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.

Karin January 2, 2023 General rating: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.
Het huisje heeft veel achterstallig onderhoud, inventaris is incompleet en het is niet fris. Vloeren en bedden kraken zo hard dat iedereen wakker wordt zodra iemand zich omdraait in bed. Foto’s van natuurhuisje komen niet overeen met de werkelijkheid. Ondanks de mooie omgeving, niet voor herhaling vatbaar.
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful place
Prachtige plek

Rik July 29, 2022 General rating: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.De buitenkant is super, van binnen is er veel te verbeteren. In onze laatste nacht hebben de muizen het brood aan gevreten, de algemene netheid van de woning laat ook te wensen over.
Er wordt aangegeven dat er een handdoekenpakket bij zit, maar zelf handdoeken meenemen is aan te raden. Deze hebben we niet in het huisje aangetroffen.
Bij het slapen moet je niet gaan draaien, de bedden kraken waardoor lichte slapers direct wakker zijn.
Daarentegen maakt het uitzicht bij het wakker worden veel goed. We hebben goed weer gehad waardoor we enkel voor het slapen in het huisje waren. Buiten is de locatie mooi aangekleed, mooie tafels en stoelen waar je de avond goed kunt doorkomen.
In de omgeving is veel te doen, wandelen, fietsen en nog veel meer. Plek echt een aanrader.Nature, peace & environment:You are in the middle of nature, it is a group accommodation which is located on several hiking trails through nature.
Je zit midden in de natuur, het betreft een groepsaccommodatie welke aan diverse wandelwegen door de natuur gelegen is.

Stefan July 18, 2022 General rating: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!Het huisje zelf (het groene huisje op de foto) vonden we niet zo. Het staat op een terrein met meerdere groepsaccomodaties. Op het moment dat wij er verbleven hadden we hier niet zo'n last van, maar ik kan me voorstellen dat er momenten zijn dat het rumoerig is.
Er staat max 10 personen, maar ik vind het daar te klein voor. Eerder max 6. Verder wat achterstallig onderhoud en rondlopende muizen in de slaapkamer. Niet zo fijn. Al met al een beetje te duur voor wat je krijgt.
Als het buiten 40 graden is, dan is het wel lekker cool binnen!Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful views from the property, nice hiking in the area. A bit touristy all around though.
Prachtig uitzicht vanuit het terrein, mooi wandelen in de omgeving. Wel een beetje toeristisch allemaal.
