There used to be a boys’ boarding school on this wooded property. 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 kitchen, which is equipped with a fridge-freezer, oven, French press, electric kettle, and induction cooktop. The spacious living room (23 m²) features a full-width window. The French doors open onto a balcony, offering a beautiful view of the garden with the woods directly behind it. In the “L”-shaped section of the room is a comfortable double bed (180x210). There is a wardrobe, a dining table with two chairs, a comfortable sofa, a coffee table, and a television with all standard channels. The apartment has free Wi-Fi. From the living/bedroom, you enter the private bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer. Linens, bathrobes, games, and tourist information are provided. Guests also have access to a private restroom in the entryway.
Nature and surroundings
The apartment has a private outdoor seating area for guests, located in the greenest spot in the garden. The Gimborn National Tree Museum is one and a half kilometers from the house. Hikers can easily continue on to the larger forested areas of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug (such as Beukenrode and the Kaapse Bossen). In the morning, you’ll be awakened by the birds. At night, an encounter with a badger or fox is not out of the question. You can also hear owls in the distance. The nearest restaurant with a large terrace is less than two kilometers away. Both Driebergen and Doorn offer great shopping, dining, and drinking options. For cyclists, paradise begins just around the corner: past Sterkenburg Castle, along the Langbroekerwetering, on to Amerongen and Rhenen. The hosts love the region where they live and are happy to offer advice. There is also information available in the room. Two city bikes are available to borrow for running errands or going out to dinner in Doorn or Driebergen.

A beautiful, well-finished cottage with great amenities. The owner’s artwork makes it special.
Mooi, goed afgewerkt huisje met goede voorzieningen. De kunst van de eigenares maakt het bijzonder.
Located in a very quiet spot in a small wooded area. Part of the owners' home.
Heel rustig gelegen in een stukje bos. Onderdeel van een woonhuis van de eigenaren.

The place was very well-equipped, but there was no adequate sun protection (only blinds) and there were no window screens either. When I arrived, the outside temperature was 33 degrees, and inside it was 30 degrees.
The owners were helpful and very friendly, but because of the mosquitoes, I went home early.
Landlord’s response:
Dear Mieke de Bock,
we’d like to correct two points in your review.
The first concerns the “torks,” as you call them. Shade cloths do not completely block out the sun, but we consider them pleasant sun protection and have heard the same from other guests. Furthermore, the living/bedroom has venetian blinds.
As for the screen doors: there is indeed a screen door on the large window in the living/bedroom; there isn’t one on the small window in the kitchen. There was never a reason to install one there because no one before you ever complained about mosquitoes.
Best regards, Mieke and Ronald’De inrichting was zeer compleet maar er was geen adaequate zonwering (alleen torks) en ook waren er geen horren. Ik arriveerde met een buitentemperatuur van 33 gr, binnen was het 30 gr.
De eigenaren waren behulpzaam en erg vriendelijk maar vanwege de muggen ben ik eerder naar huis gegaan.
Reactie verhuurder:
Beste Mieke de Bock,
graag corrigeren we je review op twee punten.
De eerste betreft de ‘torks’ zoals jij ze noemt. Met schaduwdoeken sluit je je huis niet hermetisch van de zon af, maar wij zien ze als prettige zonwering en hebben dat ook van gasten terug gehoord. Bovendien heeft de woon/slaapkamer luxaflex.
Wat betreft de horren: voor het grote raam in de woon/slaapkamer zit wel degelijk een hor; voor een klein raampje in de keuken niet. Daar was nooit aanleiding toe omdat niemand voor jou ooit over muggen heeft geklaagd.
Groet, Mieke en Ronald’Very peaceful, beautiful forests
Zeer rustig, prachtige bossen
