    A surprising arrival via the dirt road. It grabs you right away!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The log cabin is beautifully built! A true masterpiece of craftsmanship! We were impressed by the building(s). I had some initial difficulties—I had to get used to the fact that it’s a dark cabin, but it does have a lovely porch and a stunning view. The kitchenette felt too sticky to me—I think because the wrong varnish was used—and the workspace is very small. It’s back to basics, and that’s quite an experience in 2026. Keeping things simple is fine, but it could be cleaner—when I turned on the flashlight, I was really startled by the dust. That could be improved. What’s very impractical is that the fridge and microwave are downstairs. We set up our cooler and used that instead.
    We went to Hellendoorn to find a spot near the blooming heather. We succeeded!!! It was a 5-minute drive to Nijverdal, and we also got to enjoy the purple-blooming heather.

    It was a week we’ll never forget.

    Response from the host:
    Thank you for your review. It’s great to read that you had a good time. Your comment about the countertop is correct. We chose boiled linseed oil instead of varnish for both the wooden countertop and the table, as well as the exterior. After the season, we’ll apply a coat of matte boat varnish. The cabin is surrounded by 1 hectare of heathland, which makes the location special. However, it’s difficult to keep the cabin completely dust-free; we do our best. The lack of space in the kitchen is why the refrigerator is located on the ground floor. The trees on the sides and back of the cabin add charm and provide shade, even if they do block some light. Guests in these hectic times often appreciate the “back to basics” feel of this self-built cabin.

    Comfortable beds. Beautiful fireplace, small and cozy house, small kitchen with two burners, a surprisingly large basement with a refrigerator, microwave, and oven, and four rooms in the basement. The stairs leading down are narrow, but that’s not a problem for us.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This is my third time staying at this cabin. It's perfect if you love a beautiful, off-grid log cabin without luxuries like a dishwasher. Breathtaking views.

    Great little cottage, though it’s low to the ceiling. My husband and son kept bumping their heads.
    And it was a shame that we had to use generators for electricity and water.

    The peace and quiet and the open space were wonderful.
