Nature and surroundings
Odoorn is located on the Hondsrug in Drenthe. On the Hondsrug and thus around Odoorn there are several nature reserves. Just north of Odoorn - this is where the tent house looks out - are the Odoornerdennen. This forest is located on a former sand drift. Once this forest was created by the farmers to put an end to the nuisance of the drifting sand on the fields. Now it is a beautiful and varied nature reserve. In several places there are still beautiful moors with large juniper bushes. These parts used to be too hilly to reclaim.Just past Odoorn is the UNESCO Global Geopark. Here the story is told of the unique landscape of East Drenthe with a history dating back to the Ice Age, where ice and melting water created the landscape of ridges and stream valleys with the many boulders from Scandinavia. These boulders were used 5,000 years ago by the Hunebed builders to construct their burial monuments, which we now call the dolmens.

The cottage is very cozy and tastefully decorated. It is nice and warm, even when it is freezing outside. I sat there snowed in, which was really not a punishment! A wonderful place to completely unwind
Het huisje is heel gezellig en smaakvol ingericht. Het is er lekker warm, ook als het vriest buiten. Ik heb er ingesneeuwd gezeten, wat echt geen straf was! Een heerlijke plek om helemaal tot rust te komen
Directly from the cottage You walk straight into the forest. There are many beautiful walks in the immediate vicinity. It is quiet and peaceful, even at night (except for the tawny owl).
Direct vanuit het huisje loop
Je zo het bos in. Er zijn veel prachtige wandelingen te maken in de directe omgeving. Het is stil en rustig, ook ‘s nachts (op de bosuil na)This text is automatically translated. -

1 point extra if you can pick up the earlier tips
1 puntje extra als je de eerdere tips kan oppakken
Lovely cottage, kind of Safari cabin. Well furnished and well insulated. We walked into the woods towards Valthe and Exloo. The village Odoorn is actually behind the house so shopping is within walking distance. Any electric charging of your EV car can be at the Plus supermarket, there are 2 fast chargers. On New Year's Eve was for the cottage with Carbide shooting which was cool to do once yourself but also how the team took into account guests of the cottages, and especially the dogs. For a wonderful week in winter and snow as an added bonus. Each cottage you have the ability to make a fire outside, the wood is under a hatch of the terrace. We found that only the second last day.Tip, make sure you have a night lock on the door. Now only an electric day lock, which sometimes stays open. Tip, make a shelf for lay clothes high above or next to the bed.
Heerlijk huisje, soort Safari cabin. Prima ingericht en goed geïsoleerd. We wandelden zo het bos in richting Valthe en Exloo. Het dorp Odoorn ligt eigenlijk achter het huisje zodat boodschappen doen op loopafstand is. Eventueel elektrisch laden van je EV auto kan bij de Plus supermarkt, daar staan 2 snelladers.
Op oudejaarsdag werd voor het huisje met Carbid geschoten wat gaaf was om een keer zelf te doen maar ook hoe het team rekening hield met gasten van de huisjes, en vooral met de honden.
Voor een heerlijke week in de winter en sneeuw als extraatje.
Elk huisje heb je de mogelijkheid om buiten een vuurtje te maken, het hout ligt onder een luikje van het terras. Dat vonden wij pas de één na laatste dag.
Tip, zorg voor een nachtafsluiting op de deur. Nu alleen een elektrisch dagschoot, die soms open blijft.
Tip, maak een plank voor legkleding hoog boven of naast het bed.This text is automatically translated. -

A very nice capcabin that is especially well insulated and neatly clean. Fine place to be and especially a plus that the dog could come along.
Een erg fijne capcabin die vooral goed geïsoleerd is en keurig netjes schoon. Fijne plek om te zijn en vooral ook een plus dat de hond mee kon.
A great nice place to unwind with unobstructed views of the meadows. There is a lot of nature within immediate walking distance.
Een geweldig fijne plek om te onthaasten met vrij uitzicht op de weilanden. Er is veel natuur op directe loopafstand.
