This nature house in the Achterhoek region is situated in a quiet spot in the countryside between Almen, Gorssel, Harfsen, and Laren. If you’re looking to unwind and enjoy a book in peace, go for a nice walk, or take a bike ride, you’ve come to the right place. Right on your doorstep is the Braakhekke Bultenpad, a traditional wooden-shoe trail that winds through the beautiful Enken landscape. By bike, you can reach the lovely Hanseatic cities of Zutphen and Deventer in about half an hour. The beautiful IJssel River basin is nearby, and Museum More in Gorssel makes for a lovely walking destination. The Achterhoek 39 bike junction is 300 meters away. The cottage is fully equipped, and your rental includes bed and bath linens.

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is nestled among the meadows. The Achterhoek region is known for its bocage landscape, where rows of trees, meadows, and fields alternate. Forests and heathland are within walking distance of the cottage. The Braakhekken Bultenpad clog trail runs right past the front door. The Harfsensche Beek stream and the beautiful IJssel river basin are also nearby. The roads here are quiet. The bocage landscape provides plenty of space for all kinds of bird species, ranging from geese, crows, and gulls to goldfinches, linnets, and the green woodpecker. Rare species such as partridges and quails have even been spotted in the garden. Sometimes you’ll see roe deer and hares, while hedgehogs are regular visitors.

    The cottage is neat, cozy, well-maintained, and has absolutely everything you need.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The cottage is located in a quiet area surrounded by farmland. It’s attached to the main building, but you have plenty of private outdoor space. Tall people should be careful at the entrance, on the stairs leading upstairs, and in the kitchen.

    A really nice place!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Located in a lovely, quiet spot among the meadows. A cozy cottage with a warm atmosphere, a beautiful garden offering plenty of privacy, and a wonderful view. The silence, the tranquility, the greenery everywhere—it’s wonderful.
    Plenty of walking and biking opportunities right from the cottage; Laren and Gorssel are nearby for grocery shopping.
    Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys visiting the Achterhoek region. We’ll definitely be returning to this beautiful spot!

    Everything was there. I liked that there was a dishwasher.
    Just watch your head in the stairwell leading to the bedroom.
    Great garden with trees—so green and lovely.
    Beautiful surroundings for walking and biking.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A spacious vacation home with a wonderfully peaceful, green garden.
    I spent a lot of time sitting under the trees with a book; we also had beautiful weather.
    We ate outside at the garden table.
    There was plenty of privacy.
    Deventer and Zutphen are conveniently nearby.
