Nature and surroundings

The nature house is uniquely located on a quiet, dead-end street that turns into a dirt road, less than 1 km from the village of Nieuw-Balinge. The cottage is located at the back of the garden and offers a lot of privacy. From the parking area in the yard you walk about 60 meters to the detached residence. At the end of the street starts the nature reserve "Mantingerzand", you walk out of the street and in no time you are in the middle of the nature reserve. If you cycle out of the street you are also immediately in the cycle junction network of Drenthe. Through these nodes you can easily discover Drenthe by bike. This makes it an ideal base for discovering the beautiful nature and atmospheric villages of Midden-Drenthe. The Dwingelderveld nature reserve is within easy reach and old villages like Gees, Aalden and Orvelte are nearby. Supermarket: 11km Train station: 12km Golf Course Martensplek: 2.5 km

    The friendly, young landlords have decorated the cottage tastefully and cozily. The workroom with good natural light is a nice addition. With good central heating and the wood stove on extra, this spacious house is warm everywhere quickly (February with snow and night frost). Super place for birders, writers, peace seekers. Slept wonderfully. Good and modern plumbing and kitchen.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The house stands in a quiet hoe of the garden overlooking the field where cranes and wild swans fly overhead. At sunset deer walk by. The concern that we would be bothered by N road was unfounded. In the morning you can hear work traffic, but in evenings and weekends it is quiet. Across that road, the nature reserve is not easily accessible to hikers. Our visit in February was during a snowfall and as a result we woke up in a very white world. The cottage is within walking distance of the hiking trails of the Mantingerveld and you can cross all the way to Boswachterij Gees. The dog is allowed on a leash on part of the trails along. To Voscheheugte with its juniper berries you walk in 1.5 hours, good food at the campsite. By bike there are more beautiful places within reach. Riding routes are at Gees, Sleenerzand or Ruinen. Recommendations: sculptures in Gees, Knipkunstmuseum in Westerbork (cut yourself!). note off-season opening hours.

    It is a very spacious and cozy nature house with several rooms and a good wood stove. There is even a separate workspace and a playroom for children. Friendly and service-oriented landlords.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A wonderful and quiet accommodation near a nature reserve! An ideal place to relax and a great base to explore the beautiful Drenthe.
