Completely renovated in 2025! A cabin in a private paradise for 2 to 3 people. This nature house is very private and secluded. A prime location in a 2,000-meter paradise-like garden overlooking the meadows on the outskirts of Schandelo. Surrounded by shrubs and trees, no one can see you. Ponds, native plants and trees—a true bird paradise, from kestrels to nuthatches. Here, in this eco-friendly setting, you can easily unwind for a few days. The cabin features a fully equipped kitchen with cutlery, plates, a refrigerator, a freezer, an oven, cooking facilities, and a coffee maker. In the living room, with a sitting area, table, chairs, and rocking chair, you can enjoy a cozy time around the wood stove. Luxurious bedroom with air conditioning, a double bed, toilet, and shower, plus a small, low loft with a single mattress, bedding, and towels. Pick up the house key at the main house. The sauna in the mobile home can be reserved separately. Please note: the loft is suitable for one child; it is a tighter fit for adults.

Nature and surroundings

The location is 2 km away from the Pieter Trail. Several bike routes also lead right to the door. The XL log cabin is 3 km from De Ravenvennen Nature Park and is situated at the southern tip of De Maasduinen National Park, the Netherlands’ longest national park. The meadow across the way is a food forest; there are a few chickens roaming around, and you’ll find the host’s 10 bee colonies there. His excellent honey is also available for purchase as a souvenir or to enjoy every day—a true explosion of flavor. Among our guests are many birdwatchers who can spot various species of woodpeckers and owls right from their chairs. Be sure to ask about the glass gallery in your host’s home—he’d be happy to give you a tour.

    Everything was well organized. A very nice host who gave great tips about the area.

    It was a fantastic experience. It was very hot for two weeks, but thanks to the air conditioning in the cottage, it was a delight to stay there. Outside in the huge garden, we could sit in the shade in several spots or choose to sit in the sun. We enjoyed seeing the many birds and other animals in the garden and beyond.

    A wonderful base for exploring, but also a great place to just relax and do nothing.
    The caretakers are true jack-of-all-trades—it’s amazing how they let nature take its course while still keeping it under control.
    How Herman Marrisen manages to do it all is a mystery to me—he’s a glass artist, beekeeper, koi breeder, food forest manager, and bed-and-breakfast host, and he even finds time to give a tour of his glass studio.
    He does all this with the support of his wife, Henny, who tends to the herbs, among other things, and who gave us a bag of delicious blueberries from the food forest as a farewell gift.
    A tip for anyone who loves peace and nature.
    The only downside is the gnats, but hey, that’s nature too—and DEET helps.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Great—fully equipped with all the amenities, featuring a lovely, large garden with a unique catalpa tree—it’s really beautiful.
