Nature and surroundings
The Reest valley lies on the border of Overijssel and Drenthe. The Reest forms the provincial border. The little river meanders through a picturesque, unspoiled landscape, a unique and protected area, escaping land consolidation. Grain fields, hay fields in a coulisse landscape, woods and heath give you the feeling of being in earlier times. Winding country roads lead past centuries-old farms. The landscapes on both sides of the Reest fall largely under the Drents Landschap and Landschap Overijssel, both of which have visitor centers. Through the landscape runs a network of hiking and biking trails, extending to the Staphorsterbos, a large contiguous forest area with heath and fens. Bicycle routes connect to the forests of Ommen and Lemelerberg. Culture, art and good cuisine can be found in Kasteelhotel-restaurant De Havixhorst with sculpture garden. In the immediate vicinity, including restaurant Kiewiet in Dedemsvaart and within walking distance brasserie De Boerderij.

The cottage was very spacious, well furnished and clean. Everything was present in the cottage and nice landlord. In addition, it was special to see different works in the adjacent studio.
Het huisje was erg ruim, goed ingericht en schoon. Alles was aanwezig in het huisje en aardige verhuurder. Daarnaast was het bijzonder om in het aangrenzende atelier verschillende werken te bekijken.
The setting was beautiful, in the middle of nature with beautiful views. And what peace and quiet! We enjoyed it.
De omgeving was prachtig, midden in de natuur met prachtig uitzicht. En wat een rust! We hebben ervan genoten.

Beautiful apartment with a pleasant terrace and excellent amenities. We were very kindly received. We had our baby daughter with us, which fortunately was not a problem for the hosts. It was nicely communicated in advance that there are no amenities in the cottage for a baby. The apartment is spacious so there was enough room for the things we had brought ourselves (camp bed, play mat, bouncer etc.).
Mooi appartement met een prettig terras en prima voorzieningen. We werden erg vriendelijk ontvangen. We hadden onze babydochter bij ons, dat was gelukkig geen probleem voor de verhuurders. Er werd van tevoren netjes gecommuniceerd dat er in het huisje geen voorzieningen aanwezig zijn voor een baby. Het appartement is ruim opgezet dus er was genoeg plek voor de dingen die we zelf hadden meegenomen (campingbedje, speelkleed, wipstoel etc.).
The view is very nice, highly recommended to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee. The area feels spacious with lots of fresh air. We saw deer, hares and many species of birds. Right from the cottage we could walk, even with the stroller.
Het uitzicht is heel mooi, een aanrader om met een kopje koffie naar de zonsopkomst te kijken. De omgeving voelt ruimtelijk met veel frisse lucht. We hebben reeën gezien, hazen en veel soorten vogels. Direct vanaf het huisje konden we wandelen, zelfs met de kinderwagen.
