Surrounded by nature, on the edge of the 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 1,600 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.
