This nature house is an inspiring one-woman retreat for women who long for peace, quiet, and mindfulness in a charming setting. A place where there are no obligations and where you can truly reconnect with yourself. VrouwenVerademing is located in a wing of an 1873 farmhouse in Ruinerwold, Drenthe. The guesthouse features a comfortable double bed, covered with sheep’s wool and organic flannel, a cozy sitting area, and a workspace. Soft daylight streams in through the barn windows, creating an atmosphere free of distractions. The private bathroom with a shower and separate toilet is located right next to the room. In winter, the tranquility of the farmyard and the warm atmosphere inside invite you to slow down. Come warm up in the sauna and book a homemade dinner on the spot, including dessert, homemade kombucha, and a liqueur, served in the guesthouse or in the cozy farmhouse kitchen. Breakfast, coffee, and tea are included with stays of 4 nights or more. Costs: dinner plus €30 sauna package €30 bicycle €15

Nature and surroundings

Tucked away among the greenery along the 7-kilometer-long pear orchard in Ruinerwold lies our large farmhouse. You can spend hours wandering through the beautiful rural surroundings, where time seems to have stood still a bit and where the villagers still greet you. Villages such as Havelte, Dwingeloo, and Ruinen are within biking distance. In Ruinerwold itself, you’ll find a supermarket, a historic café, the De Karstenhoeve museum farm, and a few smaller shops. If you’d like to do a bit more shopping, the charming town of Meppel is a good option, and the historic Hanseatic city of Zwolle is easily reachable by train in just 15 minutes. There’s a good bus connection to Meppel and various villages just 500 meters from the farmhouse. Meppel itself has a train station. For hikers, there are several walking trails starting from the guesthouse that take you past picturesque, historic farms. A little further away lies Dwingelderveld National Park.

    I would really recommend this nature house to every woman. From the very first moment, it felt like a place where you can slow down for a bit and focus entirely on yourself. The biggest plus is the food; it’s wonderful that you don’t have to leave the house for it—everything is fresh and so deliciously cooked by the hostess.

    The reflective conversation was also incredibly valuable and helped me make progress on issues where I’d been stuck.

    After the four nights, I was brimming with inspiration and energy again!

    It was so much more than just a stay in a nature house.

    Four wonderful nights and days in a beautiful setting.
    I enjoyed the peace and quiet, doing nothing, swimming in the pool surrounded by greenery, or watching the chickens in the front yard. And when you’re done doing nothing, you can hop on a bike to explore the beautiful surroundings.
    Let go of the daily grind for a while—no cooking, cleaning, or doing dishes. Just enjoy!

    I look back on my stay with fond memories. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the hospitality, and the personal attention. They listened carefully and tailored their service to my needs. The food and the pleasant conversations also made my stay complete. A wonderful place for anyone looking for peace and quiet (and personal attention).

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation.
