Boscoso Nature House is situated in a wooded area on 1,700 square meters of private land and was completely renovated in 2022. The two-bedroom bungalow with a large living room is connected to nature through large windows and double sliding doors. The garden features several seating areas, a fire pit, a covered seating area, a swing bench, and a BBQ. On a colder day, you can cozy up by lighting the wood stove inside. The living room has a unique layout. On one side is a cozy sitting area with a wood stove and a smart TV. On the other side is a large dining table with a wide view of the garden. The walk-through to the kitchen features a kitchen island with a bar. The kitchen itself is fully equipped and includes a dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, blender, grill, Dolce Gusto and filter coffee machine, and a kettle.

Nature and surroundings
The house is nestled in the middle of the forest, and you’ll constantly spot squirrels and birds. There’s plenty to do in the diverse surroundings, including cycling (2 electric bikes included with the rental) or mountain biking. Canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, or pedal boating on the Berkel River. Rent a Solex, chopper, or Tuk Tuk. Golf for beginners and advanced players. Or go shopping in the Hanseatic city of Lochem or the Achterhoek villages of Borculo or Ruurlo (all within 6 km). Larger cities such as Zutphen and Doetinchem are just over 20 kilometers from Boscoso, and Deventer is 33 kilometers away. For cultural outings, you can visit the two popular museums MORE, Ampsen Castle, or, for example, the Zwiepse Mill. For a night out, you can visit the Lochem City Theater or the Luxor movie theater in Zutphen. You can also enjoy beautiful walks on the Lochemse Berg, Kale Berg, and/or Paaschberg. The Love Trail in Ruurlo is highly recommended for couples. For relaxation, there is the Bronsbergen sauna in Zutphen.

This is one of those places where time seems momentarily less important and where peace is not only present, but tangible. A place to catch one's breath, enjoy the simplicity of nature and make memories that will last for a long time. We leave with a feeling of gratitude and the desire to return here one day.
Dit is zo'n plek waar tijd even minder belangrijk lijkt en waar rust niet alleen aanwezig is, maar ook voelbaar wordt. Een plek om op adem te komen, te genieten van de eenvoud van de natuur en herinneringen te maken die nog lang blijven nazinderen. We vertrekken met een gevoel van dankbaarheid en met de wens om hier ooit weer terug te keren.
How much we enjoyed this special place. A beautiful house, fully equipped, hidden in the green, surrounded by peace, space and nature. From the moment we arrived we felt how the hustle and bustle of everyday life slowly slipped away from us. Everywhere around the house flowers bloom and birdsong sounds. Squirrels regularly showed themselves, frolicking among the trees. The various seating areas around the house mean that at any time of day you can find a new place to enjoy the environment: in the sun, in the shade, overlooking the greenery or just sheltered among the flowers. The surroundings are also beautiful. Forests, winding roads and the characteristic coulisse landscape alternate. Behind every bend new vistas unfold, with wide views over fields and meadows. It is an environment that invites you to walk, cycle, stand still and, above all, look.
Wat hebben we genoten van deze bijzondere plek. Een prachtig huis, van alle gemakken voorzien, verscholen in het groen, omringd door rust, ruimte en natuur. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen voelden we hoe de drukte van alledag langzaam van ons afgleed.
Overal rondom het huis bloeien bloemen en klinkt het gezang van vogels. Regelmatig lieten eekhoorns zich zien, dartelend tussen de bomen. De verschillende zitjes rondom het huis maken dat je op elk moment van de dag een nieuwe plek kunt vinden om te genieten van de omgeving: in de zon, in de schaduw, met uitzicht op het groen of juist beschut tussen de bloemen.
Ook de omgeving is prachtig. Bossen, kronkelende weggetjes en het karakteristieke coulisselandschap wisselen elkaar af. Achter iedere bocht ontvouwen zich weer nieuwe vergezichten, met weidse uitzichten over velden en weilanden. Het is een omgeving die uitnodigt om te wandelen, te fietsen, stil te staan en vooral te kijken.This text is automatically translated. -

overdue maintenance: bathroom (too low toilet and unstable shower, door that did not close), bikes that had to go to the bike shop first for explanation and maintenance, TV screen that had to be set straight with books on the stove and sagging couch. Landlord's response: Too bad you experienced the stay this way Paul, many are very enthusiastic. You did not respond to our welcome app and know that we were available 24/7, we would have loved to help you. We will provide another bike immediately and the other points - except the toilet - we will solve this month because we try to maintain it just right.
achterstallig onderhoud: badkamer (te lage wc en instabiele douche, deur die niet sloot), fietsen die eerst naar de fietsenmaker moesten voor uitleg en onderhoud, tv beeldscherm die met boeken recht moest worden gezet op de kachel en doorgezakte bank.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Jammer dat je het verblijf zo hebt ervaren Paul, velen zijn erg enthousiast. Je hebt niet gereageerd op ons welkomst appje en weet dat we 24/7 beschikbaar waren, we hadden je graag geholpen. We zorgen per direct voor een andere fiets en de andere punten - op de wc na - lossen we deze maand op want we proberen het juist goed te onderhouden.fantastic place, had great weather, lovely quiet and beautiful garden.
fantastische plek, geweldig weer gehad, heerlijk rustig en mooie tuin.

Complete cottage, fine inventory in the kitchen. I was only missing a tea light and a lid for the wok pan. I survived without. Bed and kitchen linen provided, even charcoal for the bbq. What you use you refill, logical.Bikes are fine but need some maintenance.Lovely quiet week, enjoyed all that lives outside the house.Lochem is cozy for shopping, lunch and a cup of coffee. Ruurlo nice and close for shopping.
Compleet huisje, fijne inventaris in de keuken. Ik miste alleen een theelichtje en een deksel voor de wokpan. Ik heb het overleefd zonder. Bed- en keukenlinnen aanwezig.
Zelfs houtskool voor de bbq. Wat je gebruikt vul je weer aan, logisch.
Fietsen zijn fijn maar behoeven wel wat onderhoud.
Heerlijke rustige week gehad, genoten van al wat leeft buitenshuis.
Lochem is gezellig voor winkelen, lunch en een kop koffie. Ruurlo lekker dichtbij voor de boodschappen.Boscoso is hidden behind trees and bushes. Barely encountered other people around this house during the week we used this location. Many different birds were our neighbors. 5 squirrels racing through trees and field mice running across the lawn to shoot back into the bushes very quickly. Lovely spacious garden with several places to enjoy the sun or shade.Nice place to read your book in peace.....
Boscoso ligt verborgen achter bomen en struiken. Nauwelijks andere mensen tegengekomen rondom dit huis in de week dat we gebruik maakten van deze locatie. Veel verschillende vogels waren onze buren. 5 eekhoorns die door bomen aan het racen waren en veldmuisjes die over het gazon rennen om weer heel snel de struiken in te schieten. Heerlijk ruime tuin met verschillende plekken om van de zon of de schaduw te genieten.
Fijne plek om in alle rust je boek te lezen…This text is automatically translated.
