In the front house of our residential farmhouse in the small, beautifully located nature house is an independent apartment for guests. The 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 fridge, coffee, tea, crockery and warming facilities. 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 flying over and the horses walking by. Regularly in the morning we have fresh eggs from our chickens.

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.

    Fine, neat clean house for a few days stay. Wonderfully warm. Too bad there is no TV.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Fine welcome with a friendly card and bottle of wine. We had a great time despite the rainy days. Were mainly out and about in nature. If we came home with wet clothes we could dry them well on the heaters. Wanted to watch soccer but had to watch it on laptop due to lack of TV. But we understand the choice not to place a TV.

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.
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).
