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.

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.

Nice place to relax in the middle of nature. Hosts are great people, liked talking to them and spending time with them. Finally, the wallabies...we saw them the day we arrived, we saw 4-5 of them...that made our trip very special.

Really very nicely done. Johan and Ina were very nice and welcoming. The stay felt exactly the same. Even though we were only there for two days, we felt really welcome and enjoyed our time there.
Wirklich sehr schön gemacht. Johan und Ina waren sehr nett und herzlich. Genauso hat sich der Aufenthalt auch angefühlt. Auch wenn wir nur zwei Tage da waren, haben wir uns richtig willkommen gefühlt und haben die Zeit dort genossen.
Perfect for a break from stressful everyday life. A very nice little house to just be for yourself:)
Perfekt für eine Auszeit vom stressigen Alltag. Ein sehr schönes Häuschen um einfach mal für sich zu sein:)
