Pets not allowed
For years, we rented cabins in the woods all over the Netherlands with our children. We were always searching for that one place where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle. A place where you wake up to the sound of birds, can wander endlessly through the woods, and sit together by the fire in the evening while outside, only the silence of nature can be heard. Earlier this year, we found this dream spot. Tucked away on the edge of De Borkeld nature reserve, in the middle of over 2,000 m² of private woodland, we discovered our dream cottage: ’t Hazelhuisje. A hidden spot where you see no one and where the forest completely envelops you. As soon as you turn onto the sandy path and disappear among the trees, it feels as though the outside world ceases to exist. With great love, we rebuilt and furnished the cottage in the style of a cozy English cottage. Cozy, charming, and peaceful, with natural materials, soft colors, a stove that crackles on cold evenings, and equipped with all modern comforts.
Nature and surroundings
De Borkeld is one of those rare places in the Netherlands where silence is truly silent. A vast nature reserve filled with ancient pine forests, rolling heathlands, sandy paths, and mysterious juniper trees, some of which are decades old. Here you can walk for hours without rushing, with only the sound of birds, rustling leaves, and the wind through the trees keeping you company. In the early morning, a soft mist often hangs among the trees, making the landscape seem almost fairy-tale-like. In August, the heathlands turn a deep purple, and De Borkeld transforms into a sea of color. Roe deer sometimes cross the path unexpectedly, birds of prey circle high above the heath, and in quiet moments, it feels as though you are completely alone in nature. De Borkeld lies on the border of Twente and Salland and has retained a sense of untouched wilderness. The Sallandse Heuvelrug is just a 10-minute drive away.
