And in case the weather is less, you can always fall back on, for example, reading a book because in this pleasant house that is certainly not a punishment. Communication was good and pleasant and all agreements were fulfilled. And at the end you come home and there is nothing to betray that there have been guests the last days.? A home exchange as you wish!? Warmly recommended. Fred and Elise, thank you very much

Read More...Third house swap with Elise and Fred in Ruinerwold - my second home. It`s a really good feeling when you enter a home and know exactly, where the hairdryer is. It`s a really good feeling, when you wake up in the morning to the smell of freshly cut hay and cows and sheeps. It`s a really good feeling, when you are biking on the numerous cycle paths in the area, and you meet all the other pensioners saying hallo or goodemorgen. Drenthe is cycling country no. 1. I would like to come back.

I did trips on bike to the small towns in the nearby - Stabhorst, Zwartsdijk, Havelte, Uffelte o.a. I visited the islandTherschelling and had a fine day in Den Haag. Thank you Elise and Fred for our second swap. I am ready to do it again.

Meppel is een gezellige provinciestad en ook Ruinen heeft leuke terrassen. Heerlijke week gehad, ondanks de hitte. Dan is fietsen in de bossen wel zo lekker. Aanbevolen: Hans en Riekje.

Read More...A warm welcome was waiting for us when we arrived in this beautiful, clean and tidy home, decorated with love. We loved all the big windows, bringing all the light ánd sunshine in and sitting in different places in the garden. In the area there are lots of things to do and see. We enjoyed visiting old cities such as Zwolle as well as taking the bikes to explore the beautiful nature in the area. A weekend was just too short! Thank you Fred and Elise for this wonderful exchange!

Read More...We had a great holiday in Fred and Elise's modernist home. We particularly enjoyed evenings on the balcony and the open-plan kitchen/ living area worked really well for our family. Ruinerwold is a lovely village and the brilliant cycle network meant that we could visit plenty of local attractions by bike. We particularly enjoyed visits to Groningen and the UNESCO world heritage site at Schokland, whilst the nearby town of Meppel has an excellent swimming pool and was also very attractive to wander around. We would highly recommend staying here.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
We have exchanges for 2024 and Spring 2025.
Modern house with open plan kitchen and 2nd bathroom downstairs with shower and bath. Upstairs master bedroom and room with a bed to make a double of. Bathroom with shower. It is possible to make a bedroom out of the room downstairs with one bed in it. Garden around the house and roof terrace.
Ruinerwold is a nice little village in the northeast of the Netherlands, only 4 km from the city of Meppel with his theatre, shops, restaurants and a train station. (Amsterdam is only 1.5 hours by train.)
Giethoorn, called the Venice of the North, can be reached by bike and is worthwhile visiting. So is the Dwingelderveld, Europe's largest wet moorland area.
To swim one can go to one of the swimming pools in Ruinen, Havelte or Meppel but one can also go to the small lake called: 'the Bloemert'. A very nice but deep lake which is frequently used for diving as well. (only 10 min. by bike.) Take a bottle of wine and something to eat with you and you can stay all day or evening.
For children, we have a playground just in front of the house. For the little children up to the age of 10-11 we have a farm for children to play, called 'speel en ijsboerderij de Drentse Koe', 5 minutes from here. Not expensive and as the children play, the parents can read a book or so!

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Our house is a good starting point for running, cycling and walkingtours. Nearby you find attractive mountainbike possibilities (Havelte, Ruinen) And if you are in Havelte you cannot miss the Dolmens. In this area you will find a wide variety of nature in addition to grasslands, heath fields, the water-rich Giethoorn and the moor landscape of the Dwingelderveld And all within cycling distance. Ruinerwold itself is famous for the 7 km long road with his pear trees; in April-Mai the blossom is wunderful and the first Saterday of October you can buy trees and pick the pears. Nowadays, this has become an art Foodfestival. The third Saturday in August is Oldtimer Day. More than a thousand vehicles will be parked in front of our house and on the main thoroughfare. A big party, you don't know what you see.
Culture lovers can indulge themselves in Groningen, Assen or Zwolle. By the way, a visit to these old cities is perhaps just as much fun as a visit to Amsterdam. And don't tell anybody, but Utrecht, in the heart of the country, is really worthwhile visiting. But of course Amsterdam is not far from here, by car or train.
You can also go shopping and eat out in the cute town of Meppel, 4 km from here. But for daily shopping, we have plenty of options in Ruinerwold.
