Logies Groot Okhorst

Luxury apartment in a monumental 17th century farmhouse in a quiet location near Hackfort estate in Vorden. Three bedrooms, kitchen with cooking island, wood-burning stove, rain shower, bathtub, infrared sauna and 1,000 m2 garden. The space Groot Okhorst is a monumental farmhouse located in the old agrarian landscape of Hackfort estate near Vorden. The earliest mention of the yard Ockhorst goes back to the year 1540. The current farmhouse was built in 1641 and expanded in 1847. In six years of hard work, we completely renovated the farm and provided a guest house with the most modern amenities. The guesthouse is located in the oldest part of the front house and consists of four levels connected by an open staircase. High open spaces and atmospheric color lighting create a special experience in the volume and construction of the farm. In the bedrooms on the floor, you'll sleep under the centuries-old trace hood of hand-painted oak beams formed to the tree from which they were crafted. In some wooden parts, hand-filled nails and construction tracks of applications are visible in previous structures. The upstairs room, which was used in the past as a lovely room where the residents stayed on Sundays or received a visit, received a suitable new destination as a dining and living room for our guests. From the sofa you have a view of the nearby forests of Natuurmonumenten and a wide meadow landscape where you can spot deer and small wildlife at dusk. The guest house has a kitchen with cooking island and a spacious bathroom with rain shower, bath and infrared sauna. Underfloor heating and cooling provide a pleasant indoor climate throughout the year. In colder seasons, you can enjoy the atmospheric warmth and flames of a wood-burning stove. Of course there is WiFi, but there is also the possibility to watch movies via Netflix and Apple TV. Our guests have a flowery garden with an area of about 1000 square meters. In the adjacent meadow, donkey Pino and shetland pony Henrik keep your group. Guest access The guesthouse has its own access and its own driveway and garden. Our private driveway and garden are located at the other side of the house so you are assured of good privacy. Other things to note Due to the height differences, the accommodation is not optimally safe for small children (for example, we do not have stair gates). The accommodation is also unsuitable for people with difficulty walking. One of the double beds has a length of 1.90 meters. The apartment can be booked from September 2015. We are in the start-up phase and because we still have to learn a lot ourselves, we currently offer a reduced rate. More photos of the interior will follow soon!
