Our luxurious and charming nature house is located in a former school building in the heart of the historic village of Veenhuizen. Veenhuizen is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Society of Benevolence: a unique cultural-historical village with impressive historic buildings and a remarkable socio-cultural history. The nature house is very spacious and bright, yet also warm and inviting thanks to its carefully selected furnishings with organic details. In the summer, when it’s very hot outside, the air conditioning keeps the interior pleasantly cool. The beds can be arranged as two separate beds or as one comfortable double bed, as desired. You’ll enjoy complete privacy here thanks to a private entrance and a secluded private garden with a terrace. Charging stations for electric cars are just a 250-meter walk away. You can store your bicycles dry and safely in our covered bike shed.
Nature and surroundings
Thanks to its location on a quiet cul-de-sac and its sheltered garden, you can fully enjoy the greenery and the sound of birds singing here. For an extra dose of nature, you can easily walk or bike right into the unique, ancient, and expansive raised bog landscape of the Fochteloërveen, bordered by forests and heathlands. Be sure to take a walk through the adjacent Slokkert stream valley, a beautiful and peaceful nature reserve. The Prison Museum, small shops, the Bitter en Zoet restaurant, the Maallust brewery, art studios, and fascinating history are all within walking distance. Whether you’re coming to soak up some culture, go for a walk, ride a bike, or just take a breather: at Buutvrij, you’ll find a unique place where history, nature, hospitality, and relaxation come together. We think you’ll feel right at home!

Very stylishly decorated, with beautiful, warm colors and plenty of comfort. Both air conditioning and a wood stove. Fantastic bed. Plenty of cycling opportunities, and a lovely outdoor pool nearby. You can really feel the history of the place. The apartment has only recently been made available for rent and asks to be treated with respect. We mainly went cycling and explored Veenhuizen thoroughly. A wonderful stay (midweek).
Heel stijlvol ingericht, met prachtige, warme kleuren en veel comfort. Zowel airco als houtkachel. Fantastisch bed. Veel fietsmogelijkheden, fijn openluchtzwembad vlakbij. En de historie van de plek is voelbaar aanwezig. Het appartement is pas kort in de verhuur en vraagt om respectvol gebruik. Wij hebben vooral gefietst en Veenhuizen zelf grondig bekeken. Heerlijk verblijf (midweek).
Although it’s right in the center of Veenhuizen, it’s very quiet. Birdsong all around, a nice spot to sit under a large umbrella. The outdoor area isn’t very big, but it’s more than enough. Two chickens are happily scratching around.
Hoewel midden in Veenhuizen heel rustig. Vogelgeluiden alom, fijn zitje onder grote parasol. Buitenruimte niet heel groot maar meer dan voldoende. Gezellig gescharrel van twee kippen.

Heel mooi ingericht, schoon en volledig. Alles wat je je kan bedenken is er!
A nice stay with very nice owners! We had a very pleasant weekend away here in this beautiful place with a rich history. Definitely recommended for people who want to stay in a nice, clean and unique place.
Een fijn verblijf met hele aardige eigenaren! Wij hebben zeer naar onze zin hier in dit mooie plaatsje met een rijke historie een weekend weg gehad. Zeker een aanrader voor mensen die rustig gelegen in een mooi, schoon en unieke plaats willen overnachten.

Very nice owners, nice garden, which will only look more beautiful in the coming time.
Hele aardige eigenaren, leuke tuin, die er de komende tijd alleen maar mooier uit gaan zien.
Upon entering the cottage it felt right, it looked very clean and beautiful. Everything was there, we had a wonderful week there.
Bij binnenkomst in het huisje voelde het gelijk goed, het zag er erg netjes en mooi uit. Alles was er aanwezig, we hebben er een heerlijke week gehad.
