This former garage was converted in September 2016 into a very luxurious and stylish nature house. Ideal for two people, but also suitable for a family with two children or four friends. It is fully insulated and is heated by underfloor heating and a wood stove. With a window as large as the garage doors and on the other side windows up to the ridge and three large skylights, it is a lovely light space with stunning views of garden and forest. Meanwhile, at the request of some guests, blinds have been installed for the windows next to the entrance. The nature house consists of one large room with a wooden unit in the middle. On one side of the unit is a full kitchen. On the other side is a small but tasteful shower, toilet and sink. The unit offers spacious closets, drawers and a staircase leading upstairs. There is a double bed. For lodgers afraid of heights, there is a spacious, comfortable couch in the sitting room that turns into a double bed with one move. The drawings and images by the landlords' son make the room look personal and cheerful. The nature house has its own private and sheltered terrace with comfortable chairs and cushions. In the woods there is a bench to enjoy nature in peace. There is also a hammock. There is Wifi and TV via iPad. Check-in is after 1:00 pm is and check-out is before 11:00 am.

Eight kilometers away is ideal cycling in the forests of Lage Vuursche, Soestdijk and Castle Groeneveld in Baarn. 10 kilometers south from Driebergen lies the Utrechtse Heuvelrug with its Stichtse Lustwarande, a series of more than 100 country estates from De Bilt to Rhenen. Culture is also within easy reach. The heart of Utrecht is 10 minutes away by car or bus, but can also be easily reached by bike (12 kilometers). The Dom church/tower, the Central Museum, the Railway Museum, the flower market on Saturdays at Janskerkhof combined with a terrace/restaurant on the canal make for a wonderful day out.

MarliesFebruary 26, 2026General rating:
Lovely cottage. Of all the amenities. Creatively decorated. Pleasant contact with the owner.
Heerlijk huisje. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Creatief ingericht. Prettig contact met de eigenaar.
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful green surroundings. Many birds seen in the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Small minus point: the noise of the road nearby. This will be less when the trees are in leaf. Lots of space at the cottage to be outside, in nature. A beautiful forest area a stone's throw away, where there are several hiking trails and where you can wander through.
Mooie groene omgeving. Veel vogels gezien in de directe omgeving van het huisje. Klein minpuntje: het geluid van de weg die er in de buurt is. Dat zal minder zijn als de bomen in blad zijn. Veel ruimte bij het huisje om buiten te zijn, in de natuur. Een prachtig bosgebied op een steenworp afstand, waar verschillende wandelroutes zijn en waar je heerlijk doorheen kunt dwalen.
