Our charming nature house is located on our property, where we live with our family. Thanks to the trees and lush greenery, you’ll enjoy complete privacy and tranquility here. Inside, it’s warm and cozy, with a wood stove that instantly creates a pleasant atmosphere. The Kota sleeps two people and, with the sofa bed, can accommodate up to three. The Kota is most comfortable for two people. Outside, you’ll find a private patio with a fire pit. Firewood is included so you can start enjoying it right away. You’ll have exclusive access to the nature house and the wellness area, which features a sauna, shower, relaxation room, and dry toilet. The sauna is available for thirty-five euros per 2-hour session. There is no running water, but you’ll receive a generous supply of water that’s easy to refill. Towels and bedding are provided. Upon request, I’ll bake fresh rolls for a peaceful start to your day. A place to slow down, relax, and disconnect completely for a while.
Nature and surroundings
The accommodation is located in Hebelermeer, a small and quiet village near the Dutch border. Here, you can enjoy the open spaces and the countryside, with plenty of nature all around you. You’ll be staying in the heart of the unique Moor Veenland and Bargerveen nature reserve, a vast peatland landscape featuring open plains, heathland, water, and unique flora and fauna. The area is ideal for long walks, bike rides, and birdwatching in an almost untouched environment. Within a short walking distance, you’ll find a small village shop for fresh bread and small daily groceries, and a restaurant where you can enjoy a simple meal or a drink. For those who enjoy exploring, the towns of Emmen, Klazienaveen, and Meppen are just a short drive away. There you’ll find a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cozy outdoor seating areas. This location combines tranquility, nature, and comfort, making it a wonderful place to unwind, explore, and truly get away from it all.

That low rating is due to the noise pollution caused by the owners themselves, who were hard at work. They were using machines that produce far too many decibels—a chainsaw!
You wouldn’t expect that from a nature house advertised as an “oasis of tranquility.” I leave home because I want to get away from the noise of neighbors doing home improvement projects, only to find myself sitting by my Finnish Kota in the middle of all that noise. Because of that, I couldn’t relax at all—or hardly at all. It wasn’t until day three, when the pressure washer was turned on right next to our patio, that I finally complained—and only then did the noise stop.
The location is beautiful, and they’re certainly making something nice of it, but it shouldn’t be rented out as a “nature house” just yet. Certainly not for 100 euros a night.
I also thought the breakfast, at 10 euros per person, was very expensive. There wasn’t enough quark for two people, and there was no juice or fresh fruit included. The homemade bread was tasty, but the rolls were too dry and lacked fiber.Die lage beoordeling komt door de geluidsoverlast die werd veroorzaakt door de eigenaren zelf die druk aan het werk waren. Ze deden dat met machines die veel te veel decibel produceren - motorzaag!
Bij een Natuurhuisje waarmee wordt geadverteerd dat je in ‘een oase van rust’ terecht komt, verwacht je dat niet. Ik ga weg van huis omdat ik weg wil van de herrie van de klussende buren, zit ik bij mijn Finse Kota in het lawaai. Ik kwam daardoor niet of nauwelijks tot rust. Toen op dag drie de hogedrukreiniger werd aangezet naast ons terras, pas toen ben ik gaan klagen en stopte het lawaai.
De plek is prachtig en ze maken er ook wel wat moois van, maar het zou nu nog niet verhuurd mogen worden als Natuurhuisje. Zeker niet voor 100 euro per nacht.
Verder vond ik het ontbijt van 10 euro per persoon erg duur. De kwark was te weinig voor 2 personen en er was geen sap bij of vers fruit. Het zelfgebakken brood was lekker, maar de broodjes waren te droog en zonder vezels.The cottage was really, really small and hot to stay in. There was a mattress in a loft with no window or ventilation, which made it almost unbearable in that heat. Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep well. The couch is very uncomfortable and not good for your back. We asked for outdoor cushions, and those were just fine.
The location is beautiful! The tall trees are a wonderful place to relax under during the daytime heat.
Unfortunately, the owners were working a lot in the garden. For two days, our peace and quiet was rudely disrupted by a chainsaw being used to build a wooden structure, and then on the third day, when the pressure washer was turned on to remove moss from the roof tiles, I went to ask the owner if the noise could stop. It was very stressful for me. I had expected to receive a discount because of the inconvenience. René said, “It is a working farm,” but that isn’t mentioned anywhere. In that case, they should either wait to host guests until the work is finished or warn people in advance and offer a discount or something similar.
- Response from the host
We’re sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant experience during your stay. After you mentioned on day three that you were experiencing noise disturbances, we immediately stopped the work that you found disruptive. Our extensive organic breakfast is usually very well received; we’ll definitely consider adding fruit and juice.Het huisje was wel héél erg klein en warm om in te verblijven. Er lag een matras op een vliering zonder raam of ventilatie, waardoor het met die hitte bijna niet te doen was. Ik heb slecht geslapen helaas. De bank zit heel slecht en is niet goed voor je rug. Voor buiten hebben we om kussens gevraagd en dat zat prima.
De plek is prachtig! De hoge bomen zijn heerlijk om onder te vertoeven met die hitte overdag.
Helaas waren de eigenaren veel aan het werk in de tuin. Twee dagen werd onze rust ruw verstoord door een motorzaag waarmee een balken constructie werd gebouwd en toen op de 3e dag de hogedrukspuit aanging om de dakpannen van mos te ontdoen, ben ik gaan vragen aan de eigenaar of de herrie kon stoppen. Ik had er veel stress van. Ik had verwacht korting te krijgen vanwege het ongemak. René zei: ‘het is wel een werkboerderij’, maar dat staat nergens vermeld. Dan moeten ze wachten met gasten ontvangen totdat het klaar is of de mensen van te voren waarschuwen en korting geven ofzo.
- Reactie van de verhuurder
Wat vervelend dat jullie het verblijf zo hebben ervaren. Nadat jullie op dag drie aangaven geluidsoverlast te ervaren, zijn we direct gestopt met de werkzaamheden die door jullie als hinderlijk werden ervaren. Ons uitgebreide biologische ontbijt wordt doorgaans zeer goed ontvangen; de toevoeging van fruit en sap zullen we zeker in overweging nemen.This text is automatically translated. -

What a wonderful place this is! We stayed on the property with an inspiring family. They’ve planted a vegetable garden where you’re welcome to pick herbs, and there are ducks, chickens, and cats roaming around. You’re surrounded by greenery everywhere, and there’s plenty of space to sit outside. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, who gave us a tour and immediately told us how it all came to be. The Kota was fully equipped, clean, and cozy, and we were able to cook just fine in the little kitchen. The dry toilet was clean, and it was nice not having to walk far like you do at a campground. At our request, we were able to use the sauna, including the relaxation area, and it was heated up for us. We settled into the soft, high bed to relax. At 9:00 a.m., we were woken up to a delicious breakfast of freshly baked bread, homemade muesli, yogurt, homemade jam, and hard-boiled eggs. The next day, we enjoyed the surroundings and grilled some skewers over the fire. Highly recommended!
Wat een heerlijke plek is dit! We verbleven op het erf bij een inspirerend gezin. Er is een moestuin aangelegd waar je kruiden uit mag gebruiken, er lopen loopeenden, kippen en katten rond. Om je heen is overal groen en er is voldoende ruimte om buiten te zitten. We werden hartelijk ontvangen door de eigenaresse die ons een rondleiding gaf en meteen vertelde hoe alles tot stand was gekomen. De Kota was van alle gemakken voorzien, schoon en gezellig en we hebben prima kunnen koken in het keukentje. Het droogtoilet was schoon en fijn dat je niet ver hoeft te lopen zoals op een camping. Op ons verzoek konden we gebruik maken van de sauna inclusief relaxruimte en werd de sauna voor ons opgewarmd. We gingen ontspannen het zachte, hoge bed in. Om 9.00 uur werden we gewekt met een heerlijk ontbijt van versgebakken brood, zelfgemaakte muesli, yoghurt, zelfgemaakte jam en gekookte eitjes. De volgende dag hebben we genoten van de omgeving en maakten spiesjes op het vuur. Een aanrader!
It’s certainly peaceful, and the surrounding area is perfect for walking and biking. Horseback riding and other sports are likely available; the owner can help you with that.
Rustig is het zeker en in de omgeving kun je heerlijk wandelen en fietsen. Paardrijden en andere sporten zijn vast mogelijk, daar kan de eigenaresse je bij helpen.
