Nature house in Akkrum

This nature house is a truly unique vacation home in Pean-buiten. It’s ideal as a base for a larger family group or for meetings. It’s also perfect as a quiet, temporary workspace with plenty of room. The cottage has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom that are connected. The rest of the house can be used entirely as living space. Of course, it can also be set up for a stay for 2 people, offering plenty of indoor space. The high gabled roof creates a sense of vast space inside. The name of this nature house means “barn owl” in Frisian. This nature house, with its somewhat unique interior design, is named after an imposing, wise bird. In this cottage, you’ll truly feel like you’ve escaped the hustle and bustle—not just outside on the patio but also inside the cottage itself. This is thanks to the many windows, the expansive view, and the peaceful location. It’s fully equipped with all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay.

Pean-buiten is located directly on the Wijde Ee, a waterway that is part of one of Friesland’s most beautiful boating areas. From this lake, you can easily head northeast (without crossing any bridges) to Grou or the Alde Feanen National Park, home to the villages of Eernewoude and De Veenhoop. If you head southwest, you’ll reach Akkrum, Terherne, and the Sneekermeer. Experience this beautiful area from the water by canoe, SUP board, rowboat, motorboat, or sailboat. Thanks to its diversity, the waterways are ideal for both beginners and advanced water sports enthusiasts. In addition, there are various cycling and hiking opportunities in the surrounding area. The mix of meadows and waterways characterizes the Frisian landscape. The restaurants, cafes, and cultural offerings in the various villages—such as Akkrum, Grou, de Veenhoop, and Aldeboarn—are excellent. You’ll find suggestions for day trips under our “Activities” section. Cars are parked in the central parking lot, which has six charging stations; you can walk to your cottage with a luggage cart.
