Guests who stayed here find the surroundings fantastic for
Bird watching Cycling Hiking

Enjoy a vacation in the heart of the Achterhoek’s beautiful rolling countryside. We completely renovated this charming vacation home ourselves, using many reused materials. We transformed an old barn into a comfortable vacation home with underfloor heating, a bathtub, and all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay in the peaceful surroundings of Aalten. Downstairs, there is a bedroom with a double bed (1.60 x 2 m) and the bathroom; upstairs, there is a loft and a (children’s) bedroom with two single beds (2 x 0.90 x 2 m). The cottage is approximately 80 m². There is a fast and reliable Wi-Fi connection; the kitchen is equipped with an oven, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a dishwasher, a filter coffee maker, and a kettle. There’s a smart TV, puzzles, and games. An 11-kW electric vehicle charging station is available for a fee. Please note: the front door is only 1.85 meters high, and some people find the stairs leading upstairs steep (see photos).

Nature and surroundings

The vacation home is located next to our farm at the end of a small dead-end road, just outside Aalten (4 km). You can step right out the door to go for a walk, and you have a good chance of seeing roe deer nearby. Nearby are the nature reserves Het Aaltens Goor and the Vennebulten. At the beginning of the road is a junction on the bicycle route network. The MTB trail also starts 200 m from the vacation home. It’s wonderfully peaceful here, but the shops are only a 10-minute drive away. Just across the border in Germany, there’s a swimming pool and sauna (10 km). The book town of Bredevoort, home to the De Slingeplas swimming lake, is 8 km away. Doetinchem and Winterswijk are a 15-minute drive away.

    It’s a comfortable and unique nature house. Every detail has been carefully thought out, and because everything was designed and built by the owners themselves, “Het Poggenschot” has a personal and distinctive character.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A small green “island” at the end of a path, nestled in a landscape of rolling fields. Every day, the deer frolicked at a respectful distance through the fields in the distance. Whether by bike or on foot, you’re immediately surrounded by nature.
