Nature and surroundings
The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful with forests, estates and meadows. From the yard you can walk and cycle in the so-called "coulisse landscape" of the Achterhoek. You live here with the seasons. In spring there are many birds, blossoms and meadows with pink and dandelions. In autumn beautiful autumn colors, especially the American oak, beech and currant. It is possible to see deer, fox and other animals from the yard. At night you can regularly hear owls and with clear weather the stars are clearly visible. In the yard walk peacocks, geese and chickens. Vorden is known for its many castles, the Pieterpad and the Eight Castles Route. There are many opportunities for cyclists, hikers and nature lovers. The Eight Castles Route and the Trekvogelpad (formerly the Gelrepad) run along the farmyard. Within walking distance is the De Wiersse Estate, whose gardens are opened for tours in the spring and summer. Estate De Belten near Vorden has a pinetum with about 1,000 species and varieties of conifers. A walk through the forests of the Forestry Commission takes you to the largest hedge maze in the world. The Klimbos Achterhoek is also located here.

Comfortable mattress. The bed might feel a bit narrow at first if you’re used to a wider one, because the edge sticks out just above the mattress.
But you get used to everything, and other than that, it’s a really nice little cottage—the tranquility of the immediate surroundings and the sounds of nature ensure a great night’s sleep! The couch is comfortable, too. And if it rains, you can still sit outside and stay dry under the awning in front of the house. You’re also welcome to set up a chair elsewhere in a good portion of the garden to enjoy the outdoors.
There are many beautiful sandy paths (not really loose sand) that are perfectly manageable on a regular bike but might be a bit more challenging for road cyclists.
It’s actually nice and quiet on these kinds of roads, and there isn’t much traffic.Fijn matras. Bed voelt in het begin misschien wat smal als je breed gewend bent, doordat de rand net boven het matras uitsteekt.
Maar alles went, en verder echt een heel leuk huisje, en de rust van de directe omgeving en geluiden van de natuur bezorgen je een prima nachtrust! Fijne bank ook. En je kunt onder het afdak voor de gevel als het regent alsnog droog buiten zitten. Je mag ook fijn elders in een flink deel van de tuin een stoel neerzetten om van de tuin te genieten.
Veel mooie zandpaden (geen echt rul zand) die met normale fiets heel prima te doen zijn maar misschien voor de wielrenner iets meer uitdaging zijn.
Juist wel weer fijn rustig op dit soort wegen, en niet veel verkeer.A very cozy little house with a comfortable bed, set in a beautiful yard, in a wonderfully diverse setting.
Very friendly and helpful hosts.
I had some nice conversations (and got some useful tips) with the hosts. Several times, they gave me freshly picked fruit from the yard (plums, peaches!).
Elan, a very sweet dog, helped me make friends. (The owners only let the dog come near you if you’re okay with it, and they’re very considerate in that regard.)
Nice private bathroom and kitchen just a few steps from the cottage.
This cottage is an ideal base for exploring the beautiful surroundings with their stunning nature and estates, whether on foot or by bike.
Train stations (Vorden and Ruurlo) are both about a 15-minute bike ride away, as are restaurants and shops/supermarkets.Heel knus huisje met fijn bed, op een schitterend erf, in een prachtig gevarieerde omgeving.
Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame verhuurders.
Leuke gesprekken (en nuttige tips) gehad met de verhuurders. Ik kreeg meerdere keren vers geraapt fruit van het erf (pruimen, perzikken!)
Heel lieve hond Elan waar ik vrienden mee heb gemaakt. (De eigenaars laten de hond alleen in de buurt komen als je daar geen problemen mee hebt, en houden wat dat betreft prima rekening).
Fijne privébadkamer en keuken op vier stappen van het huisje.
Dit huisje is een ideale uitgangsplek om de prachtige omgeving met zijn mooie natuur en landgoederen te verkennen, te voet of te fiets.
Stations (Vorden en Ruurlo) allebei op ongeveer 15 min fietsen, evenals horeca en winkels/ supermarkten.This text is automatically translated. -

A cosy little blokhut with toilet and shower in the main Barn opposite the blokhut. Kitchen was well supplied with everything you need.
Een geweldig plekje om even helemaal te kunnen ontspannen. Heerlijke omgeving voor wandelingen en fietstochten.

Wow!
Wauw!
The experience of staying at Klein Windenberg was very good. In the middle of rural surroundings between Vorden and Ruurlo. There is little light pollution at night. The log cabin overlooks the beautiful farm. Unfortunately we did not spot the golden oriole. Hopefully next time.
De beleving van het verblijf op Klein Windenberg was erg goed. Midden in landelijke omgeving tussen Vorden en Ruurlo. Er is s nachts weinig lichtvervuiling. De blokhut kijkt uit op de mooie boerderij. Helaas hebben wij de wielewaal niet gespot. Hopelijk de volgende keer.
