Nature house in Eernewoude
Friesland, Netherlands
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Stay in the Alde Feanen Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of the village of Earnewald (Eernewoude). From the house, explore the National Park on foot (July 1 through April 1) or by canoe (year-round). There are plenty of other hiking trails nearby that you can enjoy all year round. Located in the middle of the ferry-bike route. Downstairs you’ll find an entryway, bedroom, bathroom, and spacious kitchen-living room, with French doors opening onto a private terrace adjacent to the pasture. The living room is located upstairs. Wake up to the sounds of geese flying overhead, fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and frogs. Enjoy watching birds dance in the sky. Stunning skies and breathtaking sunsets. It’s all possible. We want everyone to experience the joy of living here—the peace, quiet, and tranquility as we sink into the peat soil. “We” are Klaas van der Veen and Harriëtte Modderman. We’d love to welcome you to this beautiful spot in the “Lege Midden” of Friesland.
Nature and surroundings
The Alde Feanen consists of a diverse lowland peat bog with lakes, peat ponds, peat pits, quaking bogs, sphagnum moss reed beds, bluegrass meadows, reed beds, marsh marigold hayfields, and swamp forests. More than 500 species of higher plants are found here, including various types of sedges and orchids. More than a hundred different species of birds breed here. In winter, large numbers of geese, ducks, and waders stop over in the area. In early spring, you’ll find several thousand waders—such as the ruff, black-tailed godwit, and curlew—passing through. De Alde Feanen National Park (meaning: “The Old Marshes,” in Frisian: Nasjonaal Park De Alde Feanen) is located in the province of Friesland, surrounding the village of Earnewâld. The national park covers an area of nearly 4,000 hectares, making it the largest contiguous nature reserve on the mainland of the province of Friesland. It’s less than 50 meters from your accommodations—you can simply walk right into the nature reserve. By canoe or stand-up paddleboard, nature is even closer.

We had a great time!
We hebben het goed naar ons zin gehad!
A beautiful, cozy, and spotlessly clean cottage with plenty of privacy! The owners live right next door and were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was also well-stocked with dishes, silverware, and various cooking utensils. The only things missing (which we knew in advance) were a washing machine (though there’s a place to hand-wash and spin-dry) and a TV. Also, the living room is on the upper floor; if you’re bringing a dog that can’t use the stairs (e.g., due to health issues), you’ll need to keep this in mind. Otherwise, it’s really nice to have the living room on the upper floor—the view is beautiful, and it offers just that little bit of extra privacy.
Mooi, gezellig ingericht, en megaschoon huisje, met veel privacy! De eigenaren wonen er direct naast, en waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook was de keuken goed voorzien van servies, bestek en diverse soorten kookspullen. Het enige wat niet aanwezig was (dit wisten we van te voren) is een wasmachine (wel mogelijkheid tot handwas/centrifuge) en televisie. Ook bevindt de woonkamer zich op de bovenverdieping; indien je een hond meeneemt die (bijv. vanwege gezondheidsproblemen) niet trap mag lopen, moet je hier wel rekening mee houden. Verder is het wel erg leuk om de woonkamer op de bovenverdieping te hebben, het uitzicht is prachtig en het geeft nét dat extra beetje privacy.

The communication with the hosts was excellent and friendly. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality appliances. It’s a great base for bike rides. You can really unwind and recharge there.
Goede en vriendelijke communicatie met de verhuurders. De keuken is voorzien van alles in goed materiaal. Goeie uitvalsbasis voor fietstochten. Je kan er echt tot rust komen en de batterijen opladen.
A beautiful spot with blissful silence and a view of the nature reserve
Een mooie plek met een zalige stilte en zicht op het natuurreservaat
