Thatched Waterside Escape
Set beside a serene pond, this charming thatched chalet offers a peaceful retreat with a veranda that seems to float above the water. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable living room with a flatscreen smart TV, and a fully equipped kitchen with cooker, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer. The two bedrooms—one with a double bed, the other with two singles—provide restful stays, complemented by a modern bathroom with shower and toilet. Added conveniences include Wi-Fi, a washer, and dryer.
Explore Nature and Culture
From your doorstep, the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park invites you to explore rolling heaths, forests, and panoramic cycling routes. The region also offers lakes for summer outings, well-kept golf courses, and scenic hiking trails through Twente’s countryside. Day trips to nearby towns such as Deventer or Zutphen reveal historic streets, cultural landmarks, and inviting markets.
Dining and Nearby Life
After a day of exploring, enjoy dining in Markelo’s restaurants, where Dutch classics and international dishes are served in welcoming settings. Local bakeries and weekly markets provide fresh regional specialties, while shops and supermarkets are just a short drive away for daily needs. Excellent road connections make it simple to reach nearby towns for shopping, dining, or sightseeing, before returning to the comfort of your waterside veranda for a tranquil evening.

Arrival/Location
Location and surroundings of object
The Hessenheem holiday park offers a small taste of what makes the area so famous; peace and nature. In a separate area, on the edge of the Markelose forests and in the extension of the Buitencentrum Hessenheem, the accommodations are playfully situated among the beautiful trees. A beautifully landscaped stream, with romantic bridges, manoeuvres itself through the holiday park past the luxury chalets.
Although Vakantiepark Hessenheem is characterized by its tranquility, you can use the facilities that the adjacent Buitencentrum has to offer. On beautiful summer days you can, for example, take a dip in the swimming pool and have a bite to eat at Buur & Buuf, a famous local eatery.
The pleasant village of Markelo is around 2.5 km away. and has nice shops, a few museums and pleasant terraces to offer. Nature lovers have found their place here. De Borkeld nature reserve and the Sallandse Heuvelrug are both within cycling distance and offer countless beautiful walking and cycling routes. If you did not bring your own bicycles, you can rent them at the holiday park. The city of Deventer (approx. 30 km.) has a rich history and a lively centre with many sights.
Hessenheem Holiday Park is a wonderful base from which to discover beautiful Twente.

This chalet is a fantastic choice for nature lovers. We enjoyed birdwatching from the terrace and the proximity to Elsenervoorveld for walks. It was truly a great stay.
