Nature house in Orvelte
Drenthe, Netherlands

This detached cottage with its own entrance is located on our property in the countryside outside Orvelte. It’s wonderfully secluded and peaceful—a place where the nights are still truly dark, it can be genuinely quiet, and nature and the forest are right across the way. It features a 40-square-meter living/sleeping area with a wood-burning stove, a comfortable sofa, a dining table, and a pleasant, peaceful, and natural atmosphere. Double French doors open onto the patio, garden, and hammock. You’ll enjoy the sun here all afternoon. You can close the linen curtains around the bed to create a cozy sleeping area. Through the connecting door, you’ll enter the kitchen, which features a dishwasher, refrigerator, induction cooktop, and combination microwave. Next to it is the bathroom with a rain shower, separate toilet, and sink. SPECIAL CHRISTMAS PACKAGE from December 24 and 26. Want to know more? Just send us a message!
Nature and surroundings
This vacation home is located right between and adjacent to two large forest districts, the Sleen and Schoonloo Forest Districts, which in turn border the Grolloo Forest District, which itself borders other forest districts. It also borders the Orvelterzand, a beautiful nature reserve featuring patches of open shifting sand dunes, heathland, and Highland cattle. The Drentse Aa Nature Park is right across the way, and the Elperstroom area—a Natura 2000 site—is just a stone’s throw away. So you’re all set for a great nature experience! In our area, you’ll also find plenty of other charming Drenthe villages. Several authentic Drenthe villages are worth a visit, such as the (museum village) Orvelte, Grolloo (home of Cuby & the Blizards), and Borger (Hunebedcentrum). And there are many other villages within a 30-minute drive that are well worth the trip. There are several beautiful swimming lakes in the woods, all within a 5-minute drive.

The couch and the bed are very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, and electric kettle, but if you want to cook elaborate meals, you’ll need to bring some extra supplies yourself. The shower and toilet are good, and the pellet stove works great for heating. We also really liked the atmosphere in the cottage, with its lots of wood and dried flowers. The view of the greenery from the couch was very soothing.
De bank en het bed zitten/liggen heerlijk. De keuken is ruim met een vaatwasser, oven, kookplaat en waterkoker, maar als je uitgebreid wilt koken moet je zelf wel wat extra spullen meenemen. Douche en toilet zijn goed en verwarming met de pelletkachel werkt prima. Verder vonden we de sfeer in het huisje met veel hout en droogbloemen erg geslaagd. Het uitzicht vanaf de bank op het groen was heel rustgevend.
Beautiful surroundings; from the cottage, you can walk right out into nature. Peace, quiet, and open space.
Prachtige omgeving, vanuit het huisje kun je zo de natuur in wandelen. Rust, stilte en ruimte.

The garden is mostly weeds (and I saw this mentioned in the guestbook there from earlier this year). Also, the selection of cookware is somewhat limited if you want to cook for yourself—there’s just 1 frying pan, 1 saucepan, and 1 large pot without a lid. But we managed just fine. Eva is very hospitable and gives you a tour of the cottage.
Unfortunately, the wood stove had been deemed unsafe (a new one is coming this week), but Eva had set up an infrared heater so we wouldn’t have to be cold.Tuin is vooral onkruid (en ik las in gastenboek ter plekke dit ook terug van eerder dit jaar). Verder is het aantal pannen wel beperkt als je zelf wat wil koken met 1 koekenpan, 1 steelpan en 1 grote pan zonder deksel. Maar we hebben het ermee gered. Eva is verder gastvrij en geeft je een rondleiding door het huisje.
Helaas was de houtkachel afgekeurd (komt deze week een nieuwe) maar Eva had een infraroodkachel neergezet zodat we geen kou hoefden te leiden.The cottage is located on a quiet country road and offers a view of the meadows. You can take a lovely walk from the cottage along the heath and through the nearby woods. We’ve seen lots of mushrooms at this time of year.
Huisje ligt aan een rustig landweggetje en je hebt uitzicht over het weiland. Je kunt een prima wandeling maken vanuit het huisje langs heide en door bossen vlakbij. In deze tijd van het jaar heel veel paddenstoelen gezien.

Wonderfully simple, yet fully equipped. There’s a nice, warm atmosphere in the cottage.
Heerlijk basic maar wel van alle gemakken voorzien. Er hangt een fijne warme sfeer in het huisje
It was a lovely little cottage with all the amenities you could want when you just want to do absolutely nothing. Beautiful surroundings where you can enjoy a nice walk with the dog—in our case, at least.
Het was een heerlijk huisje van alle gemakken voorzien als je even helemaal niks wilt. mooie omgeving waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen met de hond in ons geval
