Welcome to my DIY dream cottage! In the heart of the Veluwe lies this magical little spot that I’ve built with my own two hands over the past six years. All my energy, love, and time have gone into this cottage. At one point, I wanted to wait to rent it out until it was completely finished, but I’ve since realized: it’s never really finished! So starting now, I’m open to having you visit! The 70-square-meter cottage was built using eco-friendly materials—for example, the walls are made of clay and the insulation is made of straw. I’ve collected all the interior furnishings secondhand, and you’ll find creative surprises throughout the house :) The house is a work in progress! For example, last summer I worked hard on the beautiful new wooden facade. But it’s already (as one guest put it): “The most beautiful little house in the Netherlands!” :) Good to know: * The bed is located in the loft, so you’ll need to be able to climb a steep little staircase! * Wi-Fi is available, though at “forest speed” :) * A wood stove is provided, but wood isn’t included!
Nature and surroundings
With a 2,000-square-meter garden, you don’t really need to leave the property to enjoy nature! The birdsong is phenomenal, and deer regularly visit the garden. Walk down the path, and you’ll find yourself right in the midst of countless biking and hiking trails in Veluwe National Park. Whether you’re heading out to explore or relaxing in a hammock, stargazing by a campfire, or simply reading a book in a special spot: feel free and at home—you can do it all here! A personal note: this cottage is much more to me than just a place to rent out. It’s my intimate home-in-the-making. I love sharing it with like-minded people, but it also feels vulnerable to rent it out. That’s why it’s important that you treat the cottage and its surroundings with respect and care. I’m renting out my cottage because I want to continue making my dream a reality. When you stay here, you become part of that adventure—and I’m already grateful to you for that. Oh, and feel free to ask me any questions! :)

We immediately felt at home in this super cozy and unique house. Everything has been crafted and decorated in a creative way. The wood stove works great and made our stay extra cozy. The many windows and sliding doors let in plenty of light during the day. The garden is also wonderful and gets plenty of sun!
Het voelde gelijk goed in dit supergezellige en originele huis. Alles is op een creatieve manier gemaakt en ingericht. De houtkachel werkt prima en maakte ons verblijf extra knus. De vele ramen en schuifpuien laten overdag heerlijk het licht binnen. De tuin is ook geweldig en goed gelegen wat zon betreft!
A wonderfully unique home with a wooded garden. The neighborhood is quiet, yet amenities are just a short distance away.
Een heerlijk origineel huis met bostuin. De omgeving is rustig, maar wel met voorzieningen op korte afstand.

Great little house!
Geweldig huisje!
A very beautiful and cozy cottage. It has everything you need, and it’s very cozy with the fireplace lit. The surroundings are also beautiful; the cottage is right in the middle of the forest. There are lots of birds and deer in the area. Annelien is also a friendly host. She’ll send you a detailed email just before your arrival with information about the cottage.
Heel mooi en knus huisje. Alles is aanwezig, heel gezellig met de open haard aan. Ook de omgeving is prachtig, het huisje staat midden in het bos. Veel vogeltjes en hertjes in de omgeving. Ook is Annelien een vriendelijke host. Je krijgt van haar een uitgebreide mail vlak voor aankomst met uitleg over het huisje.
