We are Martin and Wemmie, the proud owners of De Droste. Our nature house is located in the barn of a traditional Salland cross-wing farmhouse dating from 1911. A peaceful retreat amidst the countryside, just 2 km from the village of Olst, where you’ll find all the basic amenities. The cottage has its own entrance and a large garden with a patio. On the ground floor, you’ll find the living/dining room, a shower, and a toilet. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stovetop with oven and a refrigerator with a freezer compartment. The upper level is a loft with a double box-spring bed and down comforters. Upon arrival, the beds will be made, and cozy bathrobes and towels will be waiting for you. Kitchen linens are also provided. The decor has been adapted to the surroundings as much as possible. The cottage does not have a TV, but you can use the Wi-Fi network free of charge. Smoking is not permitted inside the cottage or on the property. A wonderful place to unwind. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Nature and surroundings

You’ll be staying in the countryside along the IJssel River, close to the forest, and 2 km from Olst and the train station. The Hanseatic cities of Zutphen and Zwolle, among others, are within biking distance. And with your hiking boots on, you can reach the Brink in Deventer—with its historic center and medieval Bergkwartier—in 11 km. That’s where the annual Dickens Festival, the book market, and “Deventer op stelten” take place. Also worth visiting are the various museums in the area: the Nijenhuis, Museum More, and the Fundatie. Klooster Sion, with its beautiful garden, is also well worth a visit. An evening walk along the IJssel will leave you in awe of the beautiful sky. There you’ll also find the Duursche Waarden, where you can stop for coffee or lunch; enthusiasts can even take a dip in the cold water. Other beautiful nature areas in the vicinity include the Sallandse Heuvelrug and De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Planning to hike the long-distance IJsselpad or Hanzestedenpad trails? Then come stay with us at De Droste! We look forward to seeing you soon.

I received a very warm welcome.
Everything I needed—bedding, towels, etc.—was provided.
Nothing overly luxurious.
A great stay.

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

It was a very rural setting; I had a very large garden all to myself.
I could sit there in peace and quiet and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Everything is super well organized and also very clean. In addition, the hosts are very hospitable. Even though you are staying in someone else's yard, you do have complete privacy.

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

Wonderful to be able to relax. The nature house is located in the middle of meadows and there are several beautiful hiking opportunities in the area.

Peace, space and nature in the area, yes that is definitely here. With a minute or 25 by car I was at the Sallandse heuvelrug for walking but also 10 minutes from this cottage you can walk at the floodplain. In warm weather you can also swim there in a calm water because the ijssel itself does not really lend itself to that ivm the current. The cottage has a full kitchen and further neat and very tastefully decorated. You certainly come here to rest and the landlords are extremely friendly.
