Holiday homes in Winterswijk with a private sauna
Nine characterful holiday homes in Winterswijk, let privately. You book directly with us, with no agency in between.
We know exactly what is on
We live here ourselves and keep track of the Winterswijk agenda. Before and during your stay we tip you personally: which route is at its best this season, what can be spotted in nature right now, and which events are on during the days you are here.
See what is on right nowOur vacation homes
Every home has its own private sauna and your dog is welcome in five of the nine. The difference is the setting: our three homes on the Jonkersweg sit on a small-scale holiday park, close to the Hilgelo lake, while our homes on the Kattenberg sit right in the middle of the woods.
By the Hilgelo lake: Jonkersweg, Den Möllenhof
Three homes side by side on the Den Möllenhof holiday park in Winterswijk Meddo, a few minutes from the Hilgelo lake with its little beach and walking paths. All three sleep six and have their own sauna.

What guests say
“Spacious, comfortable holiday home in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Everything we needed was there. A fenced garden, so our dog could roam freely.”
“Super home, 5 stars. We have been coming for years. Great location, very quiet, everything within cycling distance and the Hilgelo beach within walking distance.”
“Lovely weather, beautiful surroundings, but above all a really cosy house, with a huge garden and privacy. Everyone slept wonderfully in the comfortable beds, and the duvets were a hit too!”

Things to do nearby
Winterswijk is the beating heart of the Achterhoek National Landscape. Here is what waits just outside your door.
Cycling & walking
Thousands of kilometres of signposted routes through hedgerow landscape, along streams and old farms. Route maps are ready in the house.
Wildlife spotting
Deer, badgers, kingfishers and little owls. Each season we share what can be spotted right now and where.
Events
Regional markets, music, the Zwarte Cross festival and Winterswijk’s summer programme. We tip you off about what is on during your stay.
Village & culture
The cosy centre of Winterswijk with terraces, the quarry open-air theatre and museums a short hop away.
A selection from the Winterswijk agenda. Ask us for the current agenda for your arrival date: we know what is on that week and what is worth your time.
Wild Kiek’n wildlife safari
Head into the fields with a guide to spot deer, badgers and birds. A favourite with guests bringing children.
Zwarte Cross festival
The biggest festival in the Achterhoek, a short drive away in Lichtenvoorde. Music, motocross and local madness, four days long.
Hesselink vineyard: tour & tasting
Yes, they really do make wine here. A tour of the vineyard followed by a tasting.
Flamingos at the Zwillbrocker Venn
Around 15 km away, the Zwillbrocker Venn is known for its flamingo colony. Sightings depend on the season. Check the reserve’s current information before visiting, or ask us for tips.

Mushrooms
In October the woods around Winterswijk are full of mushrooms, on old stumps and among the leaves. Look all you like, but leave them be: many species are poisonous.
Mist over the meadows
Up early? On clear autumn mornings the mist hangs low over the meadows and the sun rises through it like an orange ball.
The park in autumn
Birches, red gables and a lane full of leaves. Every season gives the park a different face.
Eagle owl in the quarry
A pair of eagle owls, Europe’s largest owl, has been breeding in the quarry for years. Here the female sweeps past the rock face while the young look on.

Mother and chick
From the viewing point the nest is easy to spot with binoculars. In spring the chicks sit out on the ledge during the day.

On guard at the nest
Keep your distance and stay quiet and they will simply stay put. Binoculars matter more here than a long lens.

Robin
In the garden and along the hedges all year round, and curious enough to perch right next to you.
Red squirrel
Red squirrels are regulars on the park. Leave an apple out and there is a good chance one drops by.
Flamingos
Around 15 km away, the Zwillbrocker Venn is known for its flamingo colony. Sightings depend on the season. Check the reserve’s current information before visiting, or ask us for tips.
By the water
Benches along the waterside within walking distance of the park. In early spring you often have them entirely to yourself.
Right outside the door
You do not have to walk far for it. Most of it simply comes to the terrace.
No bikes of your own? In Winterswijk you can easily rent a city bike, e-bike, tandem or fatbike. Several rental shops bring the bikes to the house and collect them there again. We arrange the reservation or explain exactly where and how, so you can head out first thing.
Ask about bike rental
Your horse simply comes along
Bring your own horse or pony. The Den Möllenhof holiday park, where our Jonkersweg homes stand, has stables and pastures, we care for your horse, and the sand tracks start at the door.
