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 find several places to sit 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.

Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy peace and quiet.
Zeker een aanrader voor iedereen die wil genieten van rust en ruimte.
It was enjoyable at the Granary. What a nice place to stay for a few days. Countless places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The Granary itself was fully equipped. Slept wonderfully and everything we needed was there.
Het was genieten in de Graanschuur. Wat een leuke plek om een paar dagen te verblijven. Talloze plekjes om te zitten en te genieten van de omgeving. De Graanschuur zelf was van alle gemakken voorzien. Heerlijk geslapen en alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig.

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....
Helaas lag er veel hondenpoep, dat was even opletten. We konden overal zitten maar de hagen waren wel aan een knipbeurt toe, de doorgang was prikkelbaar...
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 ...
Prima, alleen jammer van al het licht dat snachts ook bleef branden. Het was heel warm en het zou fijn zijn als er een ventilator in de slaapkamer zou staan. Er is niet echt veel ventilatie mogelijk. De slp kamer deur klemde enorm, had mn gewicht nodig om die te openen. Ook wel jammer dat de tuindeuren niet open konden. Overigens had de buitenboel wel even gelapt kunnen worden, dat zag er heel vuil uit, niet echt representatief..

See above.
Zie hierboven.
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!
Wij hebben een lang weekend genoten van de gastvrijheid van Marian en Gerard in het natuurhuisje ‘De Graanschuur’. Het heeft ons aan niets ontbroken. De ruimte, de rust, de paarden, de ooievaars en de schatten van honden geven je een heerlijk gevoel er even uit te zijn. Het huisje is onderdeel van de oude stal en is zeer praktisch ingericht met authentieke kenmerken. Als er iets ontbreekt wordt dit direct hersteld en Marian en Gerard zijn zeer toegankelijk en goed bereikbaar, bereidwillig en meer dan dat. De de overige ruimtes van de oude stal zijn verrrassend en ga ik hier niet verklappen, maar er zijn nog meer natuurhuisjes verborgen. De omgeving is heerlijk landelijk, goed bereikbaar en op het terrein is voldoende parkeerruimte en wij mochten zelf privé gedeeltes gebruiken waar je heerlijk op verrassende plekjes in de tuin beland en de paarden kan begroeten. De ligging is mooi centraal voor uitstapjes naar Meppel, Zwolle of het zuiden van het Drentse landschap. Tot snel weer!
