Nature house in Diepenheim
Overijssel, Netherlands
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- Pets allowed
What a treat! You’ll feel like you’re in your own little kingdom on a 1.5-hectare property: meadows, a frog pond, woods, an orchard.... But if you keep an eye out, you’ll see that you’re a guest among countless birds, insects, hares, roe deer, frogs, and more. Of course, there’s a pair of binoculars in the Tiny house! If you’ve always wanted to experience what off-grid living is like, here’s your chance. A Tiny house, fully equipped, but powered by solar panels, a propane tank, and groundwater. That calls for a certain lifestyle where you have to make choices: Is the battery charged enough to keep all the lights, the fridge, and the water heater running? Is there enough water to take a shower now, or should I pump the groundwater first to fill the barrel? Do I use the dry toilet in the Tiny house, or would I prefer a wood-chip outhouse? Here, you become very aware of what you—and nothing more!—actually need to stay somewhere pleasantly and comfortably. Seize this opportunity—you won’t regret it!
Nature and surroundings
The property where the Tiny House is located is a secluded oasis on the outskirts of Diepenheim. The lot is fenced in, and you’ll be the only guest, so it’ll be a treat for your pet, too. If you’re coming for peace and nature, there’s no reason to leave the property. You might occasionally hear or see a farmer on the adjacent plot, but generally, you won’t run into anyone here. However, if you occasionally feel the need for a bit of “bustle”: Diepenheim is a charming little town with six castles, plenty of art, wooded areas, and a unique, open atmosphere. It’s a wonderful place for walking and biking. In the wider area, you’ll find charming towns like Delden, Borculo, Lochem, and Ruurlo. The Twente bocage landscape shows itself at its best here!

Agnes gave us a very warm and friendly welcome, and her detailed explanation was helpful. The cottage was exactly as shown in the photos. Don’t expect luxury—but you don’t need any here anyway. Everything you need is provided, and the off-grid nature of the place is what makes the stay so special. The solar power, groundwater, and dry toilet all worked perfectly and added to the experience.
From the comfortable chairs in the living room, you have a great view of the outdoors. We spent many hours here with our feet up, just looking outside. Since the cottage is equipped with screens all around, we weren’t bothered by flies, mosquitoes, or other insects inside. This meant all the windows and doors could stay open, giving you that wonderful outdoor feeling even indoors. The cottage was clean, cozy, and, for us, a wonderful place to stay for a week.De ontvangst door Agnes was erg fijn en hartelijk en de uitgebreide uitleg was prettig. Het huisje was precies zoals op de foto’s. Verwacht geen luxe, maar die heb je hier ook helemaal niet nodig. Alles wat je nodig hebt, is aanwezig en het off-grid karakter maakt het verblijf juist bijzonder. Het gebruik van zonne-energie, grondwater en het droogtoilet werkte prima en droeg bij aan de ervaring.
Vanuit de fijne stoelen in de woonkamer heb je een geweldig uitzicht naar buiten. We hebben hier heel wat uurtjes met de benen omhoog naar buiten zitten kijken. Doordat het huisje rondom is voorzien van horren, hadden we binnen geen last van vliegen, muggen of andere insecten. Alle ramen en deuren konden daardoor open blijven, waardoor je ook binnen een heerlijk buitengevoel had. Het huisje was schoon, sfeervol en voor ons een heerlijke plek om een week te verblijven.The location was even more beautiful than we had hoped. You have access to a large, fully fenced property with meadows, woods, an orchard, and a frog pond. The peace and quiet were immediately noticeable. During the week we were there, we saw only one person from the cottage: a farmer who came to mow the grass on his tractor. From the porch, you have a beautiful view of nature and hear almost nothing but the birds. We also saw deer, rabbits, and squirrels. Our dog loved running around the grounds and had a fantastic time here. This is truly a place where you don’t have to do anything and where you can completely unwind. Diepenheim itself is a charming little town with a supermarket and a few restaurants. There are charming villages all over the surrounding area, so you can head out to a busier spot every now and then if you feel like it.
De locatie was nog mooier dan wij hadden gehoopt. Je beschikt over een groot, volledig omheind terrein met weiland, bos, boomgaard en een kikkerpoel. De rust en stilte waren direct merkbaar. In de week dat wij er waren, hebben we vanaf het huisje slechts één keer iemand gezien: een boer die op zijn tractor het gras kwam maaien. Vanaf de veranda kijk je prachtig uit over de natuur en hoor je vrijwel alleen de vogels. Ook hebben we reeën, konijnen en eekhoorntjes gezien. Onze hond kon heerlijk over het terrein rondlopen en heeft zich hier fantastisch vermaakt. Dit is echt een plek waar niets hoeft en waar je volledig tot rust komt. Diepenheim zelf is een leuk plaatsje met supermarkt en wat eettentjes. In de omgeving zijn overal wel leuke dorpjes te vinden, waardoor je ook af en toe wat drukt op kan zoeken als daar behoefte aan is.

This was a true little paradise for me and my dogs! It was wonderful to be able to relax for a few days after a hectic period.
The cottage is small but comfortable. The hosts are incredibly welcoming. It’s truly a place where you don’t have to “do” anything, but can just relax and enjoy nature (and your own dogs).Dit was een waar paradijsje voor mij en mijn honden! Heerlijk een paar daagjes kunnen bijkomen na een onrustige periode.
Het huisje is klein maar comfortabel. De ontvangst is enorm gastvrij. Echt een plekje om even niets te 'moeten', maar gewoon lekker te genieten van de natuur (en je eigen honden).A unique place!
Een unieke plek!

The cottage had everything I needed, including comfortable lounge chairs outside, a refrigerator, a desk, and nice bedding.
For my two city dogs, it was four days of paradise: a fenced-in property with its own woods, lawn, and a frog pond. And outside the property, they could splash around in the stream and ditches, and roll around and race along the paths and fields. We hope to come back!Het huisje had voor mij alles wat ik nodig had, o.a. heerlijke ligstoelen buiten, koelkast, schrijftafel en fijn beddengoed.
Voor mijn 2 stadshonden waren het 4 paradijselijke dagen: een omheind terrein met eigen bos, grasveld en een kikkerpoel. En buiten het terrein nog plonzen in de beek, sloten en rollen en racen over de paadjes en velden. We hopen terug te komen!Yum!
Heerlijk!
