On our farm BoerdeHeij we have transformed an old barn into an attractive and complete camping cottage where you keep the outdoor feeling by the open front of the living room. The cottage is in a beautiful spot, between meadow and forest, away from traffic, but close to nature and (hobby) farm life. All facilities are under one roof: a kitchen, compost toilet and hot shower. The unique interior gives the cottage character: sustainably built with pallets, old floorboards, brocante panel doors and recycled cabinet parts. In the bedroom you will find a made-up, spacious double bed (160x200cm) with, for those who wish, an electric blanket, extra wool blankets and an electric heater. Experience "back to basics": unwind, make a campfire or light the wood stove inside on colder days. Even when the weather is not so good, it is great to stay in this cozy nature house. Ideal for those who appreciate simplicity, sustainability, rural living and the outdoors.

Nature and surroundings

Our place is located in Elim in southern Drenthe between Hoogeveen and Coevorden. Our lot is 300 meters from the public road and is adjacent to woods and meadows where you can have a nice walk around. We have created a paddock paradise for our 3 horses, complete with hills, nibble bushes and waterhole. There is also a large vegetable garden whose harvest we are happy to share with you. We try to house and garden our horses in such a natural way. So no tightly landscaped borders or neat stables here. Besides our 3 horses live here 2 cats and Guus our pot-bellied pig. You are also bound to meet the neighbors' chickens and the 2 peacocks that roam freely here. The immediate vicinity consists of many meadows and bushes and fifteen minutes walk from the larger forest and recreation area of Plan Schoonhoven. Here you can walk various routes and in fine weather take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling and other excursions.

    Basic but everything available. Peace, nature, animals, privacy, vegetables from the vegetable garden, bicycles available to use, beautiful forest for hiking. We had great weather so we could live outside. In the evening fikkie stoking. A wonderful place!

    The cottage is creatively and beautifully decorated, the garden offers enough privacy and the owners are very sweet people. So everything together really makes your stay here very nice. We really had a very nice vacation.

    It was wonderful! :) we enjoyed very much that we could be outside all the time, even when it rained we could cozy up with the stove in the "outdoor living room". We also enjoyed walking through the garden all the time without shoes, having chickens and peacocks visiting us and having the view to the field and bushes.
