Welcome to Havelte, a place rich in nature and the pearl of Drenthe! Completed in 2023, this house sits on approximately 500 m² of land within a small-scale recreational park that does not have amenities such as a reception desk, playground, etc. Peace and quiet are guaranteed. This wheelchair-accessible vacation home is nestled between farmland and the forest. The villa features a fenced-in garden, a 50 m² terrace with luxury patio furniture, and a deck by the water. It also has two bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms, one of which is on the ground floor, making the home suitable for multigenerational stays. For the little ones, the following are provided: a crib, high chair, baby bathtub, and changing pad. Underfloor heating throughout the house, the very luxurious furnishings, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning in all rooms ensure a comfortable stay. From the French doors, there is a green view of the garden by the water. You can store your bicycle in the shed. There is parking for two cars, one of which is under the carport. A charging station is available.

Nature and surroundings

The house is the ideal base for hiking and biking enthusiasts. Located between three national parks (Weerribben, Dwingelderveld, and Drents-Friese Wold), you’ll have plenty of junction-based trails to choose from. A winery is located within 1 kilometer. Just 5 kilometers away, you can visit the beautiful Holtingerveld nature reserve, featuring vast forests, heathlands, and sand drifts. The nature reserve also features attractions such as a butterfly garden, a sheepfold, dolmens, a golf course, and an airstrip with bomb craters from World War II. The village of Havelte offers plenty of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, a supermarket, a snack bar, various restaurants and cafes, and charming little shops. For a day of more extensive shopping, you can visit the nearby (± 10 km) historic towns of Meppel or Steenwijk. For even more shopping options, head to Zwolle (30 km) or Assen (40 km). Just 15 km away, you can rent an electric boat in the water village of Giethoorn.

    Everything was absolutely great. You can enjoy a very peaceful meal outside when the weather permits. There’s air conditioning for the hot days. Communication with the owners was also very smooth, and there was plenty of information about things to do in the area. We stayed there for a week, and it definitely went by way too fast.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We were there for a week, and we really felt like we'd need a month to do everything we wanted to do in the area. It's a very peaceful setting, perfect for biking or hiking. You can also go fishing nearby if you'd like.

    It’s a nice, relaxing house with everything you’d find at home. The kitchen was fully equipped—they even had spices. The living room looked neat and tidy, too, with nice couches and chairs. It feels like coming home. The two bathrooms were also convenient, so everyone could enjoy their privacy. Outside, everything was beautifully landscaped, making it a pleasant place to sit.
    There were lovely bike trails all around this little park.
    Definitely worth a visit.

    What you wouldn't expect is that the cottage is furnished as if it were a real home. It has all the amenities you could need.

    A fully equipped, luxurious, and cozy house where we didn’t lack for anything. More than enough towels and washcloths for our 10-day stay. A spacious refrigerator and two freezer drawers where we could store all our groceries. Making cappuccino every day with the milk frother provided!

    There’s a supermarket nearby. We rented an electric tandem bike for a few days from Bike Totaal in Havelte. The staff were very friendly. It’s also a great place to get recommendations for beautiful cycling routes. Both days we cycled a loop of about 48 km.

    Great interaction with the owners. A nice and tasty surprise waiting for us in the fridge upon arrival.

    A place we’d love to come back to, God willing.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Spend long evenings in the garden enjoying nature while relaxing in the luxurious garden chairs on the deck.
    A beautiful area for walking and biking!

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation.
