This picture gives you a clear idea of the immediate environment of the house.

This little fence is more symbolic then used as an entrance. We mostly enter the house with shoppings and such, coming form the carport where we park our car and protect it of the signs and symptoms of the presence of the many birds and squirrels.

The studio is an isolated workplace, where the internet is still active. You can find it in one of the little sheds.

Access to the heated pool of Parc de Kievit is for free and at 5 minutes walking distance of the house. Of course instead of walking you can also take one of the bicycles that are waiting for you in one of the sheds.

Brasserie de Kievit is open 5 days a week for diner and drinks, both inside and on the terrace

Good times to create or remember good memories..

playground for little kids with benches for the caregivers

Entrance to Parc de Kievit, where you can park you car (for free) if you, or your guest, don't want to bring it all the way to the house.

What you see here is the map for Parc de Kievit. Unfortunately you can't zoom in on it to see that the Vogelhuis (#278) is situated in the area close to the bottom line of the triangle, thinking an imaginary perpendicular line down from the top of the triangle. I know it is a bit of a riddle.

The Vogels House in Netherlands, North Brabant, Baarle-Nassau - gîte / cottage

Depending on the occasion, you can sit or lay down on several patios in front or behind the house.

The house is surrounded by lush greenery, suitable for both two legged and 4 legged creatures.

The diner table is big enough for 6 and so is what you need for a good diner. Cups, plates, glasses in old fashion style are for every day use in the large wooden cabinet, full of interesting table ware.

Cozy lights are a specialty of a Dutch household. The lights can be lowered and are suitable for reading as well as ambience accents. Heating is central but can be enhanced by our pellet stove.

Master bedroom
Extra pillows and an extra winter comforter is available for colder nights. — Master bedroom Extra pillows and an extra winter comforter is available for colder nights.

The second bedroom, for the kids, or for an another couple. The beds are two singles but can easily be turned into a double bed.

The kitchen is well equipped and pleasant. Electric cooking, air fryer, micro-wave, various forms of coffee making, mixer, blender. It's all there!

Bathroom is small indeed but suffices. The shower works fine. To be truthful, it is still on our list of desired renovations. But it is perfectly functional as is.

One of the little outside terraces, suitable for breakfast, among others.

If you want to withdraw from the party, you can take a book and sit down in more isolation.

And then there are a number of smaller sheds, turned into a little studio and what we call our Ibiza Pergola, where you can sit outside, even when the weather is not cooperating.

Yes this is me, Antoinetta Vogels when we first finished the Ibiza Pergola. Perfect to hang out with a book, a cigarette, because you can smoke here if you choose to do that, meditate or have a good conversation. Even a lighthearted one wouldn't be out of place.

A nice and very fully furnished house in a beautiful area for us. We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet, but also the many birds and squirrels that could be seen daily around the house in the garden.

What a nice place! Highly recommended. So much peace and space in and around the cottage.
Everything is there. Lovely beds and a nice rain shower. From the cottage you can walk straight into the woods. Communication runs ...

Thank you so much for your nice comment. We are very happy that your stay was exactly what you needed. You've probably just missed out on the jerk rain that often kicks in around this time. It's an interesting natural phenomeno...

Vadim was a pleasure to have in the Vogelshuis.
I am sorry I see this review system so late and I still need to get a sense of how it works. But I want to say: Vadim goes recommended and I would love to host him again.
