The Vlinder vacation home is located in one of the most beautiful spots in Drenthe, on the edge of Dwingelderveld National Park. Surrounded by nature—with squirrels and birds in the garden and deer in the meadow—you’ll find complete peace and quiet. In 2017, the cottage underwent significant renovations and expansion. As a result, the living room with its open kitchen has nearly doubled in size. The bathroom and kitchen were subsequently updated and modernized, and underfloor heating was installed. The wood stove provides cozy and delightful warmth. Several sliding glass doors were also installed, offering the current stunning views of the meadows and sunsets. Having breakfast at the kitchen island and enjoying the sweeping view, or watching the sunset in the evening—you’ll never get tired of it.
Nature and surroundings
Vlinder is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld in a small-scale recreational park. A forest with a few cottages scattered here and there. Peace and quiet guaranteed. Important: On Mondays and Fridays, you can drive right up to the cottage. After unloading, the car must be parked in the general parking lot. On other days, you can use handcarts to transport your luggage. From Vlinder, you can walk straight into the Dwingelderveld or along the Ruinse AA. In addition to the Dwingelderveld, two other national parks are nearby: the Drents-Friese Wold and the Weerribben-Wieden. Both parks offer beautiful hiking and biking trails through varied landscapes. Ruinen, Ansen, Vledder, Dwingeloo, and Westerbork are within biking distance. Enjoy nature, the flock of sheep, and—if you’re lucky—a roe deer or a crane. Explore villages like Giethoorn and Orvelte, or enjoy day trips to WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo or cities such as Zwolle, Emmen, or Assen.

It's hard to tuck the bottom sheets in because of the mattress toppers.
It would be handy if there were a bike shed at the cottage; right now, the bikes have to be left outside.Onderlakens zijn moeilijk in de stoppen door de topmatrassen .
Het zou handig zijn als er bij het huisje een fietsenhok zou zijn , nu moeten ze buiten staan .A very nice little house with a beautiful view of the meadows, where we also saw some fawns.
Heel mooi huisje met prachtig uitzicht over de weilanden , waar we ook reetjes zagen .

Spacious living room with a well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms aren't large, but the beds are comfortable; the bathroom with a walk-in shower is sufficiently spacious, and the toilet is separate. Most of the cottage’s yard is shaded by trees, which is nice when it gets hot; the view is soothing.
Ruime woonkamer, met prima uitgeruste keuken. De slaapkamers zijn niet groot, maar de bedden zijn prima; de badkamer met inloopdouche is voldoende ruim, toilet is apart. De tuin van het huisje ligt grotendeels tussen de bomen met veel schaduw, wat prettig is bij hoge temperaturen, het uitzicht is rustgevend.
A comfortable cottage located on the edge of a forest with a beautiful view of a quiet park with no amenities.
Comfortabel huisje gelegen aan bosrand met mooi uitzicht op een rustig park zonder voorzieningen.

Very clean house; everything you need is provided. The living area is very spacious! The bedrooms are a bit small, but you’ll sleep wonderfully on the comfortable beds. It’s lovely to sit outside, gazing into the distance, watching deer, foxes, cranes, and the usual birds. In warm weather, it’s lovely in the shade; in cooler weather, you have to look around a bit to find a spot to sit in the sun.
Zeer schoon huis, alles is aanwezig. De leefruimte is zeer ruim! De slaapkamers zijn wat klein, maar daar lig je dan wel heerlijk op goede bedden. Heerlijk buiten kunnen zitten, starend in de verte, kijkend naar herten, vossen, kraanvogels en de gebruikelijke vogels. Bij warm weer heerlijk in de schaduw, bij fris weer is het een beetje zoeken naar een plekje om in de zon te zitten.
The house is located in a park, but you hardly notice it. We hardly saw the other guests at all, and we certainly didn't hear them. The name "Hear the Silence" certainly applies here.
Het huis ligt wel op een park, maar daar merk je heel weinig van. Wij hebben de andere mensen eigenlijk bijna niet gezien en zeker niet gehoord. De naam "Hoor de stilte" is hier zeker van toepassing.
