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!

We love washing dishes, and the toilet cistern does just fine! If there is anything Nieko comes right away.... If you want a tip, come hear, Natasja comes from the Balkbrug clay and knows her surroundings well. I will definitely come back here. Together with my husband, or alone. And the surroundings, 15 minutes to N S E or W ..... everything is so quiet and beautiful!
Wij vinden afwassen heerlijk, en de wc stortbak doet het prima! Als er iets is komt Nieko meteen.... Wil je een tip, kom maar hoor, Natasja komt uit de Balkbrugse klei en kent haar omgeving wel. Ik kom hier zeker terug. Samen met manlief, of lekker alleen.
En de omgeving, 15 minuten naar N Z O of W ..... alles is zo rustig en mooi!What a delight, an idyllic warm authentically decorated house yet with all the comforts you could wish for. Lovely sofas, beds and seating areas.... inside and out. A private home, with a conservatory and a great garden. A writing workshop together with the story of the residents and their history there, makes the visit so inviting that the fingers start itching. From the conservatory filled with fig leaves, you can see in the beautiful garden so many species of birds bathing, singing, fluttering and nesting, while the cats around jump and make the spectacle even more fun. It could also just be the neighbor with a diesel engine and a mattress, hanging in the air.... To each his own ;). But especially the farmers with their tractors and the birds hopping after them.... rest. Between me and the owners there were many coincidences, but apart from that it is wonderful to know that your privacy is guaranteed. They feel that very well!
Wat een heerlijkheid, een idyllisch warm authentiek ingericht huis met toch alle gemakken die je je maar kunt wensen. Heerlijke banken, bedden en zitjes.... binnen en buiten. Een eigen huis, met een serre en een geweldige tuin. Een schrijfatelier tesamen met het verhaal van de bewoners en hun historie aldaar, maakt het bezoek zo uitnodigend dat de vingers gaan jeuken.
Vanuit de serre gevuld met vijgenblad, zie je in de prachtige tuin zoveel soorten vogeltjes die badderen, zingen, fladderen en nestelen, terwijl de katten rondom springen en het schouwspel nog leuker maken. Het kan ook zomaar zijn dat de buurman met een dieselmotortje en een matras, in de lucht hangt.... Ieder zijn meug ;). Maar vooral ook de boeren met hun trekkers en de vogels die dan daar weer achteraan wippen.... rust. Hier komt een mens tot rust.
Tussen mij en de eigenaren waren veel toevallige levensloopjes, maar los daarvan is het heerlijk te weten dat je privacy gewaarborgd is. Dat voelen ze goed aan!This text is automatically translated. -

Stortkak toilet did not or barely worked, was told us on arrival, but we were those days with a problem. Further no contact with landlords even when parting difficult to reach finally via telelefoon really a minpunt
Stortkak wc werkte niet of nauwelijks,was ons gezegd bij aankomst,maar wij zaten die dagen wel met een probleem. Verder geen contact met verhuurders zelfs bij afscheid moeilijk te bereiken tenslotte via telelefoon echt een minpunt
Cozy cozy cottage
Gezellig knus huisje

Something old-fashioned but cozy
Iets oudbollig maar gezellig
