Welcome to our cottage on the edge of the Veluwe in a varied landscape of streams, forests and farms. From our garden you have direct access to a large pond with beautiful clear water. The cottage has a spacious bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. The room has a separate sleeping area where a luxury box spring is made. In the living area is a television and of course there is free wifi. The kitchen has a 2 burner induction hob with a hood above and a refrigerator. There is a kettle and coffee maker. Adjacent to the cottage is a sheltered terrace with garden furniture. Bicycles can be stored and charged in the veranda.

Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located in a watery area with groves, streams (sprengen), large & smaller ponds. An area rich in nature, culture and recreation. For nature lovers there is something special to see every season. Last year we had regular visits from the "house" buzzard, a raven family, the cuckoo, numerous songbirds, but .... the kingfisher remains our topper! Explore the immediate area via the wooden shoes path that runs along our farm (the "Loobrinkerpad"). Or visit nearby the beauty and wellness resort 'De Veluwsebron', or 'Burnside' (water skiing, terrace). By bike you can easily reach Castle Cannenburch in Vaassen or on the heath near Epe. The nearby villages of Epe or Vaassen are nice to visit or to do your shopping. The nearest supermarket is in Emst. A little further you will find Palace 't Loo in Apeldoorn or the beautiful old town of Deventer. Actually, there is too much to mention.

    It would be nice to have a few more bath towels

    Nice little cottage, comfortable beds.
    Very clean, beautiful surroundings.
    It was very hot while we were there, so there wasn't much to do, although there was a really nice swimming spot right behind it.

    Super clean, everything you need in the cottage, and everything in the perfect spot. We were very satisfied—a cottage we’d love to visit again in the future.

    My experience of the nature house itself suffered somewhat from the reception via terrace to front door. The terrace was not swept, still weed free, this did not look welcoming. Unfortunately in the cottage itself and especially in the bathroom there was an unpleasant smell (kind of sewer smell). I shared this, but they did not look into it. Furthermore, the cottage initially looked clean, but in certain places like the nightstand next to the bed it was not clean. Nevertheless, I slept there wonderfully and enjoyed the beautiful bathroom (despite the smell). The space (kitchen, sitting area, dining area and sleeping area) were fine! I am used to other nature houses/bed and breakfast that people check during the stay if everything is to your liking, this was not the case. A shower mat would be nice and some attention to cleanliness of terrace and dotting the i's inside will make for a more optimal experience :-) ! Happy summer !!! Response from the landlord: Dear Janine, nice that despite your first impression, you had a good stay. We certainly investigated your complaint and stuck our noses in everything, but really couldn't detect anything! It could be that the water trap in the shower was initially dry. That has now been replenished. The patio will always have leaves despite a sweep due to all the trees around us. Still, thanks for your review, it helps us to dot the 'i's! Greetings Els

    The nature house "de Ijsvogel" is close to a beautiful recreation area where you can swim and for example also water skiing. You are so in Apeldoorn and the wellness resort "the Veluwe Source" is next door.The village of Emst is easy to reach on foot and in the immediate vicinity there are nice wooden shoe paths to follow. The concert of birds was beautiful, until late in the evening. In Vaassen is the beautiful castle Cannenburch which is next to Emst. In short great place to stay from where there are fun activities to do!
