The name came about, due to the almost annual hatching of young tawny owls on our biodiversity plot. It is a fully equipped nature house, consisting of living room with wood stove and open kitchen with 2-burner induction hob. From the living room you enter a spacious bedroom with French doors to the garden. In the living room is a staircase to the mezzanine with a 2 pers.bed. (=Slaapkm. 2) Through the utility room with cupboard and combi oven-microwave, you enter the bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and a wood-fired sauna. "The Tawny Owl" is located on a large private plot with walking paths around the meadow and the kolk, where chickens, cats and our dog roam freely. Your garden has a picnic table, mini kamado, BBQ, fire basket and is located behind the house. Here you can enjoy peace and privacy with a wide view of the sheep pasture. At "The Tawny Owl" is a terrace located on a pond with flower border. You can park your car on the property. It is not suitable for the disabled.

    The cottage is not very large, but for two people more than spacious enough. With four people it seems to us a little on the cramped side. The Blue Owl has a comprehensive inventory, a fine bed and a lovely fireplace.

    The owl is a lovely place and fully equipped. Around the pond is a hive of activity with birds and squirrels. In the immediate vicinity is more than enough opportunity for nice walks, but also Zutphen is definitely worthwhile. We have had wonderful days.

    Don't quite understand what to fill in here that I haven't already written in "Describe your experience of the nature house".

    A very nice cottage, located on a beautiful piece of land. The sauna was wonderful and the kune kune pigs were fantastic. The owners were also very friendly and helpful. Had a very nice weekend!

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
