Guests who stayed here find the surroundings fantastic for
Horse riding Bird watching Cycling Hiking

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.

    We really found a lot of peace and quiet here. Spending the whole day outdoors, cooking over the fire, and being able to swim and hike nearby. We made good use of the bikes provided at the cottage, which let us explore the area even more. The only thing that wasn’t quite as nice for us was that there are two single mattresses on the bed. Because of that, one of us often ended up in the gap between them, which made it harder for us to sleep well. Other than that, it’s a truly wonderful place!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The sounds of animals were the only things that broke the silence. You look out over a meadow and find yourself right in the middle of the forest.

    What a wonderful place. Basic of course (because a camping cottage), but very complete; really set up with love and attention. All the space and privacy, the wood stove to help me through the chilly evenings (before May), and the animals for extra entertainment. Nice and approachable owners.

    Beautiful place with super friendly owners. Very nice grounds, all homemade and reused materials. Sweet animals on the land near this incredibly cozy cottage and a lovely bed!

    Very natural, along the forest edge on beautiful grounds.
