Nature house in Lochem
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
This nature house was built in 2022. It has been rented out occasionally since late 2024. We often live there ourselves. The owner/architect designed the house as a “single-space concept”; all the rooms are connected, making it feel spacious and light, even on dark days. The 75 m² ground floor includes all essential living amenities: a flat-screen TV, fiber-optic internet, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bedroom with a double bed measuring 1.80 x 200 m. The bathroom, toilet, and storage room are located in the central section. On the first floor, there is a bedroom with two single beds (90 cm x 2.20 m), a work area, a sink with a toilet, and an exercise bike. Outside, there is a dining table with 4 chairs. There are 3 touring bikes (2 women’s and 1 men’s) and 2 parking spaces. The house is fully furnished. If you rent bed linens, your bed will be made for you. You only need to bring your personal belongings. Your dog is also welcome. He can run around freely in the 1,200 m² fenced-in yard with a 60 cm-high fence.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in a small-scale forest park called “De Witte Berken” and has a large, fenced-in garden measuring 1,200 m² so your dog can’t run away. There are plenty of trees, squirrels scurry to and fro, and at night you can hear the owls. From the cottage, you can walk or bike right into the woods. A ten-minute walk takes you to the Klein Brederode Estate, where your dog can run freely and swim. An 18-hole golf course is 3 km away. Nearby are estate shops selling organic products. Lochem is a ten-minute bike ride away, known for its lively market square with many restaurants, high-quality shops, cafés, and outdoor seating areas. The municipality has the highest density of estates in the Netherlands and was named the “Hiking Municipality of the Netherlands” in 2022. The natural landscape is very diverse, featuring a bocage landscape, rivers (the Berkel and IJssel), and hills (Lochemse Berg and Kale Berg). Zutphen (a 15-minute drive) and Deventer (a 30-minute drive) are nearby. The new MORE museums are located in Ruurlo and Gorssel.

A lovely house right in the middle of the woods. A wonderful, spacious, fenced-in yard—perfect for the dog! The house is fully furnished and equipped with all the amenities you could need. Highly recommended!

Cozy and tasteful cottage where we had a very nice time.
Gezellig en smaakvol huisje waar we een hele fijne tijd hebben gehad.
A house decorated with love and taste. Fully equipped and with many nice surprises in the design and interior. The bed is lovely, the kitchen complete and of good quality. Nice bathroom and lots of storage space. Also nice that we could use the bikes. Although the busy road from Lochem to the parking entrance in the dark was not very relaxing to bike. The park is quiet and you are right in nature. From the front door you can have a nice walk. We found the area very beautiful. What busier than Drenthe eg but therefore more culture and choice of restaurants. We had very good contact with the owners. We have read the beautiful book about Lizette's family and it has made a big impression on us. Also highly recommended.
Een met liefde en smaak ingericht huis. Van alle gemakken voorzien en met veel leuke verrassingen in het ontwerp en interieur. Het bed is heerlijk, de keuken compleet en van goede kwaliteit. Fijne badkamer en veel bergruimte. Ook fijn dat we de fietsen konden gebruiken. Al was de drukke weg vanaf Lochem naar de parkingang in het donker niet heel relaxed om te fietsen. Het park is rustig en je bent gelijk in de natuur. Vanaf de voordeur kun je lekker wandelen. We vonden de omgeving erg mooi. Wat drukker dan bv Drenthe maar daardoor ook meer cultuur en keuze aan restaurants. Met de eigenaren hadden we erg goed contact. We hebben het prachtige boek over de familie van Lizette gelezen en heeft veel indruk op ons gemaakt. Ook een aanrader.
