Stay and relax in the IJssel delta. This is possible in this beautiful preserved farmhouse from 1890, surrounded by nature! A comfortable and tastefully decorated weekend and vacation accommodation with unobstructed views of the river IJssel and the Zalkerbos. In the living room a wood stove, the clay stucco walls give a nice indoor climate. It is pleasantly warm in winter with underfloor heating, in summer it stays nice and cool inside! On the ground floor: three bedrooms with two comfortable box springs, two sl.k with sink. Bathroom and a second toilet in the hallway, upstairs a spacious double box bed. Made beds and towels. The kitchen has an oven with steam function. Around the house there are several seating areas where you can sit in the sun and out of the wind, or in the shade under the walnut, chestnut or linden tree if it is too hot. Everywhere you have a nice view; on the animals in the meadow, the IJssel, the Zalkerbos and the beautiful garden.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located in the green floodplain of the beautiful river IJssel. A beautiful landscape with picturesque skies. At 800 meters from the house is the IJsselstrand with clean swimming water. The immediate area with the boot path is very worthwhile for nature and peace seekers. The Zalkerbos is known for its vegetation, especially in spring. In addition, the floodplains provide a habitat and resting place for many bird species. The area consists of puddle wetlands and stream valley grasslands and belongs to Natura2000 area. Zalk is 30 minutes by bike (10 by car) from the Hanseatic cities of Zwolle, Hattem and Kampen. If you cross the IJssel with the bicycle ferry (from April to November) you come to a car-free cycle route through the Vreugderijker Waard; an eldorado for birdwatchers! Within walking distance there is the cozy restaurant De Oase in Zalk. Furthermore, the medieval Sint Nicolaaskerk and the historic mill De Valk can be visited. Rental bikes, e-bikes, are available by appointment.

    Great house in a beautiful setting!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had such a wonderful time with the family! The owner—who is also our neighbor—of this charming renovated farmhouse certainly contributed to that! Our 4-year-old grandson got to help pick nuts and apples. He even learned to ride a bike on the little bike they brought out for him. Our 1.5-year-old granddaughter especially enjoyed feeding the pigs. We had a wonderful time biking and hiking. The view from the house of the meadow with the ox, sheep, and pigs in the morning sun was truly idyllic. We were sad that our vacation was already over!

    Everything was great.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Beautiful house, large living room with a view of the surroundings. Perfect for our family—grandpa and grandma with their two daughters and their husbands, and two 2-year-old children. It has everything we need: comfortable beds, and for the kids, two cribs, two high chairs, and a changing pad. Friendly pigs, sheep, and an elderly bull and horse right outside the door. It was fun to feed the pigs with the little ones. There’s also a large patio with great patio furniture and a lovely lawn. We enjoyed the space and the peace and quiet.
    Within walking distance is a ferry to the Zalk tea house and a small beach. It’s wonderful to play in the sand and go swimming.
    We had a wonderful time.
    Our host, Marianne, lives next door, and she was always available to answer any questions. She also gave us great tips on things to do in the area.
