When you choose this nature house, you’re choosing quality time with friends or family. A chance to get away from the hustle and bustle. A break from the daily grind. Time to spend together. The cottage is situated on a completely private 1.5-hectare lot on the outskirts of Ruinen, right next to Dwingelderveld National Park. Within five minutes, you’ll be out on the heath, where you can see the shepherd with his sheep. Along the way, you’ll pass De Zandplatte windmill. Purple heathlands. Green fields under the open sky. Here, you can unwind. Here, there’s room for long conversations, cooking together, and sitting outside until dark. No one expects anything from you. It just happens naturally. Check-out is available on Sundays until 6:00 p.m. On Mondays and Fridays, check-out time is 10:00 a.m.

Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located in a unique region, just a short distance from no fewer than three national parks: Dwingelderveld, the Drents-Friese Wold, and Weerribben-Wieden. All three are within a thirty-minute drive. Nowhere else in the Netherlands will you find such a concentration of nature reserves in one place. The cottage is the ideal base for those who enjoy hiking or biking. Step outside and you’ll find yourself surrounded by heathlands, forests, and wetlands. All you need is a good attitude and a healthy dose of adventure. To preserve the peace and character of this place, we do not rent the nature house to sports or student clubs, or to groups of young people under the age of 25. When you choose this nature house, you’re choosing quality time with friends or family. A chance to get away from the hustle and bustle. A break from the daily grind. Time for each other.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
