The nature house stands on private land on the river IJssel, in the hamlet of Cortenoever near Brummen. The IJsselhuisje is situated on a dead end road. As soon as you drive up the driveway to the IJsselhuisje, you feel the tranquility emanating from the river. It is ideal for people, who want to recover from the hustle and bustle of the city, read a book or walk and cycle.

Surrounding the cottage are meadows and arable fields. The road ends in a nature reserve, which runs as far as Zutphen. From the terrace you have a view of the river IJssel. Bicycles are at your disposal free of charge. Zutphen, Bronkhorst, Doesburg and the Posbank are within cycling distance.
