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.

Walls may need some re-plastering / wallpapering.
Muren mogen wel een keer opnieuw gestucd / behangen worden.
Cottage is on a bungalow park, on the outskirts, perfectly located to explore the neighboring area directly with the dog in the morning. Through an undeveloped, adjacent vacation park you get to the nature reserve - Response from landlord Thank you for your fine review and your attentiveness! Glad to hear that you liked the location so much. We pay continuous attention to the maintenance of our vacation home. For example, the stucco and wallpaper are fine, just not new. Of course we take your feedback to heart and include it in our ongoing plans for improvement. The adjacent property has not been developed for over 15 years and there are no concrete plans for the future although attempts have been made. Nature has now fully taken its course - it is teeming with plants and animals. While walking we regularly encounter deer, and the area connects beautifully with the surrounding forest and heathland. In practice, it is precisely this piece of "forgotten nature" that makes the area so particularly peaceful and green.
Huisje staat op een bungalowpark, aan de rand, perfect gelegen om s’ochtends direct met de hond het aangrenzende gebied te verkennen. Via een niet tot ontwikkeling gekomen, naastgelegen vakantiepark kom je in het natuurgebied.
- Reactie van verhuurder
Bedankt voor uw fijne recensie en uw opmerkzaamheid! Fijn om te horen dat de ligging zo goed beviel.
Wij besteden continu aandacht aan het onderhoud van ons vakantiehuis. Zo zijn de stuc en het behang in orde, alleen niet nieuw. Natuurlijk nemen we uw feedback ter harte en nemen we dit mee in onze voortdurende plannen voor verbetering.
Het naastgelegen terrein is al meer dan 15 jaar niet in ontwikkeling en er zijn ook geen concrete plannen voor de toekomst al heeft men dit wel geprobeerd. De natuur heeft inmiddels volledig haar gang kunnen gaan — het wemelt er van de planten en dieren. Tijdens het wandelen komen we regelmatig reeën tegen, en het gebied sluit prachtig aan op het omliggende bos en de heide. In de praktijk maakt juist dit stukje ‘vergeten natuur’ de omgeving zo bijzonder rustig en groen.This text is automatically translated. -

It is such an incredibly tastefully decorated cottage though! Atmospheric, attention to detail and comfortable. It is in a the far corner of a park, lots of privacy, nice terraces around the house itself. Good (art and photo) books, nice beds, special art. This cottage is one of the most beautiful nature houses I have been to.
Het is wel zo'n ongelooflijk smaakvol ingericht huisje! Sfeervol, oog voor detail en comfortabel. Het ligt in een de uiterste hoek van een park, veel privacy, mooie terrasjes rondom het huis zelf.
Goede (kunst- en foto) boeken, fijne bedden, bijzondere kunst. Dit huisje is een van de mooiste natuurhuisjes waar ik geweest ben.The cottage is in a beautiful area, we mostly hiked in the vicinity of Landgoed de Havixhorst and have never seen so many storks together as there. The landscape is lovely, the farmlands (and country houses) beautiful.
Het huisje ligt in een prachtige omgeving, we hebben vooral gewandeld in de omgeving van Landgoed de Havixhorst en hebben nog nooit zo veel ooievaars bij elkaar gezien als daar. Het landschap is lieflijk, de landerijen (en landhuizen) prachtig.
