General: Our nature house is a completely detached property located on the grounds of our rustic home, in the heart of “De Drentse Aa” National Park. The studio is nearly climate-neutral, with underfloor heating powered by a pellet boiler and electricity generated by solar panels. User-friendly waste separation facilities are provided to ensure a sustainable stay. The studio accommodates 2 (or 3, upon request) people and features 1 large bedroom with a box-spring bed (double) and, on the other side of the room divider, another double bed. You can sit outside on the private terrace. The beds are made upon arrival, and all linens are provided. You can make coffee using an espresso machine (prefer filter coffee? Feel free to let us know) with the provided cups. There’s also olive oil, salt, and pepper, and a few varieties of tea. At the nature house, we make it a point to support nature and biodiversity.
Nature and surroundings
Our surroundings offer many opportunities to enjoy nature and/or engage in sports. Three well-known long-distance hiking trails (LAWs)—the Pieterpad, the Drenthepad, and the Groot Frieslandpad—converge just a 15-minute walk (1.2 km) away. The village of Zuidlaren (5 km away) has all the amenities you need, such as supermarkets, a bakery, a market, and more. A 12-minute bike ride away is the P+R Westlaren stop, from which a bus departs every 20 minutes for downtown Groningen. Groningen is known for the Martini Tower and its lively city center with outdoor cafes and the so-called “hofjes” (courtyards). Groningen is also a college town, which guarantees a lively atmosphere. Every year in early July, the FestiValderAa is held in Schipborg—a weekend full of music and theater surrounded by nature.

I didn't think anything else needed to be added.
Geen toevoeging nodig dacht ik zo.
This nature house is fantastic, just like the owners. Their personal touch, along with their explanation of the surrounding area, makes for a wonderful experience.
Of course, we’d cycled in Drenthe before. This trip, however, was truly special thanks to the excellent route directions. WE LOVED IT!
Thanks to this experience and the fantastic cottage, I’m calling Drenthe the “cycling province.”Dit natuurhuisje is fantastisch, net als de eigenaars. Persoonlijke benadering,alsook de uitleg over de omgeving maakt tot een heerlijke ervaring.
Natuurlijk is fietsen in Drenthe een ervaring die al eerder hadden megemaakt. Deze was echter heel apart door de fantastische goede route aanwijzingen. GENOTEN !
IK roep dan ook dankzij deze ervaring samen met het fantastische huisje tot fiets provincie.This text is automatically translated. -
