Discover the surroundings

Waking up with a view of the forest, and walking through De Maashorst within five minutes. That is the daily rhythm at Forest Villa #86. The park borders directly on one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands, 3,500 hectares of forests, heathland, sand dunes, and free-roaming wild grazers such as Aurochs and Exmoor ponies.

For those seeking more than just nature: the surroundings combine tranquility with a surprisingly wide range of offerings. Historic towns, family attractions, and bustling cities are all within easy reach. Furthermore, the location is strong for rentals, being easily accessible from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
