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.

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. At the adjacent campground, you can use the outdoor pool and other facilities for a small fee. In the wooded garden, you can spot squirrels and all kinds of birds. 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.

    The forest bungalow in Wateren is such a fantastic place! From the very first moment, you feel more than welcome here, thanks in part to Marloes, who is truly a gracious and warm hostess. The bungalow, which was recently completely renovated, is truly equipped with every convenience and maintained down to the last detail. Everything has been thought of: from high-quality kitchen appliances and wonderfully fresh towels to the cozy and inviting decor. This is the ultimate place to completely unwind. You’ll be staying here in the midst of beautiful nature with plenty of privacy. The location is a perfect base for active days; you can easily set out by bike to explore the stunning surroundings of the Drents-Friese Wold and the Dwingelderveld. In short: highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, tranquility, and nature.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.

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.
