This charming, thatched nature house is situated in an incredible location on Lake Paterswoldse Meer, right in the heart of a stunning nature reserve.

Would you like to go ice skating in the winter? From here, you can do all of that in a truly idyllic setting. The layout of the house is bright and practical. Downstairs, you’ll find the living room with an open kitchen featuring a Nespresso machine and air conditioning. The French doors, equipped with roll-up screens on both sides, are always open when the weather is nice. Next to the hallway is a bathroom with a toilet, sink, and bathtub with shower. Next to the front door is the space for the utility closet, gas boiler, and washing machine. The garden of this house offers a lovely preview of what’s to come: beautifully maintained, with plenty of grass, shrubs, and flower beds. Notes: No smoking. No parties or events.

Nature and surroundings
From the moment you arrive at Paterswoldse Meer, you’ll be overcome by a sense of freedom. Whether you’re cutting through the waves with the wind filling your sails, picnicking on one of the many islands, exploring the beautiful forests on the numerous hiking and biking trails, or simply soaking up the sun at one of the cozy restaurants; the lake offers plenty of space to do your own thing. The lake, which was created around 1740, is part of the Paterswolde Lake District and is connected to the Hoornsemeer. The total area of about 900 hectares includes lakes, forests, small islands, beaches, hiking trails, bike paths, recreational facilities, restaurants and bars, and water sports facilities. The Paterswoldsemeer is also connected to the Noord-Willemskanaal via a four-meter-wide lock. This, combined with a draft of 1.20 meters, makes the Paterswoldsemeer a hub for water recreation and water sports. At the Zuidwesthoek Marina, you can rent canoes and rowboats; an electric rowboat is available for rent at Restaurant De Rietschans. Water sports lessons are also offered at Teunje De Slak!

The decor is nice and the beds good, it was also very clean. The kitchen is well equipped. Air conditioning upstairs and mosquito screens downstairs are great. Ideal with dogs, they can use the whole property - it's fully secured.
Die Einrichtung ist schön und die Betten gut, es war auch sehr sauber. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Klimaanlage oben und Mückengitter unten sind super. Mit Hunden ideal, sie können das ganze Grundstück nutzen - es ist komplett gesichert.
A very nice vacation home! The slightly longer walk from the parking lot is easy to organize with a handcart and the peace and quiet is great - you don't hear any cars. The location on the water is ideal for canoeing and the lounge furniture on the terrace is great for relaxing.
Ein sehr schönes Ferienhaus! Der etwas längere Weg vom Parkplatz lässt sich gut mit dem Bollerwagen organisieren und die Ruhe ist toll - man hört dadurch keine Autos. Die Lage am Wasser ist ideal zum Kanu fahren und die Loungemöbel auf der Terasse super zum entspannen.

For this money (still over 450.00 euros per night) I expected a tighter furnished house, it is starting to get a bit dated. Showering in bath I find outdated. Too much personal stuff in the house. Uncomfortable bedrooms with also personal stuff. Pillow cover with moisture stains. Administratively everything was well organized. Contact with the owner was correct.
Voor dit geld (toch ruim 450,00 euro per nacht) had ik een strakker ingericht huis verwacht, het begint wat gedateerd te raken. Douchen in bad vindt ik achterhaald. Te veel persoonlijke spullen in het huis. Ongezellige slaapkamers met ook persoonlijke spullen. Kussenhoes met vochtvlekken.. Administratief was alles goed geregeld. Contact met de eigenaresse was correct.
It is quite a long walk to the cottage. The big wagon was really needed. The cottage was less free than I had hoped. Unfortunately we did not have as good weather, which also makes a difference in your experience.
Het is een flink stuk lopen naar het huisje. De grote bolderwagen was echt nodig. Het huisje lag minder vrij dan ik had gehoopt. Helaas hadden we minder goed weer, dat scheelt ook in je ervaring.
