This nature house is a detached vacation home (built by my grandfather in 1956) and is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld National Park, which features 4,000 hectares of forest, heathland, and shifting sand dunes. The cottage is located just over 2 kilometers from Dwingeloo: the greenest village in the Netherlands and Europe. It’s ideal for cyclists, hikers, those seeking peace and quiet, and families with children. The nature house sleeps six and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cottage also features a spacious living room with a sunny sunroom and a beautiful view of the countryside. You’ll also find a well-stocked bookshelf, games, puzzles, music, and DVDs. There are six bicycles available for you to use on beautiful bike rides across the heath and through the Dwingelderveld. Weekends and midweek stays are available upon request. The Dwingelderveld has been named the quietest area in the province of Drenthe by “Vroege Vogels,” featuring all kinds of wonderful sounds of nature.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld National Park (4,000 hectares). It’s a stunning area, featuring gently rolling heathlands dotted with ponds and small marshes, forests, and shifting sand dunes. In the surrounding picturesque villages, such as Ruinen and Dwingeloo, the cultural history of a century ago is still tangibly present. Drenthe is the ultimate cycling province. You’ll find countless marked cycling and hiking trails that take you to the most beautiful spots in the area. As you explore the province, you’ll learn about its stories and history (including Camp Westerbork, the hunebeds, cultural heritage, and the peatlands) and discover the authentic villages of Drenthe, with their often picturesque village greens. And Dwingeloo has the most beautiful village green in Drenthe. Across from the cottage is a lovely playground with a ping-pong table, swings, a sandbox, a zip line, a small soccer field, and all kinds of bikes and toy cars—making it ideal for a vacation with children.

The cottage is fully equipped and has a lovely view out the back, with a large garden and a wide field beyond it. We really enjoyed our stay there in that regard.
Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en heeft een fijn uitzicht aan de achterkant met een grote tuin en breed veld daarachter. We hebben het daar wat dat betreft prima naar ons zin gehad.
Although the cottage isn’t exactly surrounded by nature—it’s part of a row of detached homes on the outskirts of Dwingeloo and Lhee—and there’s a children’s playground across the street, nature is just around the corner, and you can go for walks to your heart’s content, bike, and enjoy a varied landscape to your heart’s content.
Hoewel het huisje niet echt helemaal in de natuur ligt - het staat in een rijtje losstaande woningen aan de rand van Dwingeloo en Lhee - en ertegenover een kinderspeelplaats is, is de natuur bijna om de hoek en kan je naar hartenlust wandelen, fietsen en genieten van een afwisselend landschap.

It was very warm, especially upstairs, so it was really hot.
Het was heel warm , vooral boven daardoor heel heet.
The Leda cottage is located close to the road, so it’s not as quiet.
The view from the back is unobstructed and pleasant.
There are some nice walking trails just a short distance away.Huisje Leda ligt vlak bij de weg, waardoor het minder stil is.
Achter uitzicht vrij en prettig.
Lopend zijn mooie wandelingen net even verder wegThis text is automatically translated. -

Lovely cottage with nice beds. The playground opposite the cottage was fun beyond expectations for the kids. The cottage is complete, did not miss anything. The bikes, the garden, the deer and the birds it was all very nice!
Heerlijk huisje met lekkere bedden. De speeltuin tegenover het huisje was boven verwachting leuk voor de kinderen. Het huisje is compleet, hebben niets gemist. De fietsen, de tuin, de reetjes en de vogels het was allemaal heel fijn!
For us, the cottage was top notch! It is not in the middle of nature, but nature is super quick to reach and accessible. Thus, the Dwingelderveld with the sheepfold is super close. We experienced peace with wonderful views and every evening deer in the field.
Voor ons was het huisje top! Het is niet midden in de natuur, maar de natuur is wel super snel bereikbaar en toegankelijk. Zo is het Dwingelderveld met de schaapskooi super dichtbij. We hebben rust ervaren met heerlijk uitzicht en elke avond reetjes in het veld.
