You immediately feel at home in the cozy monumental lodge in the Achterhoek between fields and forest where you imagine yourself in the time of yesteryear. It is painted in the colors of yesteryear and has monumental elements such as old stable doors in the living room, the old chimney in the bedroom, the beautiful room with original stone oven. This 2-3 persons lodge of 81 m2 has a spacious living room, luxury bathroom, kitchen and bedroom with double bed (210cm long) and a single bed. Furthermore, the lodge is equipped with every comfort (underfloor heating through heat pump), Nespresso coffee maker, induction stove, dual pan airfryer, washing machine, dishwasher, TV and excellent Wifi. There is an outdoor pizza oven for the summer months and a cozy wood stove inside for the colder months. There is a universal charging station and a separate porch with beautiful views of meadow and wooded areas. Lovely to sit in the morning, or in the evening to enjoy the sunset.

Nature and surroundings

Our cottage is located in a former Heem and ornamental garden on almost 2 acres of nature with an apple orchard with old varieties, food forest, pools and English climbing roses. The whole is fenced in by old oaks, poplars and beeches. From the location there is plenty of hiking and biking opportunities. Within 25 kilomter you will find the old Hanseatic cities Doesburg and Zutphen and the oldest town Bronckhorst. Vorden with the eight castles route, Castle Ruurlo with Museum Moore and s'-Heerenbergh with Castle Bergh. Or enjoy long walks in Montferland, at Slangenburg Castle, in the Kruisberg Woods or on 't Zand near Ruurlo. It is not for nothing that the Pieterpad runs through Zelhem. By the way, Zelhem has several good restaurants and the liveliest village square in the Achterhoek. Of course there is the city of Doetinchem at 6 km with cinema, theater and even more dining options. For the sportsman there are many beautiful golf courses, horseback riding opportunities and a water ski slope at Stroombroek.

    The house is very comfortable, with underfloor heating and a great bed. We had bad weather so can't tell much about the area. Museums are very good. MORO is a favorite.

    Nature, peace & environment: 3/5

    Bit locked up, because garden and house are not integrated. Response landlord: Too bad you have interpreted it that way. Everything is allowed open (for the two large swing windows are already since opening screens, as well as in the skylight and for the door now a fly curtain). But we do not recommend this . There is namely a pleasant constant temperature created by the heating / cooling mbv a heat pump what you would undo by in high summer everything open. Regarding the separate seating in the garden: this will be realized in spring 2026.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    Everything was present in t cottage. More than top. Nice bed and enough space for 2 people. Too bad the door was not allowed to be open because of the heat pump. That felt a bit trapped. I missed a private seating area in the garden. A private entrance and outdoor space in the garden would make the accommodation 100% top.

    Beautifully converted part of old farmhouse. A little dark inside, though. But, you also just have to go out. Do not stay on the couch.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4/5

    Great place for drue stages of Pieterpad
