Nature and surroundings

Welcome to the beautiful Reestdal! The Reestdal consists of quaint, centuries-old hamlets nestled in the stunning Dutch countryside. The Reestdal offers plenty of opportunities for lovely bike rides and hikes. There’s also a fantastic mountain bike trail nearby. The Overijssels Landschap visitor center, De Wheem, is three kilometers away. Be sure to visit towns and villages such as Giethoorn, Zwolle, Dalfsen, Ommen, Meppel, Echten, Staphorst, and Hoogeveen. There are areas where dogs can run free in the Staphorsterbos. You can spot rare birds on the grounds, and there’s a frog pond at the far end of the property. From the terrace, you can spot hares and roe deer. Just one kilometer away, you’ll find heathlands on one side and the Staphorsterbos on the other (which you’ll look out over). Slagharen Amusement Park is a 20-minute drive from the house. This is a unique spot for hikers, runners, cyclists, and nature lovers.

    The cottage was spacious, clean, and fully equipped. The beds were very comfortable in every room.
    One small suggestion would be to install window screens on the windows in the living room and kitchen; they were already installed in the bedrooms.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A wonderfully comfortable and luxurious vacation home in a stunning rural setting. Plenty of privacy and peace and quiet. We also enjoyed the animals on the property—the donkeys, Scottish Highland cattle, chickens, and cats.
    Very hospitable and friendly owners.

    It's too bad the owners weren't there themselves, so we didn't get to meet them.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is cozy and fully furnished. The beds are comfortable, and it’s dark and quiet at night, so we slept well. The porch is a great place to relax. It’s great that a section of the yard has been fenced off for the dog so he can move around freely there. We really enjoyed seeing the chickens in the yard and the Scottish Highland cattle and donkeys in the pasture.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
