This nature house is located on a small recreation park with 5 detached vacation homes right on the Drentsche Aa. The house has 2 bedrooms, underfloor heating and a dishwasher and oven. The houses are lined up along the stream so that each house has an unobstructed view of the Aa. The company has existed since 1927 and has passed from father to son. Ernst is now in charge and Pa Jur does some manual labor. The houses are in the middle of the Stroomdal Drentsche Aa nature park. With a very long fishing rod you can fish almost from your house. The cottage is not accessible by car. You can also bring your own horse.Near the cottage is a meadow available. In late summer and autumn they have mushroom days for learning to recognize and prepare edible mushrooms.On request they can also organize game picking tours and bird watching. Pets are allowed and free, provided they behave nicely and do not cause a nuisance.

The poems of Rutger Kopland (1934-2012) about the Drentsche Aa are largely on this spot originated.
