BRAND NEW! After biking, canoeing, or hiking, relax in this luxurious nature house. Includes a FREE GRAFSCHAFTER GÄSTEKARTE! Features include free bus, train, and swimming pool access. A former farmstead spanning over 6,500 m² just outside Osterwald, near the Dutch border. Your apartment features a U-shaped kitchen with high-end appliances, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a sheltered garden, and a large terrace with a stunning view of the fields, where you can spot hares, roe deer, or pheasants. On the terrace, you can barbecue, and the lawn invites you to play soccer, bocce, or badminton. Throughout the property, there are seating areas where you can read, watch the chickens, or simply relax and reflect on your day. Cycling and hiking routes are mapped out, and brochures with recommendations for things to do and board games are in the cabinet. After enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal—or dining at one of the many restaurants—watching the news, and catching up on emails, you’ll sleep soundly in the quiet bedrooms. You can store your bikes in the bike shed, and park your car 10 meters in front of the 1830 farmhouse.

    Great!-

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a very pleasant stay at the Gelre cottage. The cottage was fully equipped and looked clean and tidy. There was a crib, a high chair, and a changing pad. We stayed with our two children, and they loved watching the chickens roaming around. Rina was very helpful and a kind and wonderful hostess.

    A neat, clean, and new little house

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderful vacation in our cottage. A beautiful, new, and clean cottage equipped with all the amenities. Everything our children needed was there, too. Stair gates, a crib, a changing pad, and a high chair. For the older kids, there were games, books, outdoor toys, and, of course, a huge yard for them to play in. Our hostess, Rina, and her husband, Peter-jan, were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. In short, highly recommended!

    A well-furnished cottage, fully equipped
    Modern yet full of character
    Spots in the sun and in the shade
    Quiet surroundings
    Plenty of space, including room to store your bikes
    Just across the border
    A warm welcome—you’ll feel right at home

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A very nice little cottage in a rural setting. The two of us had a wonderfully relaxing week. The cottage is located on the owners’ property—they’re very friendly and thoughtful—but there’s more than enough privacy. The cottage has been cleverly and beautifully renovated, and with the air conditioning upstairs, we slept wonderfully even in the warm weather.
    You can sit anywhere—in your own garden, but also in all sorts of spots in the large shared garden. Meanwhile, the chickens happily scratch around you.
    We did a lot of biking in the area. You can set off almost right next to the cottage at the first junction on your route. The surroundings are lovely—meadows, farmland, and woods, with the occasional hill.
    It’s just across the border; you’ll be there in no time, yet it feels like a whole other world.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
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.
