In a special place at the very back of our yard you can come and spend the night in our Pipowagen. The wagon has a double raised bed of 140x210cm, a kitchenette with 2 hotplates and a refrigerator. All kitchen utensils, incl coffee, tea, salt and pepper and olive oil are provided. You have your own eco toilet and shower, in a separate adjacent cart. You can also take a nice cold shower outside! In winter you fire up the wood stove, in summer you open the doors and listen to the sounds of the many birds. You are in the middle of nature with beautiful views of meadows with wooded banks, you experience the weather on the spot. The sun rises on one side and visibly sets on the other. Would you like to come with 2 extra people? Then bring your own tent and sleeping equipment. There is plenty of room to stand by the Wagon in total privacy! Halfway across our yard is another Nature House, the Stable. Suitable to book both with a group or a large family.
Nature and surroundings
De Wagen is located in Donkerbroek in the most southeastern tip of Friesland. Groningen and Drenthe are just around the corner. The landscape is special: no endless meadows and lakes, but rather many woods and tree walls, interspersed with meadows. Surrounded by beautiful nature reserves where it is excellent walking or cycling. Lauswolt, Olterterp, Duurswouderheide, Fochteloerveen, National Park Drents-Friese Wold including Appelscha. The prison village Veenhuizen, brewery Maallust, a day of sauna in Boijl, the picturesque village Oldeberkoop. There are 2 excellent MTB routes and on the Tjonger you can enjoy supping. Who wants to rent a boat to go on the Frisian Lakes: Drachten offers it! And who wants to go to town: within half an hour you are in Leeuwarden or Groningen. A day trip to the islands.....that's not too far either!

Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature. The mobile home is cozy and fully equipped with all the amenities you need. The owners, Linda and Bart, are incredibly friendly and helpful people who really made my special two-week stay there complete.
Een absolute aanrader voor wie tot rust wil komen en wil genieten van de natuur. De pipowagen is knus ingericht en is van alle gemakken voorzien. De eigenaren, Linda en Bart, zijn super leuke en behulpzame mensen en maakten mijn bijzondere ervaring van twee weken daar helemaal af.
The mobile home is located at the very back of the property, giving you a truly private spot all to yourself. Nicely tucked away among the trees, you have a view of the meadows and hedgerows. At dusk, I spotted a roe deer in the distance almost every day, and near the mobile home you’re surrounded by many different kinds of birds.
The surrounding area offers plenty of options for walks and bike rides, both right from the property and just a short drive away. The Drents-Friese Wold is less than a ten-minute drive away and is definitely worth a visit.De pipowagen staat helemaal achter op het erf, waardoor je echt een plekje voor jezelf hebt. Fijn verscholen tussen de bomen kijk je uit op de weilanden en houtwallen. In de schemer spotte ik vrijwel dagelijks een ree in de verte en bij de wagen word je omringd door vele soorten vogels.
De omgeving biedt genoeg opties voor wandelingen en fietstochten. Zowel direct vanaf het erf als met een stukje rijden met de auto. Het Drents-Friese Wold zit op nog geen tien minuten rijden afstand en is ook zeker de moeite waard.This text is automatically translated. -

The mobile home is simple but comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable to sleep in. Our dog had somehow found his way into the adjacent field, so unfortunately he couldn’t run around completely off-leash, but we solved that with a long leash. Linda gave us a warm welcome!
De pipowagen is basic maar comfortabel, en het bed sliep heerlijk. Onze hond had toch een weg naar het naastgelegen veld gevonden dus hij kon helaas niet helemaal vrij loslopen, maar met een lange lijn was dat opgelost. Wij werden goed ontvangen door Linda!
A wonderful place to completely unwind. You’re truly all alone at the very back of the property, with just the birds and the horses.
Heerlijke plek om even helemaal tot rust te komen. Je zit echt alleen helemaal achteraan het erf, alleen met de vogels en de paarden.

I left after two nights because the stay was not sustainable for my dog and for me. In addition, despite prior promises that the sanitary car would be heated, it turned out that it was not heated. In the shower room it was about 0 degrees, similar to the outside temperature. Showering under these conditions was not comfortable or responsible for me. Landlord's response: We also experienced more noise from fireworks, which was the same nationwide. Wind and wind direction are also determining factors. The only thing we can do, and do every year, is to tell guests in advance what the previous years were like with fireworks during New Year's Eve.
Ik ben na twee nachten vertrokken omdat het verblijf voor mijn hond en voor mij niet langer vol te houden was.
Daarnaast bleek de sanitaire wagen, ondanks voorafgaande toezegging dat deze verwarmd zou zijn, niet verwarmd. In de doucheruimte was het circa 0 graden, vergelijkbaar met de buitentemperatuur. Douchen onder deze omstandigheden was voor mij niet comfortabel of verantwoord.
Reactie van verhuurder:
Wij hebben ook meer geluid van vuurwerk ervaren, dat was landelijk ook zo. Wind en windrichting zijn ook bepalend. Het enige wat wij kunnen doen en ook elk jaar doen, is op voorhand aan gasten aangeven hoe het de voorgaande jaren was met vuurwerk tijdens jaarwisselingen.A lot of fireworks were set off in the immediate area, which was clearly audible in the mobile homes.
In de directe omgeving werd veel vuurwerk afgestoken, dat duidelijk hoorbaar was in de pipowagen.
