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.
Heerlijke plek. Aardige verhuurder. Op voorhand een goede beschrijving voor het inchecken ontvangen.
Flesje wijn en appeltaart stonden bij aankomst voor ons klaar.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.
Het huisje is voorzien van alles dat er nodig is. De tuin is prachtig en groot. Genoeg plekjes waar je lekker kunt zitten om te luisteren naar de vele vogeltjes. Het huisje was netjes en schoon.

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!
Het Roodborstje is een zeer comfortabel huisje, met alles erop en eraan. Prima bedden, vloerverwarming en een houtkachel. Kortom, een heerlijke plek midden in de prachtige Drentse natuur, waar je helemaal tot rust kunt komen.
Een absolute aanrader!!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!
Het huisje is prachtig gelegen, omringd door een weelderige tuin met heel veel bomen, struiken, bloemen, vogels en eekhoorns, die je uitstekend kunt observeren door de vele ramen in de woonkamer. Er loopt een weg achter de tuin maar er is heel weinig verkeer, dus dat hebben we absoluut niet als storend ervaren. Aan de overkant van de weg loop je zo het natuurgebied Drents-Friese Wold in, waar je eindeloos kunt wandelen. Er zijn twee prima fietsen waar we lange fietstochten mee gemaakt hebben.
We werden zeer gastvrij ontvangen door de sympathieke eigenaren, met een heerlijke appeltaart en een fles wijn die voor ons klaarstonden. En aangezien we met openbaar vervoer kwamen, werden we ook nog opgehaald van het station Assen door onze gastheer. Wat een service!This text is automatically translated.
