The cozy apartment has its own entrance, bedroom with double bed, bathroom with toilet and shower and living room. On the side is a small terrace where you can have breakfast or read a book. In the living room there is also a refrigerator, coffee, tea, crockery and warming facilities. There are board games, books and a record player, but no television. Here you can completely relax and enjoy nature. The house is located in the middle of the small village of Balloo, surrounded by greenery and detached farms. Here you can hear the birds, see the storks fly over and the horses walk by. Regularly in the morning we have fresh eggs from our chickens. Price includes cleaning and bed / bath linen.
Nature and surroundings
Balloo is a small esdorp with only 160 inhabitants, located in the middle of the national park Drentse Aa and the UNESCO global geopark De Hondsrug. The Balloërveld and Kampsheide fields surround the village. You can therefore enjoy beautiful hiking and cycling in the area. Just steps away in the village is an organic farm store, and the neighboring village of Rolde (5 min cycling) is a lively village with supermarkets, butcher, baker, drugstore and various restaurants. The Pieterpad and Sint Jacobspad walk a few hundred meters from the apartment. Assen is less than 10 minutes away and the intercity train station can be reached in 15 min by bike/7 min by car. The city of Groningen is about 30 min by car. At 1 km from our guesthouse is a bus stop with connection to Assen station.

We had a tremendous time at nature house the Bolderstee. Very friendly landlords who clearly value your privacy. Many beautiful nature and dolmens in the immediate vicinity. Stores in Rolde just 5 minutes by bike. Even closer, in Balloo itself, is a farm store with natural products and delicious ice cream. Also recommended are the date chocolates you can buy nearby at a small (unmanned) stall.
We hebben het enorm naar ons zin gehad in natuurhuisje de Bolderstee. Zeer vriendelijke verhuurders die duidelijk waarde hechten aan je privacy. Af en toe komt de kat even gezellig kopjes geven als je buiten zit.
Veel mooie natuur en hunebedden in de directe omgeving. Winkels in Rolde op maar 5 minuten fietsen. Nog dichterbij, in Balloo zelf, is een boerderijwinkel met natuurproducten en heerlijk ijs. Ook aan te raden zijn de dadelbonbons die je vlakbij kunt kopen bij een klein (onbemand) stalletje.A lovely quiet cottage, surrounded by the sound of many birds (including an oriole!). We had fantastic hiking and biking in both the immediate area and a little further away.
Een heerlijk rustig huisje, omringd door het geluid van vele vogels (waaronder een wielewaal!). We hebben fantastisch gewandeld en gefietst in zowel de directe omgeving als iets verder weg.
