This spacious home features a large open-concept kitchen, 4 bedrooms (3 double bedrooms and 1 triple bedroom), and a single bed in the loft. There are 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets. The kitchen-dining area has a fully glazed front facing north and overlooking the edge of the forest. Above the kitchen-dining area is a spacious loft. The kitchen is equipped with all modern conveniences; however, there is no microwave and currently no freezer. There is a filter coffee maker. There is also a glass “press-style” coffee maker for filter coffee and a small gas-powered espresso maker. You can optionally add bed linens for €8 per person. The house is often used by musicians. There’s a beautiful grand piano in the living room, which you’re welcome to play if you know how to play the piano.

Nature and surroundings

The house is situated in complete tranquility on the edge of the forest, halfway down a sandy dead-end path frequented only by cyclists and hikers. The lawn around the house is partly overgrown and partly mowed. The house is part of our romantic, slightly untidy farmyard. Don’t expect neatly manicured paths and flower beds. Here, nature is given free rein. There is a very rich variety of flora and fauna; a birdwatcher recently counted no fewer than 35 species of birds. There are also foxes, badgers, martens, roe deer, hares, rabbits, bats, and insects. Located 3 km from Almen and 7 km from Zutphen. Deventer and Lochem are also within biking distance. There are plenty of opportunities for walking and biking. You can start right from the property. Almen has a nice outdoor swimming pool. There, you can also rent canoes for the Berkel River. You can also swim in the Berkel, about 4 km from our place. Near the house, you can rent donkeys for a walk. We live next door to the house on our farm, 35 meters away. You’ll have complete privacy.

    There were a few minor issues that could be improved:
    The drain in the downstairs shower is too small; it overflows quickly.
    The large table downstairs is too small (the extension gets stuck at half past six).
    The bathroom door (the connecting door) cannot be locked.
    A (small) freezer would be handy.
    Parking could be a bit more spacious (there’s room for it).

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    There were eight of us men (50+) on our annual cycling weekend.
    The house and the surrounding area were perfect for this.
    It was nice and spacious both inside and out, and all the necessary amenities were in place.

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. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

You can cancel your booking free of charge up to 28 days before arrival. For bookings with an arrival date within 28 days, free cancellation is available within 24 hours of booking. If you cancel within the specified period, you are entitled to a full refund of the booking amount.
