Nature house in an oasis of tranquility overlooking the meadows of polder Nijenrode in Breukelen, equipped with wood-fired hot tub. This nature house can accommodate 2-3 people (or 2 adults & 2 children) and has a Scandinavian interior using natural and sustainable materials. The veranda is a great place to sit until late in the evening sun. The detached nature house is completely separate from our home, however, your privacy is guaranteed. The garden offers both sun and shade through trees and unobstructed views over the meadows. The cottage has a living room equipped with comfortable sofa, dining area, smart TV and a fully equipped kitchen (induction hob, extractor hood, oven, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, kitchen utensils, crockery/glassware) and has Wifi. In addition, a bathroom with shower cabin, sink and toilet, and a bedroom with double box spring bed. The final cleaning includes made beds, bath and kitchen linen and is billed separately.

Nature and surroundings

With a little luck you will see a roe deer some distance from the nature house early in the morning or at dusk. On this beautiful, quiet and green location in the middle of the Vecht region, with Utrecht, Amsterdam and the Loosdrecht lakes around the corner, it is optimal enjoyment if you love nature, hiking, cycling, boating, water sports, culture and eating out. The immediate neighbors are the cows in the meadow. Our neighbors including Nijenrode estate are within sight distance. Sometimes you can see the farmer walking through the land e.g. to fetch the cows. Sometimes you can hear some students singing in a jolly mood. Regularly you hear the pinging of the bells of the carillon of Nijenrode Castle. Basically, it is quiet with pleasant ambient sounds. This nature house is easily accessible by car/motorbike/scooter/bike, the last part is an unpaved path of 600 meters that is also safe to drive in winter. Breukelen village is at 10 biking and 30 walking minutes, as well as NS station Breukelen.

    The decor of the cottage is very cozy and the communication how everything works and what is expected of us was fantastic! The only point of improvement I can think of is to make the natural barrier between the very close house of the residents and the nature house a little more convincing. Trees and plants have already been planted, but they still need some time. But with our curtains closed, our privacy was assured!

    Lovely to be able to completely unwind here! The cottage has a very nice atmosphere and the environment is top; close to the city, but you do not have to drive / walk far to find peace in nature and meadows :) At night there was a kind of low hum (I suspect from boats in the canal?), we slept through it fine, but pay attention to this if you are sensitive by this kind of noise.

    We enjoyed the nature house and the surroundings immensely. The cottage was very clean and tidy. Everything was completely satisfactory and the owners were very friendly and clear in communication. The first day we had some trouble getting the hot tub lit, but the owners were very helpful and lit the hot tub for us the next day. The cottage itself is full of nice goodies, books to read and there was a sweet welcome gift waiting for us. The nature house does sit close to the owners' house, but they kept a very close eye on our privacy. All in all, highly recommended!

    The cottage is also nicely central in the area. In 5 minutes you are in Breukelen where you can do your shopping but also just walk through the center. From Breukelen you can take the train to Utrecht in 15 minutes.

    A lovely cottage away from the hustle and bustle. The house is small but cozy. The bathroom is fresh and clean. Beds are nice and warm. We have only done a rug over the window coverings because otherwise much.light through and we find that less pleasant. There is attention put into everything. The itinerary was worked out to perfection which made it very easy.Also you see this back in the cottage. You feel welcome.
