What do you call a straw and loam cottage built creatively, with "craftsmanship" and great love in a dream spot by the water? We have no words for it! In any case, this is a unique two-person cottage (adults only) where peace and nature are central. If you want to experience and protect (!) that peace with us, then we welcome you! With the Drenthe name "Vleer" we pay tribute to the old elder tree that was partially uprooted during a severe autumn storm. Put back upright, the tree sprouted again in the spring. What resilience! That's what we wish you too. This semi off-grid cottage is very comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. From the couch you have grandiose views of the lake with your own raft. The beds can be made into single or double beds. The kitchenette includes a sink, refrigerator, filter coffee maker and kettle. Plates, glasses, cutlery ... everything is available. See also our Hendriksveen website.
Nature and surroundings
In the complete outdoor kitchen you can enjoy cooking, but because of fire safety, no barbecuing. Through the outside you have access to the composting toilet. A private toilet and shower can also be found in the Eek building, 80 meters away. You can also cook there. At the waterfront there are two more cottages ('t Berkje and Esp). The Hendriksveen is 8 hectares. The lake (deep swimming water) was created by sand mining activities in the last century. In addition, a special nature reserve was created, including sundew and king ferns that grow in large numbers in the wet lowlands. You can take a nice walk around the grounds. Be surprised on the 'Kijkpad', enchanted by the views over the fields and inspired by the labyrinth of Drenthe boulders. There are also several places where you can sit in peace. The Hendriksveen is located on the Hondsrug. Directly from house Vleer you can do fantastic walking and cycling through woods and heathland.

We stayed in a cozy, welcoming cottage with all the amenities you could need for a vacation surrounded by nature and tranquility... The cottage was built with great care and is full of fun, playful, and practical features...I’d almost say it was a privilege to be able to stay there for a week...
Kudos to Frans and his wife for their generous hospitality...
Highly, highly recommended!We zaten in een vriendelijk,knus huisje met alle voorzieningen waar je behoefte aan hebt op een vakantie in de natuur en de rust...Het huisje is met grote aandacht gebouwd, vol met leuke,speelse en praktische voorzieningen...Ik zou bijna willen zeggen dat het een voorrecht was om er een week te mogen verblijven..
Met complimenten aan Frans en zijn vrouw voor hun gulle gastvrijheid...
Zeer,zeer aan te bevelen !I can only describe our experience at the nature house in "superlatives"...
It was an exquisite stay in the peaceful setting of the woods on the shore of the beautiful, tranquil lake...Ik kan alleem maar in "superlatieven" onze ervaring met het natuurhuisje beschrijven...
Het was een voortreffelijk verblijf in de stille omgeving van de bossen aan de oever van het prachtige stille meer..This text is automatically translated. -

Unwind in a beautiful setting with a pleasant atmosphere
Lekker tot rust komen in een heerlijke omgeving met fijne sfeer
What a wonderful long weekend we had in this lovely little cottage! Right on the water, with peace and quiet, swimming, the raft, the canoe. The water is wonderfully clean and calm.
The little outdoor kitchen was plenty for us.
The cottage with a view of the reeds and the water was fantastic.
We received a very warm welcome—it’s a wonderful place.Wat een heerlijk lang weekend waren we in dit heerlijke huisje! Aan t watertje, met rust, zwemmen, t vlot, de kano. Het water is heerlijk schoon en zacht.
Klein buitenkeukentje was genoeg voor ons.
Het huisje met uitzicht op t riet en water was fantastisch.
Zeer hartelijk ontvangen, een heerlijke plek.This text is automatically translated. -

Plenty of privacy, even though you’re not alone on the property. The cottage was built and furnished with great taste and an emphasis on ergonomics. It offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. The manager was very friendly and helpful. I came here for peace and quiet. First, I spent a few days alone, and then some time secluded with my partner. My expectations were more than met.
Veel privacy, ondanks dat je niet alleen op het terrein bent. Het huisje is met veel smaak en ergonomie gebouwd en ingericht. Perfecte mix natuurbeleving en comfort. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame beheerder. Ik kwam voor stilte en rust. Eerst enkele dagen alleen en afgesloten samen met partner. Mijn intentie is ruimschoots beantwoord.
This place truly lives up to the name “nature house.” Woods, water, dragonflies, butterflies, squirrels, bats, a swan, cormorants, geese, coots, buzzards, and a kingfisher. We were completely immersed in nature. Dolmens and a lookout tower within walking or biking distance.
Dit doet de naam ‘natuurhuisje’ echt eer aan. Bos, water, libelles, vlinders, eekhoorntjes, vleermuizen, een zwaan, aalscholven, ganzen meerkoetjes, buizerds, een ijsvogel. We gingen op in de elementen. Hunebedden en een uitkijktoren op loop/fiets-afstand.
