5/5

This nature house is located on our property—yet in a secluded spot—between the orchard and the large pond. It’s a beautiful, spacious house that sleeps 2 (or 3 by arrangement) in Ekehaar, near Assen. The former pasture has since grown into a beautiful orchard and a biodiverse nature area where butterflies, birds, flowers, plants, and people all thrive. Come spot birds and deer, go for a walk, work, and/or relax. You’ll enjoy plenty of privacy and have access to a private parking spot, a bike shed with charging stations for e-bikes, a patio, and a fire pit. Use of a charging station is available by arrangement. Included: bed, bath, and kitchen linens; Nespresso machine + capsules; tea; salt and pepper; shampoo; conditioner; and body wash. Our cottage is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, seniors, cyclists, and hikers, allowing you to fully enjoy the silence, tranquility, privacy, and comfort. Due to current gas prices, we are unfortunately forced to increase the rate by €10 per night from October 15 to March 15.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located in the Drentsche Aa National Park. This park offers beautiful hiking and biking trails through a unique stream valley landscape. Along the way, enjoy a nice cup of coffee or a meal in one of the charming villages, get lost in the Balloërveld with its information center and sheepfold, or follow the stream as it meanders through the landscape. You can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, and maybe even spot some wildlife. There are also several long and short walking and biking routes starting from Tussen Appel en Eik. Assen, with its variety of shops, a museum, and restaurants, is 5 km away, and Groningen is 30 km away. Easily accessible by public transit and bike (20 minutes) from the Assen train station.

    A perfectly furnished cottage with everything you need for a relaxing week. Cozy and super clean. You can sit comfortably on the big sofa and look out at nature through the panoramic window, or sit right out in the garden. We were here to go biking and were able to go on many beautiful rides. Very nice hosts who welcomed us with a delicious cake and a personalized card and gave us lots of great tips. We felt very at home!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A lovely little cottage right in the middle of the national park, with plenty of beautiful outdoor seating areas overlooking an orchard, a pond, the forest, and fields. The perfect starting point for many great bike rides through the forest, fields, and heathland.

    A great little cottage. They’ve thought of everything. A beautiful garden that offers plenty of privacy.
    Friendly and helpful owners.

    A peaceful setting, close to Assen. A great base for lovely walks and/or bike rides through the many nature areas in the area.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Nice little cottage. Cozy decor. You’ll have everything you need.
    Plenty of privacy and space around the cottage in the garden.
    Located in a quiet area, yet close to Assen (groceries and shopping) and nature (peace and quiet, hiking, and biking).
