A gem of a nature retreat right in the heart of the Netherlands. The nature house is situated on an estate surrounded by a wide variety of natural beauty. It’s unique for its authentic charm. The owner has lovingly restored the natural details of this house, which was moved here long ago from the Hoge Veluwe. The authenticity and simplicity, surrounded by the forest and the wildlife that inhabit this estate, give you the feeling of being temporarily detached from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The interior is very cozy, featuring two large balconies. The owner loves atmosphere and beautiful details, which are reflected in the interior. There is a sauna beneath the large balcony. The cost is €7 per person per sauna visit. The nature house is ideal for people seeking peace, tranquility, reflection, and space. It’s also ideal for writers seeking the right atmosphere to give shape to their creativity, as well as for entrepreneurs and managers who consciously choose a “healthy” time-out to recharge and find inspiration for a week. The cottage is located on an estate that is also home to several animals. The nature house has its own entrance and is fenced in.

Nature and surroundings

At the junction of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Gelderse Vallei lie the Den Treek-Henschoten and ‘t Heihuis estates. This vast area of forests, nature, farmland, and heathland spans nearly 2,200 hectares. The Den Treek-Henschoten estate is one of the largest private estates in the Netherlands. You’ll notice this in the endless space for hiking in a highly diverse nature area surrounding the nature house. At Henschotermeer, you can swim, go for a run around the lake, or simply relax on the beach during warm summer days. From the nature house, you can step right into the woods and walk to the impressive Pyramid of Austerlitz in just 15 minutes. The nature house is a place where many guests have found peace, experienced romance, and felt time stand still for a moment.

    We had a wonderful midweek getaway. Such a charmingly decorated cottage with cozy seating areas everywhere—in the shade, in the sun. The owner has an eye for detail, which is evident throughout the cottage; it’s very cozy. Lots of great tips, including for the surrounding area; the owner stopped by regularly with treats like homemade cake or apple pie with whipped cream. We really enjoyed it. So there are sounds of the countryside, but we actually found peace and quiet here this week. No hustle and bustle, just relaxation, warmth, and hospitality. A very pleasant stay. And oh yes: comfortable beds, a wonderful shower, a lovely garden, and a fantastic porch!

    A cute, charming little cottage right in the heart of the Den Treek-Henschoten countryside. You’ll be part of the country estate, along with peacocks, roosters, geese, horses, and wonderful dogs. You’ll have your privacy, but the animals will happily come by to say hello.

    It was wonderful to be able to just bike back to the cottage after our wedding, and it was a lovely place to unwind after all the excitement of the day. Our host, Jolanda, was also very friendly and even had a sweet little gift for us.

    A beautiful, cozy little house! We loved the porch, where we were able to read and chat late into the warm summer evenings while watching the sun set over the forest.

    Because it was so warm, we had to sleep with the windows wide open, but that meant we were bothered by the noise from the road and the rooster.

    Nice little house, great atmosphere. As far as we’re concerned, it could have been a bit cleaner. The balconies are wonderful! Keep in mind that the ceiling on the ground floor is low, which is something tall people should take into account. The animals and the garden are fantastic, and you can walk right into the woods from several different sides. The price is a bit on the high side. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend.

    Beautiful hiking trails, lovely views. Lots of nature in the area; the Utrechtse Heuvelrug is gorgeous. There is a lot of noise from the Doornseweg, though. It’s closer than we thought it would be.
