Are you also ready for a wonderful break? No obligations—just enjoy the silence, the birds, and the nature of the Drents Friese Woud to the fullest. Grab a book or magazine from the shelf, pour yourself a treat, and unwind on the spacious, sunny terrace overlooking the large pond. Or take a stroll through the garden, which spans over one hectare. This comfortable vacation home is located in the rear section of the farmhouse, with its own entrance. Inside, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms with comfortable, extra-long box-spring beds, each with its own bathroom. In the cozy living-dining room, you’ll find information about the surrounding area and a fully equipped kitchenette with a refrigerator, ceramic cooktop, and combination microwave. The nature house is not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

Nature and surroundings

The farmhouse is set in a one-hectare garden and has been largely landscaped as a small nature reserve with two ponds, a flower meadow, and the edge of a forest. The many paths and seating areas each offer a different view of the landscape. Roe deer, stone martens, badgers, and buzzards are regular visitors to the garden. In addition, kingfishers, white-throated dippers, sparrowhawks, goldfinches, great spotted woodpeckers, green woodpeckers, and many other rare birds have been spotted here. There are no fewer than five remarkable national parks in the area: the Drents-Friese Wold National Park is the closest, just a 10-minute bike ride away. And there are also the Dwingelderveld, the Weerribben-Wieden, the Alde Feanen, and the Drentse Aa. All are within a 45-minute drive. But there’s also plenty to discover outside the national parks. Several smaller natural gems are nearby, perfect for hiking, biking, or canoeing.

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.

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation.
