Our nature house is situated on the shores of the Schildmeer. It’s located in a quiet, small bungalow park, surrounded by a few beautiful trees. The nature house features a lovely, spacious garden and a large, private natural area on the Schildmeer, complete with a dock and a spot for a cozy campfire. Here, you can fully enjoy the sun, peace and quiet, the birds, and the gentle lapping of the water. You can also fish from the dock, go for a swim, surf, canoe, or enjoy other water sports. There are two bicycles at the cottage, as well as a few canoes and boards that you’re welcome to use. You can also fully enjoy the beautiful surroundings and relax on the dock in the evening with a glass of wine, watching the sunset. The cottage is equipped for 6 people. It has two bedrooms: one with a double bed and one with two bunk beds. Please note that bed linens are not provided.
Nature and surroundings
Together with ’t Roegwold, the Schildmeer forms a diverse nature reserve. Existing natural areas have been supplemented with new ones, and agricultural areas between the existing nature reserves are being redeveloped. The area is characterized by a mix of open water, grasslands, marshes, rugged wilderness, tranquility, and sweeping views. A large part of the area is grazed by Hereford cows, Groninger Blaarkop cattle, and sheep. Thanks to the extensive network of bike and hiking trails, you can fully see and experience nature and lose yourself in it. For example, by walking along the Knuppelpad—a 750-meter wooden boardwalk that cuts straight through the ’t Roegwold marsh. The view changes with every season, making this the perfect spot to take the most beautiful photos. There’s also a beautifully landscaped beach within walking distance. In addition to nature, there are plenty of opportunities nearby to explore small towns. Take, for example, the historic town of Appingedam, with its famous hanging kitchens.

The cottage is fully equipped. Communication with the caretaker was fine. Part of the access road (outside the manager's plot) is full of holes and potholes. With 2 bikes on the bike rack you have to stop at every pothole to keep things in one piece.
Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien. Communicatie met de beheerder was prima. Een deel van de toegangsweg (buiten het perceel van de beheerder) zit vol gaten en kuilen. Met 2 fietsen op de fietsdrager moet je bij iedere kuil stoppen om de boel heel te houden.
It is a very nice cottage. And nice and spacious! You can bike around the Schildmeer. And there is a shed for your bike. You are quickly in Appingedam or Siddeburen. And there are restaurants nearby.
Het is een heel fijn huisje. En lekker ruim! Je kunt om het Schildmeer heen fietsen. En er is een schuurtje voor je fiets. Je bent snel in Appingedam of Siddeburen. En er is horeca in de buurt.

only on weekends and vacations I think there is a little more noise
alleen in het weekeinde en de vakanties denk ik is er wat meer lawaai
a nice very complete cottage, where we spent 2 wonderful vacation weeks despite the o.h.a. bad weather. A place of nice people, a place to come back to.
een leuk erg compleet huisje, waar we 2 heerlijke vakantieweken hebben doorgebracht ondanks het o.h.a. slechte weer. Een plek van aardige mensen, een plek om terug te komen.

My sisters and I have enjoyed a short vacation in a nature house more than once. The cottages were quiet and in beautiful nature. They were always excellent accommodations.
Mijn zussen en ik hebben sl vaker in een natuurhuisje een korte vakantie genoten. De huisjes lagen rustig en in mooie natuur. Het waren altijd prima accomodaties.
A lovely cottage on the lake and overlooking the lake. There was plenty of space all around. The furnishings are simple, but more than adequate. A tip would be to install some mosquito screens so that flies and mosquitoes have less chance.
Een heerlijk huisje aan het meer en met uitzicht op het meer. Er was voldoende ruimte rondom. De inrichting is eenvoudig, maar meer dan voldoende. Een tip is om wat horren te plaatsen, zodat vliegen en muggen minder kans hebben.
