Charming, simple and comfortable nature house, located behind our residential farmhouse with private terrace and access to the natural pond with bamboo forest. On the ground floor of the nature house you will find the living, dining and sitting room with double sofa bed and the (open) kitchen. Zuidlaarderveen is a small village 5 km. from Zuidlaren (very pleasant tourist village) and is centrally located between Groningen and Assen, where you can visit museums, stores and restaurants. There is a double bed (140 x 200 centimeters) on the upper floor, which is part of the open space (loft idea). Somewhat limited movement space around the bed. This floor is reached by a steep spiral staircase with armrest. Public transportation starts in Zuidlaren (bus) or Kropswolde (train). The landlords are happy to pick you up/drop you off to/from the bus or train station. A retro folding caravan in the adjacent garden can also be used in the warmer months if you come with 4 people.

Nature and surroundings

There are many opportunities for water sports around the nature house, with the river Hunze (Oostermoerse vaart) and the Zuidlaardermeer as the biggest attractions in this area. A Canadian canoe for three to four persons is at your disposal free of charge. You can also of course cycle in the area, with the landlords happy to provide bicycles. Hiking is possible on the various moors or in the woods in the area (Gasterse Duinen, Balloërveld). Behind the nature house is a natural pond and a bamboo grove. It goes without saying that this is an amphibian and bird paradise. So you can also enjoy the peace and quiet and the surroundings. There are two shetland ponies walking in the adjacent pasture plot. In the immediate vicinity (400 meters) is a recently constructed hiking forest and the Tusschenwater nature project (combined water storage area with meandering river) 1 km away. This place is a great base for discovering Groningen and Drenthe.

    Despite the heat outside, it stayed nice and cool inside.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A very nicely decorated cottage. A cozy place to sleep upstairs. Plenty of space inside and plenty of space to relax outside as well. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings for a few days. Lots of opportunities for biking.

    A nice, cool little cottage to stay in for a week.

    We enjoyed the peace and quiet; it was deafeningly quiet there—it was wonderful. There was plenty of space in and around the cottage, surrounded by lots of greenery.

    We enjoyed a long weekend away in this cozy little cottage in a quiet location. The owners are very friendly, and they even let us borrow four bikes, which we gratefully took advantage of. In the summer, the folding trailer is a great place to sleep. Only the sofa bed seemed like it could use a good cleaning.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The area is very peaceful and ideal for hiking, biking, and visiting dolmens.
