Nature house in Wenum Wiesel
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 2 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
The nature house was once a cowshed on a farm that has been in existence for over 100 years and once covered a large part of Wiesel. The cowshed was renovated, a process that slightly accentuated its appearance, which already resembled a small chapel. The dome was replaced with a small glass dome. The nature house exudes an exceptional sense of tranquility, even on the inside. This may be due to the crystal-colored and stained-glass windows and doors. The nature house is situated in the middle of a meadow, 100 meters from the main farmhouse. The cottage is also available for five people under house code 28337, also in Wenum Wiesel. Because the cottage is a former cowshed, it is not connected to the sewer system but to a cesspool. Hence the request to dispose of toilet paper in the small bucket as much as possible. The property is fully fenced; dogs can roam freely and safely around the cottage on a quarter-hectare lot.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is situated in a stunning location just north of Apeldoorn, next to the grounds of Paleis Het Loo (a 10-minute walk), the Kroondomeinen (same), and the Gelders Landschap (same), in a gently rolling, partly wooded farmland landscape. Because it lies in the eastern lee of the Veluwe Massif, it is rarely windy there—and when it is, the wind is always lighter than elsewhere. It is often exceptionally quiet, and all you can hear is a vast variety of birds. Interesting walks or (off-road) bike rides, starting right from the nature house, can range from five minutes to many hours in the Veluwe, through meadows, vast forests, along streams and other bodies of water, over sand and gravel paths, and along small paved roads. Still, the nearest bus stop is just a 10-minute walk away, good restaurants and lunch spots are 2 to 15 minutes away on foot, the shopping area is a 10-minute bike ride, and Apeldoorn’s city center and train station are a 20-minute bike ride away.

The price-quality ratio is out of balance.
Prijs kwaliteit niet in verhouding.
Beautiful place. The cottage has a lovely atmosphere. But the house itself was dusty, with cobwebs on the ceiling.
The double bed in the room wasn’t made up properly—no decent mattress cover, sheet, or mattress topper. It wasn’t a proper bed.
It’s all a bit dated.Prachtige plek. Huisje heeft mooie sfeer. Maar huis zelf was stoffig, spinnenwebben aan het plafond.
Opmaken van het 2 persoonsbed in de kamer, geen goede molton, laken en of topper. Geen volwaardig bed.
Geheel wat gedateerd.This text is automatically translated. -

It's a great place to come for a walk, for example. Very dog-friendly. The yard is large and fenced in.
Heel fijn als je komt om bijv te wandelen. Heel geschikt voor honden. De tuin is groot en afgezet.
The cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious, with a great yard for the dogs. The kitchen, bathroom, and living room were all great. There’s a small bedroom downstairs (which is fine) and a double sofa bed downstairs. There’s also a bedroom in the attic, which you reach via a steep staircase. This room isn’t easily accessible for older people.
The cottage is beautifully situated in the woods. We hardly used our car because we wanted to go for walks with the dogs. The cottage is perfect for that. We had lunch nearby twice. There is some traffic passing by the cottage, but at night it’s wonderfully quiet.
All in all, we had a wonderful time there and will definitely come back. The owners are very helpful and friendly.Het huisje was voor ons precies wat we zochten. Ruim met een geweldige tuin voor de honden. Keuken,badkamer,zitkamer waren prima. Er is een kleine slaapkamer beneden (prima) en een tweepersoonsbed bank beneden. Verder een slaapkamer op de zolder/vliering. Hier kom je dmv een steile trap. Deze kamer is voor oudere mensen niet makkelijk toegangbaar.
Het huisje ligt heerlijk in het bos. Wij hebben onze auto nauwelijks gebruikt omdat wij wilden lopen met de honden. Daar is het huis heel geschikt voor. We hebben 2x geluncht in de buurt. Er komen wel wat auto’s langs het huisje. S’nachts is het heerlijk stil.
Al met al vonden wij het er heerlijk en komen wij zeker nog een keertje. De eigenaren zijn zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk.This text is automatically translated. -

A lovely natural setting and a kilometer from the cottage
Fijne natuurlijke omgeving in en km het huisje
A lovely, peaceful setting in and around the beautiful cottage. We enjoyed the tranquility the house offers. We had originally planned to go there with our dog, but ended up going together instead.
There’s a beautiful, large garden, and you can easily go for walks and bike rides in the surrounding area.Een mooie rustige omgeving in en om het mooie huisje. We hebben genoten van rust die het huis geeft. We zouden eerst met hond erheen maar zijn met er samen naar toe gegaan.
Mooie grote tuin en je kunt er zo in de ongevibg wandelen en fietsen.This text is automatically translated.
