Our farmhouse consists of a front section with its own entrance, which is rented out as a nature house (for €95 per night), and a rear section where we live. The front section is heated by a heat pump and, if necessary, a small Norwegian wood stove. The layout of the nature house is as follows: entryway with a toilet, kitchen with a dining table, living room with a box bed, and upstairs, a bedroom with a sink and shower. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave/oven combo, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The living room has a TV/radio and a fiber-optic internet connection. The living room also features a box bed with doors, suitable for two children or one adult. Two bicycles with gears are available. The farm grounds cover approximately 1 hectare and include a horse arena and two Icelandic horses. Eggs from our chickens are available free of charge while supplies last. Bed, bath, and kitchen linens are provided. For longer stays, guests may use the washing machine and dryer.

Nature and surroundings

Here, you can relax outdoors and enjoy the peace and quiet. The farm is located 600 meters outside the village on a side road in a small nature reserve managed by Drents Landschap. From the farm, you can go for walks and bike rides, for example around the Zuidlaardermeer or into the Kop van Drente. Also nearby is the new Tusschenwater nature reserve, located on the Zuidlaardermeer, where you can take walks and enjoy the many species of birds. The Zuidlaardermeer offers many recreational activities, such as swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, canoeing, or sailing. By car, you can visit Groningen or Assen, both of which have many attractions. The Wildlands animal park is located in Emmen. Visits to the Boomkroonpad and the Hunebed Museum in Borger are also well worth your time. In the front room, you’ll find a folder with various brochures about Groningen and Drenthe to help you plan your activities. If needed, we can pick you up from and drop you off at the bus stop in Zuidlaren or the train station in Kropswolde.

    General rating: 9 /10

    In addition to relaxing, we also did a lot in the area: hiking, biking, swimming in the Zuidlaardermeer, visiting the city of Groningen, exploring the beautiful Fraeylemaborg nearby, and so on.

    The cottage itself has a laid-back charm; it’s nice and comfortable, and it’s a great place to unwind.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A wonderfully relaxing stay in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but the sound of rustling trees and geese flying overhead near the cottage.

    A clean and tidy cottage. Friendly hosts. Not suitable if you have difficulty walking.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Quietly situated among the fields. A wooded area surrounds the house.

    It's a great little house

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The cottage is part of a farm, but it's neat and well-maintained.
    It was extremely hot, which unfortunately took a bit of the fun out of it.
