Feel the peace and quiet of this special place in the Achterhoek. From the parking lot you walk through a private forest path to the cottage, putting you right in the middle of nature. From the cozy bed box you can look straight into the forest and wake up to the green of the trees around you. A large part of the wall consists of windows, allowing the inside and outside to blend together and you feel constantly connected to nature. At night it is really dark here. Because the forest area is lit as little as possible to protect the nocturnal animals, on clear evenings you can see an impressive starry sky. At the house it is great to sit outside, on the porch or under the covered area near the barn with two comfortable chairs. In summer you will always find a nice place: a sunny corner in the garden or just a cool place in the woods.Inside, the cottage is tastefully and comfortably decorated with natural materials. At the bar table overlooking the greenery you can work or read quietly.

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located in a quiet place in a forest garden and is part of the small-scale project Ecolodge Bergzicht, where nature and sustainability are the guiding principles. It is located directly on beautiful hiking trails through nature. The surroundings of the Lochemseberg are known for their varied scenery and are ideal for walking and cycling. In addition to nature, you will also find pleasant towns in the area. Lochem is about a 10-minute drive away and has nice stores, cafes and good ice cream parlors. The historic Hanseatic cities of Zutphen and Deventer are about a half-hour drive away. For culture you can visit museum MORE in castle Ruurlo or visit a performance in the open-air theater of Lochem. We are happy to share our favorite tips for hiking, eating and beautiful places in the area.

    Wonderfully situated in the silence, going everywhere by bike....

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a wonderful place to relax! Away from the hustle and bustle, into the silence for a while. That worked out super well in the Woodpecker. Silence and tranquility. A cottage with all the comforts. With a few nice extras: delicious eggs, tea and delicious coffee beans!

    Specially located, great base for exploration of surroundings.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    We rented a cottage.... What we got was an experience: deafening silence, total darkness, bird concerts. The bedstead - beautiful surroundings. Explored by bike, enjoyed nature, villages, beer on terrace. And the special culinary experience: Fine Dining, in the Green Forest. In Barchem, who would believe that. Small bike ride to Ruurlo, More in castle Ruurlo. Fascinating exhibition "Ternauwernood" by Jemima de Jonge. Walk through unreal worlds, thanks for the welcome!
