Vacation home Butterfly is located in one of the most beautiful spots in Drenthe on the edge of the National Park Dwingelderveld. Surrounded by nature, with the squirrels and birds in the garden and the deer in the meadow, you come to complete rest. In 2017, the cottage was significantly renovated and expanded. As a result, the living room with open kitchen almost doubled in area. The bathroom and kitchen were then updated and modernized, and underfloor heating was installed. The wood stove provides an atmospheric and wonderful warmth. There are also several sliding doors which provide the current great views over the meadows and sunsets. Having breakfast at the kitchen counter and enjoying the panoramic view or in the evening enjoying the sunset, you really can't get enough of that.

Nature and surroundings

Butterfly is located on the edge of the Dwingelderveld on a small recreation park. A forest with a cottage here and there. Peace and quiet guaranteed. From Vlinder you can walk to the Dwingelderveld or along the Ruinse AA. Besides Dwingelderveld are two other national parks nearby: the Drents-Friese Wold and Weerribben-Wieden. Both parks offer beautiful hiking and cycling routes through varied landscapes. Ruinen, Ansen, Vledder, Dwingeloo, Westerbork are within cycling distance. Enjoy nature, the sheep herd and if you're lucky a deer or a crane. Explore villages like Giethoorn and Orvelte or enjoy trips to WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo or cities like Zwolle, Emmen or Assen.

    We had a great time in the cottage butterfly, the interior is comfortable and everything was there. The turn of the year was very quiet in the park we heard as good as nothing it is for us something to come back again. Kind regards Cor and Bea Meijer.
