Escape the hustle and bustle and unwind in this cozy log cabin, tucked away in the outskirts of Ommen, on the edge of Vilsteren estate. The cottage is located on a small estate and is completely private, surrounded by forest. From your window you overlook a small natural pond, where sometimes even deer come to quench their thirst.The forest cottage is perfect for two people and equipped with all the basic comforts: a coffee maker, kettle, refrigerator, microwave and induction stove. In the living room, the wood stove provides warmth and atmosphere. There is one bedroom with a comfortable double bed and an adjoining bathroom with sink and toilet (note: no shower inside). Showering you do in the open air, in the middle of nature, a unique experience! In winter it can be a bit cold in the log cabin.... Fortunately, the wood stove offers a solution (: And the outdoor shower is an extra refreshing experience that really wakes you up ;) Pets are welcome in consultation.
Nature and surroundings
From the forest cottage you step right into nature! It is located in the middle of the estate's forest and a short distance away you will find numerous hiking and cycling routes. The versatile Vecht valley is accessible all year round: enjoy the heathland, rolling hills, sand drifts, moraines, ancient forests and of course the picturesque river Vecht. Just two kilometers away is Vilsteren, where you can discover the estate's visitor center, restaurant De Klomp and the historic mill. The cozy centers and train stations of Ommen and Dalfsen are also nearby and easy to reach. And for a refreshing dip there is a beautiful, clean swimming pond at Vilsteren.

The cottage has everything you need. It’s spacious enough for two people. Taking a shower outside was a really nice experience—walking barefoot through the grass and moss around the cottage to take a shower out back.
The surroundings are beautiful! A varied landscape with forests and heaths, old farms, farmhouses, ponds, and meadows. Hiking in the area is a real pleasure.Het huisje heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Ruim genoeg voor 2 personen. Het buiten douchen was een hele leuke ervaring. Op de blote voeten door het gras en mos langs het huisje lopen om daar aan de achterkant te douche.
De omgeving is prachtig! Gevarieerd landschap met bossen en heiden, oude boerderijen, hoeves, vennen en weides. Wandelen in de omgeving is groot genot.100% peace and privacy! Tucked away right next to a beautiful little pond and surrounded by trees and bushes is this charming little cottage.
100% rust en privacy! Vlak naast een prachtig vennetje en tussen veel bomen en struiken is het schattige kleine huisje verstopt.

A great little cottage for a few days of true peace and quiet—not big, but big enough. Showering outside takes some getting used to—the first time, you feel pretty exposed, but that feeling goes away quickly. The cottage has electric heating, but personally, I’d leave that off and opt for the wood stove instead; it really adds to the cozy atmosphere of the cottage.
Prima huisje voor een paar dagen echte rust, niet groot, maar groot genoeg. Buiten douchen is even wennen, de eerste keer voel je je vrij zichtbaar, maar dat is snel voorbij. Er is in het huisje electrische verwarming, maar die zou ik persoonlijk uit laten en lekker voor de houtkachel gaan, die maakt het knusse karakter van het huisje helemaal af.
It's the perfect way to escape your busy life for a while with little more than a forest, a stove, and a few books.
Perfect om even helemaal uit je drukke leven te ontsnappen met niet veel meer dan een bos, een kachel, en een paar boeken.

A simple, rustic log cabin with just about everything you need. The hot shower is great. Lovely wood stove.
Remember to bring your own mosquito repellent and large bath towels for the outdoor shower. The linens package is minimal, with just one small towel per person. The walk from the parking lot is along a forest path; it was manageable using the wheelbarrow, but the handcart was in a spot we couldn’t reach. Communication with Johan could have been better. We found ourselves in front of a locked cottage. The electric heater was broken. Fortunately, firewood was still delivered.Een eenvoudig, sobere blokhut met ongeveer alles wat je nodig hebt. Douche warm, prima. Heerlijke houtkachel.
Denk erom zelf muggenspul mee te nemen en grote badhanddoeken voor de buitendouche. Het linnenpakket is summier met 1 kleine handdoek p.p. De loopafstand vanaf de parkeerplaats is over een bospad, was goed te doen m.b.v. de kruiwagen, de bolderkar stond op een voor ons onbereikbare plek. De communicatie met Johan had beter gekund. We stonden voor een gesloten huisje. De elektrische kachel was defect. Hout werd gelukkig nog gebracht.The train tracks aren't a bother—it's wonderfully peaceful, and the surroundings are beautiful. Please provide biodegradable dish soap!
De treinbaan stoort niet, heerlijk rustig, mooie omgeving. Graag biologisch afbreekbaar afwasmiddel aanbieden!
