Welcome! This classically built (2021) and modern furnished haystack is located in the spacious yard of a typical Salland farmhouse. The detached haystack has a private entrance and a spacious sheltered garden facing southwest. From the living room through a 4-meter wide glass sliding doors to reach the sheltered garden. This garden, overlooking meadows, is exclusively available to our guests. In the haystack there are two bedrooms. A bedroom downstairs with a 160x200 box spring (with best tested topper from Matt Sleeps!) and a sleeping area on the mezzanine with a single bed. In the hot spring and summer months, the downstairs bedroom can be cooled by a fixed air conditioner. All tilt-up windows have fixed mosquito nets. Additional information: There is a simple TV with Chromecast available (no regular channels). The sofa has a low seat, the bedroom has a limited size. Poor mobility? Then the haystack is less suitable.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located in a hamlet in the municipality of Olst-Wijhe (province of Overijssel). The yard is located almost directly on the IJsseldijk. The surroundings are perfect for long walks and cycling tours. A dip in the IJssel is also within reach, due to the many small sandy beaches (floodplains) along the IJssel. The area is designated as a Natura 2000 area. Nature and bird lovers can indulge themselves here. Besides the beautiful immediate surroundings, Herxen is also a good base for visiting the beautiful Hanseatic cities of Zwolle (10 km to the center) and Deventer (25 km). Herxen's bus stop is approximately 1 kilometer from the Haystack. Zwolle's train station is approximately 10 kilometers from the haystack. Herxen has a village house with a large terrace, where simple meals and drinks can also be served. Otherwise, Herxen has no amenities. The nearest supermarket is 5 kilometers away.

    Beautiful cottage, with lots of privacy and quiet. You have a private garden which is also very nice. Inside lovely space and cozy. The area is versatile with beautiful nature and nice cities. Zwolle and Deventer are highly recommended.

    We used the "Hooiberg aan de IJssel" mainly as a base for multi-day walks in the area. While walking especially enjoyed the Salland landscape in autumn colors with castles and old farmhouses. There is a beautiful reference book in the nature house, "Farmhouses in Salland", written by Everhard Jans and others. It describes the characteristics and beauty of the landscape, so you can read what you have seen along the way. Highly recommended, just like "The Haystack on the river IJssel" itself by the way. The owner responds promptly and accommodating to any questions. We hope to return in the future.

    Beautiful, comfortable place to stay and enjoy the surroundings. Also suitable for a multi-day stay, and with nice weather outside you can sit outside. The owner values privacy for her guests.

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.
