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, 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 quietly work or read. Not suitable for the elderly.
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 outdoor theater of Lochem. We are happy to share our favorite tips for hiking, eating and beautiful places in the area.

We were shocked by the height of the bed. Going out at night is even dangerous. The mattresses were fine, though. There was no chair with a good backrest (important for people with back problems). The table was too high to work on with the laptop. The large sofa was inappropriate to sit on. We could not handle the air conditioner, without good description of how to operate it. The operation of the microwave and the induction cooktop also required a study, without clear information
We schrokken van de hoogte van het bed. 's Nachts er uitgaan is zelfs gevaarlijk. De matrassen waren wel prima. Er was geen stoel met een goede leuning (belangrijk voor mensen met rugklachten). De tafel was te hoog om aan te werken met de laptop. De grote bank was ongeschikt om op te zitten. We konden niet overweg met de airco, zonder goede beschrijving van de bediening. Ook voor de bediening van de magnetron en de inductiekookplaat was een studie vereist, zonder overzichtelijke informatie
the surroundings, with lots of privacy, is beautiful. I went for that. but the cottage is not suitable for the elderly - Landlord's response We do our best to reflect as clearly as possible what the tenant can expect, our ad states that there is a bed box, a bar table and a lounge sofa, and that the cottage is not suitable for the elderly. There are instruction manuals of the equipment and there is good wifi that makes it easy to find all the manuals online. In the information on the table, in emails and by phone we communicate that guests should contact us with questions. We feel sorry for these guests that they did not contact us about their questions and that they did not read our ad carefully which led them to book a cottage that did not fit their needs.
de omgeving, met veel privacy, is mooi. Daar ben ik op afgegaan. maar het huisje is niet geschikt voor ouderen.

Wij doen onze uiterste best om zo duidelijk mogelijk weer te geven wat de huurder kan verwachten, in onze advertentie staat dat er een bedstee is, een bartafel en een loungebank, en dat het huisje niet geschikt is voor ouderen. Er liggen gebruikshandleidingen van de apparatuur en er is goede wifi waarmee je online eenvoudig alle handleidingen kunt terugvinden. In de informatie op tafel, in emails en telefonisch communiceren we dat gasten contact op moeten nemen bij vragen. We vinden het jammer voor deze gasten dat ze geen contact met ons hebben opgenomen over hun vragen en dat ze onze advertentie niet goed hebben gelezen waardoor ze een huisje hebben geboekt dat niet bij hun behoeften paste.This text is automatically translated. -

Nothing wrong with the cottage itself. Excellent shower. We are both quite tall and then the toilet is a bit on the low side. Bed was fine. The couch is really in need of replacement. We bobbed for who had to sit on the couch. Normally no problem if the weather cooperates, then you're usually sitting outside anyway. Now the weather was bad and so we were forced to stay inside. The coffee machine gave up the ghost but was quickly exchanged. Congratulations!
Aan het huisje zelf mankeert niets. Uitstekende douche. Wij zijn beiden best wel lang en dan is het toilet wat aan de lage kant. Bedstee ging prima. Het bankstel is echt aan vervanging toe. Wij hebben gebobbeld om wie er op de bank moest zitten. Normaal geen probleem als het weer meewerkt, dan zit je toch meestal buiten. Nu was het weer slecht en dus waren we genoodzaakt binnen te blijven. Koffie machine gaf de geest maar is gelukkig snel omgeruild. Waarvoor hulde!
We did quite a few miles on the bike and you can also do some good walking - Response from landlord the toilet bowl is a standard size.
We hebben aardig wat kilometers gemaakt op de fiets en je kunt er ook goed wandelen.

Alles wat ik heb gewenst is uitgekomen, een prachtige totaalervaring!
There are really no words for this experience.... Fairy tales do exist!
Er zijn eigenlijk geen woorden voor deze ervaring.... Sprookjes bestaan!
