Nature house in Donkerbroek
Friesland, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
In the "other" Friesland, surrounded by forests and overlooking the typical coulisse landscape, you will find our horse stable converted into a Tiny house. Private garden, privacy, peace and quiet and a sunset you can't stop looking at. Eye to eye with buzzard, deer or badger? It can happen just like that. In summer you will find refreshment under the stately oaks. In winter, the Norwegian wood stove keeps you nice and warm. In all seasons you are more than welcome in our Stable. There is a double bed, located under the living room, where you snuggle in at night. And there is a cozy sleeping loft for two adults or two children. Furthermore, the Stable is furnished with living room, kitchen with refrigerator and bathroom with shower and toilet. All kitchen utensils, incl coffee, tea, pepper, salt and olive oil are provided. There is no central heating, lovers of a wood stove can fire to their heart's content. Behind our yard is another nature house, the Wagon. Suitable to book both with a group or a large family.
Nature and surroundings
The Stable is located in Donkerbroek in the most southeastern tip of Friesland. Groningen and Drenthe are just around the corner. The landscape in this area is less distinctly Frisian: no endless meadows and lakes, but lots of woods and tree walls, interspersed with meadows. Surrounded by beautiful nature reserves where it is excellent walking or cycling. Lauswolt, Olterterp, Duurswouderheide, Fochteloerveen, National Park Drents-Friese Wold including Appelscha. The prison village Veenhuizen, brewery Maallust, a day of sauna in Boijl, the picturesque village Oldeberkoop. Every day you can go in a different direction and many areas are easy to reach by bike from the Stal. There are 2 excellent MTB routes and for children within cycling distance is the play forest Sparjebird, the climbing tower in the Koningsdiep and the playground in Bakkeveen. Who still wants to rent a boat to go on the Frisian Lakes: Drachten offers it! And who wants to go out on the town: within half an hour you are in Leeuwarden or Groningen.

Such a nice little house! Lovely wood stove that made it all the more cozy. The bathroom was an unexpected plus. It is not shown well in the pictures, but was spacious and clean! Lots of privacy and quiet. Lovely place to escape the hustle and bustle.
Zo’n fijn huisje! Heerlijke houtkachel die het geheel nog knusser maakte. De badkamer was een onverwachts pluspunt. Hij wordt op de foto’s niet goed getoond, maar was ruim en schoon! Veel privacy en rust. Heerlijke plek om aan de drukte te ontsnappen.
Nice view over the meadow next to the erg. Nice chickens in the garden and sweet cats roaming free. Lovely quiet and plenty to do in the area, even if you don't like hiking.
Mooi uitzicht over het weiland naast het erg. Leuke kippen in de tuin en lieve katten die vrij rondlopen. Heerlijk stil en genoeg te doen in de omgeving, ook als je niet van wandelen houdt.

Incredibly sweet, open and approachable owners. Despite the cold weather had a lovely warm stay (the wood stove certainly contributed to that in terms of atmosphere and warmth).
Ontzettend lieve, open en toegankelijke eigenaren.
Ondanks het koude weer een heerlijk warm verblijf gehad (de houtkachel heeft daar qua sfeer en warmte zeker aan bijgedragen)Even though the cottage is not far from the owners' house, you have a tremendous sense of privacy. Wonderfully peaceful, quiet, with a nice wide view.
Ondanks dat het huisje niet ver van het huis van de eigenaren staat, heb je een ontzettend groot gevoel van privacy. Heerlijk rustig, stil, met een fijn wijds uitzicht.
