NEW RENTAL!! A fully renovated (pet-free) detached, luxurious, and spacious forest bungalow from 2025, featuring a barrel sauna in the garden, nestled in the heart of the beautiful Drents Friese Wold. Spacious forest garden (2000 m²). This is a place to find inspiration! The house is fully equipped: a beautiful kitchen with a Boretti oven and a dishwasher, underfloor heating, a cozy gas fireplace, a modern bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower, and a utility room with a washer and dryer. We rent this bungalow to both 1 or 2 people looking for a weekend getaway and to families or multiple couples wishing to stay for a longer period. The master bedroom features a comfortable 180x200 cm double box-spring bed. The other two bedrooms have 90x200 cm single beds (box-springs / loft beds). Wi-Fi and a TV screen are available. No TV subscription. You can log in via your own TV app if desired. We look forward to welcoming you to this unique spot in Drenthe that we’d love to share with you!

Nature and surroundings

A private wooded garden (2,000 m²). The rear of the property faces the quiet main road to Diever. Garden with a barrel sauna (optional), forest paths, a fenced-in pond, and a playground.

From the garden, you can walk straight into the woods or out onto the heath. The Aekingerzand and Canadameer are just 3 km away. And a 10-minute bike ride will take you to the mountain bike trail. There are many hiking and biking trails in the Wateren area. A truly beautiful spot in Drenthe for those seeking peace and nature lovers, with or without children. There are also several museums, an organic-vegetarian restaurant, various other cozy restaurants, a sauna complex, and outdoor swimming pools about 10 to 15 minutes away by car.

    All around are forests, moors and meadows, wonderful in nature!

    Along the back there is a through road that sometimes gave some crowds. Very nice spacious house, well cared for, spacious garden with tall trees, with many squirrels and birds, lovely! We were cozily received in person, later helped on the right way with TV questions over the phone.

    We went for a weekend but definitely recommended for longer, there is plenty to see and do nearby. And the house also invites you to stay there and enjoy the sauna and garden.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a lovely house! Lots of space and modern but in the middle of nature with squirrels jumping from tree to tree.

    Worth repeating.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    After arriving at the location we were warmly welcomed by the Toering family. We were given a short tour, explanation and after handing over the keys they left. Enjoying a fresh cup of (ground) coffee we were able to take in the cottage and were welcomed once again via a personal card. The pictures on the website Nature House give a clear picture of the reality. The cottage is modern, spacious and tastefully decorated. Through a path of wood chips you walk to the sauna in the large garden where we have enjoyed every evening. In the morning you are awakened by the many different birds including a woodpecker. The location exudes tranquility. We enjoyed the cottage, the surroundings and the nature that can be found in this area. And there is so much more to see. The weekend was too short. Until next time!

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.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
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).
