From this charming vacation home and its garden, you’ll enjoy a sweeping, unobstructed view of the nature reserve, where deer are often spotted. The nature house is a bungalow and is situated in a very quiet and sheltered location within a large, fenced-in garden. It’s an ideal spot to relax, go for walks, and enjoy beautiful bike rides. The cottage accommodates 1–4 people. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room with a sunroom, a wood stove, comfortable beds (Swiss Sense box spring and sturdy bunk beds, which are also very suitable for adults), a fully equipped kitchen, and a new bathroom with a shower and toilet. The sunroom is the perfect spot to sit surrounded by nature, even when it rains (spring/summer/fall). The vacation home has plenty of games and books, a record player with LPs, a washing machine, and a dryer. The garden features various seating areas, a dining table, a wood stove, and a bird feeder stand. New: Starting in week 14, a Finnish barrel sauna with a view of the nature reserve.

Nature and surroundings

You’ll be staying right in the heart of the Drents-Friese Wold National Park, one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. From the house and garden, you can watch the birds, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a squirrel darting by or see roe deer in the field behind the house. From the cottage, you can walk or bike right into the forest, with direct access to countless trails. Popular hikes include Het Doldersummerveld, the Boswachterspad near Appelscha, the Aekingerzand, and the route along the Vledder Aa. Cyclists can choose from countless routes, including those using the junction network. Rental bikes can be delivered to and picked up from the cottage upon request. The UNESCO Colonies of Benevolence in Frederiksoord are easily accessible. There’s plenty to do with children, too. Brochures and the guestbook, filled with tips, are available in the cottage. We have many guests who return every year—there’s so much to see and do.
