Drenthe is a serene province located in the northeastern region of the Netherlands. Free of a major city and with no sea access, this destination is ideal for escaping the city’s stress and bustle. The famous post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh even described it as “here is peace.“ The place is characterized by thick countryside, untouched national parks, and some strange dolmens. Hiking or cycling through the forest is one of the popular activities here. Zoos, historical sites, and museums also dot this place. For a place to reside, there are many options to consider, most of which are located within wooded areas. Check out our list of the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Drenthe, the Netherlands.
