This nature house is situated in a beautiful location in Twente, within a large nature reserve. It features 20,000 m² of private grounds. The nature house was built in 1925 as a hunting lodge and has recently been renovated while preserving its authentic character. It’s situated in a unique spot where you can relax and enjoy nature with complete privacy. An ideal location to unwind on the large porch, by the fireplace, or in the wood-fired hot tub (optional). The cottage is simple and “back to basics” (no Wi-Fi, TV, or central heating). It has electricity and running water from its own well and is equipped with new plumbing fixtures (toilet and shower). There is a living room with a wood stove. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a small oven, and a 2-burner gas stove. The bedroom is in the attic and has skylights. The veranda is accessible from the living room through two French doors. From the veranda, you can walk directly into the nature reserve. If you’re checking out on Sunday, you may use the cottage until 4:00 p.m.
Nature and surroundings
The forest cabin is located in the heart of the Lonnekerberg nature reserve. This area is part of a belt of nature reserves along the Oldenzaal-Enschede moraine and consists of old, diverse woodland, with remnants of heathland and meandering streams. Due to its unique location and soil composition, the area is home to a wealth of rare flora and fauna. In the immediate vicinity of the forest cabin, there are cycling, mountain biking, and hiking trails that wind through the beautiful Twente bocage landscape, where forests and nature reserves alternate with old farmhouses, meadows, and fields. Nearby is the former Twente Air Base, where you can experience both nature and history; events are also held there from time to time. The cottage is located “in the middle of nowhere,” but the charming village of Lonneker—with a few shops, restaurants, and outdoor cafes—is easily accessible on foot or by bike (2 km). The Hanseatic city of Oldenzaal is about 5 km away, and Enschede and Hengelo are about 10 km away.

A wonderful place to truly unwind. With a fantastic hostess who has a solution for everything.
Een prachtige plek om heerlijk tot rust te komen. Met een geweldige gastvrouw die voor alles een oplossing heeft.

A beautiful little house in a fairy-tale setting
Prachtig huisje op een sprookjesachtig plek
What a fantastic place! A beautiful little cottage tucked away in the woods. The cottage was everything we’d hoped it would be. We’ll definitely be back.
Wat een fantastische plek! Een prachtig huisje helemaal verscholen in het bos. Het huisje was alles wat we er van hadden verwacht. Wij komen hier zeker nog een keer terug.

Geen opmerkingen.
A lovely, clean cottage—or rather, a hunting lodge over 100 years old—tucked away in the woods, among the rhododendrons and trees, with a large room featuring a wood stove (and old “hanging” windows—absolutely beautiful), a deck with two seating areas overlooking an open space in the woods, a hot tub where you can watch bats flying overhead at dusk, a comfortable bed with long comforters, and more than enough towels and kitchen linens.
Beautiful surroundings for hiking or biking.
The refrigerator mentioned by others has been replaced with one without a freezer compartment, which provides much more space.
Something we didn’t see as a drawback—though that’s a personal opinion—is a loft ladder leading to the bedroom, and this bedroom has limited headroom (due to the sloped ceiling).Een heerlijk en schoon huisje, of eigenlijk een jachthuis van meer dan 100 jaar, helemaal vrij in het bos, tussen de rododendrons en bomen, met een grote kamer met houtkachel (met nog oude 'uitgehangen' ramen, prachtig), een bordes met 2 zithoeken met een open ruimte in het bos, een hottub, waar je bij schemering vleermuizen over ziet vliegen, een heerlijk bed met lange dekbedden, meer dan genoeg handdoeken en keukenlinnen.
Mooie omgeving om te wandelen of te fietsen.
De koelkast die bij anderen is genoemd is vervangen door één zonder vriesvak, wat veel meer ruimte geeft.
Wat we niet als een nadeel hebben gezien, maar dat is persoonlijk: een vlizotrap naar de slaapkamer en deze slaapkamer heeft weinig stahoogte (dak).This text is automatically translated.
