The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, coffee maker, kettle, oven and toaster. The dining area is for four people and there are two armchairs in the seating area. You have access to internet, interactive TV, a DVD player and a good sound system. The bathroom has a toilet, a large sink and a shower. There is a hair dryer and soap and bath linen is standard. Upstairs is the bedroom with three beds and a wardrobe.

Nature and environment

Nature and environment
Our Wâldhûske is quietly and freely situated in a protected landscape - the heart of the Northern Friesian Forests. The area is characterized by ancient tree walls that radiate the cozy atmosphere of a forest area. The flora and fauna is diverse and exuberant. You are awakened in the morning by a magnificent concert of the many species of songbirds that occur here. On the north side of the village Jistrum, on a 300 year old sandy path you will find this cottage. The sand path lies in an area with - especially around Jistrum - many more sandy roads suitable for walking, cycling and horse riding in Friesland. At a distance of five kilometers you will find the marina with boathouse on the Bergumermeer. Nearby, on the lake, there is a public swimming area with sunbathing area, beach and jetty. In the area, the water sports and nature village Earnewâld is very worthwhile. You can take a cruise through a swamp area, the national park "De Alde Feanen". You will find, among other things, cormorants, storks, spoonbills and if you are lucky otters. Beautiful historic cities are Dokkum and Leeuwarden. A day trip to one of the Wadden Islands is also recommended.

History
Already on a grietenijkaart from 1694 we find a "Vogelkooy" with our cottage at the address of the Heideweg in Eestrum. There is still a duck pond on our site. a remnant of the original duck cage.
In 1996, the former owner behind the old wâldhûske built a modern house under architecture in the style of a wooden haycake. In 2007 we bought it and after that the old house was completely renovated in rustic style.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
