This national monument, dating from 1860, is magnificent and oh-so-beautifully simple. It stands in the heart of the Noardlike Fryske Wâlden, the beautiful bocage landscape. Since 2021, we’ve been living in this farmhouse with our three young children. At the back of the “pleats,” we built two cottages with our own hands: “de ko” and “it skiep.” Upon entering, you’ll see the barn on one side and the cottages on the other. “De ko” is a cozy 40m2 space, fully equipped with all modern conveniences and offering privacy. Private entrance. Welcome with coffee/tea and a traditional Frisian treat. Kitchen: fully equipped with an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, and kitchen linens. Private bathroom: toilet, bathtub, rain shower, hair dryer, towels, shower gel, and shampoo. Comfortable electrically adjustable bed with luxury mattresses. Terrace and various seating areas with views of the meadows. iPad (instead of TV) with internet and streaming capabilities. Seating area with a sofa. Lime-free water. Air conditioning. Beautifully adjustable lighting. Breakfast available upon request, €12.50 per person per morning.

    General rating: 9 /10

    Especially warm and welcoming welcome. Spacious nicely designed studio in the old stable with a small exhibition of old tools. Spacious terrace for reading, eating or just looking out. Great bed and good and new plumbing and kitchen.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A surprisingly quiet place in the northern Frisian forests, beautiful scenery and starting point for great walking and cycling. In Drachten, visit the Rinsema house and the Dr8888 museum.
