Nature and surroundings

This nature house is located in the beautiful Drenthe Highlands, in the heart of Drenthe. There are lovely nature areas nearby, such as the Mantingerzand, Plan Goudplevier, Boswachterij Gees, the pingo ruins, the Mekelermeer, and the Dwingelderveld National Park. When you walk down the street, you’ll find yourself right in the middle of the Mantingerveld nature reserve, which ties in with the history of this nature house. It’s a wonderful place for walking and biking. Want to take a day trip? You’re close to Wildlands Adventure Zoo, the Drents Museum, the Hunebedcentrum, or Kamp Westerbork. In the museum village of Orvelte, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Westerbork, Beilen, and Hoogeveen are great places for shopping. Tee off at the Martensplek golf course. You can enjoy a cup of coffee with homemade apple pie at “Bi’j Oons” in the village. You can also enjoy an ice cream at Talenti in Gees, a delicious meal at De Voscheheugte in Mantinge, or at Pizzeria Restorante Trivio Del Villagio in Meppen.

    It's located within a small village. Really close to nice hiking trails.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The house was very nice, thought-through and clean. Everything you need is there. The village is small and the house is located closely to beautiful hiking trails. We really loved it!

    A wonderful place for a short getaway

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A charming, cozy little house with plenty of space. It’s fun to sleep in a box bed and in the attic. It’s well insulated, so there are no drafts.

    General rating: 8 /10

    A charming little cottage, both inside and out. Comfortable seating, a small kitchenette where you can easily cook. The lighting above the sink could be better.
    If you need to use the bathroom at night, it’s a bit awkward to get in and out of the box bed; the two separate mattresses aren’t great.
    Since we’re not fans of Senseo, we brought our own coffee maker.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage is in a very quiet location, with plenty of options for hiking and biking. The trail junctions are very close by, and you just have to walk a short distance down the street to find yourself in the middle of nature.
