This attractive holiday farm is located on the 'Het Reestdal' estate. The nostalgic atmosphere is clearly expressed by the thatched roof. A cozy pallet stove (a type of wood stove) provides cozy warmth in the farmhouse. Enjoying the peace and nature (walking, cycling) are the big pluses. Forest walls, forests, meadows and heathlands alternate. The border river 'De Reest' meanders through this protected landscape.

Layout
The farmhouse is equipped with all conveniences: a dishwasher, filter coffee maker, combi microwave oven, internet, a shed (for your bicycles), a very spacious garden, two terraces and comfortable garden chairs. On the ground floor there is a spacious living room, open-plan kitchen, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a spacious double bedroom with Auping beds. Upstairs you will find two nostalgic bedsteads: one suitable for two adults and one suitable for two children.
The farmhouse is in a leafy spot with unobstructed views of the forest. In the surrounding area you will find numerous places of interest, such as: Staphorst (with its traditional costumes), the Zwarte Dennen (swimming, hiking and cycling), Giethoorn (little Venice), the nature reserve ‘De Weerribben’(also for skating) and Oud Avereest (fantastic hiking area).

Particularities
This holiday home has recently had a new kitchen installed and the bedrooms have been fitted with new vinyl.
The beds in the downstairs bedroom were replaced with new Auping beds in 2025.

Surroundings
IJhorst is a village in the municipality of Staphorst, where the stork is a familiar sight. The Ooievaarscentrum De Lokkerij was established in 1981 on the initiative of the Nature Conservancy to bring the stork back to the Dutch landscape. With results: the number of breeding pairs is still increasing! De Lokkerij is open for visits during the summer months, definitely worth a visit. The surroundings are easy to explore by bike or on foot: you will discover the Reest valley, the Zwarte Dennen or the Staphorst forestry. Surrounding towns such as Zwolle, Meppel, Hoogeveen and Steenwijk are also recommended: here you can enjoy a terrace, a museum, the many shops or a cosy restaurant.
