This nature house is a wooden, well-insulated tiny house measuring 20 m² that sleeps 2 people. It’s tucked away in its own little forest along the quiet canal “De Wide Burd” and can’t be seen from the road. This gives you complete privacy, right in the heart of nature. At the front, the double doors open onto a large wooden deck. Here you’ll find four wooden chairs with cushions, where you can enjoy a peaceful meal outdoors, read, or take in the view of the greenery and the water. Around the cabin, you’ll also find a picnic table, a hammock, a barbecue, and a fire pit. Inside, the cottage is compact but fully equipped. There’s a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a two-burner gas stove, along with kitchen utensils; there’s also a nice shower and toilet, a two-person sofa, and a small wood stove that quickly warms the cottage to a comfortable temperature. Thanks to the many windows, you have views of the surroundings from every angle. The dining table and chairs fold out. The 1.40-meter-wide bed can also be folded away.
Nature and surroundings
The house is a charming little tiny home on the nature island of De Burd, nestled in the heart of De Alde Feanen National Park and Natura 2000 area. Here, you’ll find no stores, no streetlights, and no through traffic. There’s just one quiet little road, surrounded by water, meadows, and nature reserves teeming with birds. With a bit of luck, you might spot a kingfisher darting across the water or hear the deep call of the bittern in the distance. Every day sounds different here. As soon as you take the ferry onto the island, everything slows down. You wake up to the sound of birds, look out over the water, and see the stars again at night. You’ll often see roe deer roaming around the cottage. From the cottage, you can step right out into nature to hike, bike, go boating, or simply spend a day doing nothing. This nature house is a warm and comfortable place to unwind. Far away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough for a quick getaway. Here, you don’t have to go anywhere. You’re already there.

The cottage was small but cozy. It was clean, had a comfortable bed, and a well-equipped kitchen where we were able to prepare several meals. The owners were kind enough to leave some basic supplies for us.
Good communication and friendly!Het huisje was klein maar fijn. Schoon, lekker bed en goed uitgeruste keuken waar we meerdere maaltijden in hebben kunnen bereiden. Eigenaren van het huisje waren zo aardig wat basis spulletjes achter te laten.
Goeie communicatie en vriendelijk!The cottage, located on a small island next to the Frisian village of Grou, was absolutely beautiful! It was easy to get to and right in the middle of nature. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and privacy around the little cottage; in fact, you can’t see any neighbors at all when you’re sitting in the large garden. There’s also a really nice little lake right next to the cottage—we saw lots of dragonflies.
It was fun to explore the charm of the little ferries and nearby islands using the bikes that were parked next to the cottage. Be sure to check the ferry schedules!Het huisje dat plaatsvond op een klein eilandje naast het Friesche dorpje van Grou was een prachtig! Makkelijk bereikbaar en pal in de natuur. We hebben intens genoten van de rust en prive rondom het kleine huisje, je hebt namelijk geen enkel zicht op andere buren als je in de grote tuin zit. Ook een super leuk meertje zit aangelegen aan het huisje, veel libellen gezien.
De charme van de kleine pontjes en nabijgelegen eilanden was leuk te ontdekken met de fietsen die naast het huisje stonden. Let wel op de pont tijden!This text is automatically translated.
