Nature and surroundings
The cottage is in the nature reserve itself! The National Park (NP) Dwingelderveld is one of the largest wet moors in Europe, with forests, vast heaths, fens and marshes. Far away from highways, parking lots and bungalow parks, this is also the quietest side of the Dwingelderveld, from where you can take day-long nature walks. Brinkdorpjes Dwingeloo and Ruinen are a 10-minute drive away, with stores, eateries and (outdoor) swimming pools. Just a 15-minute walk away is Ansen's only, very cozy eatery Tante Ans. The wooded garden is large and sheltered, including a six-seater dining table with comfortable chairs, with good deck chairs for summer, and with a trampoline, a swing and enough space for the children to play soccer. You can park on private property, the last 250m are unpaved but passable.

Ronald December 29, 2025 General rating:The location of the cottage is beautiful only not completely free of fireworks unfortunately what our dog and we did not really like as we flee from the house for the fireworks.And too bad that the cottage is an investor and so you have no contact with the owner but with an intermediary who invariably refers to the owner when a complaint.
And so there is no love for the cottage. There is a dishwasher in it but no dishwasher cubes to be found, no coffee cups, no tea bag, no hand soap in the kitchen and for dessert you also get to make your own bed! Oh well we only paid 1000 euros.Furthermore,I don't understand at all why there is no microwave while the oven is too dirty to handle,the grease from the roast was still in it and certainly hasn't been cleaned in ages.The shower wasn't clean and the shower door was full of tinkers and splatters.We were really looking forward to it but it turned out to be a disappointment unfortunately.De ligging van het huisje is prachtig alleen niet helemaal vrij van vuurwerk helaas wat ons hondje en wij niet echt prettig vonden daar we uit huis vluchten voor het vuurwerk.
En jammer dat het huisje van een belegger is en je dus geen contact hebt met de eigenaar maar met een bemiddelaar die steevast bij een klacht verwijst naar de eigenaar.
En er dus ook geen liefde voor het huisje zit.
Er zit een vaatwasser in maar geen vaatwasblokjes te vinden, geen koffiecupjes, geen theezakje, geen handzeep in de keuken en als toetje mag je ook nog je eigen bed opmaken! Ach we hebben maar 1000 euro betaald.
Verder snap ik al helemaal niet waarom er geen magnetron staat terwijl de oven te vies is om aan te pakken, het vet van de rollade lag er nog in en is zeker in tijden niet schoon gemaakt.
De douche was niet schoon en de douchedeur zat vol met sleuters en spetters.
We hadden ons er erg op verheugd maar het werd een teleurstelling helaas.Nature, peace & environment:Not clean, no microwave, and we didn't sleep a wink because there were fireworks going off until 5 a.m..
Niet schoon, geen magnetron en we hebben geen oog dichtgedaan omdat er tot 5 uur 's-nachts vuurwerk afgestoken werd.

GMM June 13, 2025 General rating:It is a nice cottage, practical and large, ground floor.
Het is een fijn huisje, praktisch en groot, gelijkvloers.
Nature, peace & environment:The cottage has a large garden and borders the forest of the Dwingelderveld.
Het huisje heeft een grote tuin en grenst aan het bos van het Dwingelderveld.

Marijke November 8, 2024 General rating:The cottage was still missing a few things. We passed that through the landlord. Another tip: multiple trash/garbage cans to separate waste. And a plug in the sink to save water.
Het huisje miste nog een paar dingen. Dat hebben we via de verhuurder doorgegeven.
Nog een tip: meerdere prullen-/ vuilnisbakken om afval te scheiden. En een stop in de wastafel om water te besparen.Nature, peace & environment:Very quiet. Beautiful surroundings; we few birds and other animals. May have to do with the time of year.
Erg rustig. Prachtige omgeving.
We weinig vogels en andere dieren. Kan te maken hebben met het jaargetijde.This text is automatically translated.
