At the edge of the village of Baarn, directly adjacent to the Baarn Forest (80 hectares) and the gardens of Castle Groeneveld (130 hectares) is the nature house. The beautiful detached cottage of 50 m2, thoroughly renovated in 2019, is located in a large garden and is fully equipped. The layout of the nature house: a sitting/dining room on the ground floor and slightly higher a room with well-equipped kitchen, the bathroom and stairs to the master bedroom. For discussion, is the use of multiple sleeping places. The roof floor - accessible by a (steep) wooden staircase - can possibly be pulled into the living area. Here there is a second bedroom with a double bed. There is also a sofa bed. Through the garden doors you enter our beautiful garden, with a large lawn, of which an area of 400 m2, can be freely used by guests. You will also relax outside, especially on the covered veranda belonging to the cottage.

Nature and surroundings

ENVIRONMENT: The nature house is located on the edge of an eldorado of cycling and walking routes, on the northern border of the Utrecht Hill Ridge. Our garden (2500) borders on 3 sides directly on the vast Baarnse Bos. At 400 meters distance is Hoeve Ravenstein, a beautifully maintained farm with an excellent farm store with organic regional products, a farm café, a picking garden, a cowshed etc. 500 meters from the lodge is Kasteel Groeneveld, a special historic country estate. Here you are embraced by ancient forests and green meadows. Small-scale concerts, educational programs, treasure hunts and exhibitions are organized in and near the castle itself. For guests who love absolute quiet, really in the middle of nature, our nature house is less suitable. The provincial road is about 100 meters away, but at times audible. On the same provincial road is at 1 1/2 kilometer Soestdijk Palace.

    Fine cottage with everything in it that you need.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Although on a busy road yet experienced peace and quiet. We could walk with the dog into the estate Groeneveld or the forest.

    The cottage is good in a beautiful setting, but the noise especially in the sleeping area and the many rules unfortunately detract from the whole experience. Heating with rules ???? or not present in the bathroom ???? The kitchen utensils do fall short incomplete or missing. Response from landlord: How annoying that you have experienced the stay in our cottage from March 18 to 27 like this. The house rules are normally very appreciated by our guests. I do not recognize the heating with rules. There is floor heating, also in the bathroom and there are 2 separate electric radiators in the living room and bedroom. New for us is the incomplete, inadequate or missing kitchen utensils. We live next door to the cottage, and we would have been happy to serve you in this regard as well. Finally, the noise of the train/train tracks, for example; it is 1000 meters from the cottage.

    Nature, peace & environment: 2 /5

    Beautiful surroundings, but unfortunately very much traffic noise (train, cars and airplane noise).

    We were missing an extractor fan in the kitchen, this caused the fire alarm to go off.

    Quietness takes a while, you have to get used to the busy through road first, especially in the bedroom. In the living room you hear nothing except birds. But once you get used to that, it's super. You walk from the cottage so the park Groeneveld or the woods at Hoeve Ravenstein. Especially wonderful with your dog, because he is allowed to run loose, if under guard.
