Where it is still really dark at night and you are woken up by the cock crowing is our farm in the beautiful Reestdal. In the granary we have an attractive spacious apartment for 2 persons. (Entirely ground floor) built. The nature house is part of our farm, where we have horses, cats and 2 dogs. It has its own entrance, own kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom, toilet, a garden, terrace with lovely chairs and private parking. You can also sit down in different places in the garden and yard and in trees, where you have a view of the horses, the meadows and the Staphorster Forest. In the evening you can see the sun set behind the forest. Bed and hand linen is included, a baby crib can be added.

Nature and surroundings

The Reest valley is an authentic valley with ancient features, through which the small river Reest meanders and forms the border between Drenthe and Overijssel. An area to enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding or just enjoy the tranquility. The farm is located near hiking/riding trails and a junction route for cyclists. You have a view of elongated fields, meadows and the Staphorster forest where we regularly spot deer, birds of prey and of course storks.

    Unfortunately there was a lot of dog poop, which took some watching. We could sit anywhere but the hedges were in need of a trim, the passageway was prickly....

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fine, just too bad about all the lights that stayed on at night too. It was very hot and it would be nice to have a fan in the bedroom. There is not really much ventilation possible. The bedroom door jammed tremendously, needed my weight to open it. Also a pity that the garden doors could not open. Incidentally, the exterior could have been lapped, it looked very dirty, not really representative ...

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We spent a long weekend enjoying the hospitality of Marian and Gerard in the nature house 'The Granary'. We lacked nothing. The space, the peace, the horses, the storks and the treasures of dogs give you a wonderful feeling of getting away from it all. The cottage is part of the old stable and is very practically furnished with authentic features. If something is missing it is immediately repaired and Marian and Gerard are very accessible, willing and more than that. The other spaces of the old stable are surprising and I will not reveal here, but there are more nature houses hidden. The area is lovely and rural, easily accessible and there is plenty of parking on the property and we were allowed to use private areas where you can end up in surprising places in the garden and greet the horses. The location is nicely central for trips to Meppel, Zwolle or the south of the Drenthe countryside. See you soon again!

    Rarely have we met such warmth and cordiality as with Marian and Gerard. How nice that the nature house is located on a farm. It really makes you feel part of nature.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a fantastic natural environment with views from the charming orchard across the green meadows where the horses form an idyllic picture. The hospitality of Marian and Gerard (along with their wonderfully enthusiastic and cheerful dogs) is heartwarming. A real welcome that you in everyday life long forgotten by all the hustle and bustle is waiting for you here. In the vicinity is more than enough to do: hiking, cycling, mountain biking, charming towns to visit. We have thoroughly enjoyed and it was a weekend with a golden edge. Thank you for this wonderful experience with the concept of nature house!
