Nature house in Westerbork
Drenthe, Netherlands
- 6 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Waking up in the middle of a forest and near the moor. Walking along the Milky Way trail past the largest radio telescopes in Europe and the largest sandbox in Drenthe. Cycling to monument village Orvelte or past the dolmens in the area. It's all possible if you book your weekend away or your (mini) vacation in bungalow De Specht. This bungalow has 3 bedrooms and a spacious living room with kitchen. Washer and dryer are available. For small children it is the ideal place for outdoor play and cycling. In November 2024, the bathroom will be completely renewed! So if you book after December 1, you will have the luxury of a nice shower and new plumbing.
Nature and surroundings
The small-scale recreation park De Oostermaat (municipality of Midden-Drenthe) is located on a vast natural plateau and near farmland. Without asphalt or lampposts, where at night the stars can still be counted and also during the day a benevolent peace reigns. The bungalow is at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there is only local traffic. From the park are beautiful cycling and walking routes. There are no facilities at the park. But in Westerbork, 2km away, is an outdoor swimming pool, several restaurants and stores.

We thought it was a really nice, clean, and beautifully decorated cottage; we even brought our own fence so the dogs could run around in the yard without any worries. The beds were super comfortable! And the spacious bathroom—which included a rain shower with heated floors—was definitely a plus.
The kitchen was lovely, with a spacious fridge-freezer that had plenty of room for frozen food—enough for three dogs for a week.
We even watered Gerard (the plant), haha.
We’d definitely love to come back to this beautiful nature house someday.Wij vonden het een heel leuk, schoon en mooi ingericht huisje, wij hadden zelf een omheining mee om de honden onbezorgd in de tuin te kunnen laten lopen. De bedden lagen super! En de ruime badkamer met o.a een stortdouche met vloerverwarming was ook geen straf.
Mooie keuken met een ruime koel/vriescombinatie met genoeg ruimte voor diepvriesvoer, voor 3 honden voor een week.
Wij hebben gerard (de plant) ook nog water gegeven haha.
Wij komen zeker graag een keer terug naar dit mooie natuurhuisje.We went on some wonderful walks with the dogs in the area; the beautiful natural surroundings, the peace and quiet, and the total darkness for stargazing were amazing.
We hebben heerlijke wandelingen gemaakt met de honden in de omgeving, mooie natuur en de rust, stilte en totale duisternis om sterren te kijken waren geweldig.

Had a wonderful two weeks
Heerlijke 2 wkn gehad
A nice, spacious house with all the amenities. For me personally (since I have MS), the step at the entrance was a bit difficult to manage. But the air conditioning more than made up for it. I enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles, biking, hiking, swimming, and visiting cities. Plenty to do.
Lekker ruim huis van alle gemakken voorzien. Voor mij persoonlijk ( ik heb namelijk m.s.) was de opstap bij de ingang een beetje lastig om te nemen. Maar de airco maakte weer heel veel goed. Lekker legpuzzels gemaakt , gefietst, gewandeld gezwommen en steden bezocht. Genoeg te doen

I'd love to come back
Gerne wieder
Very idyllic location, great amenities: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, electric kettle, washing machine, dryer, TV, hair dryer. Parking right next to the house. It’s a good 25-minute walk to town, where you’ll find restaurants, a supermarket, a drugstore, and public transportation.
When a problem arose with the shower drain, the landlord responded immediately and had it repaired within 24 hours—even though it was a Saturday.
If we ever go back to Assen for the MotoGP, hopefully this place will still be available.Sehr idyllisch gelegen, Ausstattung super, WLAN, Klima, Toaster, Mikrowelle, Spülmaschine, Kaffeemaschine, Wasserkocher, Waschmaschine, Trockner, TV, Fön. Parken direkt am Haus. Gut 25min zu Fuß in den Ort, wo es Gaststätten, Supermarkt, Drogeriemarkt, ÖPNV gibt.
Als ein Problem mit dem Duschablauf auftrat, hat die Vermieterin sofort reagiert und das Samstags innerhalb von 24h reparieren lassen.
Wenn wir wieder mal zum MotoGP nach Assen fahren, die Unterkunft ist dann hoffentlich noch frei.This text is automatically translated.
