Welcome to Havelte, a place rich in nature and the pearl of Drenthe! Completed in 2023, this home sits on approximately 500 m² of land within a small-scale recreational park that lacks amenities such as a reception desk, playground, etc. Peace and quiet are guaranteed. This wheelchair-accessible vacation home is situated 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. Both the ground floor and the first floor have a bedroom and a luxury bathroom, making the home suitable for multiple generations. For the little ones, amenities include a crib, a baby bathtub, and a high chair. Underfloor heating throughout the house, the very luxurious furnishings, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning in every room ensure a very comfortable stay. The French doors open to a lush view of the garden by the water. You can store your bike in the shed. There is parking for two cars, one of which can be parked 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 routes 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 (approx. 10 km) historic towns of Meppel or Steenwijk. For even more extensive shopping, 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.

    It was great again!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    After spending three consecutive years staying at Ingrid and Dirk’s house in Havelte, it almost feels like coming home when we park the car under the carport and unload the bikes. Actually, that’s not really surprising, because it’s a beautiful, spacious house, fully equipped with all the amenities and wonderfully peaceful. Of course, we did a lot of biking and hiking again. Whether it’s Giethoorn, the Dwingelderveld, or the Drents-Friese Wold, they’re all within biking distance of Havelte. An afternoon strolling around Meppel or simply climbing one of the Hunenbedden near the Johannes Post Barracks after dinner. The days fly by, and before you know it, you’re leaving beautiful Havelte behind and cycling home along the lovely IJssel River—which is also well worth the trip.

    It's a lovely house with everything you need. And it's located in a beautiful, quiet little park.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We just spent some quiet days there. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, we weren't able to go for as many walks as we would have liked, but we really relaxed and recharged there.

    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.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
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. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
