We really enjoyed our home exchange with Henriette and Marianne in the summer of 2023. Although the weather was a bit mixed at the time, we did something every day. For example, there are many restaurants with great playgrounds for children in the area. We also visited the cities of Amsterdam, Deventer, Zwolle and Apeldoorn, some of them several times, and had a look at museums, markets and the historic old town. The rural area also invites you to go for long walks or hikes, especially in the nearby heaths, which are in bloom in August. Of course, you can also ride the hosts' e-bikes in this area. The house is very well maintained and absolutely clean, just like the beautiful garden that belongs to the house. I personally liked the view from the cooking and dining area into the garden with a view of a meadow. The super fast internet is certainly something that sweetened our stay here. Communication with Henriette and Marianne was also always very quick and super-friendly. We can highly recommend this home exchange and enjoyed it to the fullest.

We had a most enjoyable 2 weeks in or Home from Home in Heeten, it was the perfect central location to explore Hollands beautiful Towns and Villages all with their own personalities.Joan and I always enjoy travelling over the horizon to experience, see and eat what is going on over there. Our daily trips took us North, South, East, and West. Space won't allow us to tell you everything but here are the main places, that we loved. (N) Raalte, Dalfsen, Zwolle, Lemmer, Urk, (S) Deventer, Zutphen, Gorssel, Apeldoorn, Arnhem WW2 Cemetery, Doesberg, Geersberg, (E) Holten, Holterburg WW2 Cemetery, Salland National Park, Hengelo,(W) Harlem, Zanzvoort Town, Beach and Grand Prix Circuit and the Corenden Hotel at Schiphol with Jumbo 747 on the lawn where we spent our last night. We were blessed with the best weather Holland has ever experienced in June.The beautiful garden was the perfect place to relax and enjoy or evening drinks. Henriette and Marianne's home was spotless and shining and our home was identical on our return.It was a memorable exchange. Big Thanks, Denis and Joan.

Het huis van Henriette en Marianne wat in het lieflijke dorp Heeten ligt is ruim, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het uitzicht door de glazen pui met zicht op de tuin en daarachter de landerijen is prachtig!! De omgeving is landelijk, rustig en weids, met prachtige vergezichten, (roof)vogels. De Sallandse Heuvelrug is een bijzonder bosrijk, heuvelachtig gebied dat op een 7 km. afstand ligt. Als je van de natuur en de rust houdt kun je hier een heerlijke vakantie beleven. Wij hebben veel gefietst en gewandeld, je kunt alle kanten op. Daarbij komt dat we een open contact hadden met elkaar wat erg prettig was. We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad! Dank jullie voor jullie gastvrijheid, Marianne en Henriette!
