Nature house in Stroe
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 5 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
The attractive, picturesque nature house is located in the vast forest and heathland area of Boswachterij Kootwijk (5000 hectares) on the west side of the Stroeërheide. Here you really go back to basics, so do not expect luxury accommodation. The furnishings are dated to create a real hut atmosphere. The attic is not suitable for the elderly. The cabin is located in the northwestern part of the forestry, in a private forest plot of over five acres that is closed to the public. Wild boar, deer and red deer also use it. It is a unique opportunity for the true nature lover to spend an unforgettable vacation. The cabin has a sitting area with natural stone fireplace and wood stove, a dining and kitchen area with sink, gas stove, geyser and small refrigerator, an open sleeping loft for two people and a double bedroom. There is also a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. In the kitchenette there are plenty of pans, cutlery and crockery. Lighting is provided by a solar panel (12V) and kerosene lamps. On the lawn in front of the cottage there is a barbecue area and picnic bench. Garden chairs are available. A maximum of two additional persons can be booked. The loft is not suitable for the elderly or people with mobility problems. It is about "hut on the heath" for lovers who seek this and is thus the only one within middle Veluwe. As in the village of Stroe, you can hear (depending on wind direction) the distant road and train. Note: for reservation in the next year is again possible from November 1.
Nature and surroundings
As of May 2007, this the forest plot has been designated as an official estate under the Natural Beauty Act. You can walk, bike and unwind in the area, enjoying the beautiful nature. It is located in the closed wildlife area, which has the consequence that deer, red deer and wild boar can occur up to near the nature house. Dogs are allowed, but you must respect the presence of (coarse) game with, especially in spring, required peace and quiet.

We have never experienced this before.
Dit hebben we nog nooit meegemaakt.
This was truly a cottage in the Veluwe as you imagined it at home. But it was also an experience.
Dit was echt een huisje op de Veluwe zoals je het thuis hebt bedacht. Maar het was ook een ervaring.

The quiet well secluded you hear only slightly in the distance sometimes the train or highway is just how the wind is not disturbing The ladders are loose see that like they are fixed especially if you have more or older, if you want to sleep upstairs. love the atmosphere you still have just a little too little light in the house, a USB strip would be useful in terms of lighting to possibly connect around dining table / kitchen a small solar lamp outside on solar energy would be useful
de rust goed afgelegen
je hoort enigzins in de verte soms de trein of snelweg is maar net hoe de wind staat niet storend
De ladders staan los zie dat graag dat ze vast staan zeker als je met meerdere bent of ouder,als je boven wilt slapen.
Houd je echt van sfeer heb je nog net iets te weinig licht in huisje ,een usb strip zou wel handig zijn kwa verlichting om evt aan te sluiten rond eet tafel/ keuken
een klein solar lampje buiten op zonne energie zou wel handig zijnOn arrival exactly as the photo great On arrival yes I did almost 2 meters 11 times me head bumped to the beam hahahaha..... The lighting leaves much to be desired make sure you have enough lamps with you.
The oil lamp or what there is electric current about too little we went too early the nights were too cold in late March to freezing point. If the wood stove went out at night it was immediately much too cold. The two ladders to go upstairs are loose would almost say put that fixed life-threatening as older. Fortunately, a stretcher so came in handy (myself almost 2 meters hihi) Monday we arrived we had to cancel instead of Friday but Thursday we went home we got the nights and the morning was no longer warm against the freezing point It is definitely recommended if you want to go back in time than the rest, we were with them two next time I'd like to come back but alone and in the summer. Regards Cees OldenburgBij aan komst precies zoals de foto geweldig
Bij binnen komst ja idd ik zowieso bijna 2 meter 11 keer me hoofd gestoten aan de balk hahahaha.....
De verlichting laat aan de wensen over zorg dat je zelf genoeg lampen bij je hebt.
De olie lamp dan wel wat er aan electrische stroom over te weinig
wij waren te vroeg heen gegaan de nachten waren te koud eind maart tegen vriespunt aan.
Als de houtkachel uit ging snacht was het gelijk veeels te koud.
De beide ladders om naar boven te gaan staan los zou haast zeggen zet die vast levensgevaarlijk als al wat ouder bent. Gelukkig een stretcher mee dus kwam mooi van pas ( ben zelf bijna 2 meter hihi)
Maandag aan gekomen we moesten wel af haken ipv vrijdag maar donderdag naar huis gegaan we kregen het de nachten en de ochtend niet meer warm was tegen het vriespunt
Het is zeker een aanrader als je terug in de tijd wilt dan de rust, we waren met ze tweetjes volgende keer kom ik graag terug maar dan wel alleen en in de zomer.

Away from civilization
Even weg vd bewoonde wereld
Because of the location of the cottage, in the middle of t forest , you experience nature at its best .
Door de ligging van het huisje, midden in t bos , ervaar je de natuur op zn best .
