This nature house is a space designed to help you reconnect with yourself. We wanted to build it ourselves because it’s “different” from the norm. The shape of the house, the eco-friendly materials, and the furniture—everything has been carefully considered and crafted with care and joy. This allows guests staying here to find deep peace and relaxation. When you walk in, the kitchen is on the left and the living room with a dining table is on the right. There’s a cozy spot by the stove and a long sofa where you can sit back and relax. The two bedrooms are spacious and offer beautiful views of the forest. The bathroom features a large, natural stone bathtub and a spacious shower. In the kitchen, you’ll find a spacious countertop with a 5-burner induction cooktop. You’ll find all the amenities you need for a wonderfully relaxing stay. During the day, you can go for a hike in the hidden gem known as the “Needse Berg.” Then, in the evening, you can unwind on your private plot of land, listening to the sounds of the forest while sitting by a campfire.
Nature and surroundings
The house is surrounded by three beautiful, large oak trees, each about 150 years old. The private wooded area is bordered by a nature reserve. There are no other vacation homes nearby. The biodiversity is something we’ve fallen in love with ourselves. You’ll find large oaks, old hawthorns, birches, holly, rowan, and hazel. There are also conifers such as Norway spruce, Douglas fir, and Scots pine. In the forest understory, you’ll find elderberries, red currants, raspberries, ground elder, ground ivy, and stinging nettles. You can literally and figuratively reap the benefits of many of these species—or use them to make tea. Thanks to this biodiversity, there are also many birds. We’ve even installed a large fountain where birds come to bathe. At this nature house, we also have “forest animals.” There are chickens, ducks, and cats roaming around. They live outdoors, are fed by us (and our guests), and are tame. Guests always rave about how friendly and cheerful these animals are.

A lovely and very well-equipped cottage. The hosts were very responsive and answered questions quickly.
Een mooi en zeer compleet huisje. De verhuurders waren erg snel in communicatie en reageerden snel op vragen.
What a wonderful place to relax and become one with nature.
Wat een heerlijke plek om te ontspannen en een te worden met de natuur.

Very beautiful house that had everything we needed. Wies had the house warm for us when we arrived and it stayed that way for our 3 night stay (we did not have to make fires in the stove ourselves, which wasn't clear to me until we arrived). The kitchen was well-stocked and the beds were comfortable. It was nice to sit around the table watching the trees and birds. We had two toddlers with us and they loved the ducks and chickens, making a fire outside, and the swing. The only thing I can think of to mention is that the bedroom windows did not have curtains, so it was a little hard for our kids to fall asleep at their normal bedtime when it was still a bit light out. In the summer this might be a challenge for younger kids. Wies was friendly and happy to answer any questions we had.

The house was surrounded by trees and we heard birds singing all day. Although the forest it's in is small and we did see headlights from an occasional car passing by through the trees, it really did feel relaxing and private to stay here.

The philosophy of this cottage is reflected in every detail. Although the focus is on connection with nature, the cottage is fully equipped with all the conveniences you would expect from a modern accommodation. Moreover, communication with the landlord is smooth and pleasant.
De filosofie van dit huisje komt in elk detail tot uiting. Hoewel de focus ligt op verbinding met de natuur, is het huisje volledig voorzien van alle gemakken die je van een moderne accommodatie mag verwachten. De communicatie met de verhuurder verloopt bovendien vlot en prettig.
A fantastic cottage in green surroundings, although it is easily accessible you immediately imagine yourself completely isolated from the rest of the world. The land around the cottage has quite a diversity of nature and you are immediately welcomed by the local ducks and chickens.
Een fantastisch huisje in een groene omgeving, hoewel het goed te bereiken is waan je je direct compleet afgezonderd van de rest van de wereld. De grond om het huisje heeft een behoorlijke diversiteit aan natuur en je wordt direct verwelkomt door de lokale eenden en kippen.
