My wife and I bought a recreation home in 2011 at "Buitengoed Drentse Vennen" to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and tranquility in our spare time. We both worked in education and are now retired. We fell for the recreation home because it is wonderfully spacious and beautifully laid out. In 2019, the recreational home opposite ours was for sale. We have bought these and completely refurbished and newly furnished to give others the opportunity to enjoy the peace and the beautiful surroundings at the park.
