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!

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!
A very cozy little house

Fully equipped, clean, and tidy. Tall people might have to duck a bit sometimes, but that adds to the charm.
Van alle gemakken voorzien, schoon en netjes. Voor lange mensen even bukken soms maar dat heeft ook charme.
A lovely little cottage in a yard, but with complete privacy. Beautiful tall trees and fully equipped with all the amenities. We were there during the weekend of the heat wave, but it was still quite comfortable (we brought a fan, and the hostess had also set one up for us). Beautiful surroundings.
Prachtig kabouterhuisje op een erf maar totale privacy. Hele mooie hoge bomen en van alle gemakken voorzien. Wij zaten er in het weekend van de bloedhitte maar desondanks goed uit te houden.( ventilator mee en de dame had er ook 1 klaar gezet) prachtige omgeving
