Nature and surroundings
The Sleenerzand is a beautiful area for endless walks. There are well-marked trails you can follow. Here, you’ll be guided through heathland, forests, and sand drifts. In much of the Sleenerzand, dogs are allowed to run off-leash year-round, provided they respond well to commands. A short distance from the nature house, you can enjoy a swim in the Kibbelkoele swimming lake. There are also countless opportunities for cyclists and mountain bikers to explore the beautiful surroundings. The zoo in Emmen is also well worth a visit, as is the charming museum village of Orvelte. For the active traveler, you can also visit the climbing park in Grolloo. You certainly won’t be bored in this beautiful area with its many activities. There’s something for every age and preference.

A cozy and quiet cottage. Belinda was very easy to communicate with, and everything was taken care of before our arrival. Unfortunately, despite the air fresheners, the cottage still smelled quite musty.
Fijn en rustig gelegen huisje. Belinda heeft een fijne manier van communiceren gehad en alles was op orde gebracht voor onze komst. Ondanks de geurverspreiders rook het huisje helaas toch redelijk muf.
A lovely, quiet cottage—a great base for us to hike the Pieterpad.
Heerlijk rustig gelegen huisje, goede uitvalsbasis voor ons om het Pieterpad te kunnen wandelen.

We didn't find the cottage very comfortable.
Wij vonden het huisje niet echt comfortabel.
The surroundings were beautiful, wide-open, and peaceful. The forests are gorgeous! The nature house was a bit of a letdown. We hadn’t realized it was a house in the woods, which made it dark and damp. The light in the kitchen wasn’t working, and there was only lighting above the counter. That made the kitchen even darker. Plus, both the faucet and the drain were leaking a bit, which wasn’t great either. We didn’t contact the landlord about these issues until the end of our stay. We should have done that sooner. Then she could have made sure the light was fixed. I did contact her about the central heating thermostat, which was acting up a bit. It worked fine again afterward.
De omgeving was prachtig, wijds en rustig. De bossen zijn prachtig! Het natuurhuisje viel tegen. We hadden ons niet gerealiseerd dat het een boshuisje was en daardoor donker en vochtig. De lamp in de keuken deed het niet en er was verlichting boven het aanrecht. Daardoor was de keuken extra donker. En de kraan en de afvoer lekten beiden wat ook niet zo fijn was. We hebben pas aan het eind van de huurperiode hierover contact opgenomen met de verhuurster. Dat hadden we eerder moeten doen. Dan had ze kunnen zorgen dat de lamp het weer deed. Ik heb wel contact opgenomen over de thermostaat van de cv die wat haperde. Die deed het daarna weer.

The house was clean, and it had everything you need...
Het huis was netjes, alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig..
The peace and quiet and nature were wonderful... we didn't see any animals, just birds...
De rust en natuur was geweldig.. we hebben geen dieren gezien alleen de vogels..
