For the quietest stay, the smallest homes in a natural setting suit best. The calmest single option is Wellness, a chalet for just 2 guests set in the forest at Resort De Hooge Veluwe (Schaarsbergen, near Arnhem). Couples who want wellness on site will also like it: Wellness has a sauna and a hot tub. For small groups, the tiny houses Tiny Cube and Forest Cube (both 4 guests, same resort) are secluded, wood-heated cabins, while Ayla (4 guests) is a detached forest chalet at the same resort. If you want a step-free home away from the resort, Family Wellness near Zwolle is single-storey and the only home with self check-in. The best fit depends on your group size and the facilities you want.
Quietest homes by group size
Smaller homes generally mean fewer people and a calmer setting. Here are the more secluded options, from smallest to largest:
- Wellness — 2 guests, 1 bedroom. A stylish wellness chalet at Resort De Hooge Veluwe (Schaarsbergen, near Arnhem), ideal for couples. Single-storey.
- Ayla — 4 guests, 2 bedrooms. A modern detached chalet in the middle of the forest at Resort De Hooge Veluwe.
- Tiny Cube — 4 guests, 2 bedrooms. A tiny house at Resort De Hooge Veluwe with a pellet stove inside.
- Forest Cube — 4 guests, 2 bedrooms. A tiny house at Resort De Hooge Veluwe with a pellet stove inside, the same concept as Tiny Cube.
- Family Wellness — 5 guests, 2 bedrooms. A wellness chalet in Hattemerbroek, near Zwolle, with a large garden and terrace.
- Family L-Cube — 6 guests, 3 bedrooms. A house at Resort De Hooge Veluwe with an extensive private garden.
The three larger homes in the Czech Krkonoše mountains — Celine, Marianne and Elizabeth (each 8 guests) — are freestanding on spacious private grounds, so they are also peaceful, just better suited to bigger groups.
Across every Maridu home, parties and gatherings are not allowed, occupancy is limited to the number of booked guests, and smoking indoors is not permitted. These house rules help keep every stay calm regardless of the home you choose.
Wellness facilities that support a restful stay
A sauna or hot tub can make a quiet break feel more restorative. Here is exactly where each is available among the quieter homes above:
- Sauna: available at Wellness, Family Wellness and Family L-Cube. Not available at Ayla, Tiny Cube or Forest Cube.
- Hot tub: available at Wellness, Family Wellness, Ayla, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube (the Tiny Cube and Forest Cube hot tubs are shared and wood-fired). Not available at Family L-Cube.
- Resort swimming pool: included for all the Veluwe homes — Ayla, Tiny Cube, Forest Cube, Wellness and Family L-Cube — and at Family Wellness. Not available at the Czech homes.
Wellness and Family Wellness are the only two homes with a sauna and a hot tub together, so they are the strongest picks if on-site wellness is your priority.
Accessibility and check-in
Two details often matter for a relaxed arrival: whether the home is on one level, and how you get the keys.
- Single-storey (step-free): Family Wellness and Wellness. All other homes have stairs; Tiny Cube and Forest Cube have a sleeping loft.
- Self check-in: only Family Wellness offers contactless self check-in. At every other home you are welcomed in person and receive the keys from the host.
- Check-in and check-out: the same across all homes — check in 15:00–23:00, check out by 10:00, minimum stay 2 nights.
Good to check before you book
A few things vary per home, so confirm them on the accommodation page that matters most to you:
- Pets: allowed at every home except Elizabeth, always with written approval in advance. The pet fee is €35 at Ayla, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube, €39 at Wellness, €49 at Family L-Cube, €60 at Family Wellness, and €70 at Marianne.
- Capacity: ranges from 2 guests (Wellness) up to 8 (the Czech homes), so pick the size that matches your group.
- A cot or high chair for young children: availability varies by home and booking, so confirm this on the listing page.
