On our farm BoerdeHeij we have transformed an old barn into an attractive and complete camping cottage where you keep the outdoor feeling by the open front of the living room. The cottage is in a beautiful spot, between meadow and forest, away from traffic, but close to nature and (hobby) farm life. All facilities are under one roof: a kitchen, compost toilet and hot shower. The unique interior gives the cottage character: sustainably built with pallets, old floorboards, brocant panel doors and recycled cabinet parts. In the bedroom you will find a made-up, spacious double bed (160x200cm) with, for those who wish, an electric blanket, extra wool blankets and an electric heater. Experience "back to basics": unwind, make a campfire or light the wood stove inside on colder days. Even when the weather is not so good, it is great to stay in this cozy nature house. Ideal for those who appreciate simplicity, sustainability, rural living and the outdoors.

Our place is located in Elim in southern Drenthe between Hoogeveen and Coevorden. Our lot is 300 meters from the public road and is adjacent to woods and meadows where you can have a nice walk around. We have created a paddock paradise for our 3 horses, complete with hills, nibble bushes and waterhole. There is also a large vegetable garden whose harvest we are happy to share with you. We try to house and garden our horses in such a natural way. So no tightly landscaped borders or neat stables here. Besides our 3 horses live here 2 cats and Guus our pot-bellied pig. You are also bound to meet the neighbors' chickens and the 2 peacocks that roam freely here. The immediate vicinity consists of many meadows and bushes and fifteen minutes walk from the larger forest and recreation area of Plan Schoonhoven. Here you can walk various routes and in fine weather take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling and other excursions.
