Nature house in Ruinen

From this nature house, you’ll enjoy a beautiful view of the meadows, the spacious yard, and the large garden pond, where roe deer often come to drink at dusk. You can spot many species of birds in the garden, and squirrels also make regular appearances. The detached two-person lodge has its own south-facing terrace. The living/bedroom area is equipped with a flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi. The sleeping area features a double box-spring bed. The beds can also be separated if desired. The kitchen is in a separate room. It features a Nespresso coffee machine, an air fryer (for toasting bread rolls, among other things), a kettle, and a microwave. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, and sink. The spacious garden offers various seating areas, a large BBQ, and plenty of privacy. “De Bosuil” is located near the “De Eekhoorn” cottage. Here, you can fully enjoy the peace and space on and around the property. There is a charging station for your electric bikes.

Our nature house is located in Dwingelderveld National Park, the largest wet heathland area in Western Europe and the quietest area in the Netherlands. There you’ll find heathland, forest, shifting sand dunes, and more than forty ponds. Thanks to the diversity of the Dwingelderveld, it is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. There are countless ways to enjoy this unique landscape. You can hike, bike, run, ride horses, and watch birds from hides and behind screens. The Natuurmonumenten visitor center is within walking distance of our cottages, and the Ruinen sheepfold is nearby. It’s the ideal base from which to explore the area. Charming villages like Dwingeloo and Diever are well worth a visit, and a trip to the hunebeds is a must. Drenthe National Park is home to three hunebeds. The village of Ruinen has several cozy restaurants and cafes, and a supermarket.
