Nature and surroundings
The Drents-Friese Wold National Park is one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. In 2000, over 6000 hectares of forest, heathland, shifting sands and stream valley grasslands were designated as National Park. The Drents-Friese Wold belongs to the most beautiful and important nature reserves of Europe and is therefore designated as Natura2000 area. There are many walking and cycling routes around the vacation home. By bike you can reach places like Diever, Vledder, Appelscha and Noordwolde in about 30-45 minutes. One place of interest is the hiding place from the Second World War. The Shakespeare open-air theater in Diever is also easily accessible from the cottage.

The cottage is in excellent condition and especially with two people there is plenty of room. We slept well, what do you want with all that silence. The location of the bathroom / toilet is special, but for us no problem. Kitchenware is more than enough. The furnishing of the living room looks a bit old-fashioned, but is okay. We had beautiful weather, but even in less weather, you can get by in the cottage. In short, it was a great week!
Het huisje is in prima staat en zeker met z’n tweeën is er ruimte genoeg.
We hebben goed geslapen, wat wil je met al die stilte.
De plek van de badkamer/wc is bijzonder, maar voor ons geen probleem.
Keukengerei is er meer dan voldoende.
De inrichting van de woonkamer oogt wat oubollig, maar is okee.
Wij hadden prachtig weer, maar ook bij minder weer, kan je in het huisje goed uit de voeten.
Kortom, het was een fijne week!We found this a very nice nature house. Because of its location, with lots of space around the cottage and all the greenery, there was optimal peace, or you must not like birds!
Wij vonden dit een heel fijn natuurhuisje. Door de ligging, met veel ruimte om het huisje heen en al het groen, was er optimale rust, of je moet niet van vogels houden!

Fine house, well equipped kitchen, we had a very nice week there.
Fijn huis, goed uitgeruste keuken, we hebben er een heel fijne week gehad.
The cottage is beautifully situated in the forest, on all sides you have a green view. It is quiet and squirrels you can see running through the garden.
Het huisje ligt prachtig in het bos, aan alle kanten heb je een groen uitzicht. Het is er rustig en eekhoorntjes kun je door de tuin zien rennen.

only the bathroom left something to be desired. Otherwise, it was a 10.
alleen de badkamer liet enigszins te wensen over. Anders was het een 10.
the cottage was nicely furnished. Everything was there. Good beds. Good heating. Beautiful area for biking and hiking. Only the bathroom/WC was on the small side. But that was not a problem for us.
het huisje was mooi ingericht. Alles was aanwezig. Prima bedden. Goede verwarming. Prachtige omgeving om te fietsen en te wandelen. Alleen de badkamer/WC was aan de kleine kant. Maar dat was voor ons geen probleem.
