A boarding school for boys once stood on this property in the woods. Guests stay in an apartment in the former main building. They park in front of their own entrance. Through their own door, guests enter their new kitchen with fridge-freezer, oven, cafetiere, kettle and induction cooktop. The spacious living room (23 m2) has full-width windows. The French doors give access to a platform, with beautiful views of the garden with forest directly behind. In the "L" of the room is a comfortable double bed (180x210). In linen closets guests can hang their clothes. There is a dining table with two chairs, a lazy sofa, a coffee table and a television that can be streamed only with your own smartphone or laptop. The apartment has free wifi. From the living/bedroom one enters the private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. Linen and bathrobes are provided. In the entrance hall guests also have a private toilet.
Nature and surroundings
At the apartment is a private garden seat for guests, placed in the greenest spot in the garden. A mile and a half from home is the Gimborn National Tree Museum. Hikers easily cross to the larger forest areas of the Utrecht Hill Ridge (such as Beukenrode and the Kaapse Bossen). In the morning, one is awakened by the birds. At night, an encounter with a badger or fox is not out of the question. One can also hear owls in the distance. The first restaurant with a large terrace is less than two kilometers away. Both Driebergen and Doorn offer good shopping, eating and drinking. For cyclists, Valhalla begins around the corner: past Kasteel Sterkenburg, along the Langbroekerwetering, on to Amerongen and Rhenen. The hosts love the area they live in and are happy to give advice. There is also documentation in the room; two bicycles are available. To borrow for an errand or dinner in Doorn or Driebergen. For rent for the whole day. Then it is 5 euros per bike.

A nice stay, lovely quiet environment. Very nice and helpful hosts. It is a shared yard with the owners so you can sometimes see someone coming or going. The bedroom overlooks the driveway which sometimes made me feel less than complete privacy. You do have that of course, but a little less the full "alone" experience, good to realize. Plumbing and kitchen was top notch. Around the TV it was a bit dusty.Overall, I would definitely recommend it.Response from the landlord:Glad you recommend our Nature House to others. What a shame that you apparently had not read the description on the website in full. It clearly states there that it is a shared yard. On the "driveway" that you can see from the room, previous guests have spotted a deer or a squirrel on several occasions. And that dust by the TV will have been pollen. In spring, the trees release that. It's still a Nature House ;)
Een fijn verblijf, heerlijk rustige omgeving. Erg aardige en behulpzame gastheer en -vrouw. Het is wel een gedeeld erf met de eigenaren waardoor je soms iemand kan zien komen of gaan. De slaapkamer kijkt uit op de oprit waardoor ik soms wat minder het gevoel van volledige privacy had. Die heb je uiteraard wel, maar iets minder de volledige “alleen” ervaring, goed om te realiseren. Sanitair en keuken was top verzorgd. Rondom de tv was het wat stoffig.
In totaliteit zou ik het zeker aanraden.
Reactie vanuit de verhuurder:
Fijn dat je ons Natuurhuisje aanraadt aan anderen. Wat spijtig dat je kennelijk de omschrijving op de website niet helemaal had gelezen. Daar staat duidelijk dat het een gedeeld erf betreft.
Op de ‘oprit’ die je vanuit de kamer kunt zien, hebben eerdere gasten meermaals een ree of een eekhoorn gespot. En dat stof bij de tv zal stuifmeel geweest zijn. In het voorjaar laten de bomen dat los. Het blijft een Natuurhuisje ;)Beautiful surroundings with lots of bird sounds around you. Exquisite opportunity to listen to birds and walk or bike.
Prachtige omgeving met veel vogelgeluidjes om je heen. Uitgelezen kans om vogeltjes te beluisteren en te wandelen of fietsen.

A nice place to unwind
Een fijne plek om tot rust te komen
The cottage is in the middle of nature. It is very quiet and you only hear the sound of birds. The cottage is complete, clean and with a lovely bed. The welcome was warm and we could always ask questions. Nearby you can cycle and walk well, the area is very varied.
Het huisje staat midden in de natuur. Het is er heel rustig en je hoort enkel het geluid van de vogels.
Het huisje is compleet, schoon en met een heerlijk bed. De ontvangst was hartelijk en voor vragen konden we altijd terecht.
In de buurt kun je goed fietsen en wandelen, de omgeving is zeer afwisselend.This text is automatically translated.
