Stay on a farm in Drenthe

The Evesingehus is a home with timber beams, a later front house and a yard that still feels like a yard. Foundations go back to 1585. Together with the neighbouring yard of Het Drentse Landschap it forms a recognised country estate. You hear birds, not animation. In season you see storks on poles and in the meadows.

That is what a distinctive farm stay means here. Not a petting farm, but history you touch on the way to bed. The Cow Room is in the farmhouse itself. The Front House is the most spacious part of the house. The Yellow Room is a self-contained ground-floor apartment with its own entrance – still on the same yard.

The most distinctive – and most affordable – bed is the vintage camper in the orchard. You sleep compact, on the farmyard, with sanitary facilities and the countryside around you. For guests searching a camper night or a distinctive stay in Drenthe, this is often why they book.

It is not a campsite with dozens of pitches. It is one retro camper by a listed farmhouse. From €45. If you want more space, choose a farmhouse room from €85. Overview on the rooms page.

A farm stay deep on the heath can be beautiful and awkward if you still want dinner. Here you combine both: sleep in the countryside, Meppel close by, Drenthe in the postcode. Walking and cycling routes leave from the yard. Giethoorn and Havelte are day trips.

That is the difference from a city hotel and from an isolated cabin. Book via the enquiry form.
