Across the road, you can walk straight into the woods (BLUE ROUTE = 45 minutes), where you’ll rarely encounter others. A lovely wilderness in a half-hectare nature garden: a mother goat with her kid. Clara the pot-bellied pig. Guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits… and the friendly dog Sinne. Close to the Veenhuizen World Heritage Site. 7 kilometers from the TT grounds. The location is ideal for MOTORCYCLISTS. Motorcycles can be parked in the barn or under a covered area. A great spot for anglers and hikers. Member of “Vrienden op de fiets.” For pets staying with you, please select the additional fee of €7 per night. Registered with the Chamber of Commerce (87381869) with 5 spots. Great spot for geocaching. On hot days, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the canal.
Nature and surroundings
Close to the World Heritage village of Veenhuizen. Features a prison museum, gardens, cheese, and beer. Near Fochtelooerveen and the charming villages of Norg and Veenhuizen. The property is located along the road leading there. Near canoeing and fishing waters, with beautiful bike trails. Next to a beautiful farm. Admire the crystal-clear starry sky. Fresh eggs from our own chickens. PREPARE YOUR OWN BREAKFAST AND HOT MEALS. You can do this in the BARN KITCHEN. There’s also an induction cooktop in the studio. A Senseo and a coffee maker are provided. There’s also a microwave, a small Tefal oven, and an air fryer. The place isn’t just a cool experience—it’s also much cooler than outside the property during hot weather, thanks to the many trees and shady spots. The temperature difference can sometimes be as much as 7 degrees..... In short: the grounds have a bit of a French flair... nothing is perfect, but as they say: living like a king in France... I say... living with God... in Huis ter Heide. Please do NOT take any photos or videos of neighbors or horses with your cell phone. Please respect their privacy.

The cottage is simply furnished, and the kitchen and bathroom could be better equipped and, above all, a bit more convenient. On the other hand, the owner, Kees, is an exceptionally hospitable and kind man who goes out of his way to make sure guests are comfortable and immediately took care of certain things we were missing when we asked for them. If you’re looking for perfection, this isn’t the place to go, but if you want to feel welcome, then it definitely is.
Het huisje is eenvoudig ingericht en de keuken/badkamer kon completer en vooral wat handiger. Daar staat tegenover dat de eigenaar, Kees, een buitengewoon gastvrije en aardig man is, die er alles voor doet om het mensen naar de zin te maken en ook meteen zorgde voor bepaalde zaken die wij misten toen we ernaar vroegen. Als je voor perfectie gaat, is dit geen plek om heen te gaan, als je je welkom wilt voelen, dan zeker wel.
The cottage is located on a property that belongs to the former lockkeeper’s house at the lock across the street. Across the other street (the property is on a corner), you can walk straight into the woods. The grounds themselves are a varied landscape with plenty of greenery, open spaces, views through the trees, art, and various small buildings housing tools and the like. Chickens roam freely, and there are two goats and a pot-bellied pig.
Het huisje ligt op een terrein, behorende bij de voormalige sluiswachterswoning van de sluis aan de overkant van de weg. Aan de overkant van de andere weg (het terrein ligt op een hoek) loop je zo het bos in. Het terrein zelf is een afwisselend geheel met veel groen, open stukjes, doorkijkjes, kunst en diverse gebouwtjes met werktuigen en dergelijke. Er scharrelen kippen en er zijn twee geiten en een hangbuikzwijntje.

Simple, yet comprehensive
Eenvoudig, maar compleet
It’s a simple little house on a somewhat cluttered but cozy property, and it has a washer and dryer, a small oven, etc. Kees is very hospitable and brought us ice cream, eggs for breakfast, homemade cake, and even a plate of homemade salad with raspberry dressing.
You can use everything for free (bedding and towels, laundry detergent, coffee pods, wood for the fire pit, and even a canoe, for example).
We stayed for three nights and went cycling and fishing (in the canal right outside the door—there’s pike, perch, carp, roach, and more).
Highly recommended if you’re a bit flexible and adventurous.Het is een eenvoudig huisje op een wat rommelig, maar gezellig erf, en heel compleet met wasmachine en droger, oventje etc. Kees is heel erg gastvrij en kwam met ijsjes, eitjes voor het ontbijt, zelfgebakken cake, en zelfs een bordje zelfgemaakte salade met frambozendressing.
Je mag alles gratis gebruiken (beddegoed en handdoeken, waspoeder, koffiepads, hout voor de vuurkorf en bv ook een kano).
Wij waren er 3 nachten en hebben gefietst, gevist (in het kanaal voor de deur ook snoek, baars, karper en voorn etc).
Aanrader als je beetje flexibel en avontuurlijk bent.This text is automatically translated. -

Very nice, and beautiful surroundings. Great biking and hiking. Close to the Fochteloërveen.Assen not far and Norg a wonderful bike ride.
Heel fijn, en een prachtige omgeving. Heerlijk fietsen en wandelen. Vlak bij het Fochteloërveen.Assen niet ver en Norg een heerlijk fietstochtje.
We had a wonderful week. The grounds are very nice. You can always choose a shade or a place in the sun. On the site there are several "work sheds" that are messy, but, because there are also nice and funny objects, it is all together, cozy and cozy. Heter was not so quiet due to work on the road and a lock. After working hours it was very quiet because the road was closed to traffic.
We hadden een heerlijke week. Het terrein is erg mooi. Je kunt altijd kiezen voor een schaduw of een plek in de zon. Op het terrein staan verschillende "werkschuurtjes" die rommelig zijn, maar, doordat er ook leuke en grappige voorwerpen staan, is het alles bij elkaar, knus en gezellig. Heter was niet zo rustig doordat er aan de weg en aan een sluis werd gewerkt. Na de werkuren was het heel rustig, want de weg was afgesloten voor verkeer.
