About the host
About us – The story behind Heerlijk Chalet
Hi, I’m Gerda. Together with my husband Omer and our three children, we live in Rotterdam, just over an hour from the Veluwe. As a family, we love spending time in nature. Stepping away from the busy city, breathing fresh air, walking through the forest and simply enjoying time together.
What started with one special place surrounded by greenery grew into two chalets that we care for with love and attention. Not as distant landlords, but as involved owners who truly want our guests to feel welcome and at home.
