Nature house in Barchem

The nature house is part of the buildings on the grounds of the former farm in Barchem. The former carpenter’s workshop features a living room, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a dishwasher.Coffee and tea are provided and available for your use. The beds will be made upon your arrival, and your towels and bathrobes will be hanging ready for you. The French doors offer an unobstructed view of the surrounding farmland and the adjacent dirt road. The garden features fruit trees. There are various small animals on the property. The cottage is suitable for (young) children. A crib, a baby bathtub, and a high chair are provided. The cottage is well-stocked with children’s toys. Pets are usually allowed upon consultation. The price is based on a stay for 4 people.

The nature house is situated in a particularly peaceful, rural setting; it’s not uncommon to encounter a roe deer, a hare, a rabbit, or other wildlife. There is plenty of information available to help you plan lovely short or long walks. The nearby nature reserves “Het Hagenbeek,” “Kostverloren,” “Het Rijkenbarg,” and, of course, the “Lochemse” and “Kale Berg” offer ample opportunities for this.The “Hackfort” estate in Vorden features a Stinzen garden and a vegetable garden with various marked walking trails. The “Eight Castles Bicycle Route” passes by the cottage, and the “Achterhoek” MTB loops through Lochem, Ruurlo, and Borculo are also very close by. It’s possible to have (electric) rental bikes delivered to the cottage. High-quality MTBs are also available for rent nearby. For art and culture lovers, Museum MORE in Ruurlo—featuring the Carel Willink collection and Mathilde Willink’s dresses—is a must-see. The Hanseatic cities of Deventer, Zutphen, and Doesburg are definitely worth a visit.
