When you enter the cottage, the French doors opening onto the garden—with a view of the beautiful, expansive surroundings—immediately catch your eye. To the left is the kitchenette, equipped with kitchenware, an oven, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, an induction cooktop, and a kettle. There is a dining area in front of the large window. In the center of the room is a sitting area with two armchairs, a small table, and a TV. The large double bed is tucked away in the living-bedroom. From the bed, you have a beautiful view of the meadows and the Tjonger. The garden doors open directly onto the terrace—a place to enjoy the sun, the clouds, the water, the expansive surroundings, and, above all, the peace and quiet. On the ground floor, you’ll also find the bathroom with a shower and a separate toilet. The cottage is a freestanding structure on the large grounds of the characteristic lockkeeper’s house. This ensures plenty of privacy. Bed linens, towels, kitchen towels, and dish towels are included in the price. Breakfast, meals, and use of bicycles and a canoe are available for a fee upon request.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is situated in a unique location, on the De Tjonger waterway in Oudehorne near Heerenveen. This location is close to various nature reserves on a vast plain in the Tjonger Valley. From this beautiful spot, on the border of three municipalities in the heart of Southeast Friesland, you can head out in any direction for wonderful hiking, biking (including mountain biking), and boating trips. Near the lock, there are several mooring spots for boats. On warm days, a dip from the dock into the Tjonger offers a refreshing break. Wake up to the sound of the cuckoo. Young kestrels calling for food from their nests, along with other birds of prey in the area. Thousands of geese flying overhead and foraging. The high-pitched call of the kingfisher. These are sights and sounds that are by no means uncommon in the vicinity of this nature house. The owner is an avid birdwatcher and nature lover himself. He’ll be happy to tell you about the flora and fauna in the immediate vicinity.

Good enough to come back

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

A quiet, secluded spot that’s perfect for cycling or hiking. You can also relax with a book on one of the patios.

The cottage is fully equipped, and Jan and Annie are very hospitable. We had another wonderful time. This was our third stay here, and we’ll definitely be back next year.

Everything was perfect for us! Welcome, landlord, accommodation and surroundings

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

Everything was just wonderful! The accommodation, the surroundings and last but not least the landlords Jan and Annie! The accommodation has everything your heart desires and is fully equipped! My son and I were mainly there for fishing, but the surrounding countryside also offers everything your heart desires for other activities! Hiking, cycling or just enjoying the peace and quiet and doing nothing! Everything is possible in this quiet, pleasant environment! Although the accommodation is next to the landlord's house, it is a contactless stay! Nevertheless, they are always ready for a chat and read your every wish from your lips! We were even allowed to be present during the measuring, weighing and ringing of the young falcons! For your information: The nesting box for the falcons was set up on the island at the lock and is purely for counting and recording purposes! We will definitely book again next year!
