A private Finnish hot tub, sauna, and a cozy wood stove make your stay in this nature house complete! Hontsveld is a comfortable, warm, and cozy place for you to get away from it all. The nature house is nestled in a beautiful rolling landscape and offers the privacy of a spacious yet intimate garden with several terraces. Behind the garden lie the donkey pasture, orchard, and vineyard. There’s plenty to discover! The comfortable guesthouse, with plenty of space (53 m², all on the ground floor), features a cozy living room with a wood stove and a spacious bedroom with a large double bed (210 x 180 cm). The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, electric stovetop, oven, and a Nespresso coffee machine with coffee capsules. The bathroom features a sink, shower, and toilet. Wi-Fi is available. Covered charging station for 2 bicycles. Rental of a 5-speed tandem bicycle. The hot tub and sauna can be reserved at the time of booking or on-site; prices listed are per day.
Nature and surroundings
The location of this nature house is truly unique! All day long, you can hear songbirds singing around the house, see storks circling in the sky, and in the evening, a roe deer sometimes appears. You can go for walks in the immediate vicinity along various clog paths or take a stretch of the Hanzepad. Bike rides will take you to the Veluwe, through the Achterhoek, or along narrow bike paths through the woods to the beautiful IJssel—perhaps the most beautiful river in the Netherlands... For outdoor cafes, restaurants, and culture, head to the charming Hanseatic towns of Zutphen (just a 20-minute bike ride!) or Deventer (a 20-minute drive). Take the foot ferry to Gorssel and visit the MORE Museum, or take the small ferry across the IJssel to Bronkhorst and step back in time. Plenty of culture and nature right at your fingertips! We (Alita and Herman) are here to help and would love to show you around this special area and make sure you have plenty of information for your outings!

The cottage was great—neat, nicely finished, clean, and well-maintained. The downside was that you’re “staying” with people, and even though they leave you alone, you don’t have complete privacy. This wasn’t clear to me from the description beforehand, so it was a bit of a letdown. I went there for total peace and quiet to unwind.
Also, lots of mosquitoes!Huisje prima, netjes, mooi afgewerkt, schoon en goed verzorgd. Nadeel was wel dat je 'logeert' bij mensen en, ook al laten ze je met rust, niet helemaal privacy hebt. Dit was muj vanuit de omschrijving vooraf niet duidelijk en viel mij vandaar iets tegen. Ik ging voor totale rust rust tot mezelf komen.
Verder veel muggen!Beautiful, peaceful surroundings
Mooie, rustige omgeving

Very nice people, but the cottage wasn't very clean.
Hele aardige mensen maar het huisje was niet super schoon.
We had a wonderful stay. However, we weren’t aware that the nature house is an addition to the owners’ home. The same goes for the garden. We made use of the lovely hot tub and were very pleased with it.
We hebben een heel mooi verblijf gehad. Wel waren we er niet van op de hoogte dat het natuurhuis een aanbouw is van het huis van de eigenaren. Het zelfde geld voor de tuin. We hebben van de mooie hotup gebruik gemaakt hier waren we erg tevreden over.
