Imagine an old school on the edge of the ash village of Gees, where peace and nature come together. Our cozy apartment, cloaked in clay stucco and warm clay paint, exudes health and serenity. High ceilings, a crackling wood stove and a vintage kitchen invite you to relax. Sleep in a lovely double bed, enjoy a luxurious bathroom and step from the bedroom onto the terrace and let the Drenthe horizon enchant you. Via a small bridge you can walk straight into the nature reserve. For the little ones we gladly arrange a camp bed. Take your older children with you? In the summer they can spend the night in a tent next to the apartment. In consultation you can use our washing machine, dryer and iron. In the meantime, we continue working to transform even more rooms into special places to stay and work. Here, in this historic school, you will find your dream place. Welcome to Gees!

    We had a wonderful time!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We were warmly received and enjoyed our weekend in Gees. We did not miss the TV, which would only disturb the peace. The apartment is cozy and has a luxurious bathroom and a lovely bed. Our dog Gus also had a great time, we walked with him from the garden into the nature reserve and he had a great time playing with Ivy, the dog of the owners, Nadine and Micha.

    Great place!

    This cozy village school is transformed into a real paradise! The apartment is beautifully renovated with natural materials, stylishly decorated and equipped with every convenience. And nice and warm in the winter. From the school you walk straight into nature, lovely! Also a large sculpture garden nearby. The owners are so friendly, we felt completely welcome. We will definitely come back here again.

    We waren er met onze hond. Daar is het de perfecte plek voor, omdat je zo de natuur inloopt. Het appartement is sfeervol ingericht en is zeer ruim. Daarnaast heb je veel buitenruimte en een mooi uitzicht op de aangrenzende velden. Het gezin dat de woning verhuurt is erg vriendelijk. Ze zijn behulpzaam en gezellig, maar je hebt ook genoeg privacy om jezelf terug te trekken.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Het appartement ligt aan de rand van een klein dorpje, met directe toegang tot wandel- en fietspaden. Vlakbij bossen en heiden.
