This detached home, built in 1961, has been fully modernized (A+++). It is heated by a heat pump, and electricity is generated by solar panels. In the winter, there is also the option of using a wood stove. From the living room, there is a beautiful, unobstructed view of the fields. The simple kitchen has everything you need to prepare a good meal (oven, microwave, dishwasher, induction cooktop, pots, pans, plates, cutlery, spices, and oil). Coffee and tea are also provided. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and a jacuzzi tub. Upstairs is the bedroom with a double bed. What makes this home so special is that it’s located in a quiet spot where, at most, you’ll see some farm traffic passing by. Here, you can literally step away from the world for a while. I live in an apartment in the barn and would be happy to give you a tour of the house upon your arrival. Contactless check-in is an option if desired.
Nature and surroundings
The property adjacent to the cottage spans over 3 hectares and features a large organic vegetable garden, an orchard, and many shrubs and flowers. Over the past year, many plants have been added to promote biodiversity. Farm swallows nest in the barn, and various other small birds feel right at home here. There is a falcon’s nest on the property that has been inhabited in recent years. A hedgehog lives in the orchard. In this area, you often see roe deer, hares, harriers, pheasants, and buzzards. The entire area is known for the many migratory birds that pass through. The property is located 700 meters from the seawall, which overlooks the salt marshes and the mudflats. In addition to this beautiful nature reserve, there are other nature areas in the vicinity that are well worth visiting, such as the Lauwersmeer area and the Klutenplas. You can also enjoy wonderful bike rides past small villages, old churches, and manor houses.

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.
Geweldig huis op een meer dan fantastische plek. Het "huisje" in "natuurhuisje" is een understatement. Je logeert in een volwaardige, vrijstaande en van alle gemakken voorziene woning. Ondanks dat het 's nachts buiten richting het vriespunt ging en we op één dag met windkracht 5 te maken hadden bleef het in het huis ontzettend aangenaam. Lichte woonkamer met fijne meubels, ruime keuken, lekkere douche in een mooie badkamer en een meer dan goed bed. Daarnaast is het in de tuin heerlijk toeven. Ondanks dat het huisje lekker afgelegen ligt sta je m.b.v. de auto binnen 10 minuten bij een supermarkt. Ernst, de gastheer, is een geweldige kerel. Als gastvrijheid nog niet had bestaan dan had hij het wel uitgevonden. Kortom: wij vonden het altijd een beetje vreemd dat mensen meerdere keren naar dezelfde vakantiebestemming gingen, maar sinds deze week snappen we dat.
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.
Natuur, rust en ruimte zijn volop aanwezig. Mooie vergezichten waardoor 's ochtends door de ramen van de woonkamer de zonsopgang en de mooie lucht boven de weilanden en de zee goed te zien zijn. Blijf daarna dan vooral nog een tijd zitten kijken om de natuur te zien ontwaken in de vorm van reeën, hazen en heel veel vogels die zich elke dag tot heel dicht bij het huisje (sommigen zelfs onder het raam) komen melden. Een hele korte wandeling (+- 700m) brengt je op de zeedijk waar je, tussen de schapen door, langs de zee/kwelders kan wandelen en op 2,5 km van het huisje begint het Pieterpad dat door prachtige natuurgebieden loopt. Met de auto ben je binnen 20 minuten bij het Lauwersmeer waar je meerdere hele mooie routes kan wandelen. Om het huisje is het, op de geluiden van de natuur na, heerlijk stil. Overdag heel licht en 's nachts heel donker. Slechts in de verte zijn 's nachts wat lichtjes van buren te zien.

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.
Mooi uitzicht dus, lekker rustig, waardoor de natuur prevaleert.
Het huisje voldoet prima, naast de verwarming en ventilatie is er de houtkachel om het extra warm en gezellig te maken. Het is fijn om via de zijkant in en uit te gaan, dat is een hal die wat verlaagd ligt wat het gevoel geeft een boerderijtje binnen te komen. Daar kunnen je vuile laarzen staan...
De eigenaar is erg aardig en geeft een degelijke rondleiding.
Er staat genoeg te lezen literatuur en andere boeken om in te neuzen.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.
Lekker stil wat betreft mensen, het is bijzonder als je iemand langs ziet komen. Er zijn regelmatig buiten geweest naar de dijk en de kwelder, maar ook binnen was de natuur prachtig om bezig te zien: veel ramen om de diverse weersgesteldheden te zien afwisselen, reeën, hazen, Wulp en fazanten langs te zien lopen/ vliegen. De golvende rietkragen etc.
Wij waren er maar een paar dagen, als ik er een week of langer was geweest was ik ook meer in de regio gaan kijken ter afwisseling.This text is automatically translated. -
