Pets not allowed
My nature house is located on the outskirts of the village, overlooking our little frog pond and a 1,200-meter private forest with free-range chickens and the sounds of many birds. In my cozily decorated wooden cottage, you can enjoy the peace and quiet, get back to basics, and unwind. You can also enjoy a campfire in the fire pit or light a fire in the outdoor stove near a covered lounge area. On the ground floor, there’s a kitchenette with cooking facilities, electricity, and a small refrigerator. The bedroom is accessible via a staircase to the first floor. Outside, there’s cold running water, and our dry toilet is located within 5 meters. There is no shower.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is centrally located between Amsterdam and Utrecht and is easily accessible by public transportation. Within 500 meters, you’ll find a restaurant, a snack bar, a supermarket, and a butcher shop. De Koet Swimming & Recreation Park is just a 5-minute walk away in the village and is open during the summer months from mid-April to mid-September (hot showers available ;)) There’s a swimming area, and it’s a great spot for fishing. You can also rent a two-person kayak from us (€10) to experience nature from the water, or head to “De Grote Sniep” for coffee and pastries, or Heinoomsvaart (swimming, recreation, and a bite to eat), or to the Reinaerde tea house on the Kromme Mijdrecht. You can cover many kilometers by bike, for example along the Hollandse Kade, which takes you right through the meadows. There are many beautiful routes, such as along the Vecht River, to De Haar Castle (6.5 km), Heinoomsvaart, De Grote Sniep, or a bike ride to De Haeck (7 km) to explore a beautiful forest on foot.

A stylishly furnished cottage with separate window screens in the sleeping area. Fresh tap water. Beautiful surroundings.
Een stijlvol ingericht huisje, met aparte horren bij het slaapgedeelte. Vers kraanwater. Mooie omgeving.
The peace and quiet was (mostly) good, allowing you to enjoy the wonderful spot in the garden while being close to your family. Here, you have plenty of privacy, your own space, and a sense of being in the woods.
De rust was (meestal) goed, waarbij je in nabijheid van het gezin geniet van de geweldige plek in de tuin. Hier heb je grotendeels privacy, eigen ruimte en een bosbeleving.

I was warmly welcomed by the owners. Fortunately, the weather was brilliant which allowed me to spend a lot of time outside around the cottage and nature.
Ik werd hartelijk ontvangen door de eigenaars. Gelukkig was het stralend weer waardoor ik veel buiten kon vertoeven rondom het huisje en de natuur.
The surroundings were peaceful, nature beautiful. The cottage is now enveloped in shrubs and vegetation, enveloped in birds. The cottage was cozy and cozy and sober. Good to unwind and get rid of all the luxury. Wonderful experience.
De omgeving was rustig, de natuur mooi. Het huisje is inmiddels omhuld met stuiken en begroeiing, omhuld met vogels.
Het huisje was knus en gezellig en sober. Goed om je te onthaasten en te ontdoen van alle luxe. Prachtige ervaring.This text is automatically translated. -
