Nature and surroundings
Diever has over 2000 inhabitants and has belonged to the municipality of Westerveld since 1998. In the area where the cottage is now located, people already lived 6000 years ago. Late Stone Age farmers built a dolmen here close to a hunebed, which is still there. The village of Diever was founded in the early Middle Ages. The name Diever was first mentioned in 1181. People then speak of the village Devere or Deveren, which actually means depth or lowness. In the Middle Ages Diever was the main town of the Dieverdingspel*, which covered the entire area of Southwest Drenthe. (* Dingspel is a former jurisdiction in the province of Drenthe)National Park Drents-Friese Wold.This National Park, in which the nature house is located, is one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands.

Prima huisje voor een weekendje weg.
Schoon en voorzien van wat je nodig hebt. Duidelijke informatie over aankomst en benodigdheden.
Mooie omgeving.Nature, peace & environment:Cottage with a spacious garden, on a small park, adjacent to the forest.At this time it was nice and quiet.
Huisje met een ruime tuin, op een kleinschalig parkje, grenzend aan het bos.In deze periode was het lekker rustig.

Bettina November 28, 2025 General rating:No ten because you have to bring your own towels and bedding. This makes it difficult to arrive without a car.
Geen tien omdat je zelf handdoeken en beddengoed mee moet nemen. Dat maakt het lastig om zonder auto te komen.
Nature, peace & environment:We very much enjoyed staying in the cottage. It is cozy and comfortable, despite its simplicity. That simplicity, by the way, is also part of its charm. The cottage, from 1966, still has very many original elements. For example, the kitchen. How wonderful that it still has the old cabinets and a nice little bar! Even the bathroom is still in its original place, but there is a very nice shower and a modern toilet. The double bed is fine. We did not use the beds in the children's room. If you want to use the beautiful fireplace, you have to bring your own wood. The fridge (nice and spacious) is in the hallway, which I don't find a problem. There is no dishwasher, but to wash dishes in the cozy (open) kitchenette with a view of the forest is not a punishment. Nice and nostalgic! The garden is large, also a spacious driveway for the car and the surroundings are beautiful. Do bring your own towels, bed linen and dish towels. I found that a bit of a hassle. All in all, highly recommended!
We hebben met heel veel plezier in het huisje gelogeerd. Het is gezellig en comfortabel, ondanks de eenvoud. Die eenvoud is trouwens ook een deel van de charme. Het huisje, uit 1966, heeft nog zeer veel originele elementen. Bijvoorbeeld de keuken. Wat geweldig dat de oude kastjes er nog in zitten en zo n leuk barretje! Ook de badkamer zit nog op de oorspronkelijke plek, maar er is wel een heel fijne douche en een modern toilet. Het tweepersoonsbed ligt prima. De bedden in de kinderkamer hebben we niet gebruikt. Als je van de mooie open haard gebruik wilt maken, moet je zelf hout meenemen. De koelkast (lekker ruim) is op de gang, wat ik geen probleem vind. Er is geen vaatwasser, maar om in het knusse (open) keukentje af te wassen met blik op het bos is geen straf. Lekker nostalgisch juist! De tuin is groot, ook een ruime oprit voor de auto en de omgeving is prachtig. Wel zelf handdoeken, beddengoed en vaatdoeken meenemen. Dat vond ik wel een beetje gedoe. Al met al een echter aanrader!
