About this property
Modern Forest Retreat in Bergen
Step into a piece of Bergen’s creative heritage at this unique family-friendly retreat nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street. Once the studio of renowned Dutch painter David Kouwenaar, this beautifully renovated holiday home welcomes up to 4 guests with warmth, style, and comfort—all on one level. High windows flood the space with natural light, while underfloor heating keeps it cozy year-round. With two spacious bedrooms and a bright open living area, it’s perfect for families, couples, or friends seeking a tranquil escape.
Located just minutes from the charming center of Bergen and bordering the lush Bergerbos forest, the home offers easy access to scenic walking and cycling routes. Borrow the bikes on-site and pedal through leafy paths straight to the beach in just 10 minutes. Pets are welcome too—treat your furry friend to off-leash play in nearby forests or dog-friendly beach areas along the coast.
Enjoy breakfast in the sun-drenched garden, then head to Bergen's village center for boutique shopping and delightful eateries. Savor fresh seafood, Dutch pancakes, or a cozy dinner at local favorites like Fabels or Het Huis Met De Pilaren. After a day of adventure, return to your peaceful haven and unwind on the private terrace surrounded by nature.
