A Drents cottage for everyone who loves nature and a rural environment! This rural good is made with care and love for anyone who loves nature and a rural environment! The varied landscape around the cottage, lends itself perfectly to hiking, cycling, horseback riding or relaxing. There is much to enjoy here from the unobstructed view, the porch, hot tub, large garden with canopy, picnic table and playground. The surroundings are also special because the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cozy cottage is very child-friendly, including stair gates, crib, -bath, -chair and toys. For the elderly, the stairs may be a bit steep and there is little space upstairs. The nature house is sustainably built and has solar panels. It stands in a yard along with a 200-year-old colony house and some chickens. There is a wood-fired hot tub for over 4 people, which is heated for 15. Bring your own single bedding.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the 3-province area. Still just in Drenthe but near Friesland and Overijssel. The best of 3 provinces. Forest, heath, water and meadow. The varied landscape around the cottage, lends itself perfectly to walking, cycling, horseback riding or relaxing. The 'Drents Friese Wold, Dwingeler Veld and 'Estate the Eese' are nearby, but also forest lakes, swimming pools, various riding schools and museums. Hiking and cycling maps are ready! Want to go horseback riding, at the neighbor's house you can make a forest ride on her tame lusitano horse. Next to the cottage is a dairy farm. This gives advantages and disadvantages. In the summer you can often see the cows from the cottage. The disadvantage is that sometimes you can hear noises from the cows, machines or ventilation.

A lovely little cottage surrounded by plenty of nature. We had wonderful mornings on the porch and enjoyed spending time in the garden. That meant we didn’t feel the need to go anywhere else besides the property, since we were mainly looking for peace and quiet and time outdoors. There were fresh eggs waiting for us from the owners’ own chickens, and we had a lot of fun watching the cows grazing in the pasture in front of the garden. And upon request, we even received a basket of firewood for a campfire, which we enjoyed sitting around one evening. The owners were so kind and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible!
Heerlijk huisje met heel veel natuurruimte eromheen. We hebben heerlijke ochtenden gehad op de veranda, fijn in de tuin kunnen vertoeven. Daarmee ook geen behoefte gehad om het nog elders te zoeken dan op het erf, omdat we vooral op zoek waren naar rust en buiten zijn. Er stonden verse eitjes klaar van de eigen kippen en we hebben veel lol gehad om de koeien die in de weide voor de tuin stonden. En we kregen op verzoek zelfs een mandje hout voor een kampvuurtje waar we heerlijk een avond bij hebben kunnen zitten. Lieve eigenaren die klaar stonden om het verblijf zo prettig mogelijk te maken!
A lovely, spacious place that offers guests plenty of privacy. We were unlucky that, on the very day we were deep in meditation, the neighboring cattle farm was doing a big cleanup or something. That caused a lot of noise. Of course, it’s not the owner’s fault, but it was a bit of a shame for us. Other than that, we weren’t bothered by the cows we saw walking back and forth between the barn and the pasture every day. The road right next to the property was clearly audible, especially with people driving way too fast. But unfortunately, there’s no escaping that these days. We didn’t see much of the surrounding area, since we had everything we needed right there at the nature house.
Fijne, ruimtelijk opgezette plek met veel privacy als gast. We hadden de pech dat precies op de dag dat we diep in meditatie gingen het buur-veebedrijf grote schoonmaak had of iets. Dat gaf heel veel geluid. Kan de eigenaar natuurlijk niks aan doen, maar was voor ons wel even jammer. Verder geen hinder ervaren van de koeien die we dagelijks heen en weer zagen lopen tussen stal en weide. De direct aangrenzende weg was wel duidelijk hoorbaar, zeker ook met mensen die veel te hard rijden. Maar ook daar ontkom je helaas nergens meer aan tegenwoordig. Niks gezien van de verdere omgeving, want we hadden alles wat we nodig hadden bij het natuurhuisje.

Lovely cottage with lots of outdoor space.
Heerlijk huisje met veel buitenruimte.
Beautiful surroundings From the porch we saw many birds in the field, including starlings, herons and storks.(though with binoculars).
Prachtige omgeving
Vanaf de veranda zagen we veel vogels in het veld, oa spreeuwen, reigers en ooievaars.(wel met een verrekijker)This text is automatically translated. -
