Forest House in Appelscha near National Parks

Tucked away at the edge of a quiet forest near the charming village of Appelscha, this cozy 3-bedroom forest house is a peaceful retreat for nature lovers, families, and pet owners. With a wood-burning stove, warm rustic touches, and a large sun-soaked garden, it’s perfect for unplugging and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. The home features a ground-floor double bedroom and two bright single bedrooms upstairs, plus a well-equipped open kitchen, bathroom, and pantry with oven and washing machine. Bring your furry friend—this property welcomes pets! The surrounding forests offer endless trails for long walks, and the nearby Drents-Friese Wold National Park is perfect for off-leash adventures through serene woods and heather fields. For a splash of summer fun, head to Lake Canada (4 km away), where dogs can wade in the water too. Nearby Fochteloërveen is another scenic destination for peaceful hikes with your pup, while the dog-friendly Bosbad outdoor swimming pool and tree-top Klimbos park make fun, family-friendly stops. Appelscha offers a laid-back village vibe with great dining options just 2 km away. Enjoy a casual meal at local restaurants or stop at bakeries and shops for fresh regional treats. Explore the surrounding area by bike or visit nearby villages like Diever and Dwingeloo. Whether you’re relaxing on the terrace with your pet at your feet or exploring nature’s beauty by trail, this forest hideaway invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor the moment.

Detta semesterhus var ett praktiskt val för vår familjesemester, Vi fann det rent och väl underhållet, med tillräckligt med utrymme för alla, De två rummen ovanför var idealiska för barnen, Närheten till nationalparken var ett stort plus, och vi tillbringade dagarna med att utforska lederna och njuta av naturens skönhet i området

Vi hadde et herlig opphold i det frittstående feriehjemmet i Appelscha! Den koselige vedovnen skapte en varm atmosfære, perfekt for de kjølige kveldene, Hagen var et høydepunkt, og vi nøt morgenkaffen mens vi lyttet til fuglene, Vi tok med oss hunden vår, og han elsket å utforske de nærliggende skogsstiene, Beliggenheten er fantastisk, med enkel tilgang til National Park Drents-Friese Wold for fotturer og sykling, Anbefaler virkelig dette stedet for alle som ønsker å slappe av i naturen!

Die Lage war wunderschön. Das Haus war vom Komfort und der Sauberkeit her in Ordnung. Allerdings fehlte in der Küche ein brauchbarer Feueranzünder zum Anzünden eines Gasfeuers, ein brauchbares Schälmesser usw. Außerdem gab es in der Küche fast keinen freien Platz, um die eigenen Lebensmittel aufzubewahren. Ich habe mich nicht getraut, den im Lagerraum bereitgestellten Ofen zu benutzen, er war schon lange nicht mehr gereinigt worden. Der Rauchgeruch aus dem Kamin ist sehr stechend und erst nach dem dritten Tag verschwunden.

Das Holz im Holzofen war nicht weggeräumt, es roch nach starkem Rauch. Die Reinigungsrunde schien abgeschlossen zu sein. Das Badezimmer war nicht ganz frisch und die Gartenmöbel waren schmutzig. Nach einer Putzrunde ist es ein schöner Aufenthalt.

De plek was ruim genoeg voor 5 van ons, en we hielden van de rustige omgeving, Genoten van het ontbijt buiten in de tuin elke ochtend, Even ter info, WiFi was af en toe een beetje traag, maar eerlijk gezegd was het fijn om even te ontkoppelen, Zou zeker terugkomen!

Et dejligt tilflugtssted i Appelscha! Værterne var utrolig imødekommende, og huset havde en charmerende atmosfære, Vi nød især værelserne ovenpå, som gav en hyggelig stemning, Vores tid ved den nærliggende sø var forfriskende, og den lokale golfbane var et hit hos min mand, Vi vil helt sikkert overveje at komme tilbage!

Läget för detta semesterhus var fantastiskt, beläget precis vid kanten av skogen, Det var fridfullt och avskilt, men ändå tillräckligt nära byn för enkel tillgång till affärer och restauranger, Huset var välutrustat, om än lite rustikt, vilket bidrog till dess charm, Perfekt för naturälskare som vill koppla av!

La nostra esperienza nella casa vacanza è stata piuttosto soddisfacente, La casa stessa era pulita e spaziosa, accogliendo comodamente la nostra famiglia di cinque persone, La cucina era ben attrezzata, il che ha reso facile la preparazione dei pasti, Abbiamo apprezzato le visite alle attrazioni vicine, soprattutto il Bezoekerscentrum Staatsbosbeheer Appelscha, Anche se l'arredamento era un po' datato, non ha diminuito il nostro godimento complessivo, Una buona scelta per chi cerca una fuga tranquilla

So ein niedlicher Ort! Wir fühlten uns super willkommen und die Gastgeber waren wirklich nett, Das Haus war gut ausgestattet mit einer gemütlichen Küche und die Speisekammer hatte alle wichtigen Dinge, Perfekt, um die friesischen Wälder zu erkunden oder einfach nur zu entspannen, Kann es nicht genug empfehlen!

Mieliśmy wspaniały pobyt w tym przytulnym domku wakacyjnym! Piec na drewno sprawił, że miejsce było jeszcze bardziej zapraszające, szczególnie podczas chłodnych wieczorów, Ogród był świetnym miejscem do relaksu, a my cieszyliśmy się słuchając ptaków przy porannej kawie, Jest idealnie zlokalizowany blisko Drents-Friese Wold, co zapewniło wspaniałe wędrówki i przejażdżki rowerowe
