General overview
For the summer holidays we are looking for an exchange between JULY 20 and AUGUST 11, 2024.
Several days to a week. (abroad)
We are also open to the occasional exchange during a WEEKEND.
We have a spacious corner house in the pleasant village of Borne (Overijssel - Twente) with a lovely garden and spacious veranda, where you can enjoy the sun early in the year.
There is also a small vegetable garden. This one would like some water in dry times :)
We also have 2 sweet chickens. (These also like to get some food and water every day)
We are happy to take our old dog with us, unless you are open to taking care of her.
Of course you can also take your dog with you during the exchange.
We live in a quiet, neat neighborhood and within a 100-meter walk you are in the countryside, where you can take beautiful walking/cycling trips.
Or how about a sporty canoe trip on the beautiful Bornse stream?
There are beautiful ponds, swimming pools and fun amusement parks nearby, 10-30 minutes away.
1.5 hours drive from Amsterdam and 15 minutes drive from Germany.
We also have a nice pimped caravan, so we can also arrange an exchange with that.
The space
House (165m2) with spacious, playfully laid out garden.
Living room, eat-in kitchen. 1 bedroom with shower. Office space, utility/laundry room on the ground floor.
2 bedrooms/bathroom 1st floor.

4 bedrooms: 1 spacious bedroom with 200x220 bed.

Don't hesitate to contact us. We will always answer, even if it is not what we are looking for.

Neighbourhood
Twente is known for its beautiful nature!
And since we live 100 meters away from this beautiful nature, this is perfect for beautiful walks, bike rides and canoe trips. And you don't have to go far for nice swimming water. Various swimming pools in the area, but also beautiful natural lakes nearby.
Larger cities are a 15-minute drive away (Enschede)
Several amusement parks within a 15-30 minute drive.
Nice museums and more...
On this website you will find everything there is to do in Twente. https://www.visittwente.nl
Getting to my home
Do you want to come by public transport? Let me know and we will figure out the best way for you to travel.
We have had a simultaneous exchange with Kristel and her family recently .That was an amazing experience.
I absolutely loved Kristel’s response time, kindness and helpfulness. She gave us so many wonderful tips about things happening around! To be honest, everyday we did something that she advised us 😃
The house is very comfortable, veranda is charming and chickens great entertainment.
The location itself couldn’t be better. Plenty of cycling paths, walking paths, farms with local products. Twente became my top favourite region in the Netherlands.
I strongly recommend exchanging with Kristel.
Thank you for great weekend!
Justyna
Glad you enjoyed it so much Justyna! Always welcome :)
Absolutely respectful. We wouldn’t notice that we had guests if it was not for the gifts that we found upon our return 🤭
The 6 of us spent a wonderful weekend at Justyna's house, while she, her husband and son were in our house.
This was such a great experience, the first exchange for us as well as for Justyna!
There was a delicious bottle of juice and something tasty for the dog (who was also allowed to come :) ) ready.
The house is located in a nice, quiet, green neighborhood and very close to Brussels, where we went by metro. The hustle and bustle of the city and then quietly 'home' again.
We could use everything we needed, so it was easy 'just like at home'.
Communication went smoothly. Justyna helped us think about which metro and P+R we could best take.
I hope that Justyna can have many more wonderful exchanges with her family. We definitely recommend her house!
Thank you so much for your feedback Kristel! It was a pleasure to have you here. Success with further exchanges.
When we returned we could not see that people had been in our house :)
It was very nice that we regularly received a nice photo. Chickens that received attention and the little man who waters the vegetable garden... It's nice that others can enjoy what you always enjoy.
Justyna..You are always welcome again, if you want to enjoy beautiful Twente again :)

The porch. You can also catch the early spring sun here. To enjoy!
The vegetable garden likes to get some water every day :)
Enjoy the garden or veranda.
There are plenty of walking routes in the area.
You can still see plenty of cows in Overijssel. It's also fun to take the children and take a look at the milking parlor in Deurningen, a pig farm or visit the chicken barn in Hertme, where you can pick up a box of fresh eggs.
Or you go to the beautiful, spacious swimming pool in Delden. (15 minutes).
But there are plenty of beautiful swimming pools in the area. Also across the border in Germany.
Walk along the streams, or take an exciting canoe trip!
Several mills in the area. Some to visit and view from the inside.
Twickel Castle. Beautiful bike ride or by car in 10 minutes.
100 meters behind our house. You walk straight into the great outdoors. Along streams, fens and through forest.
You're also in the right place here when it comes to amusement parks. In the area you will find De Waarbeek (15 minutes), Slagharen and Hellendoorn. But there is also no shortage of large mega playgrounds.
Old farms regularly have viewing days.
On a hot day you drive (15 minutes by car or 30 minutes by bike through the fields) to 't Hulsbeek. A large lake with swimming, playing and catering facilities.
Idyllic hiking trails, including in the Delden forest. (10 min car)
