Nature and surroundings

The area is perfect for wonderful hiking and cycling. The Drents-Friese Wold is known for the Bald Dunes or Aekinger Sand. This sand drift area is large enough to allow the wind to actually drift the sand. There are also several lookout towers in the area and worth climbing to experience the sunset. Lake Canada is a pleasant refreshment on a hot day. The lake is surrounded by forests and has an island. In the adjacent lake dogs are allowed to swim. From the house you can walk onto the Doldersummerveld and you can climb the watchtower.

    Well cared for, simple but complete house. Very nice for our family, also very suitable for people with smaller children. Plenty to do and relax. And the funny shape of the house completes the experience.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    Lovely cottage in the woods near the Drents-Friese Wold. We really enjoyed the house, the surroundings, the hot tub and the game cellar with table tennis and table soccer. Lots of privacy and at night it is really earth dark here, very special.

    on the house itself there is nothing to criticize

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    it is a beautiful cozy house, but very cramped for 10 people. we have seen pictures that the interior was different and better. the table in the kitchen was way too big and always had to have some people standing up to let the others pass behind it, and there were only five of us. no sofa bed seen, no 2nd bathroom and the hot tub did not work. however, there was more than enough linens.

    Everything has been thought of, for the dog(s): dog bed, drinking bowls, vacuum cleaner. But also all baby equipment is available; cribs, bath, playpen, etc.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    Lovely quiet area with beautiful hiking areas a short drive away. Swimming lake for dogs (and people) nearby. More than spacious enough for 6 adults, with game room (table tennis, foosball) in basement and badminton outside.
