Boerderij het Reestdal

Boerderij het Reestdal is a farmhouse in Drenthe, sitting on a private plot at the edge of the Reestdal nature reserve in the south of the province, close to the villages of Zuidwolde, Balkbrug and Dedemsvaart. The surroundings are quiet and open, with walking and cycling paths starting right at the door. For days when you want to slow down, there is a partly covered terrace and a wood-burning stove inside to gather around.

After a day outside, you can use the sauna or head to a beauty centre about two kilometres away. A pancake house is nearby for a classic Dutch treat, and within five kilometres you will find supermarkets, public swimming pools, restaurants and shopping streets, so you are not far from everyday conveniences even though the setting feels rural.

The Reestdal reserve itself is a broad landscape of meadows, streams and woodland, and the farmhouse sits right on its edge, giving you easy access without needing a car for the main trails. The villages nearby are small but have enough going on to fill an afternoon if you want a change of scene.

This suits couples or families who want a calm base in nature with enough nearby to keep things varied. It works well if you like spending time outdoors during the day and want somewhere quiet and comfortable to return to in the evenings. Those travelling with children will appreciate the pancake house and the swimming pool within easy reach.
