In a quiet area in the hamlet of Cottessen, between Epen and Vijlen, you’ll find this centuries-old half-timbered farmhouse along a sunken road. The home’s owners converted this property in 2020 into two four-person holiday homes – ‘t Boerenhuis and De Loft – while retaining its period character. The right-hand side of the property has been transformed into the four-person holiday home Het Gele Huis - ‘t Boerenhuis, which was formerly a private residence. Inside ‘t Boerenhuis you can feel the unique ambiance of an authentic half-timbered house while, outside, you can relax in the beautiful garden or set off along the footpaths that you can join from the driveway. It’s a true gem in Limburg!
Indoors
As soon as you step inside house number 4A, you enter a small hallway where there is a separate toilet. From the hallway you have direct access to the dining room. This incredibly cosy room has a wood burner to help you get warm again while you relax in one of the armchairs after a long walk. From the dining room you can walk through to the sitting room where there is a well-stocked bookcase that is available for your use. Enjoy a few drinks together or watch TV while relaxing on the sofa and love seat. From the dining room, you can also walk through to the spacious kitchen which offers a complete kitchen inventory as well as a Nespresso machine.
Climb the stairs to reach a spacious landing with a large linen cupboard. On this floor are two bedrooms that sleep two people each, both offering a spectacular view. The large-sized bathroom has a rain shower, washbasin, and toilet. A camping cot and high chair are also available in the property. The camping cot can be set up in the large bedroom or on the spacious landing.
Outdoors
At the side of 't Boerenhuis is a private patio with a table that can sit four people and a lounge sofa. Around Het Gele Huis is a large communal garden that ’t Boerenhuis and De Loft both share. The garden is large enough to enjoy with your own group in peace and quiet. There is a fruit orchard where you may pick your own apples, pears, or plums when in season. For children, there is a large trampoline to play on. If you want to enjoy a meal al fresco or enjoy some relaxation time, you can make use of the picnic tables and lounge chairs.
Want to come with more people?
Adjacent to ‘t Boerenhuis is the holiday home De Loft. Het Gele Huis can be rented in its entirety for groups of up to eight people. You will then have the use of two four-person homes, without a connecting door, but with the possibility of dining together as a group of eight in De Loft or in the garden. This means that you can go on holiday together and enjoy one another’s company while still retaining some privacy.
