In the heart of the Veluwe, on the edge of stunning nature reserves such as the Renderklippen, this beautiful chalet is situated on 4.5 hectares of private grounds. The wooden chalet features a cozy sitting area with a wood stove and a cabinet full of books and games. There is a small but functional kitchen, including a Nespresso machine, electric kettle, a 2-burner induction cooktop, refrigerator, combination oven, pots, pans, and dishes. The layout is open-concept: the living room, kitchen, and sleeping area are all connected. The sleeping area features a large (king-size) and wonderfully comfortable double bed. The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and sink. Bedding, hand towels, and dish towels are provided. The chalet is located on private property, with the country house at a comfortable distance. The terrace is separated by a fence. There is ample parking on the property. There are dachshunds and cats on the property, and the hosts live there with two young children.
Nature and surroundings
Go for a walk or bike ride through the magnificent natural surroundings of Epe, such as the Renderklippen, the Tongerse Heide, or the Sandenbos, or curl up in front of the wood stove with a good book. With a little luck, you might spot wild boars, roe deer, or red deer wandering through the garden—they’re regular visitors. A fox and a badger also live on the property, and a pair of goshawks has made their nest here. In the morning, a symphony of birds will greet you. If the wildlife cameras capture any good footage, you can receive the images. Turn off the Wi-Fi if you’d like, and immerse yourself completely in nature—all while enjoying the luxury of this chalet. Historic Hanseatic cities such as Zwolle, Deventer, and Zutphen are also within easy reach. In addition, you can enjoy fun day trips to places like Apenheul, Burger’s Zoo, the Open Air Museum, and Kasteel de Cannenburgh. You won’t be bored for a moment in the surrounding area.

Nice surroundings and a cute little house—I did think the garden was a bit small. But it was raining anyway, so it didn't matter.
Fijne omgeving en leuk huisje ik vond wel de tuin wat klein. Maar het regende toch dus maakte niet uit.
It really took some getting used to—it was so quiet.
Heel erg rustig was echt gewoon even wennen.

Nice little house, friendly owner.
Fijn huisje, vriendelijke eigenaar.
I booked this cottage because I wanted to spend a few days on my own. It’s perfect for that. It’s clean and tidy, and they’ve thought of everything.
Comfortable bed and nice decor.
From the front, though, you can see right into the owners’ house.
The outdoor seating area is very small, and you end up looking at an ugly screen.
There are fantastic hiking trails—I especially loved the Tongerense Heide, about a 10-minute drive away.
Seeing a herd of wild boars roaming just 20 meters from the cottage was the icing on the cake.Ik had dit huisje geboekt omdat ik even een paar dagen op mezelf wilde zijn. Daarvoor is dit huisje prima geschikt. Het is er schoon en netjes en aan alles is gedacht.
Lekker bed en fijne inrichting.
Aan de voorkant kijk je wel het huis van de eigenaren in.
Het stukje waar je buiten kunt zitten is wel heel klein en je kijkt dan tegen een lelijk scherm aan.
Je kunt er fantastisch wandelen vooral de Tongerense Heide, op zo'n 10 minuten rijden, vond ik geweldig.
Dat er een groep wilde zwijnen op 20 meter van het huisje liep was de kers op de taart.This text is automatically translated. -

See above.
Zie boven.
We think it’s a nature house with minimal amenities, and we didn’t really feel welcome there.
It’s poorly maintained.
When you step outside the cottage, you have to be very careful not to step in the dog poop from the stray dogs.
The bed is fine; we slept wonderfully.
-Response from the host
We’re sorry your stay didn’t meet your expectations. At the same time, however, we don’t recognize the picture you’ve painted, partly because we had several points of contact during your stay and the nature house is intentionally simply furnished in a natural setting. Of course, we’ll take your feedback into account, but we also value providing a realistic picture for future guests.Het is een natuurhuisje, vinden wij, met minimale voorzieningen waar we ons niet echt welkom voelden.
Het is slecht onderhouden .
Als je het huisje uitgaat moet je heel goed opletten dat je niet in de poep trapt van de loslopende honden.
Het bed is prima, wij hebben heerlijk geslapen.
-Reactie van de verhuurder
Het spijt ons dat jullie verblijf niet aan de verwachtingen voldeed. Tegelijkertijd herkennen wij ons echter niet in het geschetste beeld, mede omdat er tijdens het verblijf meerdere contactmomenten zijn geweest en het natuurhuisje bewust eenvoudig is ingericht in een natuurlijke omgeving. Uiteraard nemen wij jullie feedback mee, maar hechten we ook waarden aan een realistisch beeld voor toekomstige gasten.This text is automatically translated.
