For families seeking a relaxing weekend or week away without leaving the country, De Kleine Wildenberg Farm offers the perfect escape. As a parent, I know the mixed emotions vacations can bring—excitement tinged with stress. How to keep the kids entertained? Pack all the gear? Avoid disturbing others? And crucially, carve out time to unwind with a glass of wine once the little ones are asleep? Mom deserves a break too! Boerderij de Kleine Wildenberg solves it all.
Our family of four had an unforgettable stay. Kids loved the playground, animal cuddles, outdoor toys, and jacuzzi swims. It felt like a true holiday right here at home.

Anne and her family stayed at Boerderij de Kleine Wildenberg and shares this firsthand review:
Upon arrival, we discovered the playground featuring a massive trampoline, sandpit, climbing frames, and picnic tables. Before even meeting the host, the kids were jumping, making sand treats, and we were relaxing with drinks. The safe, open layout let us keep an eye on our adventurous toddler and speedy preschooler—a perfect start to our mini-holiday at home.
The welcoming hostess showed us to our six-person cottage, "De Buttercup," thoughtfully furnished with a full kitchen, bathroom, outdoor seating, stunning views, and a wood stove. I pictured myself reading in peace after the kids tired out. The real highlight? Upstairs in the kids' room: a massive ball pit under a starry sky ceiling!
"Wow!" echoed from the toddler and preschooler as they dove in. It delivered hours of joy. Practical touches include available high chairs and cots on request.
Animal lovers like my kids thrive here—no need to venture out. They petted bunnies, cows, and horses right on-site. Our toddler was startled by the pigs' grunts at first, but soon warmed up. Daily at 5 PM, kids join the farmer to feed animals and collect fresh eggs—an educational adventure packed with fun.
Nestled in scenic woods near Deventer, the farm begs exploration. Skip rental fees: borrow from their full shed of adult bikes, kids' bikes, balance bikes, cargo bikes, tractors, and toys. Dad got a workout with the cargo bike hauling the excited crew.
Our time at De Kleine Wildenberg was magical. Happy kids mean happy parents! Beyond kid-centric fun, the serene setting and cozy accommodations let parents recharge after busy weeks.
