Are you ready for a wonderful break? Nothing to do, just enjoy the silence, the birds and the nature of the Drents Friese Woud. Pull out a book or magazine, pour yourself a snack and relax on the spacious, sunny terrace overlooking the large pond. Or take a walk through the garden of over one hectare. The comfortable cottage is located in the rear part of the residential farmhouse, with its own entrance. Inside are two spacious bedrooms with comfortable, extra-long box-spring beds and each has its own bathroom. In the cozy sitting-dining room you will find information about the area and a fully equipped kitchenette with refrigerator, ceramic hob and combination microwave. The nature house is not suitable for children under the age of 12.

Nature and surroundings

The farmhouse is set in a one-acre garden and is largely laid out as a nature reserve with two pools, a flower meadow and a forest edge. The many paths and sitting areas give different views of the landscape each time. Deer, stone marten, badger and buzzard are regular visitors to the garden. Furthermore, the kingfisher, whitethroat, sparrowhawk, bullfinch, great spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker and many other special birds have been spotted here. In the vicinity you will find no less than five special national parks: the National Park Drents-Friese Wold is the closest at only 10 minutes by bike. A little further away you will find the Dwingelderveld, the Weerribben-Wieden, the Alde Feanen and the Drentse Aa. All within 45 minutes by car. But also outside the national parks there is much to discover. Several smaller natural gems are nearby for walking, cycling or canoeing.

    How much we enjoyed this beautiful place in Makkinga. The beautiful garden, the nice house, so tastefully decorated, cozy and comfortable. We totally relaxed and visited so many nice things in the area. Southeast Friesland is really a beautiful area. Thank you for your hospitality and who knows until next time.

    only drawback: lots of mosquitoes despite mosquito nets.

    A pleasant and attractively furnished apartment (part of a beautiful farmhouse with private entrance and spacious private terrace) in a beautiful garden with pond and piece of forest. In the area many opportunities for walking and cycling. Also many museums and other attractions in the region for the days with less beautiful weather.
