The landlords welcome you to their small-scale property, unique in a relaxing environment in the heart of the North. You can use a nature house with pleasant but special architecture. The private garden, including special Rietveld chairs, is bordered and lockable. It is a beautiful, adventurous and safe area for vacations with children, but also the peace-seeker will find what they are looking for. Surrounded by beautiful old trees, fragrant wild roses and the grass dotted with daisies has plenty of privacy. The reading cottage is available for special meetings and personal attention to contribute to a pleasant time you are a guest here. The grounds on which the nature house stands are a meeting with peace and quiet, a friendly atmosphere in an inspiring environment. The cottage is fully furnished and has two bedrooms, one on the ground floor, for a total of five people. The living room, kitchen and dining area, although an open space, have surprising privacy in relation to each other. Because of its location, it is bright and pleasant inside. For extra atmosphere and warmth, there is a wood stove with a beautiful fire.
Nature and surroundings
The beautiful nature of Drenthe, Friesland and Overijssel. Hours of cycling, hiking and enjoyment. The name of this area says it all: the Frisian Woods. Not only for nature lovers, but also for children there are areas with challenges. Plenty of time for hiking and cycling. Using the cycle junctions you can set out the most beautiful tours yourself or choose one of our own routes from the landlords. It's unusual for the Netherlands, but here you'll find three national parks within a short distance. The first is De Alde Feanen, the low moorland swamp consisting of lakes, capegaten, reed beds, ruggedness, thickets and swamp forests. Second is the National Park Drents-Friese Wold with its beautiful sand drifts and heathland. And then there is the beautiful, wetland nature reserve De Weerribben in the head of Overijssel. Taking a whisper boat out on the water is a great experience. In between is a core area of the ecological main structure, the Fochteloërveen. There is a bird-watching hut and near Ravenswoud is a special watchtower from which you have a beautiful view of the nature reserve.

No standard coffee maker, no freezer compartment, and no recycling bins. It does have a double sink and hot water.
Bathroom: no bath/toilet mat, high shower threshold, poor ventilation (linked to the lights), no screen window or outlet, and no direct heating or thermostatic faucet. The toilet paper holder is awkwardly placed. The hot water works well, though.
Bedrooms: small room not used; this is the only room with a screen door. The large bedroom has no window, only a door without a screen, and no blackout curtains. It does have mood lighting.
Outside: no chair cushions or shelter from the sun or rain. The artificial grass on the patio stays wet and soggy for a long time. The grass was too tall. The lockable gate is broken (temporarily fixed with a block of wood), which is a problem when you have a dog. From the garden, you look directly onto the playground and the central area with the tent and fire pit; the restroom building draws the attention of passing guests.
Plus: the delicious grapes!Geen normaal koffiezetapparaat, geen vriesvak en geen afvalbakken voor scheiding. Wel een dubbele spoelbak en heet water.
Badkamer: geen bad-/wc-mat, hoge douche-instap, matige ventilatie (gekoppeld aan verlichting), geen horraam of stopcontact en geen directe verwarming/thermostaatkraan. De toiletrolhouder is onhandig. Wel goed warm water.
Slaapkamers: kleine kamer niet gebruikt; dit is de enige kamer met horraam. Grote slaapkamer heeft geen raam, alleen een deur zonder hor, en geen verduisterende gordijnen. Wel sfeerverlichting.
Buiten: geen stoelkussens of beschutting tegen zon/regen. Kunstgras op het terras blijft lang nat en zompig. Gras was te hoog. Het afsluitbare hek is kapot (met een blok hout opgelost), wat lastig is met een hond. Vanuit de tuin kijk je direct op de speelplaats en de centrale plek met tent/vuurschaal; het sanitairgebouw zorgt voor passerende gasten.
Pluspunt: de lekkere druiven!The cottage is in urgent need of renovation and modernization. In September, it gets cold and damp quickly.
The two nature houses are connected to each other. We had quiet neighbors. The layout of the “Roos” cottage differs from the floor plan in one respect. The location also doesn’t quite match the description of a spot in the middle of nature, far from the crowds, for those seeking peace and privacy: the cottage is right next to the playground and next to the restroom building. We were lucky that families with children left after a few days. Due to the bad weather and because we were out a lot, it ultimately didn’t bother us much. The campground itself is neat, green, and spacious.
Living room: a lot of dirt and moisture comes in right away; no windows that open and no screens on the French doors. However, there is a nice wood stove (wood available), central heating, and comfortable seating.
Kitchen: very few kitchen supplies (no salad utensils, few bowls or dishes) and no practical essentials such as dish soap, trash bags, aluminum foil, etc.Het huisje is dringend aan vernieuwing en modernisering toe. In september is het snel koud en vochtig.
De twee natuurhuisjes zijn met elkaar verbonden. Wij hadden rustige buren. De indeling van huisje Roos wijkt op een punt af van de tekening. De ligging past ook niet goed bij de omschrijving als plek midden in de natuur, ver van de massa, voor rustzoekers met privacy: het huisje ligt direct aan de speelplaats en naast het sanitairgebouw. Wij hadden geluk dat gezinnen met kinderen na enkele dagen vertrokken. Door het slechte weer en omdat we veel weg waren, stoorde het ons uiteindelijk beperkt. De camping zelf is netjes, groen en ruim.
Woonkamer: direct veel vuil/nattigheid naar binnen; geen te openen raam en geen horren bij de openslaande deuren. Wel een fijne houtkachel (hout verkrijgbaar), cv en comfortabele zitplaatsen.
Keuken: erg weinig inventaris (geen slabestek, weinig bakjes/schaaltjes) en geen praktische basisartikelen zoals afwasmiddel, afvalzakken, aluminiumfolie, etc.This text is automatically translated. -

We give a 7 because the mattress was a bit old in our eyes.For the rest a fine nature house.Response from landlord:What a pity that the guests upon departure gave no criticism, and were very enthusiastic about the cottage. The 2x 80x200 pocket spring mattresses are in new condition and bought 1 ½ years ago at the Matrassenfabiek, and equipped with mattress protectors that are always clean on the bed upon arrival. Guests preferred to bring their own linens, and we think guests may be used to a harder mattress.
We geven een 7 omdat het matras wat oud was in onze ogen.
Voor de rest een prima natuurhuisje.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Wat jammer dat de gasten bij vertrek geen enkele kritiek gaven, en zeer enthousiast over het huisje waren. De 2x 80x200 pocketveringmatrassen zijn in nieuwstaat en 1 ½ jaar geleden gekocht bij de Matrassenfabiek, en voorzien van matrasbeschermers die altijd bij aankomst schoon op het bed liggen. De gasten gaven er de voorkeur aan eigen linnengoed mee te nemen.
Wij denken dat de gasten misschien een hardere matras gewend zijn.We found that it was a cool cottage. Two days around 30 degrees.
We troffen dat het een koel huisje was. Twee dagen rond de 30 graden.

We were there in the first week vacation Central NL, it was still very quiet the first days. So outside the vacations a very quiet cottage. It is located directly on a campsite and a small playground. Can imagine that some people would like to know this information in advance. The playground closes at 8:30 p.m., only apparently not all people on the campsite know about that? Just like the silence compartment on the train: unfortunately there will always be people who consider themselves (or their children) an exception. We did not see the owners during our stay, but we did see their son and he gave us a perfect welcome and check out.
Wij waren er in de eerste week vakantie Midden NL, het was nog heel rustig de eerste dagen. Dus buiten de vakanties een zeer rustig gelegen huisje. Het ligt wel direct aan een camping èn een klein speeltuintje. Kan me voorstellen dat sommige mensen deze informatie van tevoren zouden willen weten. De speeltuin gaat dicht om 20.30, alleen hebben blijkbaar niet alle mensen op de camping daar weet van? Net zoals de stiltecoupé in de trein: helaas zullen er altijd mensen zijn die zichzelf (of hun kinderen)een uitzondering vinden.
We hebben de eigenaren zelf niet gezien tijdens ons verblijf, wel de zoon en die gaf ons een perfect onthaal en check out.Everything was clean, very cozy, nice place, good beds! One point: the house is a bit dark and a general lamp in the living room would be a nice addition. Furthermore, really had a great time, also a good base for exploring the area, and if it rains, the cottage is extra cozy :)
Alles was schoon, heel gezellig ingericht, fijne plek, goede bedden! Een puntje: het huisje is een beetje donker en één algemene lamp in woonkamer zou nog wel een prettige toevoeging zijn. Verder echt een hele leuke tijd gehad, ook een goede uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen.
En als het regent, is het huisje extra knus :)This text is automatically translated.
