8.8/10
4.8/5

This nature house is located on a small recreation park with four detached vacation homes right on the Drentsche Aa. The houses are lined up along the stream, so that each house has an unobstructed view of the Aa. The company has existed since 1927 and has passed from father to son. Son is now in charge and father still does odd jobs. The houses are in the middle of the Stroomdal Drentsche Aa nature reserve. With a very long fishing rod you can fish almost from your house. Near the cottage is a meadow available. In late summer and autumn they have mushroom days for learning to recognize and prepare edible mushrooms. Upon request, they can also organize game picking tours and a birding excursion. Pets are allowed and free, provided they behave nicely and do not cause a nuisance. This nature house was designed by the artist William Speakman in the shape of a mushroom. It is a very comfortable cottage with massage chair for stuck joints.

Nature and surroundings

The nature reserve is part of the much larger national park Nationaal Beek- en Esdorpenlandschap Drentsche Aa, approximately 15,000 hectares in size. The small-scale recreation park is virtually on the Pieterpad and the area is perfect for short to long walks and bike rides through beautiful nature. In the Aa you can swim and canoe. The park borders a moorland with a sand drift and here dogs are also allowed to run free. Within walking distance of about 10 minutes is the first archaeological reserve of the Netherlands with dolmens, burial mounds and cart tracks. The size is about 300 hectares. Dogs are allowed along, but on a leash. There is a part where dogs are allowed to run loose. Furthermore, the cottage is located against moors and forests. You can walk for hours without having to cross a major road. By car you are in 20 minutes in Assen or Groningen. The poems of Rutger Kopland (1934-2012) about the Drentsche Aa originated largely on this spot.

    Warm welcome. Use of canoes was offered. Very green place. Across from release area, ideal with the dog. Cottage was a bit musty though (recently had a leak) and crooked. If you want to unwind in a secluded place this is perfect!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is right on the Aa in the green. Car close by.
