Nature and surroundings
The house is located in the woods in Koekangerveld, near the charming village of Ruinen. In addition to the activities offered by the nearby nature (hiking and biking trails), places like Giethoorn, Dwingeloo, Frederiksoord, and Emmen (Wildlands) are all within easy reach. It’s an ideal base for many day trips. And after a fun day out, you’ll return to the cottage, where you’ll see birds and squirrels in the garden. A truly special experience!

It's dark in the cottage, but everything else is fine. Good pans and sharp knives—that's nice, too.
Donker in het huisje, verder alles in orde. Goede pannen en scherpe messen, ook prettig
Aside from the many dogs in the surrounding houses that barked frequently—which, unfortunately, my dog also reacted to—it was wonderfully quiet and just two steps away from the woods.
Behalve veel en vaak blaffende honden in de omliggende huizen waar mijn hond helaas ook op reageerde, heerlijk rustig en met 2 stappen in het bos.

Although we had a great two weeks, we did find it a bit pricey for what it is. It could use some maintenance here and there. The garden is really nice for the dog. Inside, it’s way too dark with poor lighting. Doing crafts at the big table is difficult because of the dim light. Previous reviews mention the floor, and that’s definitely an issue. If you drop something in the bathroom, the dog jumps to its feet in the living room out of fright.
Response from the host:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that, because we would have been happy to replace the two worn-out window screens for you right away during your stay, as suggested. The screens have since been completely replaced for our next guests.Hoewel we prima twee weken hebben gehad vonden we het wel wat prijzig voor wat het is. Hier en daar toch wat onderhoud nodig. De tuin is heel fijn voor de hond. In huis is het echt veel te donker met slechte verlichting. Knutselen aan de grote tafel is lastig door het schemerlicht. Eerdere recensies noemen de vloer en dat is idd een ding. Wanneer je in de badkamer iets laat vallen schiet de hond van schrik in de woonkamer overeind.
Reactie vanuit de verhuurder:
Bedankt voor uw feedback. Jammer om te horen, want we hadden de twee horren met slijtage graag direct tijdens het verblijf voor u vervangen zoals voorgesteld. Inmiddels zijn de horren volledig vernieuwd voor onze volgende gastenThe surroundings are beautiful. There's a dog-walking area right outside the cottage. There are plenty of biking and hiking opportunities starting from the cottage.
Omgeving prachtig. Vanuit het huisje direct losloopgebied. Genoeg fiets en wandel mogelijkheden vanuit het huisje.

Everything you need—a wonderful cottage, perfect for dogs and, if desired, children.
Alles aanwezig, geweldig huisje met honden en eventueel met kinderen.
Delicious, but a little warm.
Heerlijk, maar wel een beetje warm.
