Come relax and recharge in the Soesterduinen, part of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park near Soest. This chic boutique cottage was fully renovated in early 2022. A cozy living/kitchen/sleeping area with high beamed ceilings and pleasant, dimmable ambient lighting. The kitchen, featuring a solid oak log-style countertop, is equipped with a combination oven, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, an induction cooktop, a kettle, and a Nespresso machine. Tea towels and dish towels are provided. The same room also features a TV and a double box-spring bed with high-quality bedding. The luxurious bathroom is equipped with underfloor heating, a rain shower and hand shower, and bath towels from Rituals. The cottage is located in the front yard, near but separate from the main house. It has its own driveway for the car, an indoor bike shed with power outlets, and a patio with access to a BBQ. Wi-Fi is available. A travel crib for babies/toddlers is available (free upon request).
Nature and surroundings
Across from the cottage, you can walk straight into the woods, and within 5 minutes you’ll find yourself on one of the Netherlands’ largest sand drifts, surrounded by woods and heathland. There are various (long-distance) hiking, biking, and mountain biking trails in the woods and near the cottage. Spot roe deer, badgers, and foxes. There’s a riding stable nearby with an extensive network of horseback trails. Within walking distance are the Cabrio open-air theater and the Palz estate, home to the Herman van Veen Arts Center. Three great restaurants are just a few minutes’ walk away, including Stazione Pazzo, located in the old Soestduinen train station. Amersfoort Zoo is within biking distance (through the woods). Following the same bike path, you can easily reach the historic fortified town of Amersfoort with its canals and famous walled houses. On less pleasant days, it’s wonderful to relax at Thermen Soesterberg, or visit the Netherlands Military Museum, Groeneveld Castle, or De Hooge Vuursche Castle. Utrecht is 20 km away.

Super cool (even though it was 30 degrees), very clean, and fully equipped (kitchenware, etc.). A very spacious and cozy cottage.
Super koel (terwijl het 30 graden was) hele schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien (keuken gerei etc) heel ruim en sfeervol huisje.
You are pretty close to the owners' house, but it didn't bother us at all! We were given plenty of space and privacy, which was really nice
Je zit wel dichtbij het huis van de eigenaren, maar daar totaal geen last van gehad! We kregen ontzettend de ruimte en privacy, super fijn

It’s a nice, well-furnished cottage with a forest theme.
It’s a shame there’s no privacy outside; you’re basically in the landlord’s yard and can see right into their house. The outdoor space is very limited and gets little sun because of a large trampoline in front of the door.
Underneath the cottage is the landlords’ garage. We were quite bothered by gasoline fumes coming through the thin floor. The landlord said he would do something about it.Het is een leuk en goed ingericht huisje, in bosthema.
Jammer dat er buiten geen privacy is, je zit gewoon in de tuin van de verhuurder en kunt hun huis inkijken. De buitenruimte is heel beperkt en met weinig zon door een grote trampoline voor de deur.
Onder het huisje is een garage van de verhuurders. Wij hadden nogal last van benzinedampen die door de dunne vloer kwamen. Verhuurder zei dat hij er wat aan zou gaan doen.The surroundings are beautiful. From the cottage, you can walk straight into the woods.
There are also good restaurants within walking distance.De omgeving is prachtig. Vanuit het huisje loop je zo het bos in.
Ook zijn er goede restaurants op loopafstand.This text is automatically translated.
