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. Boscoso is ideal for working from home and has excellent Wi-Fi (fiber-optic internet) and a monitor for your laptop. There is a washing machine, iron, and ironing board.

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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.....
