Nature and surroundings
Welsum is located in a special part of Overijssel, not on the east but on the west bank of the river IJssel. In this way enclosed between Gelderland and the IJssel, it is a particularly remote part of the Netherlands (where it is really dark at night). The nature house is located on a hectare of nature garden on the ancient Erveweg, amidst forest plots, meadows and orchards. It is about a 10-minute bike ride to the rustic IJsseldijk, which winds along the IJssel River between Zwolle and Deventer. The area is ideal for rural cycling and walking, for example with the dog (who is also welcome in the cottage). With the ferry you cross the river to Olst. On this other side of the IJssel lies the forest and castle-rich Salland. The inspiring cities of Deventer and Zwolle are nearby. For daily shopping you can go to surrounding villages such as Olst, Epe or Terwolde. Heading west, the Veluwe is nearby.

Very nice and comfortable nature house. Very spacious for 2 people. Great Auping bed and good shower. Stylish decor with an eye for detail. Nice view over meadows with sheep and horses. Very friendly owners with attention to nature and the environment. The grounds around the cottage are now a bit more natural/grown than in the pictures. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee in the sun on the terrace behind the cottage. It was suddenly very hot (29-30 degrees), but thanks to shaded terrace still able to enjoy outside. Sleeping and living room can be cooled with air conditioning. Beautiful surroundings for walking/biking along the river IJssel or nature reserve near Heerde.
Heel mooi en comfortabel natuurhuisje. Zeer ruim voor 2 personen. Geweldig Auping bed en goede douche. Stijlvolle inrichting met oog voor detail. Leuk uitzicht over weides met schaapjes en paardjes. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren met aandacht voor natuur en milieu. Het terrein rondom het huisje is inmiddels wat meer natuurlijk/wilder begroeid dan op de foto's. We hebben genoten van een ontbijt en koffie in de zon op het terras achter het huisje. Het was plotseling zeer warm (29-30 graden), maar dankzij schaduwrijke terras toch heerlijk van buiten kunnen genieten. Slaap- en woonkamer kunnen gekoeld worden met airco. Prachtige omgeving om te wandelen/fietsen langs de IJssel of natuurgebied bij Heerde.

We had a wonderful weekend, despite the rainy weather, and can't wait to come back again.
Wij hadden een heerlijk weekend, ondanks het regenachtige weer, en kunnen niet wachten nog een keer terug te komen.
A lovely and spacious cottage fully equipped and decorated with great taste and attention to people and nature. Here you can completely relax. The windows overlook the garden, chickens and sheep. In the morning you are awakened by the singing of the birds. Sander and Joline are incredibly friendly, interested and helpful. From the cottage are all kinds of walking or cycling tours possible. Within 15 minutes by bike you are at the beautiful river IJssel, cycling the other way you are so on the Veluwe, and who wants to go to town, both Deventer and Zwolle are nearby.
Een heerlijk en ruim huisje van alle gemakken voorzien en met zeer veel smaak en aandacht voor mens en natuur ingericht. Hier kom je helemaal tot rust. De ramen geven uitzicht op de tuin, de kippen en de schapen. 's Ochtend word je gewekt door het gefluit van de vogels. Sander en Joline zijn ontzettend vriendelijk, geinteresseerd en behulpzaam. Vanuit het huisje zijn allerlei wandel of fietstochten mogelijk. Binnen 15 min sta je met de fiets aan de prachtige IJssel, fiets je de andere kant op ben je zo op de Veluwe, en wie naar de stad wil, zowel Deventer als Zwolle liggen dichtbij.
