This secluded historic hunting lodge is now a museum that combines a cozy living room, kitchen, and hunting room all in one. Nestled in the woods, it features a spacious bedroom and a bathroom that has been modernized in keeping with the original style. Step back in time and imagine yourself as Cartouche! Here, the hunter and writer Cartouche welcomed famous Dutch figures, such as the artist Rien Poortvliet, who left their mark on the place. The atmosphere is completed by hunting trophies, drawings, and the small floating table in front of the fireplace—the very spot where tall tales were shared among the hunting party. The location is ideal for nature lovers, those seeking peace and quiet, hikers, and cyclists. The cabin is nestled in the woods, with the caretakers’ home on the same property. The garden, porch, and terrace offer plenty of space to relax and fully enjoy the peace and quiet. High-speed internet is available. Upon arrival, the caretakers are happy to share a story about the cabin’s history.
Nature and surroundings
Here, you’ll be immersed in nature. From the hunting lodge—which also serves as a museum—you can gaze hundreds of meters deep into the beech forest. Step outside and immediately begin your endlessly peaceful walk through the forest of dancing trees in the Speulder and Sprielder Woods, past burial mounds and the Solse Gat, or across the Houtdorperveld and the Ermelose Heath. Points of interest include the sheepfold on the Ermelose Heath, the Staverden Castle estate, sand sculptures in Garderen, the Schovenhorst estate in Putten, and more. Ermelo and the Hanseatic city of Harderwijk are nearby.

It's a cottage with so much personality, yet I felt right at home.
Het is een huisje met zoveel persoonlijkheid, maar toch voelde ik me er meteen thuis.
Exceeded all expectations!
Overtrof alle verwachtingen!
