The nature house is located in the Cottessen Nature Reserve, near the Geul River. It is an 18th-century farmhouse. It is partly half-timbered and partly built with natural stone (rubble stone) from the quarry. The quarry is located about 100 meters away. The nature house has been a national historic monument since 1967. There are charming towns in the area with many outdoor cafes and restaurants. Gulpen, Valkenburg, Vaals, Aachen, and Maastricht are all a short distance away. The nature house has 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms are located on the First floor, accessible via an open spiral staircase. Due to its layout, the cottage is less suitable for young children. The cottage has its own terrace with a gate and a private section in the meadow. There is also a separate storage shed for bicycles and other items. We look forward to welcoming you with comfortably made beds. Ground floor layout: entryway/hallway with built-in closet, restroom, living room, kitchen. Upper floor layout: 3 bedrooms, bathroom.

Highly recommended—definitely a place worth returning to.
Aanrader, zeker een huis om naar terug te gaan.
A very nice house, comfortable beds, a wonderful shower, everything you need in the kitchen, and set in beautiful surroundings. A large fenced-in field, perfect for the dog. A forest nearby, and the Geul River flows practically right around the corner. Our dog loved it.
Heel fijn huis, goede bedden, heerlijke douche, alles aanwezig in de keuken en in een prachtige omgeving. Groot omheind veld, ideaal voor de hond. Bos vlakbij en de Geul stroomt er praktisch om de hoek. Onze hond vond dat heerlijk.

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. The staircase to the 1st floor is a point of concern. This is, in our opinion, less suitable for guests who are less agile. Sun all day, with more than enough shade. Facilities in cottage were very good.
Een prachtig huisje op een prachtige locatie. De trap naar de 1e verdieping is een puntje van aandacht. Deze is, naar onze mening, minder geschikt voor gasten die minder goed ter been zijn. De gehele dag zon, met meer dan voldoende schaduwplekken. Faciliteiten in huisje waren zeer goed.
Beautiful surroundings, quiet.
Prachtige omgeving, rustig.

Attractive, clean cottage with all the facilities needed. Three bedrooms and cozy living kitchen. Possibility of sitting outside, both sheltered and with a view.
Sfeervol, schoon huisje met alle faciliteiten die nodig zijn. Drie slaapkamers en gezellige woonkeuken. Mogelijkheid tot buiten zitten, zowel beschut als met uitzicht.
Beautiful place in beautiful (hiking) surroundings.
Prachtige plek in mooie (wandel) omgeving.
