Scenic Retreat by the Lake
Charming Lakeside Lodge with Comfort & Style Step into tranquility at this modern, ground-floor lodge nestled in the serene Holiday Park De Tolplas. Just a short stroll from the shimmering recreational lake, this detached holiday home blends comfort with nature. The cozy living room invites you to relax after a day outdoors, while the fully equipped open kitchen with a dishwasher and microwave makes dining in a breeze. Three thoughtfully designed bedrooms—including a fun bunk bed for kids—ensure restful nights for families or groups of up to six.
Nature, Comfort & Pet-Friendly Fun Set in picturesque Hoge Hexel, just 12 km from Almelo, the lodge offers a peaceful escape with convenient access to nearby attractions. The private, roofed terrace and garden are perfect for morning coffee or lazy evenings under the stars. Pets are warmly welcomed here, and nearby trails around De Tolplas lake offer ideal spots for scenic walks with your furry companions. A short drive takes you to the lush landscapes of Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park—perfect for dog-friendly hikes and picnics.
