Our simple cottage is an ancient half-timbered house from 1560, located in Cottessen. The charm of authenticity and yet with the time with underfloor heating and ability to stoke the fireplace. (Wood available). Very suitable for 2 families, possibly aunt or grandmother and the children (4 bedrooms) or group of friends to 8 (+3) people with some expansion if you take the cabin there. (E.g. for visiting with a hiker's hut for 2 persons). Optional camping with a small tent is sometimes possible. The farm complex of 7 ha, now in natural management with standard orchards, hedges, groves, pools and hedgerows. A huge wealth of biodiversity ( hazel mouse, yellow-bellied toad, bees, gray plover, badgers reetjes and much more. The nature house is part of an open carre farm with beautiful terrace and is no longer functional as a farm. But sheep are there.

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located in the Geul Valley in hamlet Cottessen near source village Epen ( 2.5 km) and mountain village Vijlen. 100 meters away is the large Vijlenerbos which extends beyond the Drielandenbos. From the terrace you have a huge distant view of the Geul valley and the Ardennes peaks 30 km away. Huize ten Bosch has an altitude of 188 m above sea level and overlooks the Geul Valley, its own standard orchards all around and the Vijlen woods. Our location is in Cottessen and our 7 ha site offers a free feeling amidst nature and an unspoiled cultural landscape. In winter the most chance of snow in the Netherlands, in spring lush greenery and blossoms, in summer cool in the house and in the shade of the trees, in autumn the most fantastic colors. We would love to welcome you. Hiking and mountain biking is nowhere more beautiful in the Netherlands. Of course you can also go to Maastricht, Aachen and Valkenburg.

    The cottage has a lot of overdue maintenance, inventory is incomplete and it is not fresh. Floors and beds creak so hard that everyone wakes up as soon as someone turns over in bed. Pictures of nature house do not match reality. Despite beautiful surroundings, not worth repeating.

    The outside is super, inside there is much to improve. In our last night the mice ate the bread, the general cleanliness of the house also leaves much to be desired.

    It is stated that a towel package is included, but bringing your own towels is recommended. We did not find these in the cottage.When sleeping do not turn, the beds creak so light sleepers are instantly awake.On the other hand, the view when waking up makes up for a lot. We had good weather so we were only in the cottage for sleeping. Outside the location is nicely decorated, nice tables and chairs where you can spend the evening. In the area there is much to do, hiking, cycling and much more. Place really highly recommended.

    You are in the middle of nature, it is a group accommodation which is located on several hiking trails through nature.

    We did not like the cottage itself (the green cottage in the photo). It is on a property with several group accommodations. At the time we stayed there we were not bothered by this, but I can imagine that there are times when it is noisy.

    It says max 10 people, but I think it is too small for that. Rather max 6. Also some overdue maintenance and mice running around in the bedroom. Not so nice. All in all a bit too expensive for what you get. When it's 40 degrees outside, it's nice and cool inside!

    Beautiful views from the property, nice hiking in the area. A bit touristy all around though.
