A unique Scandinavian-style cottage. A bright and compact apartment for two people. We call it our “Tiny house.” Everything is on one level, with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a combination microwave and dishwasher. Amenities include: TV, Bluetooth radio, and (free) Wi-Fi, hair dryer, mini iron, electric kettle, Nespresso machine, games, and books. Thanks to the south-facing windows and terrace, you can sit outside as soon as the weather warms up. It can get warm inside; there’s no air conditioning. On the terrace is a walnut tree that’s a favorite spot for titmice, the great spotted woodpecker, and sometimes a squirrel. A bus stop is just 30 steps from the cottage. Traditional bicycles are available to borrow for free for short distances. Cottage size: 32 m². Patio: 25 m². Pickup or drop-off at the Pieterpad trail is possible (Holten or Vorden). The bed is made up as a double bed by default. If you’d like separate beds, we can arrange that for you upon request. Additional fee for pets: €10. Fenced property; dogs can roam freely.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located in our garden on the outskirts of the charming village of Laren. A wonderful base for biking and hiking trips! 1.5 km from the Pieterpad. Laren has several restaurants, a well-stocked Plus supermarket, and a butcher who slaughters his own livestock and sources his meat from local farms. The Wereld Bakker Wijnand bakes its bread using grain from various fields around Laren and has its own chocolate shop. Nearby is the vineyard of Wijngoed Gelders Laren, which produces high-quality Dutch wines, including the “Kus van Thérèse.” Characteristic surroundings: vast meadows with hedgerows, the bocage landscape, and numerous estates, such as the Ehzerwold, Verwolde, Ampsen, and De Broekhorst estates. In Gorssel, there is a 100-hectare nature reserve and the MORE museum. Just around the corner: the Hanseatic cities of Deventer (18 km) and Zutphen (16 km). Lochem (6 km), with town privileges dating back to 1233, features a market square with cobblestones and is surrounded by narrow medieval streets and cozy outdoor cafes.

    A well-maintained Tiny house.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A nice Tiny house with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The fenced-in patio is great if you’re traveling with a dog. The host was helpful and friendly and even drove us to a section of the Pieterpad for a hike.
    Lochem, Zutphen, and Deventer are all nice places to visit or enjoy a drink on a patio.
    Holterberg, Gorssel—we saw the heather in full bloom (just in time).
    It’s a shame about the fairly busy through road, which really disrupted the peace and quiet you’d expect from a nature house.
    Other than that, we had a great week there.

    A beautiful little house equipped with all the amenities and very hospitable owners

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The cottage is in a lovely, central location, though unfortunately it’s on a somewhat busier road.
    The garden was beautifully set among the greenery, and even if you go for a bike ride or a walk, you’re immediately out in the peace and quiet of the open countryside.
    A beautiful, wooded, rural setting with nice bike paths.
