Nature and surroundings

The Nature House is located on a well-known hiking trail. In front of us is 10 acres of grass, where deer can be regularly seen. About 600 meters from the cottage begin the bulb fields (about 8 acres) with a variety of many tulips. A part of the tulip fields is on the path to our house, and deer regularly walk through this field to have woods with badger setts. From the cottage you can make many beautiful walks in the richly varied Reest valley. The paths take you past centuries-old farms where you sometimes walk across the yard of the farmer, es-gehuchten and grasslands. Within walking distance is also the old church of Oud Avereest, with a unique old cemetery, Bartje's bridge, the old church path and the information center of the Overijssel Landscape.

    Due to circumstances, we had very little contact with the hosts.

    But they gave us a wonderful welcome and then let us enjoy our stay in peace.

    We’ll be saving this one for a future trip.

    The cottage has everything you need; you’ll have to get used to the decor and style—it’s a bit dated but still functional. It’s spacious, with a cool, large bedroom and an excellent bed.
    From the cottage, you can go biking and hiking; the surroundings are very beautiful.

    A lovely little cottage, beautifully situated in the owners' large garden. Wonderfully peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature.
    The owners are friendly and easy to get along with.
