Pets not allowed
Wake up to the sound of birds and walk straight from the cottage into the Reijntjesveld. At night, it’s truly dark, and the Milky Way appears as a broad, luminous band across the sky. Surrounding the cottage is a wild garden offering plenty of privacy and a covered patio. Whether by bike or on foot, you can explore in any direction here and will never run out of things to see. A fire pit is provided, so you can sit outside by your own fire in the evening. The nature house is separated from the neighbors’ cottages by a spacious green belt. And on the garden side (south), the forest is your neighbor. You can order additional bed and bath linens and extra firewood on-site if needed. For departures on Sunday (following a weekend stay), check-out time is 4:00 PM instead of 11:00 AM.
Nature and surroundings
By Drenthe standards, the Reijntjesbos is quite hilly, featuring deciduous and pine forests, marshes, and open sandy areas. It’s a wonderful forest for a short daily walk or run. Three kilometers away is the center of Westerbork, with many shops and restaurants, and two kilometers away—if you cross the Reijntjesveld—you’ll find the museum village of Orvelte. There are beautiful bike routes in every direction, such as toward Mantinge with its lovely juniper forests and heathlands. Near Schoonloo, there’s a lovely swimming lake with a wide sandy beach right in the middle of the forest. Nearby cities: Assen and Emmen. Wildlife around the cottage: roe deer, badgers, squirrels, and various bird species, such as the cuckoo, golden oriole, green woodpecker, black woodpecker, hawfinch, and goldfinch. The shepherd of Orvelte regularly walks his flock right past the cottage, across the field, and through the woods. The photos of the surroundings on the website were taken within a radius of 800 meters from the cottage.

Wonderfully free
Heerlijk vrij
Quietly situated in a small park on the edge of a nature reserve, within walking distance of Orvelte. Spacious natural garden with a place to build a fire. Friendly and helpful host.

Beautifully located house, well equipped, pleasantly received and fine contact with the landlord. With the added luxury of a newspaper to read at the garden table with the birds around you.
Mooi gelegen huis, goed geoutilleerd, prettig ontvangen en fijn contact met de verhuurder. Met nog de extra luxe van een krantje om te lezen aan de tuintafel met de vogels om je heen.
What a top spot, rightfully a cottage in the middle of nature, you won't find better.
Wat een topplek, met recht een huisje midden in de natuur, beter vind je het niet.

Snugly furnished, a basic supply of food, sunburn, tape or whatever you might need. Good beds, too.
Knus ingericht, een basisvoorraad van levensmiddelen, zonnebrand, plakband of wat je ook maar nodig zou kunnen hebben. Ook goede bedden.
Lovely garden, with a few seating options; a nice sun or shade spot to be found at any hour of the day. Very many bird sounds heard; almost no sounds heard from others in the small park. There is a very nice field (part of the Drenthe Trail) less than 200 meters away.
Heerlijke tuin, met een paar zitmogelijkheden; op elk uur van de dag een fijne zon-of schaduwplek te vinden. Erg veel vogelgeluiden gehoord; vrijwel geen geluiden gehoord van andere aanwezigen in het kleine park. Er is een heel mooi veldje (deel van het Drenthepad) op nog geen 200 meter.
