Nestled in a unique location in the heart of the Bekendelle Nature Reserve, you’ll find Het Beekhuis. This charming inn, dating back to 1824, offers you the chance to wake up to the song of rare birds, right in the middle of a beautiful Natura 2000 area. While enjoying a cup of coffee on the forest terrace, listen for the black woodpecker, or be lucky enough to hear the eagle owl in the evening. You might even spot roe deer without even having to step outside. The cottage has a private entrance, a spacious living room with a kitchen, a bedroom, and two terraces. In short, plenty of space for two people to fully enjoy nature and tranquility!
Nature and surroundings
The Bekendelle near Winterswijk is a unique and almost fairy-tale-like nature reserve: an ancient swamp forest through which the Boven-Slinge stream winds freely. The area is considered one of the most beautiful stream-side forests in the Netherlands. Looking for a bit more action? The charming center of Winterswijk is within biking distance. Be sure to stop by De Gulle Smid along the way—known for its distinctive watermill and charming terrace—or visit Berenschot’s Watermill, beautifully situated along the stream and within walking distance. For a special culinary experience, head to the Keunenhuis, which is within walking or biking distance.

Perfect for a weekend
Prima voor een weekend
The cottage is located in a lovely setting; you can walk right into the woods, where there are plenty of hiking options.
The basics are there, though it might be nice to add a cozier touch in terms of color and lighting above the dining table.Het huisje staat in een heerlijke omgeving, je loopt zo het bos in met diverse mogelijkheden tot wandelen.
De basis is aanwezig, mss een wat gezelliger aankleding qua kleur en verlichting boven de eettafel aanbrengenThis text is automatically translated. -

Plenty of space and a nice kitchen. There were screens on all the windows, and it stayed relatively cool inside despite the heat outside. The only thing that disturbed the peace was the creaking bed.
Heerlijk veel ruimte en een fijne keuken. Er zaten overal horren en binnen bleef het relatief koel ondanks de hitte buiten. Het enige wat de rust verstoorde was het krakende bed.
What a wonderful place to stay—with plenty of privacy and the forest right on your doorstep.
Wat een geweldige omgeving om te mogen verblijven met veel privacy en het bos recht voor de deur.

We also enjoyed going for walks here. And spending a lot of time outdoors.
ook konden we hier fijn wandelen. en veel buiten zitten
We really did enjoy the peace and quiet, especially the silence. (There were almost no sounds other than the rustling of the leaves or the whistling of the wind.) And it’s such a pleasure to go biking in this area. The cottage itself was great—a wonderful place.
wij hebben inderdaad erg van de rust genoten, vooral de stilte .( bijna geen andere geluiden dan het ritselen van de boomblaadjes of het suizen van de wind.) En je kunt zo heerlijk fietsen in deze omgeving. Het huisje zelf was prima : een heerlijke plek.
