This nature house is within walking distance of the beautiful Dwingelderveld and the Ruiner Wold. To the north lies the Drents-Friese Wold, to the west the Holtingerveld and north of that the Weerribben! There is so much natural beauty here! Moreover, only an hour's travel from Amsterdam. For a longer stay, this accommodation is also ideally located. In front of our farm, a regional bus commutes every hour between Meppel and Hoogeveen. Both cities have a station, check the NS-planner.

The cottage is a lovely place to stay; it’s equipped with good, modern appliances and has a comfortable bed. And our dog had a great time in the garden while I was photographing butterflies.
Het is goed toeven in het huisje, dat voorzien is van goede moderne apparatuur en met een heerlijk bed. En onze hond heeft zich prima vermaakt in de tuin, terwijl ik vlinders fotografeerde.
The nature house is located in a peaceful setting with sweeping views of the es landscape, through which the Runer Aa flows. It’s wonderfully quiet there at night. The Dwingelderveld is a 15-minute walk from the house, where you can fully enjoy nature. The cottage itself is also perfect for nature lovers. The lawn is covered with various types of wild plants, where you can find butterflies, bees, and other insects. It’s also an ideal spot for birdwatchers thanks to the sweeping views. From the terrace and even from inside the house, you can see birds of prey, geese, ducks, spoonbills, cranes, and other species flying by. Roe deer are also regularly spotted in the meadows.
Het natuurhuisje ligt in een rustige omgeving met een wijds uitzicht over het eslandschap, waar doorheen de Runer Aa stroomt. Het is er ‘s nachts heerlijk stil. Het Dwingelderveld ligt op een kwartier wandelen van het huisje, waar je volop kunt genieten van de natuur. Het huis zelf is ook geschikt voor natuurliefhebbers. Het gazon is begroeid met verschillende soorten wilde planten, waar vlinders, bijen en andere insecten te vinden zijn. Voor vogelaars is het ook een ideale plek door het wijdse uitzicht. Vanaf het terras en zelfs vanuit het huis kan je roofvogels, ganzen, eenden, lepelaars, kraanvogels en andere soorten zien vliegen. En reeën zijn er ook regelmatig te zien in het weiland.

The cottage is beautifully and peacefully decorated. It’s fully equipped, including an espresso machine, a washer and dryer, and a TV. Friendly hosts.
Het huisje is mooi en rustig ingericht. Van alle gemakken voorzien inclusief een espresso-apparaat, wasmachtine en droger en tv. Aardige hosts.
The cottage overlooks the meadows and is located behind the farm. It’s a very peaceful area, within walking and biking distance of Ruinen. There’s a Plus supermarket and some cozy restaurants there.
Het huisje kijkt uit op de weilanden en staat achter de boerderij. Het is een hele rustige omgeving, op loop- en fietsafstand van Ruinen. Daar is een Plus en gezellige horeca.

A wonderful place to stay—it really has everything you could want, and more.
And then there’s the view—it’s so beautiful, it’s indescribable.
Ankie and Ronald are such lovely people who make you feel very welcome.
After 10 days, I didn’t want to go home. I’ll definitely be back.Heerlijk huis om te verblijven, werkelijk alles is er, en meer.
En dan het uitzicht, dat is niet te beschrijven zo mooi.
Ankie en Ronald zijn super fijne mensen die je een zeer welkom gevoel geven.
Na 10 dagen wilde ik niet meer naar huis. Ik kom zeker nog eens terug.Beautiful surroundings, with Dwingelderveld just around the corner—a great place for biking and hiking.
Prachtige omgeving, Dwingelderveld om de hoek waar je heerlijk kunt fietsen en wandelen.
