Surrounded by nature, on the edge of Het Drents Friese Wold National Park, lies this cozy, fully furnished nature house that sleeps three. It’s not located in a resort, but stands completely on its own on 1600 m² of private land, so you’ll enjoy optimal privacy. The nature house is equipped with underfloor heating, making it ideal for use year-round. On chilly summer evenings or during the winter, the wood stove in the living room adds extra coziness and comfort. The cottage is, of course, equipped with internet and all other amenities to help you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Arrival and departure times are always negotiable, if possible. The dimensions of the double bed are 1.40 m x 200 m. The cottage is smoke-free, and pets are not allowed.

Nature and surroundings

Drenthe has three large national parks: the Drents-Friese Wold, the Dwingelder Veld, and the Drentsche Aa. Vast heathlands, forested areas, meandering streams, hunebeds, and burial mounds can be explored via the many hiking and biking trails. The Fochteloërveen, the Hijkerveld with its Diependal birdwatching hut, and the sheepfold are also worth a visit. The natural landscape is very diverse. Dense forests alternate with open heathlands and beautiful little ponds. The Aeckingerzand, a vast area of sand drifts near Appelscha, can also be reached from the nature house via a beautiful bike route through the forest. During a walk, you might come face to face with a roe deer. In the garden near the nature house, rabbits hop about and squirrels scamper through the trees. Many beautiful birds, such as the great spotted woodpecker, nuthatches, and goldfinches, also love to visit.

    Lovely place. Nice landlord. Received in advance a good description for check-in. Bottle of wine and apple pie were waiting for us on arrival.

    The cottage is equipped with everything needed. The garden is beautiful and large. Plenty of places to sit and listen to the many birds. The cottage was neat and clean.

    The Little Robin is a very comfortable cottage, with all the trimmings. Fine beds, underfloor heating and a wood stove. In short, a wonderful place in the middle of the beautiful nature of Drenthe, where you can completely unwind, highly recommended!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is beautifully situated, surrounded by a lush garden with lots of trees, shrubs, flowers, birds and squirrels, which you can observe excellently through the many windows in the living room. There is a road behind the garden but there is very little traffic, so we did not find that disturbing at all. Across the road you walk straight into the nature reserve Drents-Friese Wold, where you can walk endlessly. There are two excellent bikes which we used for long bike rides. We were very hospitably received by the friendly owners, with a delicious apple pie and a bottle of wine waiting for us. And since we came by public transport, we were also picked up from Assen train station by our host. What a service!
