I am Aafke, a farmer's daughter and I live with my husband and 2 children on our dairy farm. When we were able to take over a log cabin from friends, I thought it would be great to put it on our land to be able to reflect every now and then, be alone undisturbed and enjoy beautiful sunsets. When I finally finished it after having invested quite a bit of time (and money) in it, I also thought it was a very nice place to share with others. Hence the rental! I did find it very exciting to rent out back-to-basics like that... but the first 2 tenants were super enthusiastic so that gives confidence. It is a great place, just doing absolutely nothing...

Tips

  • Walking in the Drents-Friese Wold. It is beautiful here; the bare dunes, Canada Lake and also further on the Fochtelöerveen or sniffing culture in Veenhuizen and Frederiksoord.

  • Herberg het Volle Leven (vegetarian, reserve early)
