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.

The cottage is simply furnished but just right. It has everything you need—and in a charming way. It’s a 100-year-old hunting lodge, and its original details have been preserved or restored.
Huisje is eenvoudig ingericht maar toch net goed. Alles wat je nodig hebt is er. En op een leuke manier. Het is een 100 jaar oude jachthut, en origineel detail zijn bewaard gebleven of weer terug geplaatst.
Wonderfully peaceful, a beautiful spot; from the porch, you look out onto a slightly open area surrounded by large rhododendrons and tall trees.
Heerlijk rustig, prachtig plekje, vanuit de veranda kijk je op een beetje open stuk dat weet omringd wordt door grote Rhododendron s en hoge bomen.

The cottage was wonderful. It really has everything you need. A great little oven for baking rolls, a coffee maker, a refrigerator. Great shower. Everything is spotless. I highly recommend booking the hot tub as an add-on. It’s truly wonderful! Sleeping upstairs does indeed require using a small staircase, which takes a little getting used to, and the ceiling is a bit low up there, but it’s perfectly manageable, and the bed was comfortable.
The simplicity of the cottage, combined with the fact that it has everything you need, makes it perfect.Het huisje was heerlijk. Echt alles is aanwezig. Een prima oventje voor het afbakken van broodjes, een koffiezetapparaat, koelkast. Prima douche. Alles is superschoon. De hottub is echt een aanrader om er bij te boeken. Echt heerlijk! Slapen boven is inderdaad via een trappetje wat even wennen is en boven is het wat laag, maar prima te doen en het bed lag goed.
De eenvoud van het huisje waarbij toch alles aanwezig is wat je nodig hebt maakt het perfect.It’s so nice—you really feel completely free. Right in the middle of the forest, and yet only 3 km from Lonneker and Oldenzaal. Above all, there’s a lot of silence. Very occasionally, you hear the sound of cars in the distance, but that’s negligible. An occasional glider, and other than that, just silence surrounded by nature. Our dog was able to roam freely around the cottage. She stayed close by and had a wonderful time exploring the woods.
We really had a wonderful time.Zo fijn, je zit echt helemaal vrij. Midden in het bos en toch maar 3 km vanaf Lonneker en Oldenzaal. Vooral heel veel stilte. Heel af en toe geluid van auto’s in de verte maar dat is verwaarloosbaar. Een enkel zweefvliegtuigje en verder alleen stilte met rondom natuur. Onze hond kon lekker los rond het huisje struinen. Ze bleef in de buurt en kon heerlijk in het bos struinen.
We hebben het echt heerlijk gehad.This text is automatically translated. -

Plenty of privacy in a quiet spot
Veel privacy op rustig plekje
The cottage is in a lovely spot with plenty of privacy. Unfortunately, we didn't see any wildlife. In the evening, we did hear motorcycles in the area fairly often, which disturbed the peace and quiet somewhat.
Huisje ligt op een heerlijk plekje met veel privacy. Helaas geen wild gezien. In de avond wel regelmatig motoren gehoord in de omgeving wat de rust enigszins verstoorde.
