Nature and surroundings

Uylenhorst is located in the woods on the border of the province of Drenthe with Overijssel near the border river the Reest, an ancient stream valley. The Reest still has its original course with a very unique character with hay meadows, fields, heaths, forests, estates and monumental farms. In a nearby forest, De Zwarte dennen, you can enjoy walking and wildlife spotting. In season you can even take a refreshing dip in natural water. Special National Parks such as De Weerribben-Wieden and Dwingelderveld can be found in the region. You can also visit special gardens such as the gardens of Mien Ruys and the garden of estate De Havixhorst. For more culture, the trendy Hanseatic city of Zwolle is nearby. Meppel is within cycling distance and is a cozy and lively provincial town with surprising stores, terraces and several restaurants. The house is located in a fireworks-free nature park and is well insulated only we have no influence on the further environment.

    Not only did we feel right at home, but the landlords are always available and helpful with questions and possible problems (which we didn't have). We can recommend this Nature house without reservation - there is nothing missing here and we will certainly and gladly book it again.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A beautiful vacation home in the middle of a small vacation home development (which you hardly notice). We felt very welcome as soon as we arrived and this continued throughout our stay. Out of the door, there is direct access to a small pond and behind it a newly wooded part of the complex with access to the adjoining forest. Our dog and we never got bored throughout our stay due to the variety of things to do and we really enjoyed this gem of nature. This Nature house is at the top of our list of favorites - it was our most beautiful Nature house so far!
