Surrounded by majestic trees, this charming nature house is located in northern Drenthe. It was built in 1930 on the site where the Bloemert Estate house once stood on the edge of the Zuidlaardermeer. The nature house sits on 8,000 m² of private land, part of a wooded area where three other nature houses are scattered at a comfortable distance from one another. The forest is home to a variety of birds, such as the spotted woodpecker and the nuthatch, which visit the feeding table daily. The nature house has been carefully decorated in a rustic, romantic style. The open kitchen is fully equipped with modern conveniences, including a combination oven and dishwasher. It’s a delightful spot to relax in front of the built-in fireplace with a book from the book carousel and a good glass of wine. The bedrooms are upstairs, and the bathroom—with a shower stall, sink, and toilet—is downstairs. Wi-Fi (fiber optic) and a flat-screen TV are available. Smoking is not permitted indoors, and pets are not allowed. Parking is available next to the cottage, and bicycles (which can be rented if desired) can be stored indoors.
Nature and surroundings
From Midlaren, it’s just four kilometers to the charming village of Zuidlaren, with its variety of shops and restaurants. Haren and Groningen (16 kilometers) are also within easy reach. The area around Midlaren is ideal for hiking (Noordlaarderbos, the 50-Bunder, or Appelbergen). Midlaren is located on the northern edge of the Drentsche Aa region, within Geopark De Hondsrug, and just 16 kilometers from Groningen. The cottage is therefore the perfect base for cycling trips, such as a loop around the Zuidlaardermeer or a ride through the Drentsche Aa National Landscape Park. Renting a boat is easy; the Zuidlaardermeer is within walking distance (500 meters). With its combination of woods and water, this nature house offers the best of both worlds. For golf enthusiasts, there’s a beautiful course in Glimmen, just three kilometers away.

It's a very cozy little house. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the open space. We'd love to come back sometime.
Het is een heel knus huisje. We hebben erg genoten van de rust en ruimte. We komen graag een keer terug.
It's a really lovely little cottage. We were able to relax here wonderfully and enjoyed watching the many little birds.
Het is een heel fijn huisje. We hebben hier heerlijk kunnen ontspannen en genoten van de vele vogeltjes.

It rained quite a bit while we were there, so we used the cottage as a base for exploring the hiking trails. You can do water sports in the area, but we can’t say much about that. Every time it stopped raining, we headed out.
Toen wij er waren regende het nogal, wij hebben het huisje gebruikt als uitvalsbasis voor wandelgebieden. Je kan in de omgeving watersporten maar daar kunnen wij weinig over zeggen. Elke keer als get droog was gingen we op pad.
We had a wonderful time; the cottage was spacious, and there were lots of birds and butterflies around the house, as well as large, centuries-old trees.
We hebben het naar ons zin gehad, het huisje was ruim en er waren veel vogels en vlinders rond het huis en grote eeuwe oude bomen.

A real point of interest!!! The "double" bed consists of two separate beds that fit together very poorly. Between the two mattresses there is a large gap which makes sleeping together impossible.
Een echt aandachtspunt!!! Het 'tweepersoons' bed bestaat uit twee aparte bedden die zeer slecht op elkaar aansluiten. Tussen de twee matrassen gaapt een grote spleet waardoor bij elkaar slapen onmogelijk is.
Super cool cozy and complete cottage.
Super gaaf gezellig en compleet huisje.
