The forest house is situated on a spacious 1,650-square-meter lot that offers plenty of privacy. Although the lot is wooded, there is still plenty of space to enjoy the sun in the summer. From the house or the porch, you can spot many birds, squirrels, and sometimes even a badger! Everything is located on the ground floor. You rent the house entirely privately; the upper floor is unoccupied and locked during your stay. The house is fully heated by underfloor heating and features a cozy indoor and outdoor wood stove. You can cozy up by the wood stove on the spacious porch on cooler days. The kitchen is well-equipped with, among other things: an induction cooktop, dishwasher, combination microwave, coffee maker, kettle, and refrigerator. There is also a small freezer. There are two double bedrooms, both equipped with a wardrobe and blackout curtains. The house features a cozy, warm bathroom with a separate toilet.

Nature and surroundings

For all lovers of peace and quiet, nature, wellness, hiking, and biking, this is the ultimate forest cottage, bordering the Het Loo Crown Estates and located in the same village as the Veluwse Bron sauna and wellness resort. The house is situated in a small forest park called "De Vliegden" in the middle of the woods. There is no canteen, no playgrounds, or playground equipment in the park. The town of Emst is located between Vaassen and Epe. Hikers and cyclists can set out directly from the forest house and head straight into the woods. There are countless beautiful hiking and biking trails through the woods and across the heath. The Kievitsveld recreational lake in Emst is within biking distance. It’s a great place to visit in the summer to cool off. You can relax on the beach, go swimming, enjoy a nice beach pavilion, and there’s a wakeboard course where you can water ski or wakeboard. Also nearby are: Apenheul, Dolfinarium, Julianatoren amusement park, Veluwestrand, and the shopping towns of Apeldoorn, Deventer, Zwolle, and Harderwijk

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We were in this fantastic cottage for the 2nd time. The cottage is fully equipped and very complete. If you like peace and nature you are in the right place. In the garden squirrels, foxes and pine marten seen. During our walks include turnstones, black woodpecker and tree falcons, boars and deer and the paw prints of wolves.

    You can walk straight into the forest or bike onto the moors. The park is very quiet and you can sit in the garden.
