Souleiman and Eddi are delighted to welcome you to our vacation home in Salland, featuring a beautifully landscaped garden with several terraces. One of the terraces features a fantastic large hot tub (please note this is an optional extra) where you can unwind and listen to soothing music, which you can stream via your phone. We strive to make our guests as comfortable as possible. So that after staying at our accommodation, guests leave feeling completely relaxed, as if they’ve enjoyed a three-week vacation. If guests leave with that feeling, our mission is accomplished. And it gives us a wonderful feeling. Then all our efforts to create that atmosphere in and around the house will have been worth it. Don’t forget to bring your own beach towels!! (Jacuzzi, air conditioning, and bicycles are optional!!) and cleaning fees are mandatory. We rent: Midweek Mon–Fri Week Sat–Sat

Nature and surroundings

It’s just 1 km from the house to the Borkeld nature reserve. It’s a fantastic area with a sheepfold and vast expanses of heathland. When you walk there, it feels as if you’re alone in the world. Just 5 km away is the Sallandse Heuvelrug, another fantastic area where you can fully enjoy nature. You’ll also find a nature museum there.

    We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was absolutely spotless; there wasn’t a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. Eddi and Souleiman are wonderful hosts who go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable. When we asked if a drying rack was available, they arranged it right away the next day. That says a lot about their hospitality and dedication.

    During our stay, there was a “code red” heat warning. Fortunately, the cottage is equipped with air conditioning, which was very pleasant. We also understand that an air conditioner will soon be installed upstairs as well. That will further improve comfort on hot days.

    One minor point to note is the upper floor. It has a sloped ceiling, so people who are about 1.80 meters or taller will need to duck their heads. The beds are also a bit less suitable for taller people. I’m taller than average myself, and I did notice that.

    That doesn’t take away from the fact that we had a wonderful time. The combination of v

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The nature house is located in a lovely, peaceful spot where you can truly relax. The garden is beautifully landscaped, with a lovely pond and plenty of greenery. There are plenty of options for sitting in both the sun and the shade. The hot tub and the outdoor shower with both hot and cold water make your stay complete. You’ll have plenty of privacy, allowing you to fully enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.

    Beautiful surroundings.
    Unfortunately, we were there during the week when a Code Red heat warning was in effect. It was very hot in Markelo—too hot to do anything.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A beautiful, cozy, charming, and clean cottage equipped with every comfort. A gorgeous garden with several terraces. A pond with fish that you were allowed to feed.
    The owners gave us a very warm welcome, and we could always call them if we had any questions.

    Nature, peace & environment: 3 /5

    A very nice, well-maintained house set in a beautiful garden next to a pond where you can feed the fish right from the terrace.
    The hosts are always available to answer any questions and are very helpful. We simply mentioned that a parasol would be useful on the kitchen side, and two days later, one was set up.
    A gas grill is also available for barbecue enthusiasts.


    Unfortunately, there is one significant drawback:
    Anyone seeking the absolute peace and quiet one would expect from a secluded Nature house in the countryside will be disappointed here, as the highway—about 700 meters away—can be clearly heard depending on the wind direction.
    The paved road, on which cars or farm machinery occasionally pass, is separated from the property by an earthen embankment and a hedge, but is only 20 meters away from the terrace and the house; thus, traffic noise is very clearly audible, even in the bedroom with the windows closed.
