Off-grid cabins from Cabiner

Put on your hiking boots, pack your backpack and bring your binoculars. These cabins can only be reached on foot (some also by bike) and are ideal for true nature lovers. After a hike, you will arrive at your own off-grid cabin in the middle of nature. Here you will experience freedom, sleep under a clear starry sky and be completely away from civilisation. In Groningen, you can stay at Reitdiep, in Basecamp het Hogeland or further north in Basecamp Lauwersmeer. National Park Lauwersmeer is one of the few places in the Netherlands where you can experience darkness and an exceptionally clear starry sky at night as an official Dark Sky Park. Waking up in these tiny houses in winter lets you experience nature in its purest, quietest form. Back to the basics.
