Nature and surroundings
This estate on the Hondsrug is a unique and peaceful place. We cherish that peace and quiet, and we count on you to help preserve it. The property covers 8 hectares and is surrounded by fields, directly bordering the forests and heathlands of Odoorn. There are also three other small, detached nature houses on the property, located right on the water. (See also our Hendriksveen website.) You can take a lovely walk and explore the area around Hendriksveen. You can also lose yourself in the labyrinth of Drenthe boulders. However, most of the grounds are a nature reserve. The various pools are home to many toads, frogs, and salamanders. Notably, the rare common spadefoot toad has also made its home here. You’ll also find sundew and many royal ferns there. There are several spots where you can sit back and relax, watch the scenery, or meditate. From Hendriksveen, you can go for endless walks and bike rides. The nearby town of Odoorn offers excellent amenities.

The apartment looks even better than in the photos. Everything is decorated with love and attention to detail, featuring lots of beautiful handmade items. As soon as you check in, you’ll feel calm and relaxed, just like at home.
The apartment is part of the owner’s house, but it’s completely separate; you have your own private terrace and private access to the water. The owners truly value your privacy and make your stay incredibly comfortable.
For those who don’t have a car or don’t want to rent one, the place is very close to Odoorn and Emmen. We took the train to Emmen, rented bikes there, and enjoyed a nice ride (~40 minutes). Odoorn is 10–15 minutes away by bike, and you can find everything you need there.
And of course, enjoying a tranquil evening on a raft on the pond is an unbelievable experience.The apartment looks better than on photos. Everything is decorated with love and care for details, with lots of beautiful handmade things. You check in and immediately feel calm and relaxed like at home.

I stayed in the guesthouse, but from what I could see, all four cottages on the property are equally beautiful! Each one is unique and expertly built. The focus is entirely on experiencing nature and the tranquility. A beautiful nature trail has been created around the Hendriksveen, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll. And the most brilliant idea is the private raft moored at each cottage, which you can use to float on the lake. Actually, the cottage has only one drawback: that you have to leave again…
Ik verbleef in het gastenverblijf maar wat ik kon zien zijn alle 4 de huisjes op het terrein even mooi! Allemaal uniek, en vakkundig gebouwd. Alle aandacht gaat naar de natuurbeleving en de stilte. Rondom het Hendriksveen is een mooi kijkpad gemaakt waar je heerlijk kunt struinen. En het meest briljante idee is het eigen vlot dat bij ieder huisje ligt, waarmee je op de plas kunt dobberen. Eigenlijk heeft het huisje maar een nadeel: dat je er ook weer weg moet..,
You'll be staying in a little slice of paradise. Beautiful, unique, and expertly built cottages that embrace nature. Everything is just perfect! It's wonderfully quiet in a stunning setting.
And your host, Frans, makes you feel completely at home the moment you arrive.Je verblijft er in een mini-paradijsje. Prachtige, unieke en vakkundig gebouwde huisjes met de focus op de natuurlijk. Alles klopt gewoon! Het is heerlijk stil in een schitterende omgeving.
En de gastheer Frans maakt dat je je bij aankomst al helemaal thuis voelt.This text is automatically translated. -
