Nature and surroundings

The cottage is playfully placed on one of the two hills and invites you to enjoy the nature around you, both inside and outside. From the living room on the top floor, you not only have a view of forest (spot deer) but also over the nature reserve Terhorsterzand/Dwingelderveld. Here are moors, forests, fens and lakes where plenty of walking, cycling and swimming can be enjoyed. Enjoy the sun on the terrace in the morning and in the evening under the porch. In the quiet nights you can still really experience the darkness here and discover the stars. A shared simple heated swimming pool (open in June, July and August=free/camping) is 300 meters walking distance. On a cul-de-sac, bordering forest and heathland, there are some 12 different cottages on private property. See also our own website: wandering stars. Fancy a late check-out until 6 p.m.? You can! For €75 (low)/100 high season: on request. Discover 1 of the 4 Wandering Stars, be surprised and inspired!

    Unfortunately 2 points deduction The pool is unfortunately much further than 50m away and in no way invites you to linger and have a nice pool afternoon with the children. Eating and drinking is not allowed there, unfortunately there is also no seating. Unfortunately, we also understand something else by heated. Answer from the landlord: The pool can also be reached via the dead end and a forest path. This is the shortest way! There is a campsite canteen next to the pool where you can eat and drink at reasonable prices. Everything is indeed simple. However, the vacation home is on the edge of the Terhorsterzand nature reserve. There is a very nice swimming lake with a small beach in the middle of the forest. A little further away, but really beautiful, definitely worth discovering!

    Very quiet location right on the edge of the forest near the heathland

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
Selection of activities
After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
