Artistic chalet in the Bospark Ijsselheide situated next to beautiful forest walking/biking trails with heather fields and wild grazing cows. You can arrive by train at the Wezep train station or by car with free easy parking right next to the house. Supermarkets and swimming and sauna are minutes away by bike and the city of Zwolle is just one train stop away.
We believe vacation should be anything but ordinary. Escape to a fairytale world of funky colors, vintage furniture, art, nature, sustainability, self-care and sunshine. Whether it’s long walks through the forest picking berries, listening to music while making a home cooked meal, cuddling in front of the fireplace, falling asleep with a good book, restorative yoga in the garden room, unplugging and focus on your creative project, cozy candlelit evenings or fresh morning coffee. Everyone is welcome, always.
You enter the house through the garden room where there are two fish ponds with fountains creating an aquaponic garden. In the front yard is a mushroom garden and fruit trees. The garden room may be too cold to use in the coldest months but most times of year it is a lovely spot to eat, do yoga or read a book. The main house is warm enough year round. The living room has a brand new cozy electric fireplace. The newly remodeled kitchen has pots and pans and most essentials for cooking or making tea or coffee. The bathroom does have hot water. There are two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a double bed perfect for couples. The second bedroom has bunk beds which are great for children or friends. The house hosts live-in art exhibitions including the current exhibition of the New Light series by Daniel Douglas.

Is there a microwave?
There is a microwave as well as pots and pans, and other cooking utensils. If there is something you expect to have that is not provided, let us know and we will make sure it is available in the future.
Is the garden room warm enough (in the winter)?
The garden room stays a bit warmer than outside in the winter. You can open the door between the house and the garden room to allow some heat into the garden. When it isn't too cold outside, that is enough to make the room enjoyable. On colder days it is best to stay in the main part of the house.
Is there a heater?
Yes there is a cozy new electric fireplace as well as some supplemental heaters.
Do I need to feed the fish?
You can feed the fish if you like, but you do not need to. The fish eat small pieces of the surrounding plants that run through the aquaponic system. The housekeeper also feeds the fish between stays.
