A child-friendly luxury vacation home in Drenthe (with a jacuzzi in the garden) near Boswachterij Ruinen. How about relaxing in the (covered) jacuzzi outdoors? And all the while, enjoy the beautiful trees, all the greenery, the singing birds, rabbits, fawns, and of course the squirrels all around your vacation home? No need to worry about the kids—they’ll keep themselves entertained with adventures in their treehouse, swinging on the zip line, building tents in the woods, playing on the (family) swing, using the monkey bars, and jumping on the trampoline. They can also roast marshmallows over the fire pit. The house is comfortably furnished and fully equipped with all modern conveniences. This includes a lovely 180x200 box spring and a 240x260 comforter. Single-size comforters are also available! One room has a bunk bed, and another has a queen-size bed (140x200). A camp bed with a comfortable mattress is also available. The rain shower is wonderful, too. There are plenty of games, books, and cookbooks, and everything you need in the kitchen to prepare delicious meals is available.

Nature and surroundings

The house has a large, 2,000-square-meter fenced-in garden that borders directly on the forest. You can walk for hours through the Ruinen Forest and rarely come across anyone. Behind the house is a forest bed with cozy pillows. You could easily spend hours gazing up at the canopy of trees and watching the squirrels. Another highlight is the 10-minute walk to the small pond or the 30-minute walk to the Echtenerzand. A little further on is Tea Time in Echten, where you can enjoy traditional English tea in Pippi Longstocking’s house. There’s plenty to do in the area when it comes to art and culture. See also the Huis ten Bos website. When you book, you’ll get access to the Touch Stay app, which is full of tips for the area.

    The cottage is very well-equipped and has everything you could possibly need, though you can see some signs of wear and tear. The shower and kitchen aren’t very large but are perfectly adequate. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, which is nice because it means you don’t have to wash them up every time you take a break. The hot tub is perfect and well worth booking as an add-on. There are also plenty of games and books in case the weather turns bad and you can’t go out. The large covered area next to the house is perfect, with a beautiful patio set underneath—which came in very handy during the few light showers we had, allowing us to stay outside comfortably. All in all, a perfect cottage, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage was very conveniently located in a wooded area with a back entrance that led directly into the woods. It’s perfectly peaceful. A beautiful location for a bike ride and not far from the village of Koekange, where there’s a good supermarket.

    The cottage itself is a bit on the small side, but the garden and all the amenities more than make up for it. Every detail has been thought of; everything is well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The owner is also very thoughtful and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    It's truly a wonderful place. The surroundings are incredibly peaceful. The property is completely surrounded by greenery, giving you plenty of privacy and ensuring you won't be bothered by neighbors at all.

    The cottage is clean, tidy, and fully equipped. They’ve really thought of everything—there’s a comprehensive app with tips on the surrounding area and helpful videos explaining how the various appliances in the cottage work.

    The host is easy to reach, thinks along with you, and is very helpful. Be sure to book the jacuzzi as well. After a long walk, it’s wonderful to relax your muscles and unwind completely in the warm water.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage and the surrounding area are truly beautiful. If you take the time to get up early, you’ll be treated to the sight of many different birds and squirrels scampering through the garden.

    It’s lovely to sit under the canopy in the morning with a cup of coffee and grab a bird book from the shelf to look up the different bird species you see.

    If you walk through the gate out of the garden and into the woods, and you’re very quiet, you might even spot a fawn darting away!

    There are beautiful walks to be had in the area. When planning your trip, keep in mind that you’re not allowed to walk your dog in the grazing area.
