Lovely place to stay. Nature house for peace seekers and nature lovers but also for families with (young) children who want to romp in the garden, play in the woods and swim in the lake. The mentioned check-in times only apply if there are other guests following your stay. If that is not the case you can come as early and leave as late as you like. The TV only has NPO start. The garden is mostly fenced the green but there is no gate at the entrance for the car.

It has very nice cycling routes for both touring bikes and mountain bikes and is also known for its beautiful castles. But also Utrecht and Amersfoort are just a stone's throw away.

    The cottage is cute, small, and cozy. It is not bigger than it needs to be. The location is also great, and the surroundings are wonderful. The kids really loved the trampoline.
    Communication with the owner was also very pleasant.

    Unfortunately, there were a few minor issues regarding cleanliness; cigarette butts from the previous guests were still on the patio, it smelled bad inside (especially in the entryway and the bathroom), and the beds and blankets didn’t look very fresh anymore.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a cute little cottage! Even though it’s located in a park, you hardly notice it. Everything is beautifully overgrown, creating a natural barrier between the cottages. The surroundings are fantastic for running, hiking, and biking, at the very least! (But there are plenty of other things to do as well!)

    We had a wonderful vacation there with our two young children. The cottage was an ideal, peaceful base for trips to the surrounding nature reserves, and Amersfoort and Utrecht are also just a short drive away. So there’s something for everyone!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is in a quiet location, near the lake. The forest offers a perfect way to cool off on hot days. Highly recommended!

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
