Come home, relax, and enjoy nature. Our cozy family home is nestled in the middle of the woods, on a beautiful private property. It’s a wonderful place to unwind, spend time together, and enjoy nature. A great deal of attention has been paid to the interior design. The house is tastefully and comfortably furnished and features a beautiful sunroom with unobstructed views. The beds are already made for you upon arrival, and a Nespresso machine is provided. All around the house, you’ll experience peace and privacy. Young and old alike can enjoy being outdoors here, playing, walking, or taking in all that nature has to offer. With a little luck, you might spot deer or aurochs near the property line. The house has a spacious living room with an open kitchen and three bedrooms: one with a 2.20-meter double bed, one with two single beds, and one with a bunk bed. In the sunroom, you can enjoy breakfast, read, or have a drink while taking in the unobstructed view. A unique piece of private forest to enjoy together and truly get away from it all.

Nature and surroundings

The house is located in the middle of the forest and sits on over 6,000 m² of private land. This provides plenty of privacy, allowing you to enjoy the peace and space of nature. Less than 500 meters away, you’ll enter a 6,100-hectare area known as Het Drents Friese Wold National Park. Here you’ll find countless hiking and biking trails. The Dwingelderveld, another beautiful national park, is also nearby. The stages of the Drenthepad are also highly recommended. Less than 4 kilometers away lies the charming village of Diever, which offers all the conveniences you need, such as a supermarket, a drugstore, various restaurants, and—not to be forgotten—the best ice cream in the region (an absolute must-try!). During the summer months, there’s also a lively weekly market in the village. Diever may also sound familiar because of its unique, annual “Shakespeare Plays.” Tips from the kids: 1. The forest swimming area in Appelscha 2. The climbing forest in Appelscha 3. Amusement park in Duinen Zathe 4. Playing at the house

    I would definitely recommend it!

    A lovely cottage. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, so we weren’t really able to enjoy the garden—though the garden, or rather the woods surrounding the cottage, is beautiful. There were five of us friends. But this would also be a great place to stay with kids! Lots of space, right in the middle of the woods, and plenty of fun things to do in the area.

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.
