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 stairs to the attic bedroom are indeed very steep—more like a ladder, as we’d already read in reviews—but fortunately, the extra bedroom and sofa bed downstairs offered a great alternative.
The only downside was the €80.00 cleaning fee. We thought that was quite pricey, especially since there were quite a few cobwebs. Despite that, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay!De trap naar de zolderslaapkamer is inderdaad erg steil — eerder een ladder, zoals we al in reviews hadden gelezen — maar gelukkig bood de extra slaapkamer en slaapbank beneden een prima alternatief.
Het enige minpuntje waren de schoonmaakkosten van € 80,00. Dat vonden we behoorlijk aan de prijs, zeker omdat er nogal wat spinnenwebben hingen. Desondanks hebben we een heerlijk en ontspannen verblijf gehad!Upon arrival, we were immediately given a warm welcome by the friendly owner. The cottage was fully equipped, tastefully decorated, and featured beautiful stained-glass windows. The surroundings exuded a wonderful sense of tranquility. We therefore went on plenty of walks through the woods and across Kroondomein Het Loo, which borders the cottage’s garden.
Bij aankomst werden we direct warm verwelkomd door de vriendelijke eigenaar. Het huisje was van alle gemakken voorzien, smaakvol ingericht en met prachtige glas-in-loodramen. De omgeving straalde een heerlijke rust uit. We hebben dan ook volop gewandeld door de bossen en over Kroondomein Het Loo. Wat aan grenst op de tuin van het huisje.

It was great that we could go right inside when we arrived. The cottage is fully equipped.
Tip: We thought that the room with the two-seater sofa could easily be converted into a bedroom with a double bed, which would make it more accessible to many more people.Fijn dat we bij aankomst direct naar binnen konden. Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien.
Tip: We bedachten dat de ruimte met het tweezitsbankje eenvoudig tot slaapkamer met 2 persoonsbed zou kunnen worden omgetoverd, waardoor het voor veel meer mensen toegankelijker zou kunnen worden.How was
- the tranquility: It’s hard to judge fully. We think it’s very peaceful there, but due to construction work behind the cottage, there was a lot of ambient noise at the time.
- The space: A cottage with its own unique atmosphere and character—that’s what we love. We brought some firewood with us and enjoyed the cozy wood stove in the evenings. The cottage is big enough for 2 people. We decided at the last minute not to bring our dog, but he would have had a great time there too.
- Natural surroundings: Going for walks right from the cottage is really nice. The immediate surroundings are beautiful. Plus, you can find plenty of natural beauty throughout the Veluwe.Hoe was
- de rust: Niet geheel te beoordelen. We denken dat het er heel rustig is, maar door bouwwerkzaamheden achter het huisje waren er op dit moment veel omgevingsgeluiden.
- de ruimte: Een huisje met een heel eigen sfeer en karakter, daar houden wij van. We hadden hout meegenomen en in de avonden genoten wij dan ook van de heerlijke houtkachel. Het huisje is voor 2 personen groot genoeg. Op het laatste moment de hond niet meegenomen, maar die had er ook prima kunnen vertoeven.
- Natuur omgeving: wandelen vanuit het huisje is al heel erg fijn. Prachtige directe omgeving. Verder kun je in de Veluwe veel natuurpracht vinden.This text is automatically translated. -

From the moment I walked in, a sense of calm came over me.
The little house radiates this feeling.Vanaf het moment dat ik binnen kwam viel er al een rust over me
Huisje straalt dit uitI spent a fantastic, sunny midweek in the magical renovated cow barn.
The beautiful stained-glass windows and the lovely authentic details—there was always something new to discover.
The owners were so kind; they lived right next door and were always willing to answer any questions.
I’ll definitely be back someday.Ik heb een fantastische zonnige midweek in de magische verbouwde koeienstal doorgebracht.
De prachtige glas in lood ramen en de mooie authentieke details, je ontdekte steeds weer iets nieuws.
Lieve eigenaren die naast het huisje woonden en altijd bereid waren om vragen te beantwoorden.
Ik kom zeker nog een keertje terugThis text is automatically translated.
