Welcome to our home. Combine peace, space and nature with a wifi connection and you have the perfect homework/home schooling place. After work, enjoy the outdoors. The nature house is on a small vacation park in its own 1800 m2 piece of forest. From the park you can walk onto the heath of the Doldersummerveld, where recently a wolf pair has settled. The house has the living room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs you will find two renovated bedrooms. The barn is equipped with a power point for possible charging of electric bicycles, here is also the washing machine. In the closet in the living room there are several board games. Outside there is a trampoline and swings. In short, everything for a nice time away. Your opinion is important to us, we take reviews/comments seriously.

Nature and surroundings

The park is located in the middle of the Drents-Friesewold. From the park you can walk on the heath of the Doldersummerveld. Pictures of this heathland can be seen in our photo series. Besides the many cycling and hiking trails in the area there is a visitors center of the state forestry with many activities for all ages. On hot days you can swim in the Aekingermeer which is a 20 minute bike ride away. In Appelscha there is a very nice climbing forest. In addition, beautiful villages like Diever, Dwingeloo and Vledder are worth visiting. With dolmens, sheep pens and sand drifts, the area is beautiful to mention. You can also visit former camp Westerbork. And also open-air museum Orvelte and the zoo in Emmen are less than an hour away. You will not be bored in this area.

    I took quite a bit of photo equipment with me, I know this is my own risk but had hoped for a better lock in the cottage or arrange a safe in the cottage where valuables can be put in.Bed is almost literally above the central heating boiler, it was quite cold in the night and literally woke up halfway through the night from the boiler kicking on.It is very dark around the cottage maybe think of something to make the cottage more visible without a bright light.Hopefully you guys can do something with this to improve it.Thanks for letting me rent your cottage.

    It is a really nice cottage between many natural areas.Highly recommended if you want peace and quiet and lots of walking and cycling.The cottage has enough luxuries such as wifi, television with many possibilities to watch a movie in the evening to series.Fine furniture and simple kitchen.I had a great week in this cottage.

    Small cottage with all the necessary comforts in a residential forest near nature (Drents-Friese Wold). There are 5 beds but I think the most comfortable is to stay there with 3-4 people maximum. I was there alone and it was wonderful, the surroundings are extraordinary. Endless walking in a varying landscape of heath, forest and meadow. enjoyed it very much!

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
Selection of activities
After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
