This detached house built in 1961 has been completely updated to modern times (A+++). It is heated via a heat pump and power is provided by solar panels. In winter there is also the possibility of stoking a wood stove. From the living room there is a beautiful unobstructed view over the fields. The simple kitchen has everything to prepare a good meal (oven, microwave, dishwasher, induction hob, pots, pans, plates, cutlery, spices and oil). There is also coffee and tea. The bathroom has a walk-in shower as well as a Jacuzzi bathtub. Upstairs is the bedroom with a double bed. What makes the house so special is that it is located in a quiet place where at most some agricultural traffic passes by. In this place you literally take a break from the world. I myself live in an apartment in the barn and will gladly give you a tour of the house upon arrival. If desired, contactless is an option.

Nature and surroundings

The yard to which the cottage adjoins is over 3 acres on which there is a large organic vegetable garden, an orchard and many shrubs and flowers. In the last year much has been planted to promote biodiversity. Farm swallows nest in the barn and several other small birds feel at home here. On the property is a falcon's nest that has been inhabited in recent years. A hedgehog dwells in the orchard. In this area you often see deer, hares, harriers, pheasants and buzzards. The whole area is known for the many migratory birds that pass by. The farmyard is 700 meters from the sea dike that overlooks the salt marshes and mud flats. Besides that beautiful nature reserve, there are also nearby nature reserves worth visiting such as the Lauwersmeer area and the Klutenplas. In addition, you can make beautiful bike rides past small villages, old churches and borgen.

    Great house in a more than fantastic place. To say "cottage" in "nature house" is an understatement. You stay in a full-sized, detached and fully equipped house. Despite the fact that at night it went towards freezing outside and we had to deal with wind force 5 on one day it remained incredibly pleasant in the house. Bright living room with fine furniture, spacious kitchen, nice shower in a nice bathroom and a more than good bed. In addition, the garden is lovely. Although the house is nice and remote, you can reach a supermarket within 10 minutes by car. Ernst, the host, is a great guy. If hospitality had not already existed he would have invented it. In short: we always found it a bit strange that people go to the same vacation destination more than once, but since this week we understand.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Nature, peace and quiet and space are abundant. Beautiful views so that in the morning through the windows of the living room the sunrise and the beautiful sky over the meadows and the sea can be seen. After that, especially stay for a while watching nature awaken in the form of deer, hares and lots of birds that come very close to the cottage every day (some even under the window). A very short walk (+- 700m) brings you to the sea dyke where you can walk, between the sheep, along the sea / salt marshes and at 2.5 km from the cottage starts the Pieterpad that runs through beautiful nature reserves. By car you are within 20 minutes at the Lauwersmeer where you can walk several very beautiful routes. Around the cottage it is, except for the sounds of nature, wonderfully quiet. Very light during the day and very dark at night. Only in the distance at night some lights of neighbors can be seen.

    Nice view so, nice and quiet, so nature prevails. The cottage is fine, in addition to heating and ventilation, there is the wood stove to make it extra warm and cozy. It is nice to go in and out through the side, which is a hall that is somewhat lowered which gives the feeling of entering a farmhouse. Your dirty boots can stand there... The owner is very nice and gives a solid tour. There is plenty of literature to read and other books to browse.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Nice and quiet in terms of people, it's special when you see someone passing by. We regularly went outside to the dike and the salt marsh, but also inside nature was beautiful to see busy: many windows to see the various weather conditions alternating, deer, hares, Curlew and pheasants walking / flying by. The undulating sedges etc. We were only there for a few days, if I had been there for a week or more I would have also been looking more in the region for variety.

    A warm welcome in a house to feel at home. Cozy and equipped with everything you need including a phenomenal wide view. Tranquility and away from all the daily stimuli.
