New! A beautiful, spacious two-person (detached) forest cottage in Drijber (Midden Drenthe municipality), fully equipped with all modern conveniences, featuring a private wooded garden on the edge of the forest with views over the countryside. A wonderful place to enjoy the peace and quiet. What a view! You can hear the birds singing and enjoy pure nature. It’s still truly quiet here, and it gets really dark in the evening, but when the moon shines, you can see it through the trees. A wonderful experience in good weather, but certainly also in wind and rain. You might even spot a squirrel darting from one tree to another. Included: Final cleaning, unlimited firewood, bed, bath, and kitchen linens, Nespresso machine + pods, tea, sugar, milk, spices, shampoo, soap, and toilet paper. In addition, during your stay you’ll receive a discount (7.50 euros per person) at Sauna Spabron in Oosterhesselen (a 15-minute drive). This forest cabin is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, seniors, cyclists, and hikers, offering the perfect setting to fully enjoy the silence, tranquility, privacy, and comfort. Also suitable for guests with dust allergies.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located in the heart of the distinctive landscape of “Old Drenthe,” a region known for its authentic village greens, vast heathlands, and tranquil stream valleys. There are three national parks in the immediate vicinity: the Dwingelderveld, the Drents-Friese Wold, and the Drentsche Aa. A little closer by, you’ll discover beautiful nature areas such as the Mantingerveld with its juniper bushes and sand drifts, or the Vossenberg estate, where you might encounter Scottish Highland cattle. For a refreshing dip or a day in the sun, there are beaches at the Blauwe Meer and the Ieberenplas. The nearby villages are all worth exploring, from Dwingeloo and Lhee to Diever, Westerbork, and Borger. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the museum village of Orvelte, a place where time seems to stand still and you can stroll at your leisure among old farmhouses, historic trees, and cozy eateries. In addition, there are countless restaurants ranging from simple to fine dining.

Neat, well-kept, and with so much love put into it—I felt right at home the moment I arrived. Attention to detail. The chairs are incredibly comfortable. The fireplace is wonderful. A minimalist setting where you can unwind, yet there’s plenty to discover (whether alone or as a couple), such as games, heartfelt cards, and binoculars. Sitting, daydreaming, and writing. My goal was to write a new song—since I’m a musician—and I succeeded. In my opinion, a covered outdoor area would turn a 9 into a 10, so you can still be outside when it rains. That would be especially fantastic here in the fall and winter. I’ll definitely stop by again! Thanks, Bartelina, for everything!
Netjes, verzorgd, heel veel liefde erin gestopt en bij aankomst was ik al meteen een beetje thuis. Aandacht voor detail. De stoelen zitten geweldig. De openhaard is heerlijk. Minimalisme waarin je tot rust komt met genoeg dingen te ontdekken (zowel alleen als met z'n tweeën) zoals spelletjes, openhartige kaartjes en verrekijkers. Zitten, mijmeren en schrijven. Mijn doel was een nieuw nummer te schrijven omdat ik muzikante ben en dat is gelukt. Een overkapte buitenruimte zou in mijn ogen, van de 9 een 10 maken zodat je buiten kan zijn wanneer het regent. Vooral in de herfst/winter zou dat hier echt fantastisch zijn. Ik kom hier zeker weer eens langs! Bedankt Bartelina voor alles!
What a wonderful place—it was almost like a dream. I really enjoyed the view and the idyllic little moss patches that mark the path ahead. Beautiful!
Wat een heerlijke plek, het leek een beetje op een droom. Ik heb echt genoten van het uitzicht en de idyllische mosjes die het pad uitstippelen voor je. Prachtig!

I can't think of anything that needs improvement. Everything was there, and it was very clean. I have trouble walking and use a rollator. That wasn't a problem at all—no thresholds, and the bathroom and bedroom were spacious.
Ik weet geen verbeter punten. Alles was aanwezig en heel schoon. Ik heb problemen met lopen en gebruik een rollater. Dat gaf geen problemen, geen drempels, ruime toiletruimte en slaapvertrek.
Very quiet, with a spacious and exceptionally beautiful garden. Beautiful view of the woods and meadows.
Erg rustig met een ruime en bijzonder mooie tuin. Mooi uitzicht op bos en weideveld.

Awesome!
Geweldig!
This little spot is a gem—both the cottage and the surroundings. The forest cottage has been furnished with great care, love, and attention to detail, and the large windows make you feel like you’re staying right in the woods. You can watch the birds and squirrels pass by from your chair. It’s also very clean, fully equipped, and tastefully decorated. The host is very friendly and makes sure you feel very welcome. She pays attention to even the smallest details.
Communication was very pleasant.
We had a fantastic week!Dit plekje is een pareltje, zowel het huisje als de omgeving. Het boshuisje is met grote zorg, liefde en aandacht ingericht en je hebt het gevoel zo in het bos te logeren door de grote raampartijen. De vogels en eekhoorns kun je vanuit de stoel voorbij zien komen. Verder is het zeer schoon, compleet, sfeervol ingericht. De verhuurster is erg vriendelijk en zorgt ervoor dat je je er erg welkom voelt. Ze heeft aandacht voor de kleinste details.
Het contact was erg prettig.
