Nature house in Veenhuizen

This nature house is really in the middle of the nature of Drenthe, wedged between the oldest primeval forests of the Netherlands and one of the few, well-preserved unique raised bog areas. The nature house is a national monument from 1839 and is part of the steam cotton mill complex as part of the "Third Institution"(from the "Pauper Paradise" and "The foundling of Veenhuizen"). After decades of ruins, the building was fully restored in 2002 and in the old dormitory, with a sense of style and character, three independent double apartments were realized. The nature house has a bathroom with floor heating, an open kitchen with microwave oven, dishwasher, a TV and a wood stove. Upstairs is a sleeping loft with a double bed. At the front of the nature house you have a view of the forest, at the back spacious views over the beautiful vast farmlands; perfect for rest and a relaxing stay in nature.

Because of the heat, we left earlier
Vanwege de hitte zijn we eerder vertrokken
Located right on a walking and biking trail
The cottage is very noisy
Poorly insulated: it quickly gets just as hot inside as it is outsideLigt direct aan wandel- en fietsroute
Het huisje is erg gehorig
Slecht geisoleerd: het is binnen al snel net zo warm als buitenThis text is automatically translated. -

Nice apartment, nicely decorated. The bedroom is on the spacious loft. The mattress could be a little firmer... but other than that, it's great!
Fijn appartement, leuk ingericht. Slaapkamer is op de ruime vide. Matras zou wel iets steviger kunnen..maar verder prima!
An apartment in a very quiet location with a private garden shared with the other two apartments.
Zeer rustig gelegen appartement met een besloten tuin die gedeeld wordt met de andere 2 appartementen.

It was really great! Atmospheric and we lacked nothing. Well, one thing then: a few kindling for the stove. But that was the only thing :-)
Het was echt top! Sfeervol en t ontbrak ons aan niets. Nou, één dingetje dan: een paar aanmaakhoutjes voor de kachel. Maar dat was dan ook t enige :-)
Enjoyed!
Genoten!
