Nature and surroundings

In the beautiful wooded surroundings of nature reserves you will find endless opportunities for hiking, biking or you can enjoy yourself as a peace seeker or nature lover. For the sporty active, Appelscha offers fantastic MTB routes in the old, overgrown dune areas and there are beautiful opportunities in the area for canoeing, supping or climbing. Just under half an hour's drive from here are beautiful lakes with large sandy beaches, such as the Blauwe Meer or the Nije Hemelriek. There are several nice trips to activities, museums or cities nearby. The monumental villages of Veenhuizen and Frederiksoord both received Unesco World Heritage status in 2021 and are definitely worth a visit. Special museums include the prison museum in Veenhuizen or the Drents Museum in Assen. The beer brewery Maallust, where you can experience the brewing process amidst the beautiful kettles is close by and recently won the "Best Beer of the Netherlands 2022" award.

    The house was tremendously cold, there was no privacy

    3/5

    The owner was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we found the accommodation on the expensive side. The house was quite cold and we had to turn up the heating every hour as the temperature kept dropping to 17 degrees. It was so cold in the house that even showering and walking around in pajamas with regular socks was uncomfortable and inconvenient, partly because it was -4 degrees outside.

    Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautiful, very cozy, and designed with great attention to detail. The sauna and jacuzzi were amazing and made our stay even more relaxing. Hieke and David are incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful hosts. We truly enjoyed our time there and would happily come back again. Thank you so much for everything!

    Nature, peace & environment:
    5/5

    The surroundings were incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We loved being surrounded by nature, with nearby farms, horses, and other animals, it created a calm and very special atmosphere. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the quiet.
