Nature cottages in Friesland
Wake up to the soft light over the meadows, open the door and hear only the birds and the rustling of the grass.
In the nature cottages at Smûk, you stay on a small-scale farm in Friesland, right by the water. Here you live outdoors, but with the comfort of a warm and atmospheric cottage. You light the wood stove, look out over the land, and end the day in the hot tub under the stars.
No crowds. No rush.
Just you, nature, and the rhythm of the farmyard.

A nature cottage in Friesland as it was meant to be
The cottages are located on the grounds of our Frisian farm, overlooking meadows, animals, and sometimes the water in the distance. Here you see cows with calves, hear birds, and can walk straight to the jetty.
We work with attention to nature and the landscape. Flower borders attract butterflies, meadow birds find their place here, and the land is given time to live.
You can feel it. In the peace. In the space. In everything around you.
Smûk moments
A stay in a small nature cottage in Friesland is all about simplicity.
Your day could look like this:
waking up with a view over the fields
gathering fresh eggs on the farmyard
drinking coffee in the morning sun
a walk to the water
paddleboarding or boating towards the Tjeukemeer
outdoor cooking or eating together by the fire pit
ending the day in the hot tub under the starry sky
Sometimes you don’t need anything more…
Nature cottage in Friesland by the water
The nature cottages are located near the water. From the farmyard, you can walk straight to the jetty and sail into the Frisian lake district.
Grab a canoe (free) or rent a paddleboard or sloop and discover the area from the water. From the farm, you can sail straight into the beautiful Frisian lake district, towards Sloten, Lemmer, Langweer, or over the Tjonger.
You can simply swim here in nature.
Sit down, look out over the water, and watch how the light and clouds constantly change.
More than a nature cottage
At Smûk, it’s not just about where you sleep, but how you live. The outdoor life happens naturally here. In small moments.
Spread across the farmyard. Without having to plan a thing.
Outdoor cooking & fire
Cook outside on the fire or at the outdoor kitchen. Simple, together, and without haste. You eat at the table or with your plate on your lap by the fire. And when it cools down, you naturally slide a little closer.
Hot tub under the stars
A wood-fired hot tub is included or can be booked with the nature cottages. Warm water, fresh air, and a view over the land. That’s all you need.
Life on the farmyard
During the day, there is always something to see. Children playing, animals scurrying around, a chicken walking by. Goats, bunnies, horses, and cows are just part of the experience here.
The living room
The living room is a place where you can step inside for a moment. For a good cup of coffee. For a game with the children. Or simply to retreat into a vintage chair.
Discover Friesland from your nature cottage
Around Smûk, you’ll find the Frisian landscape just as you hope to find it.
Expansive meadows, small roads, water popping up everywhere, and skies that are constantly changing. You walk straight off the farmyard, past flower borders and cows, into the silence.
Take a bike ride through the polders, discover nature reserves like the Rottige Meente and the Weerribben, or stroll along the Tjeukemeer. Along the way, you’ll encounter villages where time still moves slowly.
You don’t have to go anywhere.
But if you do, there is plenty to discover.
