Are you looking to unwind, or are you a nature lover, birdwatcher, or hiker? Then our farm—located less than 100 meters from the unique Reestdal nature reserve—is the perfect place for you! The part of our farm available for rent is the front house and can accommodate two people. You’ll find yourself in a lovely living room with a kitchen, bathroom, and an upstairs room with a box bed. You’ll enter the front part of the farmhouse through the shared entrance. Our three friendly Leonberger dogs will give you a warm welcome and are also free to roam the grounds. Our cottage is available for a minimum stay of two nights, and the price is based on two people. We do not currently offer a breakfast service.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is located on the border of Drenthe and Overijssel. It is a unique—and above all, still unspoiled—stream valley featuring heathlands, forests, estates, and historic farmhouses. According to Noaber magazine, the nature reserve is a hiker’s paradise. Within a few minutes’ walk from the cottage, you’ll cross the meandering Reest River, and soon you’ll find yourself among the free-roaming Scottish Highland cattle. You can enjoy days of hiking by following the “De Loop van de Reest” trail. This route runs right through the nature reserve and is 160 kilometers long. Of course, there are various hiking trails of different distances, mostly along unpaved paths. The area also offers great opportunities for cycling. For example, there’s the Reestdal Route, but if you ask us, you’ll see the most when you walk through the nature reserve.

You have to be pretty nimble for the bedstead. Response from landlord: That the cottage on a busy road light is not quite correct. With Pentecost a little more vacation traffic due to campsites in the area.
Je moet vrij lenig zijn voor de bedstee.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Dat het huisje aan een drukke weg licht klopt niet helemaal. Met de pinksterdagen iets meer vakantie verkeer door campings in de omgeving.Was a nice experience with hospitable people. Too bad was a busy road nearby.
Was een leuke ervaring bij gastvrije mensen.
Jammer was een drukke weg in de nabijheid.This text is automatically translated. -

Cozy hospitable people, if you miss something you can report it immediately, and the hostess comes the next day to ask if everything is good. Coffee, tea, cappuccino, herbs etc. present. In Balkbrug a good supermarket and bakery.
Gezellige gastvrije mensen, als je wat mist mag je het meteen melden, en de gastvrouw komt de volgende dag even vragen of alles goed is.
Koffie, thee, cappuccino, kruiden etc. aanwezig. Goede sortering keukengerei.
En uiteraard informatie over activiteiten die er zijn te doen.
In Balkbrug een goede supermarkt en bakker.Had a wonderful week in the front room of the farmhouse. Everything on and off. Spacious room, nice kitchen and slept wonderfully. And outside a private terrace with large table and 6 chairs and with a lawn, to puff out after a nice walk or bike ride.
Heerlijke week gehad in de voorkamer van de boerderij. Alles er op en er aan. Ruime kamer, mooie keuken en heerlijk geslapen. En buiten een eigen terras met grote tafel en 6 stoelen en met een grasveld, om uit te puffen na een lekkere wandeling of fietstocht.

The house is in a beautiful place, the bed box was fine for us. Everything was clean and fully equipped. We did not use the outdoor area in this winter time.
Het huis ligt op een mooie plek.
De bedstee was voor ons prima. Alles schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien.
Van de buitenruimte hebben we geen gebruik gemaakt in deze wintertijd.Quiet environment and lots of nature.
Rustige omgeving en veel natuur.
