Nature and surroundings
Located in quiet hamlet between the meadows (corn/ hayfield, cows/ pinks) bordering the Haardennen, part of nature reserve the Reestdal, on a path of 300 meters. At the end of the path begins boszoom and hiking area and is an intersection of the Maarten van Rossumpad. Within cycling distance of the Staphorster forest and recreation area the Black Pines. Semi-wild garden. The cottage is not specifically aimed at family accommodation in the sense of large play equipment and the like (there is a swing) but children are very welcome and allowed to "be themselves", with plenty of room to romp and we are not squeamish about a little noise or sand movement. Campfires and the like to be realized by mutual agreement (if not too dry). Please note that there may be agricultural activities on the surrounding land, we have no influence on this!

For taller people, the house might feel a bit cramped, because the sloped ceiling starts right in the living room. We solved that by moving the dining table to another part of the living room. The small room downstairs is accessible through a tiny door that requires you to duck, but it’s a wonderful place to sleep. The stairs to the upper level are steep, and you can hear everything from the living room upstairs. We didn’t find that a problem at all; we all slept wonderfully and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the beautiful garden, the lovely walks, and the peace and quiet all around us.
Voor grote mensen kan het huis wat krap aanvoelen, omdat in de woonkamer het schuine dak al begint. Wij hebben dat opgelost door de eettafel naar een ander deel van de woonkamer te schuiven. Het kleine kamertje beneden is bereikbaar door een mini-deurtje waarvoor je moet bukken, maar je slaapt er heerlijk. De trap naar boven is steil, en boven hoor je alles van de woonkamer. Wij vonden dat helemaal geen probleem, hebben allemaal heerlijk geslapen en genoten van de gezelligheid, mooie tuin, mooie wandelingen en rust om ons heen.
It’s a very cozy, comfortable home, where all the rooms—big and small—are put to good use. Everything is clean, tidy, and well-equipped. The bathroom is clean and new, the living room is nice and warm and bright, the beds are beautifully made, and there’s a stack of extra blankets in the attic. That was wonderful during the cold nights.
Het is een heel gezellig, knus huis, waar alle kleine en grote ruimtes heel handig benut zijn. Alles is schoon, netjes en compleet. De badkamer is schoon en nieuw, de woonkamer lekker warm en licht, de bedden mooi opgemaakt, een stapel extra dekens ligt op zolder. Dat was heerlijk tijdens de koude nachten.

A cozy little house in a beautiful setting. We went on a hike along the Vecht Valley trail and tried an escape room in the hold of a ship on the Vecht River, near the bridge in Ommen. Highly recommended!
Een knus huisje in een prachtige omgeving. Wij hebben een vechtdalroute gewandeld en een escaperoom gedaan in het ruim van een schip in de vecht, nabij de brug in ommen. Echte aanraders!
