This is one of the most beautiful places in our country. Completely at peace, with space and nature, in the beautiful surroundings around Gorssel. From April 2023 again temporarily in the rental. The spacious, luxurious nature house(s) is located on its own forest plot of no less than 1.8 hectares and is equipped with all the comforts for a pleasant stay. With comfortable sitting areas inside and outside, bedroom with double Auping bed, fully equipped kitchen (with Nespresso and Senseo, oven and microwave, toaster, sandwich maker etc. etc.), bathroom with bath, toilet upstairs and downstairs, central heating system, fiberglass internet and TV, alarm, etc. The beds are freshly made and bed and bath linen is provided. This nature house is ideal for true nature lovers, with lots of wildlife in the area. At night there is no ambient light other than the moon and stars. We value your stay and will do everything possible to make it enjoyable. Rental per week and on request occasionally different.

Nature and surroundings

A quiet dirt road and idyllic 200-meter forest path lead you up the large private lot. Deer also spend the night here, and sometimes a fox or even raccoon can be seen, and there are always many birds. The house stands on the edge of the forest with a transition overlooking the fields behind. At 300 meters walking distance is the Gorsselse Heide, where it is lovely to be. Walking and cycling can be done directly from the cottage via forest and sandy paths only. Huize is Joppe nearby, and Wijngaard de Zessprong, Museum More, and much, much more. Located between the beautiful Hanseatic cities of Deventer and Zutphen, and idyllic Lochem. Some of the Wednesday and Saturday afternoons some hum can be heard from a motocross track a few hundred meters away. However, this has never proved objectionable. You will enjoy optimal privacy, without people in the vicinity.

    Be sure to bring a sleep mask because a lot of light comes in, and mosquito repellent too, since there are no screens and there are really, really a lot of mosquitoes and flies. Outside, there’s a picnic table and two chairs. The garden isn’t very big—not big enough to lie down and sunbathe, for example ;) As for noise, you’ll occasionally hear the farmer working the fields, but other than that, no cars. Unfortunately, on the Heide, you can hear the adjacent go-kart track fairly regularly. And all in all, it’s a lovely and unique place to spend a week :-)

    Nature, peace & environment: 3 /5

    Plenty of privacy in a unique location. A beautiful sandy path leads you to this secluded cottage on a wooded lot. You’re completely out of sight of others and have total privacy. The surroundings are beautiful, and you’re right on the edge of the trailhead for the Gorsselse Heide. There’s plenty to do in the area, and you can be in Zutphen, Gorssel, or Deventer in no time. Within walking distance, there’s a little spot where you can grab a bite to eat and a drink. Another nice touch: there’s a small vineyard where you can enjoy sitting outside. The surroundings are gorgeous! The cottage itself is fully equipped, and even though it’s a bit dated, I found it to be a lovely place. There are plenty of magazines to browse through and a cabinet full of books and games. By the window, there are two leather lounge chairs perfect for reading a book. The couch is comfortable, and the beds are great. Upstairs, there’s also a bathtub with a view of the trees :)

    I missed a closet where you can hang your clothes, and hooks for towels in toilet and bathroom.

    Completely hidden in the greenery, with a view through to the open field. A beautiful thick oak tree in front of the terrace provides shade (I liked it). If you want in the sun you can also sit to the side of the house. At night I saw a starry sky that I had forgotten existed: no light pollution! The house itself is nice and spacious with good heating. Good beds. Both upstairs and downstairs a toilet is also nice.
