Welcome to this charming, cozy cottage (Dec. 2024), located near Dwingelderveld National Park and close to Drents-Friese Wold National Park. This cottage offers the ideal setting for a wonderful stay surrounded by nature, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and completely unwind. The architect-designed cottage (architect Nynke-Rixt Jukema), spread over three floors, has been furnished with care and taste, and its playful layout offers a unique sense of space. There are three compact bedrooms: two double beds (160x200), a bunk bed (80x200), two bathrooms, and two toilets, ensuring plenty of privacy and comfort for (young) families or active travelers seeking peace and quiet. The cottage is modern and comfortably equipped: underfloor heating throughout, a covered bike charging station, a Jotul wood stove, a Smart TV with fast streaming, and parking right outside the door. You’ll experience peace, comfort, and a sense of creativity!
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is playfully situated on one of the two hills and invites you to enjoy the nature around you, both indoors and outdoors. From the living room on the top floor, you have a view not only of the forest (where you might spot roe deer) but also of the Terhorsterzand/Dwingelderveld nature reserve. Here you’ll find heathlands, forests, ponds, and small lakes where you can enjoy plenty of hiking, biking, and swimming. You can relax in the morning sun on the terrace and in the evening under the porch. On quiet nights, you can truly experience the darkness here and gaze at the stars. A shared, simply heated swimming pool (open in June, July, and August—free for campground guests) is a 300-meter walk away. Located on a dead-end road, bordering a forest and heathland, there are about 12 different cottages on private property, some of which are still under construction through September 2026. For more information: search for “dwaalsterren”! Fancy a late checkout or a lazy Sunday? This is available upon request.

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!
Leider 2 Punkte Abzug
Der Pool ist leider viel weiter als 50m entfernt und lädt keinesfalls zum Verweilen ein und zum schönen Poolnachmittg mit den Kindern.
Essen und Trinken ist dort nicht erlaubt, Sitzgelegenheiten gibt es leider auch nicht.
Unter Beheizt verstehen wir leider auch etwas anderes.
Antwort des Vermieters:
Der Pool ist auch über die Sackgasse und einen Waldweg zu erreichen. Das ist der kürzeste Weg! Neben dem Pool gibt es eine Campingkantine, in der man zu angemessenen Preisen etwas essen und trinken kann. Alles ist in der Tat einfach. Das Ferienhaus liegt jedoch am Rande des Naturschutzgebiets Terhorsterzand. Hier gibt es einen sehr schönen Badesee mit einem kleinen Strand mitten im Wald. Etwas weiter entfernt, aber wirklich wunderschön, auf jeden Fall eine Entdeckung wert!Very quiet location right on the edge of the forest near the heathland
Sehr ruhig gelegen
Direkt am Waldrand in der Nähe der HeidelandschaftThis text is automatically translated.
