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. On Wednesdays there is a market in Staphorst, where you can meet people in traditional costume. You can rent an e-chopper and make beautiful trips to the Staphorst forest, the Havixhorst with a beautiful sculpture garden or .....

The cottage is spacious and comfortable and has a pleasant, homey atmosphere. The decor is not sleekly modern, but tasteful and personal. We found it very friendly and pleasant to be there as a result. Amenities are ample. For example, there is a microwave, a small oven, as well as a wood stove and a DVD player with an extensive varied DVD collection.
Het huisje is ruim en comfortabel en heeft een prettige, huiselijke sfeer. De inrichting is niet strak modern, maar smaakvol en persoonlijk. Wij vonden het daardoor heel gemoedelijk en aangenaam om er te zijn. Voorzieningen zijn ruim voldoende. Er is bijvoorbeeld een magnetron, een klein oventje, maar ook een houtkachel en een dvd-speler met een uitgebreide gevarieerde dvd-collectie.
Nice unobstructed view of a large garden, house of the owner is almost not visible, so much privacy. Environment is mainly farmland with wide views. Very quiet and peaceful (we were there in February).
Mooi vrij uitzicht op een grote tuin, huis van de eigenaar is bijna niet zichtbaar, dus veel privacy. Omgeving is hoofdzakelijk boerenland met weids uitzicht. Heel rustig en stil (wij waren er in februari).

Our overall experience was good it is a quiet environment and we were able to relax nicely. We do want to mention that in and around the cottage there are many references to faith (such as statues of Mary, a painting of Jesus and a Bible on the dining table). We honestly felt a bit uncomfortable with that. In addition, we saw that there are personal items present from deceased family members, such as furniture and other items, which felt a bit fraught to us. It would have been nice if this was mentioned in the description, so that guests know in advance what to expect. Response from landlord: The cottage is tastefully decorated with modern and older stuff and brings you back in time of your grandma and grandpa. You can see this in the pictures. Faith played an important role then. In the information guide you can read about some of the old furniture if you find that interesting. The bed is new ;)
Onze algemene ervaring was goed het is een rustige omgeving en we hebben fijn kunnen ontspannen. Wel willen we graag vermelden dat er in en rondom het huisje veel verwijzingen zijn naar het geloof (zoals beelden van Maria, een schilderij van Jezus en een bijbel op de eettafel). Wij voelden ons daar eerlijk gezegd wat ongemakkelijk bij. Daarnaast zagen we dat er persoonlijke spullen aanwezig zijn van overleden familieleden, zoals meubels en andere items, wat voor ons wat beladen aanvoelde. Het was prettig geweest als dit in de beschrijving vermeld stond, zodat gasten vooraf weten wat ze kunnen verwachten.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Het huisje is sfeervol ingericht met modernere en oudere spullen en brengt je voor een deel a.h.w. terug in de tijd van je oma en opa. Op de foto's kun je dit ook zien. Het geloof speelde toen een belangrijke rol. In de informatiegids kun je iets lezen over een aantal oude meubelstukken als je dat interessant vindt. Het bed is nieuw ;)Peace, space and nature were wonderful!
Rust, de ruimte en de natuur waren heerlijk!
