The former wooden barn, now nature house was completely converted into a wheelchair friendly home in 2005 , but has retained the look of the barn that stood in the yard. The nature house has a private driveway and parking , which you share with the landlords. The nature house has a garden with terrace, which can be reached from the living room's French doors. From there you have a beautiful view of National Park Dwingelderveld. Walking and cycling can be done directly from the cottage. There is an orchard, vegetable garden, greenhouse, bakhuisje with oven, which you can use in consultation with the landlords.

    The people are warm and welcoming, and the cottage is very comfortable.
    The only things missing were a few kitchen items: a tea strainer, a sharp potato peeler (the two provided were too dull to use), a salad bowl, and a medium-sized saucepan.
    We didn’t want to ask for them, even though we could have. We managed by, among other things, using the wok as a salad bowl and an extra saucepan.
    The towels were very stiff; they hardly felt like fabric anymore because no fabric softener was used. The showerhead produced sharp, hard jets of water that almost hurt. The showerhead is calcified; the holes need to be pierced with a thick needle or steel pin to remove the limescale.
    It’s not a matter of life and death, but normal water pressure and soft towels would certainly enhance the experience.

    In a word, it was amazing!
    The deep silence had a healing effect on us. Surrounded by nature, this is, in my opinion, a fantastic location. The cottage itself is great: comfortable beds, all the essentials were provided, and we received a warm welcome. In short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back if possible.

What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
