When you reach the barrier, you’re almost at the nature house. It sleeps 4 people and is located in the middle of a nature reserve. It’s a thatched-roof cottage with a rustic, nostalgic interior. The cottage is nestled in the woods, surrounded by open meadows where you can enjoy 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 built with single-layer brick walls. This means it is not insulated. The house is heated by electric heaters and underfloor heating in the bathroom. But 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.).

Nature and surroundings

The estate is within walking distance of the De Haere Estate. It is 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 numerous 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 forest districts around Doornspijk. Another fun outing could be a visit to the A. Vogel Gardens at the Zwaluwenburg Estate in 't Harde. Cyclists will also find plenty to enjoy. Huis op de Bergen is rented out by SBNL Natuurfonds. 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.

    A beautiful hiking area with birds, roe deer, rare beetles, and sand lizards right near the cottage.

    The journey there is an adventure in itself. A winding forest path leads to the idyllic cottage on the hill. You feel as if you’re all alone, surrounded by the diverse natural landscape that completely envelops the cottage. It’s a cool little cottage thanks to the stone floor, shutters, and thatched roof. Depending on the wind direction, the noise from the highway is either barely audible or not at all. A special experience: As I sat in front of the cottage at dusk, two nightjars flew right in front of my nose, fluttering gently. To my utter amazement, one landed less than 3 meters away from me on the sidewalk tiles and just sat there!
    We looked at each other, and then it fluttered gently away again. So beautiful!

    A very nice stay in a nice house. Minimalist and a little back in time.... With the wood stove you can heat the house and this immediately gives a lot of atmosphere. Everything you think you need is there. The area is beautiful and it is wonderful that there are no other cottages. Total tranquility with a unique location.

    The contact with the new manager Eline is super. Quick and accurate to resolve issues.

    A lovely cottage in which everything is in ample supply. The cold was not too bad because there is good electric heating. Both in the living room and bedrooms. And a lovely wood stove that gives warmth and coziness. With the door to the kitchen open it is fine there too. Nice slippers on your feet and enjoy the special view. The area is great for hiking right from the cottage or biking in the wide surroundings. The sound of the A28 is surpassed by the beautiful surroundings.
