Hidden behind rhododendrons is our guest cottage completely private. The cottage is surrounded by the greenery of our 1 acre lush woodland garden and overlooks our own forest. This is where nature comes to you, both literally and figuratively. A stay in the comfortable guesthouse brings you to a standstill. Experience peace and quiet and darkness. Marvel at the wallabies that have their home in this area and in our garden. The cottage has a cozy living room, a spacious double bedroom with Tempur mattresses, a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a two-burner stove, coffee machine and all kitchen utensils. The relaxation room with single bed has its own toilet, shower and sauna (sauna to be booked on site). Minimum stay 2 nights.The cottage is also ideal for rest and meditation (watching TV is possible with own account data).
Nature and surroundings
Makkinga is located in the southeast corner of Friesland, at the intersection of the border of Drenthe and Friesland. Within cycling distance of our cottage you will find a number of impressive nature reserves such as the Drents-Friese Wold and the Fochtelooerveen. For guests who love nature, hiking and cycling, this area is ideal. National Park Drents-Friese Wold is, after the Veluwe, the largest contiguous nature reserve in the Netherlands. Besides forest, the Drents-Friese Wold is especially known for the drifting sand area De Kale Duinen (the Aekingerzand). The Drents Friese-Wold is excellent for short and long walks and cycling tours via cycle junctions. In the Fochtelooerveen the crane breeds and the observation tower offers a fantastic view. Ideal for bird spotters. Shopping cities such as Groningen and Leeuwarden are also within easy reach from Makkinga. For interesting museums you don't have to drive far. Oosterwolde, for daily shopping, is 5 minutes away by car.

We had everything we needed in the cottage. It was fully equipped, making it easy to unwind.
Wij kwamen niks tekort in het huisje. Van veel gemakken voorzien waardoor je kan onthaasten.
We had a really lovely and comfortable stay. It’s a quiet place where you can truly unwind. There’s a garden to enjoy, with plenty to explore. A truly wonderful stay!
Wij hebben een heel fijn en comfortabel verblijf gehad. Een stille plek waar je echt tot rust komt. Een tuin om van te genieten en waar genoeg te ontdekken valt. Echt een fijn verblijf!

Of course, there is always something to whine about; we also watched Bed & Breakfast on MAX. Most of it is probably personal preference. Mattress is a bit soft and a quiet fan not a necessary investment on hot days (in the bedroom). We did not miss hooks! :-)
Er is natuurlijk altijd wat te zeuren, we hebben ook Bed & Breakfast gekeken op MAX. Het meeste is waarschijnlijk persoonlijke voorkeur. Matras is wat zacht en een stille ventilator geen overbodige investering op warme dagen (in de slaapkamer). We misten geen haakjes! :-)
Spacious cottage in and adjacent to a literal forest with some maintained paths, flora and fauna. Clean, neat and equipped with some entertainment such as, for example, super many books and CDs (yes indeed, my nineties love was triggered again effe). TV with some apps and internet is fine. The sitting area, kitchen and sitting area is all just fine. The view on the other hand is fantastic. Especially the early morning was rewarded with the fauna surprise there, walibies by the terrace! They hopping around a bit and doing their thing (eating the flower beds empty and scratching their bellies at an appropriate distance). Very cute, you can peek at them for hours. Further on in the woods cq the garden is a canopy with bench, chairs and tables that makes your walibi spotting comfortable. Above all, bring your bikes to race through the area, gravel, MTB or just quietly pedal. We were very pleased.
Ruim opgezet huisje in en aan een letterlijk bos met wat onderhouden paadjes, flora en fauna. Schoon, netjes en voorzien van wat entertainment zoals bijvoorbeeld superveel boeken en cd's (jazeker wel, m'n jaren negentig liefhebberij werd weer effe getriggerd). TV met wat apps en internet is prima te gebruiken. De zithoek, de keuken en de zithoek is allemaal gewoon goed. Het uitzicht daarentegen is fantastisch. Vooral de vroege ochtend werd beloond met de fauna verrassing aldaar, walibies bij het terras! Ze hupsen wat rond en doen op gepaste afstand hun ding (de perkjes leeg eten en krabben aan hun buik). Erg leuk, kan je uren naar gluren. Verderop in het bos cq de tuin staat een overkapping met bank, stoelen en tafels die je walibi spotten gerieflijk maakt.
Neem vooral je fietsen mee om door de omgeving te racen, gravelen, MTB-en of gewoon rustig te pedaleren.

Very nice experience and very hospitable reception. Within cycling distance of several very beautiful natural areas.Highly recommended.
Hele mooie ervaring en erg gastvrij ontvangen.
Op fietsafstand van meerdere erg mooie natuurgebieden.
Echte aanrader.What a lovely cottage. Cottage is fully equipped, with a huge garden (with indeed Walibis). Quiet location, beautiful terraces in several places in the garden. Bordering a state forestry.
Wat een heerlijk huisje. Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien, met een enorme grote tuin (met inderdaad Walibi’s). Rustig gelegen, mooie terrassen op meerdere plekken in de tuin.
Grenzend aan een staatsbosbeheer bos.This text is automatically translated.
