Nature house in Doornspijk
Gelderland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
When you reach the barrier, you’re almost at the nature house. It can accommodate up to 4 people and is located in the middle of a nature reserve. It’s a thatched-roof house with nostalgic decor. The house is situated in the middle of the forest, with plenty of open areas where you can take beautiful walks. The cottage has a simple kitchen with an induction cooktop, range hood, refrigerator, small microwave/oven, and a filter coffee maker. Downstairs is a recently renovated bathroom with a shower and toilet. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with double beds. The cottage dates back to 1941 and is a single-brick construction. This means it is not insulated. The heating is electric, and the bathroom has underfloor heating. In the living room, you can also light the wood stove. Firewood is included in the rent. Please note that there is no Wi-Fi or TV. Bedding and kitchen linens are provided. You’ll need to bring your own bath linens (towels, etc.). The staircase to the first floor is quite steep.
Nature and surroundings
The estate is within walking distance of De Haere Estate. A vast drifting sand area in the Veluwe, southwest of ’t Harde. A wide variety of birds, reptiles, and insects live at De Haere. The dry heather and juniper on the edge of the shifting sand dunes attract many birds, reptiles, and butterflies. The many transitions between the open forest and the heath make the area very attractive. Also nearby, within cycling distance, you’ll find the Willemsbos and the Zandenbos south of Nunspeet. There are countless hiking trails in the forested areas around Doornspijk. Another fun outing could be a visit to the A. Vogel Gardens on the Zwaluwenburg Estate in 't Harde. Cyclists will also find plenty to enjoy. This nature house is rented out by SBNL Nature Fund. Through our “Nature Around the Corner” campaign, we are committed to providing financial support for private projects focused on nature and landscape conservation in rural areas.

The east wind meant the highway was always audible. The dog was enjoying herself, even though she wasn't allowed to run free anywhere.
De snelweg was door de oostenwind steeds hoorbaar. De hond genoot ook al mocht ze nergens los lopen.
What a lovely little house. It's no wonder we've been coming here for about 50 years.
Heerlijk huisje. Komen hier niet voor niks al zo’n 50 jaar.

A nice place to relax. The smell in the house was the biggest drawback.
Een fijne plek om tot rust te komen. Geur in huis was belangrijkste minpunt
The garden and surroundings were fantastic. The cottage was basic, but okay. The fireplace was nice. The stairs were very steep.
There was a strange smell in the house, which made my girlfriend feel nauseous. We bought a few air fresheners.Tuin en omgeving fantastisch . Huisje basic, maar Oke. Openhaard fijn. Trap erg stijl.
Er hing een vreemde geur in het huis, hier werd mijn vriendin misselijk van. We een aantal luchtverfrissers gekochtThis text is automatically translated. -

A particularly charming house with panoramic views of nature.
It features a farmhouse door in the living room, a cozy kitchen, a nice bathroom, and comfortable beds.
The stairs are somewhat steep, so it’s less suitable for people who have difficulty walking.
There’s no Wi-Fi, but that’s easily solved with a hotspot. However, we hardly used it at all because the main appeal is enjoying the atmosphere, the peace, and the space.Bijzonder sfeervol huis met rondom uitzicht op de natuur.
Met een boerendeur in de huiskamer, sfeervolle keuken, goede badkamer en prima bedden.
De trap is ietwat stijl dus minder geschikt voor mensen die wat moeilijker te been zijn.
Geen wifi aanwezig, maar dat is prima op te lossen met een hotspot. Maar dat hebben we bijna niet gebruikt omdat het vooral genieten is van de sfeer en de rust en ruimte.What a gorgeous location in the heart of nature (forest and heathland) with plenty of privacy.
And through the backyard, you have direct access to the beautiful hiking area of the Haere sand drift.
You can always hear the hum of the highway in the background, but we didn’t find it bothersome, and it’s certainly outweighed by the peace, space, and stunning nature surrounding the cottage.Wat een schitterende locatie midden in de natuur( bos en heide) en met veel privacy.
En via de achtertuin kom je direct in het mooie wandelgebied van zandverstuiving de Haere.
Wel altijd op de achtergrond aanwezig het geruis van de snelweg, maar dat vonden we niet storend en weegt zeker op tegen de rust, ruimte en schitterende natuur rondom het huisje.This text is automatically translated.
