Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located on the edge of Lake Zuidlaardermeer in northern Drenthe. The Zuidlaardermeer offers opportunities for swimming, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing. From Midlaren, it’s just a 5-minute drive to the tourist village of Zuidlaren, which has many shops and restaurants. Haren and Groningen are also within easy reach. The area around Midlaren is ideal for bike rides and hikes (Noordlaarderbos, the 50-Bunder, or Appelbergen). It’s located on the northern edge of the Drentsche Aa region and Geopark De Hondsrug. The cottage is therefore the perfect place to stay for those hiking the Pieterpad. At the Zuidlaardermeer, you’ll find cozy pavilions where you can also rent a rowboat. For golf enthusiasts: there’s a beautiful golf course in Glimmen, just three kilometers away.

    A wonderfully well-equipped cottage, very nicely decorated, with a beautiful terrace in a quiet location along a small canal overlooking meadows. It’s lovely to have breakfast in the sun. The inventory is very extensive, including a washer and dryer, plenty of dishes, and all those little things you look for. Spacious living room with a sofa set, dining table, and TV. The beds were comfortable, the comforters were warm—standard quality. Well-maintained. Spacious bathroom on the ground floor with a nice shower; there’s an additional toilet upstairs.
    One downside for us: the smallest room (with two single beds) is very small, cannot be darkened, and the window doesn’t open. That made it difficult for two adults to sleep there.

    Great!

    There’s plenty to do in the area and plenty to see. You can go on bike rides that take you past dolmens, through heathland, farmland, and forests. But renting a boat and sailing on the Zuidlaardermeer gives you a completely different perspective on nature.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A gem in northern Drenthe! We wanted for nothing in this absolutely beautiful 6-person house. The house has been furnished with great care and is equipped with many extras, for both adults and children. It’s located in a very peaceful setting with a terrace right on the water. Having breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the terrace by the water is really a must—one moment we were surprised by a little deer, the next by a kingfisher, and while the Scottish Highland cattle on the other side of the water grazed peacefully.
