From this charming cottage and the garden have a wide, unobstructed view of the nature reserve where deer regularly walk. The nature house is a bungalow and is very quiet and secluded in a large enclosed garden. It is an ideal location for relaxing, hiking and beautiful bike rides. The cottage is suitable for 1-4 persons. Inside you will find a cozy living room with conservatory, wood stove, comfortable beds (Swiss Sense box spring and sturdy bunk bed also very suitable for adults), a fully equipped kitchen and new bathroom with shower and toilet. The conservatory is the place to be in the middle of nature, even when it rains (spring/summer/autumn). The cottage has many games and books, a record player with LPs, washer and dryer. In the garden several seating areas, dining table, wood stove and bird feeder. New: from week 14 Finnish barrel sauna overlooking the nature reserve.

Nature and surroundings

You stay in the middle of the National Park Drents-Friese Wold, one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. In the house and garden you can follow the birds and if you're lucky a squirrel will jump by or deer walk in the field behind the house. From the cottage you walk or cycle straight into the forest, with direct access to numerous routes. Popular walks are The Doldersummerveld, the foresters path at Appelscha, the Aekingerzand and the route along the Vledder Aa. Cyclists can choose from numerous routes also using the junction network. Rental bicycles are brought to and picked up again upon request, and the UNESCO Colonies of Weldadigheid in Frederiksoord are easily accessible. There is also plenty to do with children. In the cottage are brochures and the guest book with many tips. We have many guests who come every year, there is so much to see and do.

    Great place: cottage fine and very well equipped. Biggest plus is the garden: it is large, full of life (birds, squirrels), and has unobstructed views of huge nature field where deer and lots of birds can be seen, among other things. Put up a telescope and you don't have to go anywhere else :)

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Awesome! The surroundings are beautiful, and varied: forest, sand, heath, moor. Excellent cycling and walking paths everywhere. We were there in October and it was very quiet and peaceful: ideal!
