A delightful, luxurious Scandinavian-style log cabin with unobstructed views of nature. From the living room, you have a 180-degree view of the ’t Hackfort estate, managed by Natuurmonumenten: hares, roe deer, owls, and many songbirds come right up to you, just a few meters away. This modern nature house is cozy in all seasons, thanks to its fireplace and central heating, double-glazed windows, and thick, stacked log walls. In winter, relax by the fire after a beautiful walk. In summer, you’ll wake up to the chirping of countless birds. The nature house has two bedrooms, each with a double bed, closet space, and a workspace. The kitchen features a granite countertop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and coffee maker. The bathroom has a nice shower, sink, and toilet. The living room is equipped with Wi-Fi and a TV. The nature house is accessible by public transportation up to 400 meters away. Not suitable for children under 8 years of age due to an unfenced ditch.

Nature and surroundings

Right from the nature house, you can walk onto the ‘t Hackfort estate, managed by Natuurmonumenten: past the castle, the watermill, the park forest, the vegetable garden, and the orchard, through the small-scale farmland of the Achterhoek. Grab a snack at Ludgerus or Rietveld Farm. Enjoy lunch or dinner at De Keuken van Hackfort. Or bike to the IJssel River, 4 km away, and then another 4 km to the Hanseatic city of Zutphen, or to Doesburg, Almen, Ruurlo, Lochem, or Deventer. For those who love castles, the estates around Vorden are waiting to be explored, and in the summer, there’s no better swimming pool than the one in this little town in the Achterhoek. Nearby hiking trails: Ockhorster Hiking Trail, Klompenkaerlspad, Trekvogel Route, Pieterpad. Beautiful bike routes: The 8-Castles Route (40 km) is the oldest signposted bike route in the Netherlands. Or a bike ride along the IJssel River to Deventer. Or to the beautiful old town of Bronckhorst. And every morning (Wed–Sat), fresh bread from the local bakery in Wichmond.

    It's a simple but neat log cabin
    with everything you basically need. The screen doors and windows are very nice. We enjoyed a wonderful vacation there.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful spot next to a field. We saw hares, roe deer, and many birds there every day. The hiking and biking trails of the Hackfort estate start almost right around the corner. In short, it’s a wonderful spot for those who love peace and nature. You can pick up organic vegetables at Hackfort Castle, and for other groceries, the charming town of Vorden is just 2 km away. Be sure to try the bread from Besseling Bakery and Jerome’s homemade nougat in Wichmond.
    The terrace at Ludger’s is also highly recommended. Even on hot days, it’s nice to sit there under the trees...

    in a stunning location. Above, I've copied a column I write as a nature columnist for the Eindhovens Dagblad.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    With a little luck, our little bunny will live to be about seven years old.

    We’ve settled in the Achterhoek. The little cottage where we’re staying for a week overlooks a meadow that’s part of the beautiful Hackfort estate. The nature reserve (complete with a castle) managed by Natuurmonumenten is dotted with old deciduous forests interspersed with fields, hedgerows, and meadows. We read in a booklet that this centuries-old natural beauty is thanks to a particularly headstrong baron who held back the negative aspects of progress. We need more headstrong barons.
    From the cottage, we look out over a ditch lined with a few pollarded willows. It’s a shame that they’re already being “cleared” at this time of year. In the reed bed—which has since disappeared—I used to hear the little reed warbler sing regularly. From a woodshed, a weasel (it must be one) dashes out three times in the evening twilight toward the ditch, only to vanish into the bank. But the most beautiful sight is the hare.
    A half-grown hare hopped leisurely toward the cottage, stopping three meters
