Hermit - Sunny cottage at the Veluwe

Ginchalet Hermit is a beautiful cottage with a spacious living room. Ideal for two people. It is located on the quiet and neat Recreatiepark De Oude Driest in Krachtighuizen, 250m from the Veluwe forrest. The perfect base for cycling and walking tours.

There is a covered shed for your bicycles or to shelter from the sun. Of course we also have an outdoor seating area with parasol.

The chalet itself was renovated in 2021 with a new bathroom. A cozy and tastefully furnished chalet with all amenities for two people. Living room itself is quite spacious for such a small chalet. The small bedroom has a box spring of 160x200 and an open closet.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a combination oven/microwave, fridge/freezer, Senseo Switch coffee maker (pods and filter coffee) and a kettle.
