Do you believe in fairy tales? Really, they exist! In our house, in 4,000 m2 of private forest in the outskirts of Winterswijk, you will find peace and nature! Once you are through the gate and breathe the first sniff of forest air and the birds whistle you welcome, your relaxing vacation can begin! Robins, chaffinches, tree creepers, woodpeckers, they provide the musical accompaniment! Lambs bleat in the meadow and you can meet deer. In the evening you can imagine yourself in a fairy tale! Do I see the 7 dwarfs on their way to Snow White?

Nature and surroundings

In the middle of nature, our house stands on 4000m2 of private forest land. No park with facilities, completely private and sheltered among the trees with only 7 other private houses on equally large plots. A true bird paradise, the birds are busy all day and in the spring the nesting boxes are well filled. Once the sheep with their lambs are in the adjacent meadow, the spring feeling can't get any better. Even deer walk across the plot here, so much fun! There is much to do in and around Winterswijk, with numerous terraces and it is pleasant shopping. Here you can still find the geniality of the people and there is still attention for each other. The beautiful hedgerow landscape invites you for nice bike rides, there is regularly something to do culturally and there are ponds for recreation. Upon request we will gladly send you an overview of what we have found.

    Truly a pearl and rightfully a nature house! On a wooded plot in the beautiful area of the Achterhoek stands this cozy cottage. Beautifully sheltered and plenty of privacy. Do not forget to bring your binoculars because there is so much beauty to observe in the garden and surrounding area, many birds, squirrels and deer. The cottage is fine and recently modernized. Of all comforts, even if there are small children along. The communication with the hostess was pleasant. In our experience this was 10/10 and really recommended!

    Nice that six of us had two toilets and two showers at our disposal.Nice wood stove and enough seating around it for the six of us.Ample supply of crockery, cutlery and kitchen tools.Large refrigerator. Two spacious bedrooms and one somewhat smaller. Pay attention to the head there because of the sloping wall. Also at the toilet/shower upstairs. Warm greeting on arrival and good contact with the landlord both before and after the stay.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Cottage was on a very spacious forest plot near the German border with three sheep on a pasture as neighbors. Other cottages nearby but almost invisible. Very quiet brick road located well in front of the cottage. Silence, day and night and an environment without light pollution. Many different birds with their accompanying sounds. The Ratumse beek within walking distance. Wonderful walking there.
