The Bos en Hei nature house is a wonderful destination for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The garden borders directly on the Veluwe Natura 2000 area. With 1,000 km² of forests and heathlands, the Veluwe is the largest contiguous nature reserve in Northwest Europe. Here, you can still experience deep darkness and true silence, except for the chirping of birds. In short, it’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy all kinds of (outdoor) activities and attractions in the Veluwe. The nature house is surrounded by a large garden and features three bedrooms, two bathrooms with toilets, a spacious living room with a dining area, super-fast fiber-optic internet, and a fully equipped open kitchen. Four beds are fitted with box-spring mattresses and luxurious mattress toppers. The house has a washing machine, a dishwasher, and three types of coffee makers. In the garden, you’ll find a large round picnic table. Choose any of the patios to set up the garden bench and lounge chairs with footstools—in the sun or partial shade, just as you like.
Nature and surroundings
Enjoy the beautiful surroundings or relax in the garden, surrounded by squirrels and chirping birds. Behind the house, you can walk right into the quiet zone. Here you can spot plenty of wildlife: red deer, wild boars, roe deer, foxes, badgers, martens, and five species of woodpeckers. You’ll find spring-fed streams, prehistoric burial mounds, Ice Age moraines, small marshes, and heathlands with a flock of sheep. Just a ten-minute bike ride from the front of the house, you’ll find a completely different landscape: the IJssel Valley, with floodplains, windmills, a bicycle ferry, otters, beavers, and storks. The Bos en Hei vacation home is surrounded by charming villages, historic Hanseatic towns, castles, museums, outdoor sports centers, wellness centers, amusement parks, children’s activities, and a large swimming lake with a sandy beach. Epe and Heerde host markets, food tastings, live music venues, and jazz festivals. In the surrounding area, you can enjoy plenty of hiking, biking, mountain biking, horse-drawn carriage rides, or horseback riding. Enjoy the area your way!

I think the garden behind the house could use a little more attention—it’s overgrown, and you can barely get to the compost bin.
The pillows in the bedroom are way too soft; there’s a double bed upstairs, but the double comforter is too small—it would be better to buy two single comforters.
Response from the landlord:
You were more than welcome to contact us, because there are other pillows and extra single-size comforters and a single-size comforter elsewhere in the cottage. The double-size comforter is a twin-size one measuring 240x200.
Thank you for the tip about the path at the back of our wooded garden. We’ll pay extra attention to it as soon as pruning season comes around again.Ik vind dat de tuin achter het huis wat meer liefde mag krijgen, overwoekerd, bij het compostvat kom je amper bij.
Kussens slaapkamer zijn veel te zacht, twee persoonsbed boven, tweepersoonsdekbed is te krap zou beter zijn 2 eenpersoonsdekbedden te kopen
Reactie vanuit de verhuurder:
U had gerust even contact met ons mogen opnemen, want elders in het huisje liggen andere hoofdkussens en extra eenpersoons dekbedden. Het tweepersoons dekbed is een lits-jumeaux van 240x200.
Dank voor de tip over het paadje achterin onze bostuin. Daar zullen we extra aandacht aan besteden zodra het weer snoeiseizoen is.The cottage was fully equipped; it was a strange sensation hearing parrots there. After two days, lots of little birds came to check us out because they realized we had food with us—two squirrels and some mice. The heath is less than 2 km away—in August, this is truly the place to be; it’s incredibly beautiful.
Huisje was compleet , was wel vreemde gewaarwording dat je er papagaaien hoorden, na twee dagen kwamen er heel veel vogeltjes kijken omdat ze in de gaten hadden dat we voer bij ons hadden, twee eekhoorntjes, muisjes. Op nog minder dan 2 km sta je op de heide , echt in augustus is dit the place to be, waanzinnig mooi.
