If you’re looking to get away for a while in the woods, this is the perfect spot. The cottage “De Wensdroom” is located in Norg, Drenthe, and is a truly cozy and inviting wooden nature house in the Oosterduinen forest area, set on no less than 4 ha of private property. It’s a wonderful place to stay all year round. And yet, civilization isn’t all that far away. You can walk to the village in 15 minutes, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafes, and two supermarkets and two bike shops where you can rent bikes (and e-bikes for longer rides). The cottage has two bedrooms (the downstairs bedroom has a bunk bed; upstairs there are two separate single beds). The living room features an open kitchen and French doors leading to the covered, south-facing terrace. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and a gas stove. There is a drip coffee maker and an electric kettle. The pantry has a microwave. Please note: Duvets and pillows are provided, but no bed linens. Please also bring your own towels and kitchen linens.
Nature and surroundings
The landscape around Norg is characterized by ash groves, stream valleys, forests, and heathlands. Many traditional practices, such as mowing, haymaking, and grazing, are still carried out here. Grain is grown on the eshes. The Norger Esdorpen landscape includes, among others, the Norgerholt and the Tonckensbos. Between Norg, Peest, and Donderen lies the Noordsche Veld, where you can imagine yourself on the vast, quiet heathlands of days gone by. Scottish Highland cattle and a beautiful herd of native goats have taken over the role of the sheep herd. They help maintain an old-fashioned heathland where adders, lizards, and birds such as curlews and stonechats feel at home. The Noordsche Veld is of international archaeological significance. Along the road between Peest and Zeijen, you’ll find a hunebed and numerous burial mounds and ancient field complexes, known as “Celtic fields.”

Provided with everything, didn't actually have to bring kitchen stuff, which I'm used to doing because something is always missing. Not needed here :-)
Van alles voorzien, hoefde eigenlijk geen keukenspullen mee te nemen, wat ik gewend ben te doen omdat het altijd wel aan iets ontbreekt. Hier niet nodig :-)
Like a tree house. Surrounded by greenery and birds wherever you looked from the cottage, lovely
Als een boomhut. Omringd door groen en vogels waar je ook keek vanuit het huisje, heerlijk

Everything was there, but that also made it very full. For two adults and dog it is super good to do. I would have liked it to be a little cleaner and also separate the garbage. That was actually not done.
Alles was aanwezig, maar dat maakte het ook wel erg vol. Voor twee volwassenen en hond is het super goed te doen. Het had van mij wat schoner gemogen en ook het afval scheiden. Dat werd eigenlijk niet gedaan.
It was lovely and quiet, sometimes some noises from the cottages around it, lawnmower and so on. But we were a few times in the garden and at 10/15 meters eye to eye with deer! The only drawback was the amount of ticks. Every day we saw them walking on our dog, so we got pills at the pet store.
Het was heerlijk rustig, soms wat geluiden vanuit de huisjes erom heen, grasmaaier en zo. Maar we zaten een paar keer in de tuin en op 10/15 meter oog in oog met reeën!! Zo bijzonder!
Het enige nadeel was de hoeveelheid teken. Elke dag zagen we ze lopen op onze hond, gauw pillenh gehaald bij dierenwinkel.This text is automatically translated. -

Nice cottage, no luxury but has everything you need. Top spot.
Mooi huisje, geen luxe maar heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Top plek.
It was a wonderful place. Quiet in the middle of the forest with lots of hiking opportunities. And also there are many other hiking areas nearby. Also a large forest where your dog can run loose with swimming facilities for the dog.
Het was een heerlijke plek. Rustig midden in het bos met heel veel wandelmogelijkheden. En ook zijn er veel andere wandelgebieden in de buurt. Ook een groot bos waar je hond los kan lopen met zwemgelegenheid voor de hond.
