winter and after a period with relatively much precipitation, it is obvious that a wooden house in the middle of the woods (as you have seen in advance on photos), attracts moisture. In addition, you have the thermostat of the stove not higher, as I then explained by phone 3x how to do that and then it remains cold and damp.
Alles was vies, nat en niet onderhouden. Verouderd meubilair. Kozijnen waren vies van spocht. De extra matrassen op zolder waren oud. Er staat een kerosinekacheltje om het warm te maken, maar deze sloeg steeds uit waardoor we het niet warm kregen. Wij zijn jammer genoeg na 1 dag/nacht weer vertrokken.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Het spijt mij, dat je het als koud hebt ervaren, maar het was ook in februari, dus midden in de winter en na een periode met relatief veel neerslag is het evident, dat een houten huis, midden in de bossen (zoals dat vooraf op foto’s hebt kunnen zien), vocht aantrekt.
Daarnaast heb je de thermostaat van de kachel niet hoger kunnen zetten, zoals ik dat toen telefonisch 3x heb uitgelegd hoe dat dat moest en dan blijft het dus koud en vochtig.Our experience with this cottage was in a word, bad
Onze ervaring met dit huisje was in één woord, slecht

For 6 people, the cottage is a bit small.
Voor 6 personen is het huisje wat klein.
It was a nice cozy cottage in the middle of the forest. From there we took several walks. We enjoyed the bird calls but also the silence.
Het was een leuk knus huisje midden in het bos. Van daaruit maakten we verschillende wandelingen. We genoten van de vogelgeluiden maar ook van de stilte.
