Our guest house, is rightly a nature house. It lies in the stream valley of the Drentse Aa, just outside the municipal boundary of Ruinen, a beautiful village in Drenthe. On the Brink you will find cozy cafes and brasseries. You can park in the yard of our Saxon farm from 1840 The accommodation, at the southern end of a large barn with completely unobstructed views, autonomous and fully equipped. Through the glass front, a very far view of rolling ash fields and the (Ruiner) Runer Aa. You can find complete rest here and see many a.o. deer! On request and free of charge we can put a crib down and in case of problems with climbing stairs you can sleep downstairs. We also offer free of charge two bicycles and an air conditioner, great on hot days. Come and enjoy all year round on our always beautiful Dwingelder- and Holtingerveld and all other great, surrounding nature reserves. The supermarket is behind the Brink at 700m distance. Our cottage has wonderful floor heating....

Nature and surroundings

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. Should you not want to leave, you can cook, lounge and binchen (Netflix, free wifi) on our fine large TV. There is a luxury kitchen and outside free use of firebowl and bbq. There is no need (our idea for a relaxing weekend or vacation) to purchase anything for living (including kitchen spices, oil, matches, toilet paper). And bed, bath and kitchen linen, air conditioning and bikes, all included in the price....

    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.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Beautiful surroundings, with Dwingelderveld just around the corner—a great place for biking and hiking.
