The farmstead was built in 1890, but buildings had been present at this same location since about 1600. Today, the place where the farmstead stands is a protected village sight. The characteristic, former agricultural building the Hiddinghhoeve, was transformed in 2012 into a luxury guesthouse. The apartment has a front and back room. The front room has a sitting area and a double bed and the back room has a complete kitchen and a spacious box bed. The apartment is well cared for. A combination microwave and coffee maker, internet and TV are available. The style is rural. With a touch of sobriety. The apartment has, along with a present B&B room a private entrance.

Smeerling consists of a number of scattered Westerwold farms from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. And is surrounded by natural areas. There are also the Smeerling Tea House and the antique and restoration farm. Hikers and cyclists here have a space to choose from beautiful routes. The small-scale landscape offers alternating woods, wooded banks and rows of trees.
