A wonderful vacation spot! This charming, characterful home—modernized to meet today’s needs—is surrounded by 0.4 ha of beautiful private woodland and garden. The house (70 m²) is well-maintained and surprisingly spacious. Suitable for 4 people for short- or long-term stays in all seasons. The house, garden, and the luxury of your own forest offer relaxation for those seeking peace and quiet, but it’s also ideal for families. A small tent among the trees is permitted by arrangement. Your dog (1) is welcome. The spacious, sunny living room features a comfortable sitting area with a TV and a large dining table. There’s a fireplace and plenty of games. Modern open kitchen; two bedrooms. Shower, sink. Separate toilet. Central heating. A shed with storage for garden tools, firewood, and games. A beautiful jeu de boules court; boules available. A little chore: rake the court to clear it of pinecones. The house offers views of the forest and garden on all sides. New: a colorful hammock! (130 kg max)

The cottage is cozily decorated with all sorts of thrift-store-style knickknacks and furniture, but everything you need was there—you won’t be missing a thing. The beds were also very comfortable. The biggest downside, though, was the shower. There was very little water pressure, and at one point it stopped working altogether. Luckily, that happened on the day we left, so it didn’t bother us much. That’s something that could use some extra attention.
Het huisje is gezellig ingericht met allerlei spulletjes en meubels qua kringloopstijl maar alles was aanwezig en je komt niks tekort. De bedden lagen ook heerlijk. Grote minpunt was wel de douche. Heel weinig druk en op een gegeven moment deed hij het helemaal niet meer. Gelukkig was dat de dag van vertrek dus weinig last van gehad. Daar zou wel extra aandacht aan besteed kunnen worden.
A lovely spot surrounded by trees, which makes you feel like you're living in a private forest. The weather was perfect, so we were able to sit outside late into the evening and play games for a long time. Despite the high temperatures, it was nice and cool both inside the cottage and in the garden.
Heerlijke plek omringd door bomen waardoor je het gevoel hebt in een prive bos te wonen. Het weer was perfect zodat we tot laat in de avond buiten hebben kunnen zitten en lekker lang spelletjes hebben kunnen spelen. Ondanks de hoge temperaturen was het zowel in het huisje als in de tuin lekker koel.

We had a nice stay. The cottage was a bit dated.
Fijn verblijf gehad. Huisje beetje verouderd
Nice, spacious garden; quiet—though it's a shame you could hear the cars quite a bit
Lekker ruime tuin ,rustig wel jammer dat je de auto's nogal hoorde

It is a lovely cottage. It is finely furnished with a well-equipped kitchen so you have everything you need. The beds are comfortable, there are games and a fireplace. It doesn't get any cozier than this. Hans, the manager and Carolien, the owner are both super friendly and approachable. We will definitely come back again!!!
Het is een heerlijk huisje. Het is fijn ingericht met een goed uitgeruste keuken dus je hebt alles wat je nodig hebt. De bedden zijn comfortabel, er zijn spelletjes en een open haard. Knusser wordt het niet. Hans, de beheerder en Carolien, de eigenaar zijn allebei super vriendelijk en laagdrempelig te benaderen. Wij komen zeker nog een keer terug!!
The cottage has a piece of its own forest, so you feel like you are completely away from the rest of the world. There is a huge lawn in front with several seating areas, so you can always sit in the sun. The surroundings are also beautiful! As a city dweller, you can enjoy the greenery here.
Het huisje heeft een stukje eigen bos, dus je waant je helemaal weg van de rest van de wereld. Er is een enorm grasveld voor de deur met verschillende zitjes, dus je kunt altijd in de zon zitten. De omgeving is ook prachtig! Als stadsmens kun je hier je hart ophalen in het groen.
