In the middle of a green oasis is this newly built, incredibly cozy Shepherds hut in a unique location in South East Drenthe. Fully fenced, private parking, private entrance and for the fireplace is firewood available. On this beautiful location there is a lot of attention for biodiversity, space for garden birds, hedgehogs, owls, squirrels, butterflies and bees and they come to visit regularly. Hostess Irma is a small hobby beekeeper and finds it important that in addition to good care for the honey bees there is extra care for the wild bees. So lots of flowering greenery. A lovely place for 2 people and fully equipped; a toilet, shower, heating, air conditioning, cooking, TV. It is lovely here with an outdoor fire pit for cooking and in the evening enjoying each other, the stars, the animals. It is certainly not quiet, because when you wake up, you are surrounded by the sound of all the surrounding birds.
Nature and surroundings
If you're a hiker or cyclist, you've come to the right place! The Shepherds hut is close to a number of nodes of the Drenthe walking network, and since 2023 beautiful Van Gogh walking routes have been added. Also many cycling routes including the new Van Gogh cycling routes that won the award of the most beautiful cycling routes in Europe in 2024. The nature reserve Bargerveen, about 3 km from the Shepherds hut, which consists mainly of raised bog and is the largest remaining Dutch bog area of the old Bourtanger moor. Here you can do beautiful biking and hiking and there is also the largest sheepfold in the Netherlands for natural grazing. This nature reserve is part of the international Nature Park Veenland, which is located both in the Netherlands and Germany with lots of attractive places to visit. By the way, on the grounds of the Shepherds hut there is also a shed with a double socket, where you can keep your own bikes safe and dry and charge them.

Just perfect!
Gewoon perfect!
I spent four nights in the Shepherd's Hut and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this lovely spot.
My goal was to take some time for myself, and this cottage is perfect for that.
It has everything you need, and if you appreciate a little comfort like I do, you're in for a wonderful stay.Ik heb 4 nachten doorgebracht in de Shepherd's hut en enorm genoten van de rust op dit heerlijke plekje.
Mijn doel was om even tot mijzelf te komen en dan is dit huisje perfect.
Alles is aanwezig en als je ook van een beetje comfort houd zoals ik dan heb je een heerlijk verblijf.This text is automatically translated. -

We couldn't do some things because of the heat. But all in all, it was great. We'd definitely do it again.
Peter and Jean. From Eindhoven.Sommige dingen niet kunnen doen vanwege hitte. Maar al met al super. Voor herhaling vatbaar.
Peter en Jean. Uit Eindhoven.A warm welcome from Irma and Gerard. The Pipo cottage was wonderful. Everything we needed was there, even coffee and spices. There were several seating areas outside. With the heat we were experiencing, there was always a shady spot, and we were given birdseed. Beautiful finches, dunnocks, and blackbirds came to feed on it. All in all, a beautiful, large garden. Thank you so much, Irma and Gerard.
Een vriendelijke ontvangst van Irma en Gerard. Het pipo huisje was geweldig. Alles aanwezig, zelfs koffie en kruiden. Buiten verschillende zitjes. Met de hitte die wij hadden, altijd een schaduw plekje, we kregen vogelvoeder. Daar kwamen prachtige vinken, heggemussen, merels op af. Al met al een prachtige grote tuin. Dank je wel Irma en Gerard.

Everything has been thought of. From kitchen utensils to air conditioning. From coffee to toilet paper. From warm blanket for chilly evenings to firewood,
Er is aan alles gedacht. Van keukengerei tot airco. Van koffie tot toiletpapier. Van warme deken voor frisse avonden tot stookhout,
Lovely quiet environment and good base for exploring nature. Both on re bike and on foot.
Heerlijk rustig omgeving en goede uitvalsbasis voor de natuur te verkennen. Zowel op re fiets als te voet.
