Friesland, Netherlands

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!

sape December 29, 2025 General rating: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.Nature, peace & environment: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.

Mc. Jack December 27, 2025 General rating:With some possible adjustments to the electricity, which regularly goes on and off, it will be fine. Good for the dog, but not generally suitable for people over 70, there is a double bed available but in the height, where you have to come up with a small staircase, also the shower in the other shack has some adjustments, in winter no hot jet.
Met wat mogelijke aanpassingen aan de elektriciteit, welke regelmatig aan en uit gaat, zal het in orde komen.
Goed voor de hond, maar niet algemeen geschikt voor mensen boven de 70, er is een twee persoonsbed aanwezig maar in de hoogte, waar je met een klein trapje naar boven moet komen, ook de douche in de andere keet kent wat aanpassingen, in de winter geen warme straal.Nature, peace & environment:It was an adventure in itself, two evenings on Frisian land in Donkerbroek, tranquility all around, plenty of space and beautiful nature even in winter, for us it was suitable because our boomer went along the dog also had fun, the best was still the stoking of the wood stove where you had to gather wood.
Making coffee was difficult, but we solved that with Nescafe and hot water with the kettle. pot in French coffee brewing 1 time used took a little long. Friendly reception from the hostess nice friendly lady and neatly explained everything and helped us unload the car.Het was een avontuur op zich, twee avonden op Fries land in Donkerbroek, rust alom, ruimte genoeg en mooie natuur ook in de winter, voor ons was het geschikt omdat onze boomer mee ging de hond had het ook naar zijn zin, het leukste was nog het stoken van de houtkachel waar je zelf hout voor moest sprokkelen.
Koffie zetten was was lastig, maar dat hebben we opgelost met Nescafe en warm water met de waterkoker.
Potje op zijn Frans koffiezetten 1 maal gebruikt duurde wel wat lang.
Vriendelijke ontvangst van de gastvrouw leuk vriendelijke dame en netjes alles uitgelegd en ons geholpen met het lostrekken van de auto.This text is automatically translated. -
janneke October 24, 2025 General rating:Oh and a tent on the grounds will fit just fine!
Oh en een tentje op het terrein past prima!
Nature, peace & environment:Lovely place. Private, in the middle of t green, sustainable appearance. Weekend with very bad weather, but t stay was a great adventure, light a fire, through storm and rain to t toilet, with boots through the mud. Fine place to relax. And very friendly hostess and gentleman. We go again when the sun shines!
Heerlijk plekje. Prive, midden in t groen, duurzame uitstraling. Weekendje met heel slecht weer, maar t verblijf was een groot avontuur, vuurtje stoken, door storm en regen naar t toilet, met laarzen door de modder. Fijn plekje om te onthaasten. En hele vriendelijke gastvrouw en heer. We gaan ook nog een keertje als de zon schijnt!
