Nature house in Emst
Gelderland, Netherlands

Welcome to my self-built dream cottage! Heart of the Veluwe lies this magical place that I have built with my own hands over the past six years. All my energy, love and time is in this house. Once I wanted to wait to rent it out until it was completely finished, but now I've realized: it's never really finished! So from now on I am open for your visit! The 70m2 house is built with green building materials - there are clay walls and straw insulation. The whole interior I collected second hand, and throughout the house you will find creative surprises :) The house is a work-in-progress! For example, last summer I worked hard on the new beautiful wood facade. But it is already (quote from visitor): "The most beautiful cottage in the Netherlands!" :) Good to know: * The bed is located on the mezzanine, this requires a steep staircase! * Wifi is available, though with forest speed :) * Wood stove is available, but wood not included!
Nature and surroundings
For nature experience you actually do not have to leave the grounds with the garden of 2000m2! The serenades of the birds are phenomenal and even deer regularly pass by in the garden. If you walk down the path, you are already among countless cycling and hiking trails of National Park Veluwe. Out and about or relax in a hammock, stargazing by a campfire or just reading a book in a special place: feel free & at home - here you can do it all! A personal note: this cottage is much more to me than a place to rent. It is my intimate home-in-waiting. I love sharing it with like-minded people, but it also feels vulnerable to rent out. That is why it is important to treat the cottage and its surroundings with respect and care. I rent out my cottage because I want to continue realizing my dream. If you stay here, you'll be part of that adventure - I'm already grateful for that. Oh and feel free to ask me a question! :)

A really cute, cozy little cottage that feels very personal and homey. We really enjoyed having a little fireplace and spent hours sitting by the campfire. You can tell that Annelien put a lot of work into making it a homey place. It was great that all the essentials were provided in the house. With the bed, I could feel every movement my boyfriend made, which meant I didn’t get much sleep, but my boyfriend didn’t have any trouble at all.
All in all, we just had a wonderful experience. Sometimes you need to recharge after a weekend getaway, but at this place, you really do recharge!Een heel schattig, kneuterig huisje wat erg persoonlijk en knus voelt. We vonden het heel gezellig dat er een haardje was en hebben uren bij het kampvuur gezeten. Je ziet dat Annelien er veel werk in heeft gestoken om er een huiselijk plekje van te maken. Fijn dat alle benodigdheden ook in het huis aanwezig waren. Met het bed voelde ik wel elke beweging die m’n vriend maakte waardoor het voor mij korte nachten waren, maar mn vriend heeft nergens last van gehad.
Al met al gewoon een geweldige ervaring gehad. Soms moet je na een weekendje weg ook weer opladen, maar bij deze plek laad je echt op!We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the open space around the cottage; it really made us feel like we were out in nature, just the two of us. The constant birdsong in the background—and seeing birds flit by regularly—was amazing! It was also great that there were so many hiking trails nearby, and my boyfriend even spotted deer and wild boars while mountain biking. So there’s plenty of wildlife in the area!
We hebben heel erg genoten van de rust en ruimte rondom het huisje, waarbij je echt het gevoel hebt dat je alleen met z’n tweetjes in de natuur bent. Continu het gezang van vogels op de achtergrond die je ook regelmatig voorbij zag fladderen, geweldig! Daarnaast was het ook heerlijk dat je ook heel veel wandelroutes in de buurt had en m’n vriend heeft met het mountainbiken reetjes en zwijntjes gezien. Veel wildleven in de buurt dus!

We stepped into a fairy tale.
So cozy and creative.
You can tell the cottage has been renovated and decorated with love.
The hostess was so friendly. We’d love to come back!We stapten binnen in een soort sprookje.
Heerlijk knus en creatief.
Je voelt dat het huisje met liefde is opgeknapt en ingericht.
Gezellig contact met de gastvrouw. We komen graag terug!We stepped into a fairy tale.

super, cozy, complete, beautifully located.
super, knus, compleet, prachtig gelegen.
Super cozy cottage, it is special to be in a house that has many personal belongings. it is beautifully situated, with dog ideal. Walking we did from the cottage. it was quite rainy but that is not a punishment there, sitting on the couch with the tapping rain on the roof was delicious. Sleeping we did as otters, awakened by birds and sunlight made it an idyllic place. we missed in the evening just some extra curtains when you sit on the couch and the rug upstairs was loose what caused and few times heart pangs. The scary dolls in the bathroom we just put behind the painting, but these are all things that should not spoil the fun. It is definitely recommended! We were not quite clear whether we had to bring comforter and pillow as a whole or just the pillowcases, comforter cover and fitted sheet. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!
Super knus huisje, het is bijzonder om in een huis te zitten dat veel persoonlijke spullen heeft. het is prachtig gelegen, met hond ideaal. Wandelen deden wij vanaf het huisje. het was vrij regenachtig maar dat is daar geen straf, lekker op de bank zitten met de tikkende regen op het dak was heerlijk.
Slapen deden we als otters, gewekt door vogels en zonlicht maakte het een idyllisch plekje.
we misten 's avonds alleen wat extra gordijnen als je op de bank zit en het vloerkleed boven lag los wat voor en paar keer hartverzakking heeft gezorgd. De enge poppetjes in de badkamer hebben wij even achter het schilderij gezet, maar dit zijn allemaal dingetjes die de pret niet mogen drukken.
Het is zeker een aanrader!
Ons was niet helemaal duidelijk of we dekbed en kussen in zijn geheel moesten meenemen of alleen de kussenslopen ,dekbedovertrek en hoeslaken. Dit laatste is het geval.
Heel erg bedankt voor het fijne verblijf!!This text is automatically translated.
