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.

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.

Fine cottage!
Prima huisje!
Beautiful place! The birds are whistling in abundance, you can hear them all day. Even saw the cuckoo (you usually only hear them). Friendly reception and you have a nice private place. Every day you can light a fire and relax in the garden. Of course the car is a bit cramped, but you choose that consciously. We did have one point of concern (bed was not quite right), but that was taken care of immediately. So highly recommended!
Mooie plek! De vogels fluiten vollop, je hoort ze de hele dag. Zelfs de koekoek gezien (die hoor je meestal alleen). Vriendelijk ontvangst en je hebt een fijne prive plek. Elke dag kun je vuurtje stoken en ontspannen in de tuin. Natuurlijk is de wagen wel wat krap, maar dat kies je bewust. We hadden wel een aandachtspunt (bed lag niet helemaal goed), maar daar werd gelijk naar gekeken. Dus een aanrader!

Great
Geweldig
It was very nicely decorated and completely complete and fully equipped. Nice and quiet and spacious also the environment. Very nice hostess who also makes delicious honey very nice. Too bad the weekend was already over.
Het was heel leuk ingericht en helemaal compleet en van alle gemakken voorzien. Lekker rustig en ruim ook de omgeving. Heel aardige gastvrouw die ook heerlijke honing maakt erg leuk. Jammer dat het weekend er al op zat.
