Pets not allowed
This beautiful nature house is my home. Since retiring, I’ve been traveling a lot, and I’d like to give others the chance to enjoy my lovely home and enormous garden. The garden is about the size of 25 tennis courts. There are several French doors and terraces, one of which is covered and features a fireplace. The ground floor is spacious and bright, with large windows and a great view of the garden and the pond. There are games and books, and the kitchen has a coffee/tea/sugar/spice cabinet available. Upstairs are three simple bedrooms, accessible via a rather steep staircase (very large suitcases aren’t practical here). Of course, bedding and towels are provided specifically for guests. One storage room and a few closets are locked due to my personal belongings when I am traveling. One neighbor also uses the driveway. She will respect your privacy. I kindly ask you to respect hers as well. A different arrival or departure day is negotiable.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located on the outskirts of the village of Epe. From the spacious living room, you have a view of the garden and the pond. Two centuries-old linden trees provide shade and a cool retreat. Beneath them are a swing and a small slide. There’s plenty to see and do: lots of birds (sometimes a kingfisher), fish, frogs, toads, salamanders, squirrels, bats, and badgers. Miniature sheep graze at the back of the garden. Children are allowed to feed the sheep and the fish. (Well, okay, adults too ;) ). Depending on the season, you may be able to harvest strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, fava beans, lettuce, and various herbs. It’s a nice walk to the sheepfold on the Eperheide, just over an hour. Pancake house De Ossenstal is an hour’s walk through the woods. By bike, you can quickly reach the Tongeren and Gortel estates, Heerderstrand (great for swimming), the Donkey Farm, or the Trout Farm. The village center, with its many cozy terraces and restaurants, is less than a 10-minute walk away.

Very nice quiet area for walking and cycling, with many restaurants and sights nearby. Beautiful cottage with large garden to relax in. Contact with the host I experienced as very pleasant.
Hele mooie rustige omgeving om te wandelen en te fietsen, met veel restaurantjes en bezienswaardigheden in de buurt.
Fraai huisje met grote tuin om in te relaxen. Contact met de gastheer heb ik als zeer prettig ervaren.We had a very nice week here. The cottage is pleasant to stay in. The living room is nice and spacious. A bookcase with many books, Dutch and English literature. In terms of home supplies, almost everything is there. We only missed a small freezer compartment in the refrigerator. The staircase is a bit awkward: it is steep and has no handrail. The beautiful garden, with a beautiful pond and three sheep, is really big with lots of places to sit. When we were there we could enjoy the enormous peace. Nice that there are two bikes that you can use. Walking or cycling you are within a few minutes in the woods. There is much to see in the area. By car you can get to the Loo Palace or the museum town of Elburg. By bike you are in no time at the moors that were now in bloom.
We hebben hier een hele fijne week gehad. Het huisje is prettig om te verblijven. De huiskamer is lekker ruim. Een boekenkast met veel boeken, Nederlandse en Engelstalige literatuur. Qua huisvoorraad is vrijwel alles aanwezig. Wij misten alleen een klein vriesvak in de koelkast.
De trap naar boven is wel wat onhandig: is stijl en heeft geen trapleuning.
De mooie tuin, met een fraaie vijver en drie schaapjes, is echt groot met veel plekjes om te zitten.
Toen wij er waren konden we genieten van de enorme rust.
Fijn dat er twee fietsen zijn die je mag gebruiken. Wandelend of fietsend ben je binnen een paar minuten in de bossen.
Er is veel te bezichtigen in de omgeving. Met de auto ben je zo bij bijvoorbeeld paleis Het Loo of in het museumstadje Elburg. Met de fiets ben je in een mum van bij de heide die nu in bloei stond.This text is automatically translated.
