Nature house in Wyns
Friesland, Netherlands
- 3 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
A beautifully situated, self-sufficient (off-the-grid), detached miller’s cottage in the heart of the Wynserpolder nature reserve in Friesland. A unique place. The nature house is about an eight-minute walk through the meadow (no paved path); ideal for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle, birdwatchers, nature lovers, and/or writers. Go “back to basics” and enjoy the birds (including birds of prey), deer, hares, cows, storks, and swans right in your backyard. Just a 15-minute drive from Leeuwarden. The nature house is ideal for two people, though one additional person may stay as well. Large, wild garden (a food forest in the making). A miniature nature reserve, a paradise for dragonflies, birds, bees, and insects. Humans are just guests here, so don’t expect raked paths! The bathroom is separate from the cottage. It contains the shower and the dry toilet. Urine and feces are collected separately. There is plenty of (solar) power to charge devices.
Nature and surroundings
The Wynserpolder is a bird breeding area managed by Staatsbosbeheer, where various meadow birds nest in the spring—lapwings, black-tailed godwits, and redshanks—but where you can also spot other birds. Storks strut confidently through the meadows surrounding the cottage, while birds of prey such as buzzards, kestrels, and harriers circle overhead. The cottage is situated right in the middle of this nature reserve.

A unique experience—it shows you that you can get by with less. We'd love to come back after it's been renovated.
Bijzondere belevenis, het laat je zien dat het ook met minder kan. We komen graag na een opknapbeurt.
A little miller's cottage right in the middle of the meadows of the Frisian Wyns. Veeeery basic, veeeery peaceful, and with sweeping views. Cows in the meadows, hares, buzzards, and above all, loooads of greenery.
Een molenaarswoninkje midden op de weilanden van de Friese Wyns. Heeeel basics, heeeel veel rust en weidse vergezichten. Koeien op de weiden, hazen, buizerds en vooral veeeeeel groen.

Plenty of peace and quiet, space, and privacy!
Veel rust, ruimte en privacy!
We had a wonderful time, enjoying the garden and the peace and quiet! Our dog had a fantastic time and would have loved to stay much, much longer. We slept very well (comfortable bed with the option of a mosquito net), and we highly recommend the De Winze café in the village.
We hebben heerlijke dagen gehad, genoten van de tuin en de rust! Onze hond heeft een superfijne tijd gehad en had nog veeeeel langer willen blijven. We hebben erg goed geslapen (lekker bed met optie van een klamboe) en eetcafe De Winze in het dorp is een aanrader.

The three of us enjoyed our stay at the house and will definitely be back.
There’s a large garden perfect for relaxing, playing, and watching the local wildlife. Seclusion and tranquility—it couldn’t have been better for us.
