-- This retro forest cottage was built in 1969 in a quiet, wooded area. The cottage features the original decor from that era combined with modern comforts; it feels as though time has stood still here. With us, you’ll embark on a special journey—a journey through time! Back to 1969. -- This cottage is not located in a vacation park but on a spacious wooded lot (835 m²), situated in a secluded spot along a sandy path on the Borkeld near Holten on the Sallandse Heuvelrug. -- It features a living/dining room, kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and a bathroom—all on one level. Adjacent to the living room is the open kitchen, complete with the original 1969 kitchen. The bright living room, with a cozy (gas) stove, has large windows all around, offering a beautiful view of the forest with squirrels and birds. -- Rain? Perfect weather for games! The cabinet is full of them! There’s also a record player with records, so… let’s dance! -- This nature house is suitable for 1–4 people; not suitable for children ages 0–12.

You can store them in the barn. The beautiful nature of the Sallandse Heuvelrug is perfect for hiking and biking. -- You can park next to the nature house under the carport or in front of the barn. It’s also easily accessible by public transportation; Holten has a train station, and there’s a bus stop just a 5-minute walk away. -- The nature house is not suitable for children aged 0–12. -- Pets are not allowed. -- Smoking and (cheese) fondue or gourmet cooking inside the cottage are not permitted. -- Open fires and fireworks are prohibited in the recreation area due to the risk of forest fires.

The cottage dates from around 1960, both inside and out. It brings back childhood memories.
Everything you need is provided.
Too bad it was cold and rainy. The central heating worked great.
Response from the host:
Thank you for this lovely review, and you’re always welcome back in 1969!Huisje is van rond 1960 zowel exterieur als het interieur. Het bra ht jeugdherinneringen.
Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig.
Jammer dat het koud en regenachtig was. Prima centrale verwarming.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Dankjewel voor deze mooie review en altijd welkom terug in 1969!The cottage is located in a wooded area. That makes it nice and quiet.
Het huisje ligt in een bosrijke omgeving. Daardoor lekker stil.

Great reception, very nicely decorated and fully equipped. Response from host: Thank you for this nice review. Glad you enjoyed it so much and very happy to welcome you back in 1969!
Goede ontvangst, erg leuk ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Dankjewel voor deze mooie review. Fijn dat jullie het zo naar je zin hebben gehad en heel graag welkom terug in 1969!It is a beautiful, comfortable house surrounded by greenery. You hardly notice that you are in a park.
Het is een prachtig, comfortabel huis omringd door groen. Je heb nauwelijks in de gaten dat je op een park zit.

Beautiful in peace & quiet, vintage meets modern comforts. Includes "private" squirrels.
Mooi in rust & stilte, vintage meets modern comfort. Incl. "eigen" eekhoorns.
For 2 children of '62 & '72, this beautiful home counts as accumulating memories. The 1 more beautiful than the other, everything perfectly executed in every detail. Always switching between then & now. Funny that this leads to Verstrooing, n name that we occasionally & tu mistakenly use. Response of landlord: Thank you for this super figure and for your beautiful words! You are always welcome back in Holten to come back to relax the old-fashioned way.
Best regards and hope to see you next time, Dorien.Voor 2 kinderen van '62 & '72 geldt dit mooi huis als opstapelende herinneringen.
Het 1 nog mooier dan het ander, alles tot in detail perfect doorgevoerd. Telkens schakelend tussen toen & nu. Grappig dat dit leidt tot Verstrooing, n naam die we af & tu abusievelijk gebruiken.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Dankjewel voor dit supercijfer én voor jullie mooie woorden!
Jullie zijn altijd welkom terug in Holten om nog eens ouderwets te komen verpozen.
Hartelijke groet en heel graag tot een volgende keer.
