This cozy studio (20 m²) located in a quiet eco-neighborhood is an ideal base for exploring southern Overijssel, Deventer, and the floodplains of the IJssel; the Duursche Waarden nature reserve is highly recommended. But this is 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 small shower, sink, and 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 stove. A refrigerator is available. From the armchair, you look out onto a natural garden with an emphasis on edible plants. Partial view of farmland. South-facing sliding doors. Small terrace 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 source, a reed bed for wastewater treatment, and a carport. You can charge your electric car there by arrangement. For the children, there is a trampoline, and a spacious natural playground is within walking distance. Through the food forest, you can walk to the wooded estates of Olst or to the IJssel River. You can cycle through the floodplains of the IJssel to the Hanseatic city of Deventer (10 km), Wijhe (8 km), or to 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. You’ll find places to eat and rest along the way at farms, Kasteel de Haere, Nieuw Rande, or in Diepenveen. Olst Station—where you can also rent public transport bikes—is a 10-minute walk away. Organic vegetables are available for purchase in Boskamp on Fridays, as well as a flower-picking garden.

    The cottage is very nicely decorated with lots of handmade and/or vintage goodies. Also very nice that so much attention has been paid to sustainability, from the curtains to the shampoo to the water supply. We had a lovely breakfast outside overlooking the beautiful garden. The neighborhood itself is also very nice; it looks like hobbit cottages! Deventer is around the corner (30 min bike ride) and the area is beautiful anyway. Highly recommended

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had 2 super wonderful nights at Mijmertijd. The cottage itself is very cute and has everything you need and Miriam and Rogier are very attentive hosts. When we asked if we could check out a little later it was no problem. Thank you so much for that! Highly recommended!!!
