Our paradise is nestled on 2 hectares of private woodland in the Achterhoek region. The cottage dates back to 1910 and was renovated and furnished by Piet Hein Eek in 2005. The magnesium salt pool (8x4m) was also built at that time. All the furniture, doors, porch, beds, lamps, kitchen, etc., were designed in collaboration with PHE and custom-made. There is one double bedroom and one bedroom with a bunk bed consisting of two single beds. The delightful magnesium salt pool is open from May 1 through September 30. It is covered by an automatic slatted deck, making it safe for children. The house is heated by central heating and a small wood stove fueled by wood from our own forest. The kitchen is fully equipped. We have two porches; one features a large 10-person dining table and a gas BBQ. A small railroad track runs 100 meters from the house, with a train passing by four times an hour. It makes quite a racket for about 10 seconds! We rent to families, not to groups of (young) adults. For bookings from Friday through Sunday (weekend rate), check-out is a leisurely 7:00 PM.
Nature and surroundings
A charming stay surrounded by nature in a lovingly decorated cottage. Enjoy peace, space, and quiet. You’ll share the forest with hundreds of birds, squirrels, deer, hares, owls, woodpeckers, and more. The animals aren’t shy and often make themselves known. Here, you’ll spend just as much time outdoors as indoors. In the evening, drift off to sleep in comfortable beds to the sound of owls. The house isn’t located in a resort but stands freely in our own forest, offering total privacy. The kids will have a blast with the pool, trampoline, swings, and more. Thanks to the two large covered porches, you can sit comfortably sheltered, even when it rains or in the evening. A 10-minute drive away is the Hanseatic city of Deventer, with many great shops and restaurants. Nearby is Gorssel, with museums, cozy restaurants, and small shops. There are plenty of opportunities around our house for walking, biking, or jogging on one of the beautiful dirt roads. From Amsterdam, it’s a 70-minute drive; there’s also a high-speed train (1 hour 12 minutes). 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,
