-- 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.

General rating: 10 /10

A cozy, charming retro-style home. Located in a beautiful area where you can go for plenty of walks, bike rides, and enjoy nature.

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

After a very warm welcome from the landlord, we entered the retro-style house. Everything was in a ’70s style—from the furniture and decor to the kitchen tins filled with old-fashioned candies. It was very cozy and inviting, and we felt right at home. It was also very neat and clean. In the garden, there were several seating areas where we could enjoy watching the birds, squirrels, and even spotted an owl. In a word: magnificent!

Landlord’s response: Thank you for this excellent rating and for your kind words. I hope to welcome you back again someday! Warm regards,
