Our paradise is located freely on 2 acres of private forest in the Achterhoek. The house is from 1910 and in 2005 Piet Hein Eek rebuilt and decorated. Also when 't magnesium salt pool (8x4m) built. All furniture, doors, porch, beds, lamps, kitchen etc were designed and custom made together with PHE. There is 1 x 2p bedroom, and 1 x bedroom with bunk beds of 6x 1 pers beds. The lovely magnesium salt pool is open from 1/5 to 31/9. It is covered by an automatic slatted deck, so safe for children. The house is heated by central heating and a wood stove with wood from our own forest. The kitchen is fully equipped. We have 2 verandas, on 1 is a large 10-person dining table and the gas BBQ. 100 meters from the house is a railroad line where 4 times an hour a train passes. Makes considerable noise for 10 sec! We rent to families, not to groups of (young) adults. When booking Friday to Sunday (weekend rate) is the check out nice and late at 19.00
Nature and surroundings
Cosy accommodation in the middle of nature in a lovingly decorated cottage. Enjoy peace, space and silence. You share the forest with hundreds of birds, squirrels, deer, hares, owls, woodpeckers etc. The animals are not afraid and often show themselves. Here you live as much outside as inside. At night you dream away in fine beds with the sound of the owls. The house is not on a park but free in our own forest, in total privacy. The children enjoy themselves with the pool, trampo, swings etc. Thanks to the 2 large covered verandas you sit sheltered, even when it rains and in the evening. At 10 min drive you will find Deventer with many nice stores and restaurants. Nearby is Gorssel with museums, and cozy restaurants and stores. Around our house are plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling or running on 1 of the beautiful dirt roads. From Amsterdam you are there by car in. 70 min, there is also a fast train (1 hour 12 min). The bus is fast and stops nearby.

Cottage nostalgic, cute, everything already present. Only the cleaning was not as it should be. Owner speaks to the cleaner about this, hopefully this will improve. Also a little overdue maintenance. House itself we would give a 7.5, owner a 10, cleaning a 4, hence average of a 7 ...
Huisje nostalgisch, schattig, vanalles reeds aanwezig. Alleen de schoonmaak was niet zoals het hoort. Eigenaresse spreekt de schoonmaker hierop aan, hopelijk verbetert dit. Ook beetje achterstallig onderhoud. Huisje
zelf zouden wij een 7,5 voor geven, eigenaresse een 10, schoonmaak een 4, vandaar gemiddelde van een 7…Beautiful, quiet environment!With nice weather beautiful area with pool,
Prachtige, rustige omgeving!Met mooi weer prachtige omgeving met zwembad,

Het was een geweldig huisje, heerlijke plek afgelegen in het bos. van alle gemakken voorzien met goed uitgeruste keuken, heel veel spelletjes. hele leuke inrichting van het huisje door Piet Hein Eek. in de omgeving kun je mooie wandelingen maken vanuit het huisje zonder de auto te gebruiken, helemaal Top!

We felt right at home. Lots of games and puzzles to do (you really don't need to bring anything) and had great fun playing shuffleboard!
Wij voelden ons gelijk thuis. Veel spelletjes en puzzels om te doen (je hoeft echt niets mee te nemen) en hadden dikke pret met het sjoelen!
What a wonderful place! We really enjoyed the house, the peace, the space and the nice environment. 2 days was really too short, so definitely come back for a longer stay! The train we found not at all disturbing, just gives a bit of commotion :)
Wat een heerlijke plek! Wij hebben echt genoten van het huis, de rust, de ruimte en de fijne omgeving. 2 dagen was echt te kort, dus komen zeker nog een keer terug voor een langer verblijf! De trein vonden wij totaal niet storend, geeft juist een beetje reuring :)
