Your stay always includes made-up beds, towels, and kitchen linens. In the shared utility area, you can use a washer and dryer.

Dine, enjoy a drink, and be back here on the property in just a few steps.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located on the quiet side of Dwingelderveld National Park. You can hike here for hours without running into a single person. Here, you can spot wildlife such as roe deer, hares, and foxes. For birdwatchers, the area is a paradise. You can spot sparrowhawks, goshawks, hobby falcons, kestrels, and honey buzzards here. During the winter season, you can also see blue harriers, merlins (small falcons), peregrine falcons, and rough-legged buzzards. And, of course, don’t forget the crane. In late July and early August, you can admire the purple splendor of the heather, and in the fall, experience Drenthe’s “Indian Summer” with its stunning foliage colors. Right in front of the farm are the signs for the “Cycling and Hiking” junction network. The route through Het Dwingerderveld has been voted the most beautiful cycling route in the Netherlands for the third year in a row.

    Highly recommended for nature lovers, those seeking peace and quiet, cyclists, and foodies!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A lovely, homey, "well-kept" farmhouse, fully equipped and surrounded by peace and quiet, great tits, horses, and organic flowers—even inside in vases, etc. A warm and friendly host!
