Nature and surroundings

Its unique location allows you to walk from the house through the forest in a short time to National Park Dwingelderveld, the largest contiguous wet heathland in Western Europe. There are no fewer than two flocks of sheep with shepherds who keep the heath in condition. With numerous hiking and biking opportunities in the area, this nature house is ideal for active peace seekers. The house is also the perfect base for exploring the beautiful region in addition to nature. Boating on the Weerribben, a day in Meppel or Zwolle, visit the Drents Museum or Remembrance Center Camp Westerbork? Tip: outdoor pool in Ruinen! In the immediate vicinity of this nature house are three more beautiful villages: Dwingeloo (most beautiful village green Drenthe), Diever (gateway Drents-Friese Wold) and Havelte (2 dolmens). In all these places and in Ruinen itself are numerous stores and restaurants. The village of Ruinen is located in southwest Drenthe. In nearby Meppel is the nearest NS railway station.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
