This beautiful nature house is my home. Since retiring, I’ve been traveling a lot, and I’d like others 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 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.

The area is suitable for a lot of things yet I have tapped what I myself have experience with (hiking/biking/mountain biking). There are many horses in the area so I am sure there is plenty of room for horseback riding and bird watching too!
De omgeving is voor heel veel geschikt toch heb ik aangetikt waar ik zelf ervaring mee heb (wandelen/fietsen/ mountainbiken). Er zijn veel paarden in de buurt dus er is vast ook veel ruimte om te paardrijden en ook vogels te kijken!
Cottage with a large garden (nice) and very spacious first floor that is pleasant even in winter. As a family you can have a pleasant time there together or separately. For us a bonus was the very cute little schaapejs that we could feed some kibble (fun for all ages :-)). Within walking right into the center of Epe (15 min), while you yourself are quite rural. Epe also has a lot of forest and heath nearby so always nice to get a breath of fresh air.
Huisje met een grote tuin (fijn) en zeer ruime benedenverdieping die ook in de winter aangenaam is. Als gezin kun je daar prettig samen of los van elkaar je gang gaan. Voor ons was een bonus de erg leuke kleine schaapejs die we wat brokjes konden voeren (leuk voor alle leeftijden :-)). Binnen door loop je zo het centrum van Epe in (15 min), terwijl je zelf behoorlijk landelijk zit. Epe heeft daarnaast veel bos en heide in de buurt dus altijd fijn om lekker uit te waaien.

The house is very spacious and everything is there.
Het huis is heel ruim en alles is aanwezig.
Hest house is beautiful and quiet in a large garden. We had some bad luck the first few days with the neighbors who made quite a bit of noise, but after that it was wonderfully quiet.
Hest huis ligt prachtig en rustig in een grote tuin. Wij hadden de eerste dagen wat pech met de buren die nogal wat geluid maakten, maar daarna was het heerlijk rustig.
