This nature house is located on the beautiful Drenthe Highlands in the heart of Drenthe. With beautiful natural areas nearby, such as the Mantingerzand, Plan Goudplevier, Boswachterij Gees, the pingoruïne the Mekelermeer, and national park the Dwingelderveld. If you walk out of the street you are in the middle of the nature reserve Mantingerveld, which is in keeping with the history of this nature house. You can enjoy hiking and cycling here. Want to go out for the day? You are close to Wildlands Adventure Zoo, the Drents Museum, the Hunebedcentrum or Kamp Westerbork. The museum village of Orvelte will take you back in time.

    Almost perfect! Clean, spacious, comfortable. The only downside is the 2 loose mattresses as someone mentioned earlier. 2 tips: it was unclear to us in advance whether we could cook for ourselves (could not be seen in the description and photos) and a sofa would not be out of place (for romance, but also if you are 4).

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Literally at the end of the street a lovely quiet and beautiful walking area. It was a beautiful Sunday, so reasonable amount of traffic passed in the street but not bothered by it.

    The cottage looks very nice from the outside. Sleeping in a box bed is a nice experience. Too bad the two 1 person mattresses were not equal so one of the two regularly lay in the space between the mattresses. The second bed in the loft was a nice place for our son to retire to for a while.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Beautiful and cozy cottage in a quiet village in Drenthe. Totally able to unwind.
