Sailing Walk the dog Bird watching Cycling Hiking

Beautifully located self-sufficient, detached miller's cottage in the middle of the Frisian nature reserve Wynserpolder. A unique place. The nature house is about an eight-minute walk through the meadow (no paved path); ideal for de-stressers, birdwatchers, nature lovers and/or writers. Go "back-to basics" and enjoy the (predatory) birds, deer, hares, cows, storks and swans in the backyard. Fifteen minutes from Leeuwarden. The nature house is ideal for two people, if necessary 1 extra person can come along. Large, wild garden (food forest in the making). A nature reserve in miniature, a haven for dragonflies, birds, bees and insects. Man is a guest there, so don't expect raked paths! The bathroom is separate from the cottage. There you will find the shower and dry toilet. Urine and feces are collected separately. There is sufficient (solar) power for charging devices.

Nature and surroundings

The Wynserpolder is a bird breeding area of the Forestry Commission, where various meadow birds nest in the spring: lapwings, black-tailed godwits and redshanks, but where you will also discover other birds. Storks walk jauntily in the meadows around the cottage, birds of prey like buzzards, kestrels and harriers circle in the area. The cottage is in the middle of this nature reserve.

    After a makeover, we'll definitely be back

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We were here on the hottest day of 2026. It was quite comfortable inside. Unfortunately, we couldn’t open the windows in the evening because the screens weren’t working properly. There were a lot of bugs. Within five minutes, the dogs had figured out how to escape from the garden. It’s a shame they had to stay inside because of that. In our opinion, the cottage could use some renovations. The front door lock didn’t work properly, so we got locked out once (though we were able to fix it ourselves with some tools).
    The garden is a bit overgrown, so you don’t have a view when you’re sitting inside or on the patio.
    You can, however, enjoy the nature all around you.

    The house itself has a very rustic decor, but it has everything you need, and the owner is very attentive and quick to address any questions or concerns.
    There are many beautiful places to explore by bike in the surrounding area (Frisian villages, farm cafés, Leeuwarden, etc.). If you’re traveling with a dog, however, you should be careful which bike paths you choose, as some lead through pastures where the paths are frequently blocked by fences that are difficult for a dog to get over.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The house is situated in the middle of large pastures and is surrounded by trees and bushes, making it hidden from view and offering plenty of peace and seclusion to enjoy nature. Even in the fenced-in, natural garden, you’ll encounter all kinds of animals. Ducks nest on the property, and hares and stoats run across the meadow. There are many different spots around the house where you can enjoy the sun and the peace and quiet and watch the birds. But there are also plenty of shaded areas.
    That said, there’s also an air force base nearby, and you can hear jet planes 2–3 times a day. However, this is relatively brief and doesn’t happen before 9:00 a.m., after 4:00 p.m., or on weekends. The surrounding meadows are also farmed and are mowed and fertilized by the farmers—but that didn’t bother us.

    It's basic, but there is an electric cooler, a simple camping toilet, a shower, and a wood stove. Drinking water is provided in large jerry cans.

    A simple cottage near a windmill, surrounded by meadow birds, hares, and cows. Enjoy a peaceful moment in the sunshine or visit charming Frisian villages like Wyns and Bartlehiem. Dokkum and Leeuwarden aren’t far either! We’ll be back!
