For a riding trip near the Veluwe, five Holiday Homes Maridu properties sit together at Resort De Hooge Veluwe (Koningsweg 14, near Arnhem and Schaarsbergen): Ayla, Family L-Cube, Tiny Cube, Wellness and Forest Cube. A sixth home, Family Wellness, lies separately in Hattemerbroek near Zwolle. The best fit comes down to your group size, how much space and quiet you want, and whether you want a hot tub or sauna to recover after a day in the saddle. All six of these homes have a private garden and use of a swimming pool (the resort pool for the five Veluwe cubes; a pool at Family Wellness).
Choosing by group size
Group size is usually the first filter. Here is the exact capacity of each home in this region:
- Two guests: Wellness sleeps 2 (1 bedroom, 1 bathroom) and is the smallest option, ideal for a couple.
- Four guests: Ayla, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube each sleep 4, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
- Five guests: Family Wellness sleeps 5 (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom), though it sits in Hattemerbroek rather than at the resort.
- Six guests: Family L-Cube sleeps 6, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, useful when several riders share.
Family L-Cube is the largest of the homes at Resort De Hooge Veluwe. If your group is larger, check current options and combined capacity on the booking page.
Space, quiet and the tiny houses
Tiny Cube and Forest Cube are compact tiny houses set in the forest, which suits riders who mainly want a comfortable base to sleep and store gear. Both share the same concept: a loft bedroom, an indoor pellet stove and a Chromecast-equipped Smart TV. Note that neither has a washing machine or dishwasher. If you want more indoor room and separate bedrooms, Family L-Cube (3 bedrooms) or Ayla (a modern detached chalet in the woods) give you more space to spread out.
Recovery: hot tubs and saunas
After a long ride, a hot tub or sauna makes a real difference. Here is exactly what each home in this region offers:
- Hot tub available: Ayla, Wellness and Family Wellness (private), plus Tiny Cube and Forest Cube (shared, wood-fired). Not available: Family L-Cube.
- Sauna available: Wellness, Family L-Cube and Family Wellness. Not available: Ayla, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube.
- Both a private hot tub and a sauna: Wellness and Family Wellness. Wellness is a stylish couples’ chalet (new in 2021); Family Wellness is a family wellness chalet.
Travelling with a dog
All six homes in this region are pet-friendly, always after written approval in advance. A one-off pet fee applies and varies per home: Ayla, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube €35, Wellness €39, Family L-Cube €49, and Family Wellness €60.
Accessibility and check-in
If step-free access matters, Wellness and Family Wellness are single-level homes; the others have a loft or upper floor. Family Wellness is also the only home with contactless self check-in. At all other homes you are welcomed on arrival and receive the key from the host. Standard times are check-in 15:00 to 23:00 and check-out 10:00, with a minimum stay of 2 nights.
Good to check before you book
Bike or horse storage, secure parking and direct trail access are not listed in our information, so confirm these on the current accommodation page before you book. Parking is free at every home in this region. Because all five resort homes share the same address at Koningsweg 14, they are equally placed for Veluwe attractions and trails.
