Guests who stayed here find the surroundings fantastic for
Bird watching Cycling Hiking

Plenty of privacy—a beautifully situated, comfortable nature house (approximately 120 m²) on a wooded lot of 3,500 m² in the outskirts of Winterswijk. Sleeps 6 (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms), spacious kitchen (oven/dishwasher), pantry, and living room; large terrace with unobstructed views of a sheep pasture. The nature house is in a very quiet location. The surroundings are beautiful: a rolling landscape perfect for biking and hiking, swimming lakes, nature reserves, and streams. There are plenty of dining options, and a vineyard is just around the corner, as is a golf course. Charming little towns. Plenty of activities for children. The cozy Winterswijk town center and Germany are nearby. There are bikes and hammocks available, and plenty of play areas. A BBQ and outdoor fire pit. A trampoline. Table tennis. Games, books, Donald Duck comics, and fast internet. It’s our second home, where we love to stay ourselves and which we rent out to nature lovers by arrangement.

    Everything you need is here. Clean and well-maintained.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The passing sound of a farm vehicle made me realize just how peaceful and quiet this area of woodlands and rolling countryside was. The meadow with sheep behind the house nestled in the woods had a peaceful atmosphere.

    A wonderfully well-equipped cottage. A lovely natural garden and a view of pastures with sheep. Birds, squirrels, and above all, peace and quiet.
