This spacious detached vacation home is located in a quiet place with lots of privacy, and has a large garden where sunshine can be found at any time of day. Unique is its location on the Drents-Friese wold: you walk straight from the house across the lawn into the woods. We have completely renovated and modernized the house. It has a high, bright living room with floor-to-ceiling windows giving you a beautiful view. The house has modern plumbing consisting of a bathtub, separate rain shower and in a separate room the toilet. The second bedroom upstairs also offers a workspace overlooking the meadows. The original JAnus wood stove gives warmth as well as atmosphere on cooler days. Part of the garden is enclosed by a chestnut fence so that your dog can stay there safely (this is the only pet allowed.) There is a small orchard with fruit trees and in the canopy is a luxurious hanging chair to enjoy from the many birds, squirrels and other animals.

Close and yet away from it all... when we discovered Friesland/Drenthe, a new world opened up. Refreshing impressions in terms of art, culture, sports, relaxation and miles of space and nature. The vacation home is located at the Drents-Friese Wold: the largest contiguous forest in the Netherlands with heathland, fens, moors and a large stretch of bare, shifting sand. From the park you literally walk into the forest with many hiking and cycling routes. Unique in the Netherlands are "the wet nose routes" where dogs are allowed to walk freely. There is a climbing forest within walking distance. At 6 km is the Canada Lake or Aekingermeer where you can swim. Nearby are the national parks the Drentsche AA and National Park Dwingelderveld. The village of Appelscha is located on a "three-country point": Friesland, Drenthe and Groningen. So you can make many interesting day trips in a diversity of nature. The house is free and on private land, so not on a commercial vacation park.
