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).

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    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.
