We are Ajaan and Gabrielle. Since 2001 we have been enjoying the outdoors. In 2014/2015 we built this nature house and here we enjoy every season immensely. Long evenings on the porch with a nice glass of wine or a hot cup of tea, a fresh dip in the swimming pond and enjoying the frog concerts. Cozy cooking together, inside or outside on the BBQ. Now is the time for you to enjoy it, be welcome! This cottage is suitable for 2 to 6 people. There is an open kitchen fully equipped. Eenkoffiezetapparaat(filled with beans), kettle, combi-oven, stove etc. The bathroom has a toilet, walk-in rain shower and sauna (infrared & Finnish) and there are plenty of towels. The beds have already been made for you and there is also a double sofa bed. Outside you will find a large veranda with several seating areas overlooking a swimming pond. Enjoy the beautiful nature and if you do not feel like swimming take a refreshing outdoor shower.
Nature and surroundings
In the surroundings of the nature house you can do very nice hiking, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, visit a museums, etc. In addition, there is space to barbecue. The nature house is located on private property, but with enough privacy. A selection of activities in the vicinity of the nature house: Pay a visit to the impressive Remembrance Center of Camp Westerbork, admire the dolmens of Drenthe, enjoy a real English High Tea at Tea Time in Echten (upon reservation), come and watch sheep at the Sheepfold Dwingelderveld, enjoy a culinary experience at Restaurant Narline, or at the small and cozy country restaurant Op De Deel (upon reservation) where love, attention and stitching products are the main ingredients of their business. But of course you can also order and pick up their 'tapas' menu on Fridays, Saturdays and on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays they deliver the food to your home! This is a great experience you cannot skip.

Ik was hier voor de tweede keer en kom zeker nog eens.What an amazing dream spot! The little house, the pond, the peace and quiet—so wonderful!!
Wat een geweldige droomplek! Het huisje, de vijver, de rust, zoo heerlijk!!

The cottage is in a truly beautiful location. The interior is also cozy and inviting. However, we were disappointed with the value for money during our five-night stay. The furnishings and, above all, the kitchen equipment were very sparse. For example, there was only one pan, one dish towel for five days, a bread knife, some foil, and so on—nothing in excess. There were also few glasses and dishes suitable for different occasions, and small, practical items such as tall glasses and matches for candles were missing. For a cottage in this price range, we had expected a bit more completeness and comfort. We also found the bed and pillows on the ground floor uncomfortable. The stairs leading to the upstairs bed are very unsafe.
We found the €100 security deposit difficult to understand given the very limited inventory. In short: the location and ambiance are absolutely beautiful, but precisely because the cottage isn’t cheap, we had expected more attention to be paid to the amenities and comfort.Het huisje ligt op een werkelijk prachtige plek. Ook binnen is het gezellig en sfeervol. Toch viel de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding ons tijdens ons verblijf van vijf nachten tegen. De inrichting en vooral de keukenuitrusting waren erg summier. Er was bijvoorbeeld maar één pan, één vaatdoek voor 5 dagen, een broodmes bleek aanwezig, folie, enz enz, nergens teveel van. Ook waren er weinig glazen en servies voor verschillende gebruiksmomenten en ontbraken kleine, praktische dingen zoals longdrinkglazen, lucifers voor kaarsjes. Voor een huisje in deze prijsklasse hadden we wat meer compleetheid en comfort verwacht. Ook het bed en de kussens vonden wij niet comfortabel op begane grond. Bij bed boven is trap heel erg onveilig.
De borg van €100 vonden we in verhouding tot de zeer beperkte inventaris wat moeilijk te begrijpen. Kortom: de locatie en uitstraling zijn absoluut prachtig maar juist omdat het huisje niet goedkoop is, hadden we meer aandacht voor de uitrusting en het comfort verwacht.Attractive thanks to its spacious porch and beautiful location
Mooi door ruime veranda en prachtige ligging

What a wonderful house! The sauna and swimming pond really add so much! And it’s so nice that you can still enjoy the outdoors even when the weather isn’t great, thanks to the porch. I’ve been home for a few days now, and I’m already homesick…
Heerlijk huis! De sauna en zwemvijver hebben echt een toegevoegde waarde! En hoe heerlijk is het dat je ook bij minder mooi weer toch buiten kunt leven door de veranda. Nu een paar dagen thuis en alleen maar heimwee….
What a place! As soon as you drive up, you immediately feel like you’ve arrived in paradise :) The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for wonderful walks. Around Dwingeloo, you can hike five trails, each about 5 km long. We also hiked some absolutely stunning trails on the nearby heath (with dolmens)!
Wat een plek! Als je aan komt rijden heb je al direct het gevoel in het paradijs terecht te zijn gekomen:) De omgeving biedt eindeloos veel ruimte voor heerlijke wandelingen. Rondom Dwingeloo kun je 5 routes lopen van elk ongeveer 5 km. Ook op de nabij gelegen hei (hunebedden) fantastisch mooie routes gelopen!
