This cozy studio (20 m²) located in a quiet eco-neighborhood is an ideal base for exploring southern Overijssel, Deventer, and the IJssel floodplains—the Duursche Waarden nature reserve is highly recommended. But it’s also a place to unwind. The space features soothing colors, a wooden ceiling, long linen curtains, cozy lamps, and a large table for working, drawing, or daydreaming. There is a compact shower, a small sink, and a toilet in a lockable room. There is a double bed (140 cm wide), a well-stocked bookshelf, and a CD player. The kitchen is equipped with dishes, cookware, oil, spices, and other essentials. You can cook on a single-burner stovetop. A refrigerator is provided. From the armchair, you look out onto a natural garden with an emphasis on edible plants. Partial view of farmland. South-facing sliding glass doors. Small patio shaded by a fig tree. The studio is located on the corner of one of the south-facing homes in the earth-house neighborhood.
Nature and surroundings
The Aardehuizen neighborhood in Olst is a green paradise. Built by the residents themselves, the neighborhood is car-free. The Aardehuizen homes have their own drinking water well, a reed bed for wastewater treatment, and a carport. You can charge your electric car there by arrangement. For the children, there’s a trampoline, and a spacious natural playground is within walking distance. You can walk through the food forest to the wooded estates of Olst or to the IJssel River. You can cycle through the IJssel floodplains to the Hanseatic city of Deventer (10 km), Wijhe (8 km), or the forests of Diepenveen. Several natural swimming spots are a 15-minute bike ride away, and both Wijhe and Deventer have outdoor swimming pools. The charming town of Deventer is definitely worth a visit. Along the way, you’ll find places to eat and rest at farms, Kasteel de Haere, Nieuw Rande, or in Diepenveen. Olst Station—where you can also rent public transit bikes—is a 10-minute walk away. Organic vegetables are sold in Boskamp on Fridays, and there’s also a pick-your-own flower garden.

The cottage has everything you need. It’s also decorated in a charming and practical way. I was able to completely unwind, thanks in part to all the greenery in the garden, which you can enjoy a beautiful view of from the cottage. The hostess is also incredibly kind and goes out of her way to make sure you have a great time.
In het huisje is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Het is ook leuk en praktisch ingericht. Ik kwam helemaal tot rust ook door al het groen in de tuin waar je vanuit het huisje heel mooi op uitkijkt. Super aardige gastvrouw ook die het je naar je zin wil maken.
The studio is located in a beautiful, quiet, eco-friendly residential neighborhood with earth houses. You’re surrounded by greenery, so you can relax and, for example, read a book.
The surrounding area is great for biking and hiking. I really liked the Duursche Waarden nature reserve and also visited Klooster Sion, where they brew their own beer. Don’t forget to stop by the bakery in the windmill in Olst.
Deventer is also a charming Hanseatic city. I’m already familiar with it, but it’s definitely worth a visit, especially for people who aren’t from the area.De studio ligt in een mooe rustige ecologische woonwijk met aardehuizen. Je bent omringd door groen zodat je ook even lekker kunt ontspannen en bv. een boekje lezen.
In de omgeving kun je lekker fietsen en wandelen. Ik vond de Duursche Waarden erg mooi en ook bezoek gebracht aan Klooster Sion. Daar broiwen ze ook hun eigen bier. Vergeet niet de bakkerij in de molen te bezoeken in Olst.
Verder is Deventer een leuke Hanzestad. Ik ben hier al bekend maar zeker voor mensen die niet uit de omgeving komen leuk om te bezoeken.This text is automatically translated. -

a nice cottage: everything you need is there and it looks nice. and it's really quiet.
een fijn huisje: alles wat je nodig hebt is er en het ziet er mooi uit.
en het is echt stil.the neighborhood where the cottage is very special, quiet, green, quiet: very nice! for nature you must walk a bit, but is certainly close. in the area you can probably beautiful hiking and cycling, we have not done so much this time
de wijk waarin het huisje staat is heel bijzonder, rustig, groen, stil: heel fijn! voor natuur moet je stukje lopen, maar is zeker dichtbij.
in de omgeving kun je vast prachtig wandelen en fietsen, wij hebben dat deze keer niet zoveel gedaanThis text is automatically translated.
