Holiday home in Wateren (Drenthe): your dream stay in the Drents-Friese would

Are you looking for a relaxing and idyllic holiday in the middle of beautiful nature? Our comfortable holiday home in Wateren, located in the heart of Het Drents-Friese would National Park, offers the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With room for 5 people, this is the perfect base to discover the natural beauty of Drenthe.

A unique location in unspoilt nature

Our holiday home is located on a quiet sandy path in Wateren, a charming hamlet in the municipality of Westerveld, close to the border with Friesland. This special location offers a rare combination of peace, privacy and natural beauty. The house stands on a generous plot of approximately 3,100m², completely surrounded by greenery, ensuring absolute privacy and space to relax1

From the living room you look directly out over meadows where cows and horses regularly graze. Just a 5-minute walk away is the beautiful Doldersumse Heide, a vast moist heath reserve on the flank of the stream valley of the Vledder- and Wapserveensche Aa. You are here in the heart of the Drents-Friese would, with its 7500 hectares one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in the Netherlands.

Waking up to nature

Imagine: you are woken up by birdsong, open the curtains and see the morning mist hanging over the fields. Here you will experience nature in its purest form, with the chance to spot storks, woodpeckers and even deer from your own garden. The complete absence of city noise makes this one of the quietest places in the Netherlands.

Our holiday home is a spacious, bright accommodation that can accommodate 5 people. The interior has been carefully curated to provide comfort and coziness. With attractive rooms and modern amenities, you will feel right at home.
