Hidden among the greenery in the beautiful surroundings of Doorn on the Cape woods you will find this adorable forest cottage. The forest cottage stands in the garden of the Elim living community. This Hill Ridge forest garden of 1.15 hectares is known for its unique system of ponds and streams, which together with bridges and artistic objects are part of a unique folly architecture. The forest cottage (23m2) is completely self-sufficient, in a unique way ensured that you are provided with all the amenities. These amenities include: double bed, private shower, toilet, kitchenette and refrigerator, stylishly furnished room with internet and t.v.. In front of the cottage is a small terrace and a large piece of private garden. This forest cottage is an ideal place to withdraw yourself from the daily chaos and hustle and bustle and unwind. But not suitable for small children, in connection with unprotected deep ponds in the garden. Also not accessible for wheelchairs due to stone steps.
Nature and surroundings
Waking up to a cacophony of bird sounds, watching the squirrels pass by during breakfast and sometimes just suddenly coming face to face with a deer: it is possible in this garden. From the garden you walk directly into the forest, where you can choose from several hiking trails. If you prefer to explore the area by bike, do not forget to visit the various castles, estates and teahouses. The village center of Doorn is only a 5-minute walk away. If you are curious about what life in a community is like, then during your stay you are welcome to get a taste of community life. Join us for coffee, morning prayers or the evening meal. Nice to know: a large part of the proceeds from the forest cottage are used for the social activities of the Elim Foundation (ANBI).

Please note, however, that the cottage and garden are not suitable for people with physical disabilities due to the steps at the entrance and the rather narrow paths leading to the cottage.
Een opmerking wel dat het huisje en tuin niet geschikt is voor mensen met lichamelijke beperking door trapjes bij de ingang en nogal smalle padjes naar het huisje toe.
A wonderfully peaceful and inspiring garden and wooded surroundings. The cottage is simple but perfectly fine.
We had a wonderful time there.Heerlijk rustige en inspirerende tuin en bosrijke omgeving. Het huisje is simpel, maar prima.
Wij hebben er fijne tijd gehad.This text is automatically translated. -

It's too bad a neighbor nearby started playing the drums; it really disrupted the peace and quiet...
Jammer dat een buurman vlakbij ging drummen, dit was wel een verstoring van de rust..
A warm welcome, in a beautiful garden, close to amenities and near the Grote Bos.
The village is right next to the garden, so you can hear “typical village sounds”: people talking, (car) doors slamming, ambulance sirens, etc.
It feels like a safe little village straight out of Asterix and Obelix...
On the first day, a polecat just wandered right under my chair during breakfast!
It doesn’t get very dark in and around the cottage because of a streetlight nearby; a curtain on the streetlight side would be nice.Vriendelijke ontvangst, in prachtige tuin, dichtbij voorzieningen en dichtbij het Grote Bos.
Het dorp zit tegen de tuin aan, waardoor er "gewone dorpsgeluiden" te horen zijn; gepraat, dichtslaande (auto) deuren, ambulance sirene enz.
Het voelt als een veilig dorpje van Asterix en Obelix..
De eerste dag liep er zomaar een bunzing onder mijn stoel door tijdens ontbijt!
In en om het huisje wordt het niet echt donker wegens lantarenpaal vlakbij; gordijn aan de lantarenkant zou fijn zijn.This text is automatically translated. -

A really lovely little house—we definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet. We did have a bit of a problem with the shower, but it was fixed on the same day. Thank you so much for all your help—it was a pleasure to stay here!
We highly recommend it.Super mooi huisje, zeker genoten van de rust, wel even een mouse douche gehad maar op de dag zelf nog opgelost, super bedankt voor alle hulp en het was ons een genoegen om hier te Kunnen verblijven!
Zeker een hele sterke aanrader.You can definitely relax here—there’s no ambient noise other than birdsong, the garden is absolutely beautiful, and the forest is just around the corner. If you’re looking to unwind, this is definitely the place.
Hier kan je zeker goed tot rust komen, geen omgevings geluid buiten vogels om, de tuin is super mooi, en het bos is on de hoek, als je tot rust wilt komen is dit zeker de plek.
