Nature and surroundings

The nature house is just a stone’s throw from the golf course, and you can walk right into the woods. It’s ideal for cyclists, mountain bikers, hikers, golf enthusiasts, and nature lovers. The Drents-Friese Wold National Park is one of the largest nature reserves in the Netherlands. In 2000, more than 6,000 hectares of forest, heathland, shifting sand dunes, and stream valley grasslands were designated as a National Park. This area provides an attractive habitat for many unique plants and animals. There’s plenty to do for nature lovers, but there are also other fun outings to enjoy, such as: the Climbing Tower, a mini-golf course, the Drents Museum, the Aekingerzand recreation area, and the Appelscha forest swimming area, which is even within walking distance. Appelscha also offers many cozy restaurants and cafes with plenty of outdoor seating. Nature is right on your doorstep, with many birds, and squirrels in your own garden and deer in the meadow behind the house. It’s wonderful to relax on the patio and around the house or unwind in the hot tub. Enjoy, unwind, and recharge completely!

    We spent a midweek stay at the cottage with our daughters...
    It was wonderful...
    Surrounded by nature and a great starting point for exploring the northern provinces...
    The cottage is fully equipped. Our dog was able to run freely in the yard...
    It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the Drents Friese Woud...
    The hostess was friendly, helpful, and had great tips for things to do in the area...
    We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back someday...
    Thanks again, Marijs...!!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A midweek stay for two people and the dog.
    The cottage is lovely, fully equipped, and well-maintained.
    You have an unobstructed view, and you can easily reach the beautiful natural surroundings on foot or by bike.
    You can do your grocery shopping nearby, and if you want to do more shopping, Oosterwolde is a lovely, quiet town.
    The owner is hospitable, friendly, and easy to reach if you need anything.
    In short, a wonderful stay and definitely recommended.
