Nature house in Maartensdijk
Utrecht, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Do you feel at home in nature, but also love the city? Then this nature house is perfect for you. This nature house is on the outskirts of Maartensdijk, within walking distance of the Gooisch Nature Reserve, and within biking distance of the city of Utrecht. The Loosdrecht lakes are also nearby. The cottage was recently completely rebuilt, with maximum reuse of materials, and this gives the cottage its own unique atmosphere. The private land on which the cottage stands is 1 hectare. You have an unobstructed view of 4 km of meadows, with on the horizon the forest edge of Hollandsche Rading. In our pasture live the Kune kune pigs Puck and Pumba, but there is still plenty of separate fenced space left to graze your possibly brought horse(s). In the cottage you have an open kitchen, a very generous bath with sauna, a living room with wood stove, and 2 bedrooms, one with a bedstead. If necessary, the number of sleeping places can be expanded in the loft.
Nature and surroundings
On the grounds themselves we regularly see badgers, deer, foxes and hares. Birdwatchers can especially enjoy mornings: the nightingale, the copperwing, the stork, the black, the green and the pied woodpecker, the siskin, the pied flycatcher, the greenfinch, the blackhead, the tawny owl, and many other birds can be heard and seen on our property. From the nature house, the forest and moorland - which extends to Hilversum, Amersfoort and De Bilt - is just 300 meters walking distance. You can indulge yourself if you enjoy hiking, cycling, mountain biking, or horseback riding! Would you rather go boating on the Loosdrecht lakes? By car it will take you fifteen minutes to get to the water, by bike it will take half an hour. Or still a day of culture, or shopping in the city? In 15 minutes by car or 40 minutes by bike you are in the historic center of Utrecht.

This nature house comes highly recommended. We would love to come back.
Dit natuurhuisje is een aanrader. Wij komen graag terug.
This spacious cottage is clean and fully equipped for a relaxing stay. The sauna completes it. The area is great for hiking and biking. Stores, good caterer and restaurant within walking distance.
Dit ruime huisje is schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien voor een ontspannen verblijf. De sauna maakt het helemaal af. In de omgeving kan heel veel gewandeld en gefietst worden. Winkels, goede traiteur en restaurant op loopafstand.

Top! We would definitely come back. We noticed that the Nature House was clean and tidy. The kitchen even had a grater ;) The windows in the roof provide lots of natural light, which is very nice. It could be chilly, so bringing slippers is recommended. Otherwise it could be well solved with a lovely sauna and fireplace. The sauna and fireplace work well and are easy to use, and the owners were very friendly and helpful.
Top! We zouden zeker terug komen. Het viel op dat het Natuurhuisje schoon en netjes is. De keuken had zelfs een rasp ;)
De ramen in het dak zorgen voor veel daglicht, wat erg prettig is. Het kon fris zijn, dus pantoffels meenemen raden we aan. Verder kon het goed opgelost worden met een heerlijke sauna en haardje. De sauna en de haard werken goed en zijn makkelijk te gebruiken.
De eigenaren waren erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.It was wonderfully quiet. The cottage is on the owners' property, at a suitable distance. From the living room you overlook meadows. It is close to forests. For example, the Kaapse Bossen were 30 minutes away. Top! The village is also quiet and has a nice country store, among other things.
Het was heerlijk rustig. Het huisje bevindt zich op het terrein van de eigenaren, op gepaste afstand. Vanuit de woonkamer kijk je uit op weilanden. Het is vlakbij de bossen. Bijvoorbeeld de Kaapse Bossen waren op 30 minuten afstand. Top!
Het dorp is ook rustig en heeft onder andere een mooie landwinkel.This text is automatically translated. -

Lovely place. We were there with 2 babies, and enjoyed ourselves. The house is comfortable, with underfloor heating extra nice for the kids and everything well equipped and clean. Lovely place! Also the little pigs are nice and the meadows around them beautiful.
Heerlijke plek. Wij waren er met 2 baby's, en hebben genoten. Het huis is comfortabel, met vloerverwarming extra fijn voor de kindjes en alles goed uitgerust en schoon. Heerlijke plek! Ook de varkentjes zijn leuk en de weilanden er omheen prachtig.
Very nice place, close to a number of hiking trails. The weather was bad when we were there, so we did not hike them, but the area is beautiful and has many possibilities. So would definitely recommend it!
Hele mooie plek, dichtbij een aantal wandelroutes. Het was slecht weer toen wij er waren, dus we hebben ze niet gewandeld, maar de omgeving is prachtig en heeft veel mogelijkheden. Zou het dus zeker aanraden!
