Hidden among trees and bushes, at the end of a private road, lies this nostalgic nature house. Here you will find true peace and quiet. The farmhouse itself is all atmosphere: wooden trusses, uneven floors, soapstone wood stove, loft and French doors to the terrace. You can light old-fashioned fires in the garden, with witches' kettle above it for tasty stews. The nature house and the place offer everything for a wonderful vacation with the family, with friends or as a couple. There are three bedrooms, with Auping beds for a total of five people. The living room is cozy and nice and warm. Here you will also find the television. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary appliances. For children there is a play corner. The soapstone wood stove provides plenty of warmth on cool days. To properly fire up the stove, you can use split and dried oak wood. For campfires outside, there is more than enough prunings around the cottage and in the forest.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located at the end of a private road, on a 4000 m² plot of land. Nature is your neighbor. You step out the door and walk away, along water or through forest. Two minutes' walk and you're at the swimming lake. If you get up early you have a chance to see deer in the back of the garden. To the left of the cottage, a farmer grows wheat and to the right, sugar beets grow. Right behind the farm runs a stream, where anglers regularly catch pike. On sunny days you can always find a nice spot around the farmhouse. Sit in the sun or seek shelter under the old beech tree. Your dog will also have a great time around the cottage. You can walk here without encountering any traffic. The garden is the place to picnic, cook and eat; barbecue and "dutch oven" are available. Two minutes by bike and you are in the middle of the mountain bike network of Westerwolde, with 200 kilometers of interconnected routes. Want culture or entertainment? Groningen is 40 minutes away.

    All in all, a charming little farmhouse where you really feel like you’re back in 1910. Everything you need is there. Comfortable beds and clean linens, towels, and the bathroom and toilet were also spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable.
    The garden is great fun for the kids, with a fire pit you can sit around.
    It’s really nice that there’s a piano.

    A few notes:
    * The floor is very uneven; you have to be careful not to trip or stumble
    * At night, mice run between the roof tiles and the insulation. This makes a scratching sound and scurrying right above your head. Because of this, I didn’t sleep well. You also shouldn’t be afraid of spiders and the like.
    * There’s a lot of cobwebs above eye level; that could be improved....
    * There are gaps between the insulation panels. Gunk comes out of them (probably from the mice)—it’s a bit gross.

    The cottage is situated in the middle of the countryside. It's very peaceful and beautiful.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A wonderfully charming and authentic cottage. We actually love that not everything is perfectly finished—it creates a sense of being at one with nature. The different spaces, both inside the cottage and in the garden, ensure that it never gets boring.
    Every spot attracts its own little creatures, and there’s always something to see—and yes, even the deer!
    My husband went fishing in the stream behind the cottage, while my wife and child went swimming in the lake, which is within walking distance. We also did a lot of biking; we rented the bikes from the local bike shop, and they were delivered and picked up without a hitch.
    We found the genuine peace and quiet that still exists here to be truly special.
    We highly recommend it—we definitely hope to come back here ourselves!

    The garden and the surrounding area were beautiful. We felt a sense of freedom and undisturbed peace throughout our entire stay. The cottage was cozy and decorated in a rustic style.
    Unfortunately, the photos on the website no longer reflect the cottage’s current condition at all.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The first impression was positive. But then we noticed the mess left by the previous guests, including empty wine bottles under the kitchen counter. Yellow-stained and worn-out mattresses, a moldy shower curtain, moldy silicone seals, and old mouse droppings next to the fireplace significantly dampened the vacation mood.
    There were plenty of toys available, but almost all of them were incomplete. The grill was nice, but the grill grate was, unfortunately, completely rusted and filthy.
    The chairs at the dining table, unfortunately, fell completely apart, and the chair legs couldn’t be screwed back together. We were afraid the chair would give way beneath us.
