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.

Beautiful, spacious house on the ground floor; the bedrooms are a bit small. The shower is nice and spacious. The living room and kitchen are well-equipped (large stove, plenty of good-quality pots and pans, plenty of dishes) and feature a separate seating area by the TV and a very spacious table that seats 6+ people. Large patio with a big table (seats 6+ people) and chairs, and a separate patio with lounge chairs.
Mooi ruim huis beneden, slaapkamers wat klein. Douche is goed en ruim. Woonkamer en keuken zijn goed en bieden voldoende middelen (groot fornuis, veel en goede pannen / bestel, voldoende servies,) en een aparte zithoek bij de TV en een zeer ruime tafel voor 6+ personen. Groot terras met grote tafel (6+ personen) en stoelen en nog apart terras met lounge bedden.
A charming little house in a beautiful setting. The garden surrounds the house and offers both sun and shade. You can walk straight into the woods from the garden.
Een mooi huisje in een prachtige omgeving. Tuin om het huis met altijd zon en schaduw. Direct vanuit de tuin het bos in.

We had a wonderful weekend at Cottage Uylenhorst. The house and the peaceful surroundings in the woods are amazing. The house has everything you could possibly need: a 6-burner stove, plenty of kitchenware and tableware, books, games, and a fireplace. And the woods start right outside your door. From the patio, you can watch squirrels scampering about in the afternoon. It was a short stay, but it really felt like a vacation!
Wij hebben een heerlijk weekend gehad in Cottage Uylenhorst. Het huis en de rustige omgeving in het bos zijn geweldig. Alles wat je maar kunt bedenken is in het huis aanwezig: een 6-pits fornuis, heel veel keukengerei en -servies, boeken, spelletjes, een open haard. En het bos begint als je de deur uitstapt. Vanaf het terras geniet je in de namiddag van de rondspringende eekhoorn. Het was kort, maar het voelde echt als vakantie!
Beautifully situated—a walk in the woods begins the moment you step out the door.
Schitterend gelegen, een boswandeling begint op het moment dat je de deur uitstapt.

It's a shame there's no fence around the garden; that means the dogs can explore the area on their own ;-)
Other than that, the cottage is car-free, so nothing dangerous can happen.Jammer dat er geen omheining rondom de tuin is, de honden kunnen daardoor zelf de omgeving onderzoeken ;-)
Verder ligt het huisje auto vrij dus er kan niks gevaarlijks gebeuren.I highly recommend it—the cottage is right next to a forest, so you don’t have to take the car if you want to go for a walk. The residents at the park were also very friendly. The cottage is fully equipped, and there were even two fans, which was really nice during that heat. It has a nice shower and a comfortable bed.
Echt een aanrader, het huisje ligt aan een bos, je hoeft dus niet de auto te pakken als je wilt wandelen, ook de bewoners op het park waren erg vriendelijk. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien, ook waren er 2 ventilatoren wat erg fijn was tijdens die hitte. Een prettige douche en een fijn bed.
