Well that was fun! It was really nice to get to know your back story for I too assumed you lived your whole life on this land. It is clear that you love animals and what a blessing that you can keep them close. Your views from the tiny house are wonderful and I'm sure help you stay connected to nature . Thank you for the tour, I loved it and you looked nice in your dress. See you next week 🐶 🐈🐎 🐖 🐓
Thank you so much! I want to be as transparant about everything as I can, so I love to explain a little bit more sometimes. If you have any questions when watching a video, feel free to ask! I can always give more answers. And thank you so much, when working outside a dress is not very convenient, but I love to wear something nice sometimes ❤️
Ok well I wonder if you ride your horse Bounty? Also do you harvest the pork or pet only. I'm glad your family is close by for socializing. I too live in a rural (forest) setting and I miss my family. One more thing Nikky, what did you study at university? I like talking with you because it's the mom in me 😃
I'm actually in the process of training Bounty, it will still take some time to really ride her, I think. But maybe you will see something of this in the summer. The pigs we have now, are just pets. They are also pretty small and not great for meat. And we like them a little bit to much ;) I love that my family is so close, I understand it's very hard for you. And of course, you can ask me anything. I studied Photography & Communications at university in Amsterdam. I got my degree about 4 years ago. ❤️☺️
Hello from USA! My first time here. I think you are a beautiful, kind soul and i love your property, animals and lifestyle. You are blessed. So glad i found your channel.😊
You ARE BEAUTIFUL and have a beautiful soul loving all God’s animals. Your home is PERFECT for you. Bless you and your dear friends, the animals. What a beautiful place they get to spend their life in. Thank you. ❤️😊
I love how much YOU love and appreciate your property. It's so evident when you show it to us and how happy you are with it. Your tiny house is cute and comfy and just what a person needs to live when by yourself...your views are great, you have comfort and you are doing what makes you happy! Not all of us can say that! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you! I feel blessed every day and I try to enjoy every moment. I’m also happy to share it with you, thank you for watching and leaving a comment ♥️
Thank you, I try my best to keep it realistic! I don't want to make it any better to show on TH-cam or social media, I just want it to be as it is. I really appreciate your support. ❤️
You are so easy to be with,wonderful calming energy from you.Thank you for sharing.I too live alone but not lonely.Living in the forest is so nurturing and nature abounds. I will have running water within a month or so. Yahoo but truly have no complaints at al it soothes my soul to be here in the cabin I’ve had for 18years. It’s given me so much to appreciate to ponder and to stay curious.🙏😊
I love seeing the horses out the window too! My horses both passed away recently, within about 6 months of each other, and I still look for them in the morning when I look out the window. Animals bring so much joy
Hello from Canada! Thank you for sharing your life here on TH-cam! You are truly blessed to live where you are, with your gorgeous animals and in the quiet countryside.

What a beautiful place to live! So peaceful and so nice you have your family so close! Love seeing all your animals! They are all so cute! You are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
Thank you Nikky really enjoy all your videos. Make sure your doggie is always safe, especially at his age. He looks amazing. I love your views and all the nature around.
Thank you, I’m really happy you enjoy my videos. I do everything to keep him safe, I’m very lucky he is strong and doing great. Thank you so much for leaving a comment ♥️
I admire you for all the hard work you do and for your gentle care and love for your animals. You are a very strong and sweet person and I think it's awesome the way you live and care for everything. You are amazing and thank you for sharing your life. Bless you!!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Your kind words mean a lot to me. It makes me so happy to read a comment like yours, you made my day. Thank you ♥️
Thank you for sharing your property and tiny house, just wonderful! I love seeing all of your pets, a beautiful menagerie of unconditional love. Just makes me smile.😊 You have the most beautiful complexion and red hair I’ve ever seen! I always wanted red hair and did for a little while. 😊 I enjoy creating, drawing and painting. I’m 73 yrs old and found being retired is a great. I wish I had done it earlier 😂. I hope you are living life on your own terms and enjoying every minute of it. Love Fran, in Tennessee
Hey Fran, thank you for writing a comment, it means a lot to mee. I'm very happy you enjoy my videos, I try to make them better every week. Your compliments are really appreciated, it makes my day to read this. I try to enjoy every moment of my life and I'm happy I'm able to share it with you. ❤️
Beautiful and inspiring video. I can really get a feel for what you and your cute animals are like. You look quite stunning in that dress and I especially like that you are not a super slim woman but show pride in the way you function. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I love your tiny house and how real you keep everything. The view from the windows are lovely. I also love your red hair, you are a very beautiful person inside and out....just lovely. So glad that I found your videos. How lucky you are to have the gypsy vanner...my favorite horse.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I really appreciate you took the time to write this, it makes my day! I'm very lucky with Bounty, she is an amazing horse. ❤️
Well done; Nikky. You’ve built yourself a wonderful tiny home with family as neighbors. A great accomplishment for someone so young! Thanks for the tour.
This was great and I am sure it cured a lot of curiosity. I especially enjoyed seeing your little old doggie. So sweet, also your horse rolling around in the dirt. Animals are so cute, whether they are the size of a mouse or an elephant. Blessings! from Canada 🇨🇦
I hope it did, I know a lot of people must have questions and I understand that completely. I want to be as honest as I can possibly be about everything, and I love to share it with you guys. Thank you for writing a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
Hi Nikky. I just started watching your channel earlier so this is the 2nd video ive seen. You are lucky you can stay on your parents property with other members of our family. You are in-between my eldest son & my daughter in age so I dont consider you as old, lol. My daughter is 29 in December. I also have a 22 yr old son & a 30 yr old son. :) thanks for showing us around your place. I enjoyed the tour. 🤩🦋🍄🇦🇺
Hi from Spain, beautiful tiny house in a beautiful setting. You have everything you need, and it looks delighful. Your hair is stunning, and like someone said.a pretty dress. Thanks for sharing your life. Enjoy your animals. ❤️
i love cozy cottages, the older the better, they're more work but they do look so grand you should consider putting a roof over your deck/veranda, it would make it even more cozy thanx for letting us look at your tiny, cozy cottage, it is adorable & looks very comfy
Your home is lovely...like a rustic cabin. I live in a small (English style) cottage, and have two old dogs. In town, so we walk to a beautiful park that has a creek running through it, woods, and marshland. Best wishes taking care of your home and animals.
So glad to see how nicely you manage all the work of your property and tiny home! You are such a pretty woman! I think your house looks great, you live so close to nature and you do a wonderful job! Love the animals, your cute clay art, and all your amazing work! 🥰
Wow, thank you so much for this comment, it means a lot! I try to do my best to show you guys as much as I can and I'm happy you enjoy my videos. Thank you for leaving a comment and watching. ❤️
❤ hi Nikki love your channel I love that you live on a family property. I think that is so cool I wish more people could live like that if they can get along and things are good.
Oh Nikky, I LOVED this whole video. Showing us the entire property and the drone footage puts it into perspective of how huge your land is! You radiate such positivity and happiness, it shows! I love how you gave us some background of how you arrived at living here! I live in city, and it is my dream when I retire in september to move south in the US where I spent time with my grandmother. The Netherlands is gorgeous, and its sad you said there is not as much land as before. I was thinking maybe you need a little golf cart to ride around the property to to visit your mom. 🙂 you are truly living the dream. I love all of the animals and you even made a bedroom for your baby! I saw a picture of Africa, have you been there? you said you traveled. Don't worry about any messes, it looks quite tidy to me. It is alot of work keeping up with all of the animals, the property, I'm sure you're tired at night! I truly hope one day my daughter ( she is 18 almost 19) finds her true happiness. She is in college but not sure what she wants to do with her studies. She is a literary genius, and it will be something along English degree, or translator. Your parents did a great job raising you, appreciating all of God's miracles and the beauty of our earth. I am so envious, I could live in a tiny house, and be HAPPY HAPPY. You're a ray of sunshine to watch and your just adorable! I can't wait to see the place in summertime. Do you have a vegetable garden? also, can I ask what you studied at university, because you are jack of all trades! see you next week, take care!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. ♥️ I try to be just a positive person, if I can. And I just really love my life and I love to share it with you all! And I’m sure your daughter will find her way. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time. Your compliments made my day again, thank you so much! It really motivates me every week. See you next week ♥️
What a lovely home and farm. I am so happy for you and thank you so much for sharing with us. I also love to be outside and I could not imagine life without animals. We can learn alot from them. Hugs for a very nice video! ☺
You are very welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. And you are so right about the animals. Thank you for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
Just came across your channel & im enjoying learning about you & your beautiful home 🥰 Hi from this Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 girl living in the Philadelphia Area 🇺🇸 30 + years…I will subscribe
Thank you so much for your comment, it made me happy to read you think my home is beautiful 😊 how do you like living in the Philadelphia area? It’s so different from Dublin. Thank you for subscribing and following my journey! I post a new video every Sunday ♥️
It is indeed very different 🥰 I came here when I was 21 to be an Au-Pair, within 5 months I married my husband 🤦🏼♀️🥰 who is American & now we have 5 grown sons & 7 grandchildren 🥰 life is good
Just passing through and had to give you a couple minutes of my time. I fell in love immediately and think you are just beautiful and seem to be full of life. I am an older woman living with my husband and two spoiled cats in North Carolina, USA.. Your property is just beautiful and certainly a place most anyone would appreciate. Keep up your good work on here and blessings to you and those you love. I will be checking back before too long Nancy H.
Hey Nancy, thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment, it means a lot to me! I’m very happy you enjoyed my video and thank you for your kind words ♥️
Just found your channel and absolutely LOVE your tiny cottage and property!!! I also live in a small cottage, but in Canada , both my parents are from The Netherlands. The views from your windows are idyllic, such a paradise. I really appreciate how you keep things real and honest, it's very refreshing and inspiring, thank you!
Wow, thank you so much, it means a lot! I love the views from my windows, but I'm sure you have those beautiful views as well! Thank you, I do my best to keep everything as honest as possible, but still enjoyable to watch. Thank you for taking the time to write a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
Hi. Awww I absolutely loved this. Your tiny home is lovely and I really like your overall set up of situation of home and outdoors. Your best friend is gorgeous. He has such a lovely vibe. I look forward to your next video. Best wishes from South Wales Uk. 🐎🦮🐈⬛🐔🐖💚
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you loved the video. And thank you for your kind words about Zenno, he truly is my best friend and I love him so much. How is the weather in South Wales now? Here we have a bit colder weather again, unfortunately. I'm so ready for spring ☀️
Hi. You're so welcome. I really enjoy your videos. Zenno looks so content with life. It's lovely to see. Oh my the weather yesterday was crazy. Sun, Rain, Hail stones , Snow/Sleet, Thunder and lightening. Over one day. And back to a normal spring (ish) day today. So today it is the start of the outside clean up .And checking on the wildlife. Fun times ;) I wish for you and yours a wonderful day. @@nikkydegraaf
Hi Nikki! I just found your channel and am watching you from New England in the U.S. I am also an animal and nature lover as well. Right now I have 3 dogs and an older very well loved kitty but I have had chickens,sheep,goats,pigs and a pony when I lived in Vermont and my children were young. I also heated with a wood stove back then and used 2 wood stoves this winter to stay warm. I very much enjoyed your tour of your property and your tiny home…. I have been think about going tiny for a while now… in Massachusetts where I live now only a few towns allow them. So I am going to start looking for land to buy so I can get back to gardening and raising chickens for eggs and living tiny!
Hey, welcome! That sounds like a lot of animals, thats so cool. I'm very happy you enjoyed my video. I love sharing everything with you guys. I really hope you find a nice place to buy. Thank you for your comment ❤️
i just found your channel! You are a complete delight! Thank you for the honest tour, your home and lifestyle are inspiring and lovely. You seem a truly beautiful soul, inside and out. Glad to "meet" you, Nikky!
Thank you so much, those kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to write this comment and thank you for the compliments. I try my best, it makes my day to read this. Glad to meet you too! ❤️
Nikki I used to live in the countryside of Ireland now I live in the countryside of Australia a whole different ball game. I love seeing the Netherlands countryside reminds me of home and I too love animals ❤
Thank you! I'm sure Australia is so different, but it must be very beautiful in it's own way. I would love to go there one day. Thank you for watching ❤️
I really love your videos. They are exactly what I want to watch - not beautified cottagecore and preferably Europe, because it is so relatable! I don't have a lot to say now but I want to comment so TH-cam recommends your videos to more people. Just this morning your video was recommended to me, and you had 3.14 K subscribers (pi number!), and after that one video I have watched two more, so it's a couple hours later, and you have 3.17K subscribers! Perhaps by this evening the number will be even higher! I really hope you get something out of your work on this channel, because it brings me so much pleasure.
I love to hear it, it really motivates me to read people enjoy my videos so much. Thats so sweet of you, I hope it works out and my channel will keep growing. I would love to be able to spend more time making TH-cam videos, so it would definitely help if the channel grows. I hope you are right and the number will be higher this evening, but the kind comments make it worth every second of my time. Thank you for leaving a comment, it means so much! ❤️
Hey Nikki! This is the first time seeing your video pop up and I subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and the property you live on. It is gorgeous there. I love all of the animals. They are all adorable. You are truly blessed to be in that beautiful place. It seems so peaceful too. I love your tiny home so much. I think it is perfect. The stone walls, the wood walls, the flooring, the paint colors, the layout, the ceiling, the furniture, the decor, and especially those views from your windows are really picture perfect. I loved your dress by the way. It is very pretty. I also really like your clay pieces. The candle holders are so cool. You are very artistic and quite lovely too. Your voice and accent are calming to listen to as well. I am looking forward to catching up on your videos and watching your next video. Thanks again for sharing. Have a beautiful blessed day! 🙏 From Melissa in the mountains of Virginia, USA. 🇺🇸
Hey Melissa, thank you so much! I really appreciate the support. I love to share it with you, and a comment like this makes my day. I try my best to show everything in a realistic way and not make it any better or more beautiful or anything like that, so I really appreciate your compliments about my cottage and me. It means so much that you enjoy watching my videos and listening to the things I share. Thank you again for taking the time to write this, and I hope you have a beautiful day as well! ❤️
Oh my goodness your sweet horse!🤣So adorable. For me your house is the perfect size, maybe even a bit too big. I would probably move my bed into the main area and use the bedroom as a walk-in closet because I don't plan to have a lot of visitors when I have my own. That large window is perfect for the table. A beautiful view. I'm so glad you found your happiness. Since you make your own soap, I was wondering if you make other beauty supplies? Because your skin is amazing and I want to look like that. Please don't tell me it's genetics.😅 Again, i love your dress.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I actually only make my own soap and I don't really use any other beauty supplies, so I guess I'm just very lucky with my skin. 😂
God bless you as you enjoy your surrounding, animals and work hard to provide for all your needs. Your house is perfect. Hope you get to interact with real people as well. So great you are close to your family I have seen 2 of your videos I liked them. Be encouraged in Jesus who never leaves you or forsakes you. Knowing him can make any time of loneliness change into glorious hope. ❤from Canada
Hoi Nikky, wat een mooie plek en dat nog wel in provincie Utrecht, ben zelf ook in die provincie geboren 16 km ten zuiden van stad Utrecht in het groene hart van Nederland. Je woont daar heel erg mooi en net wat je zegt als je toch veel buiten bezig bent, mag je ook tevreden zijn met een kleine plek om te wonen. Ik heb ook ongeveer zo gewoond en het beviel mij best, als ik maar ruimte en natuur om me heen heb, zou ik het zo weer doen. Leuk die Tinker die op haar kont blijft zitten, ha, ha, lieve hond ook, fijn plekje onder je bed. Leuk om alles te zien zo, geniet er maar van.
Hey, wat leuk om te horen! Het bevalt mij inderdaad heel goed zo, maar het is dan ook heerlijk om al die buiten ruimte te hebben en ik ben mij goed bewust van het feit dat ik veel geluk heb dat het zo kan. Het is ook heerlijk om de diertjes om mij heen te hebben. Super bedankt voor je leuke reactie, ik waardeer het heel erg!
Hi Nikky, nooit gedacht dat er een tweede van mij rondloopt op deze aardbol hihihi. Hoewel ik 31 jaar ouder ben herken ik zo ontzettend veel van jou met 1 groot verschil JIJ KUNT GELUKKIG JE DROOM LEVEN ZOALS JE WILT , HEERLIJK IN DE NATUUR❣ Ik kan alleen maar blijven dromen van een huisje achteraf met wat grond en dieren, des te meer geniet ik met volle teugen van jou video's. Ook ik ben realistisch 🤠 en LEEF in mijn appartementje. Ook bij mij is het geen meubeltoonzaal hoor. Net zoals jij leg / gooi ik de spullen die ik snel even kwijt moet op een hoop. Eens in de zoveel tijd ga ik dan die stapel eens te lijf om weer wat orde op zaken te stellen. Helaas duurt dat opgeruimde nooit langer dan een dag of 3 🤭 . Meiske geniet zolang je kunt van je geweldige leven in de natuur en dank je wel dat we deelgenoot mogen zijn van al dat moois ❣❤❣
Hello from Canada! I just found your channel, and I think you have excellent english! Your tiny house is gezellig, Nikky! Ya, I understand Dutch, since my parents are from Holland and emigrated here quite some time ago. Nice to hear about Holland, and see a tiny glimpse of your part of the world. My dad is from Zeist, and Mom was from Terneuzen. My husbands parents are from Holland as well🙂Dag!
Hey, welcome! Thank you, that means a lot. I try my best to improve my English every day. I’m so glad you like my channel and I’m able to share some things from Holland with you. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it! Dag! ♥️
Nikky, actually you need a room for your work and extra staff when you are not using daily! For a single person your place is enough to live...we dont need more place to moving on.....but some people like big houses, many rooms, more spaces for their unlimited staff!!💖💖💖💖
Hello Nikki. I know this is an older film, but I just found you. I can see how much you love your animals and tiny living. You mentioned you went to university in Amsterdam. I am interested in knowing what you studied and how do you earn your income from your tiny place. I plan on watching more films on you tube. Unfortunately I do not subscribe to Instagram or other social networks. Looking forward to hearing from you..and seeing the rest of your films. ❤️
Your tiny house is lovely and what a blessing to be in such beautiful surroundings and to have the animals there. It is an idyllic lifestyle to me, yet I do know it must be hard work looking after the animals and the land. One thing I am worried about is the wolf that you mentioned in a previous video where you said because of the wolf the neighbours sheep/lambs had to be kept in the shed for safety. You mean you have wolves roaming around and howling at night ?!! Is that scary 😲. Sorry if you have answered this before but I am a new subscriber.
Thank you so much! I really love it, even the hard work. It's just part of it and I try to enjoy every moment. Well, we have a few wolves in the area, but I have not seen them on the property. Hopefully it stays this way. We also not really hear them, we mostly hear the foxes at night, there are a lot around here. Thank you for writing a comment and asking a question, I always try to answer everything, so if you want to know anything, just ask! ❤️
@@nikkydegraaf Thank you for your reply which is most interesting to me. I have lived in a country with foxes so I know what an ear splitting noise they can make at night 😀 but never lived in a country with wolves. Here we also have plenty of wildlife - kangaroos and wallabies of course; but also at night the possums can make a big noise on the roof.
I don't know why I missed this video! I am subscribed for some time now with 'notifications' ON! you live a rich life Nikky and it shows in your smile! Free rent on a family owned property in the fresh air countryside with animals, privacy & silence. Enjoy ALL your videos. How do you pay for your food & supplies, a side job for income? see you soon
Hello, I would say you do a nice job with your Tiny House. It looks very nice and you look so healthy. You have beautiful skin! I used to make soap and I enjoyed doing that. I should get back to it. I am 71, but I keep very busy selling on Ebay and I do a TH-cam channel as well. I love the outdoors and nature as well.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I think I'm just very blessed with good skin, because I think I don't really take good care of it. Just a lot of rain, fresh air and sunshine, but it works. Sounds like you keep very busy indeed, good job, it sounds amazing. ❤️
Well that was fun! It was really nice to get to know your back story for I too assumed you lived your whole life on this land. It is clear that you love animals and what a blessing that you can keep them close. Your views from the tiny house are wonderful and I'm sure help you stay connected to nature . Thank you for the tour, I loved it and you looked nice in your dress. See you next week 🐶 🐈🐎 🐖 🐓
Thank you so much! I want to be as transparant about everything as I can, so I love to explain a little bit more sometimes. If you have any questions when watching a video, feel free to ask! I can always give more answers. And thank you so much, when working outside a dress is not very convenient, but I love to wear something nice sometimes ❤️
Ok well I wonder if you ride your horse Bounty? Also do you harvest the pork or pet only. I'm glad your family is close by for socializing. I too live in a rural (forest) setting and I miss my family.
One more thing Nikky, what did you study at university? I like talking with you because it's the mom in me 😃
I'm actually in the process of training Bounty, it will still take some time to really ride her, I think. But maybe you will see something of this in the summer. The pigs we have now, are just pets.

And of course, you can ask me anything. I studied Photography & Communications at university in Amsterdam. I got my degree about 4 years ago. ❤️☺️
I see you as a very sincere person that loves animals, nature and solitude. It is the kind of life many people strive to experience.
Thank you ♥️

You are so easy to be with,wonderful calming energy from you.Thank you for sharing.I too live alone but not lonely.Living in the forest is so nurturing and nature abounds.

Well done; Nikky. You’ve built yourself a wonderful tiny home with family as neighbors. A great accomplishment for someone so young! Thanks for the tour.
Thank you, I enjoy every moment and I’m happy I get to share it with you ♥️
What a Lovely place you have!
Thank you!
This was great and I am sure it cured a lot of curiosity. I especially enjoyed seeing your little old doggie. So sweet, also your horse rolling around in the dirt. Animals are so cute, whether they are the size of a mouse or an elephant. Blessings! from Canada 🇨🇦
I hope it did, I know a lot of people must have questions and I understand that completely. I want to be as honest as I can possibly be about everything, and I love to share it with you guys. Thank you for writing a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
Hi Nikky. I just started watching your channel earlier so this is the 2nd video ive seen. You are lucky you can stay on your parents property with other members of our family. You are in-between my eldest son & my daughter in age so I dont consider you as old, lol. My daughter is 29 in December. I also have a 22 yr old son & a 30 yr old son. :) thanks for showing us around your place. I enjoyed the tour. 🤩🦋🍄🇦🇺
Hi from Spain, beautiful tiny house in a beautiful setting. You have everything you need, and it looks delighful. Your hair is stunning, and like someone said.a pretty dress. Thanks for sharing your life. Enjoy your animals. ❤️
Thank you so much, it means a lot. I'm happy you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to write a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
i love cozy cottages, the older the better, they're more work but they do look so grand
you should consider putting a roof over your deck/veranda, it would make it even more cozy
thanx for letting us look at your tiny, cozy cottage, it is adorable & looks very comfy
Thank you, I also really love a very old cottage, and I'm very happy with how I live here now. Thank you for the tip, I might do that! ❤️
Your home is lovely...like a rustic cabin. I live in a small (English style) cottage, and have two old dogs. In town, so we walk to a beautiful park that has a creek running through it, woods, and marshland. Best wishes taking care of your home and animals.
Sounds like your home is lovely as well! Thank you very much! ❤️
So glad to see how nicely you manage all the work of your property and tiny home! You are such a pretty woman! I think your house looks great, you live so close to nature and you do a wonderful job! Love the animals, your cute clay art, and all your amazing work! 🥰
Wow, thank you so much for this comment, it means a lot! I try to do my best to show you guys as much as I can and I'm happy you enjoy my videos. Thank you for leaving a comment and watching. ❤️
❤ hi Nikki love your channel I love that you live on a family property. I think that is so cool I wish more people could live like that if they can get along and things are good.
Thank you! I wish more people would be able to as well, I think it's a great way to live. ❤️
Hello again Nikky from upstate NY!
Thanks for this video and the footage of your lovely property and home!
Enjoyed every minute!!
M.
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for leaving a comment, it makes me happy to read ♥️
Hello from Canada! I’m new to your channel, grew up on a farm and now live in the city. Videos like yours are good for my soul. ❤
Welcome and thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I'm really happy you enjoyed my video. ❤️
Oh Nikky, I LOVED this whole video. Showing us the entire property and the drone footage puts it into perspective of how huge your land is! You radiate such positivity and happiness, it shows! I love how you gave us some background of how you arrived at living here! I live in city, and it is my dream when I retire in september to move south in the US where I spent time with my grandmother. The Netherlands is gorgeous, and its sad you said there is not as much land as before. I was thinking maybe you need a little golf cart to ride around the property to to visit your mom. 🙂 you are truly living the dream. I love all of the animals and you even made a bedroom for your baby! I saw a picture of Africa, have you been there? you said you traveled. Don't worry about any messes, it looks quite tidy to me. It is alot of work keeping up with all of the animals, the property, I'm sure you're tired at night! I truly hope one day my daughter ( she is 18 almost 19) finds her true happiness. She is in college but not sure what she wants to do with her studies. She is a literary genius, and it will be something along English degree, or translator. Your parents did a great job raising you, appreciating all of God's miracles and the beauty of our earth. I am so envious, I could live in a tiny house, and be HAPPY HAPPY. You're a ray of sunshine to watch and your just adorable! I can't wait to see the place in summertime. Do you have a vegetable garden? also, can I ask what you studied at university, because you are jack of all trades! see you next week, take care!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. ♥️ I try to be just a positive person, if I can. And I just really love my life and I love to share it with you all! And I’m sure your daughter will find her way. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time. Your compliments made my day again, thank you so much! It really motivates me every week. See you next week ♥️
Oh and I live in Horsefly BC Canada. We usually have a couple weeks of -38C but mostly -15 C - 25C and snow but not so much this year.
I love your property, your living space, and the life you live. Stunning !! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you! ❤️
What a lovely home and farm. I am so happy for you and thank you so much for sharing with us. I also love to be outside and I could not imagine life without animals. We can learn alot from them. Hugs for a very nice video! ☺
You are very welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. And you are so right about the animals. Thank you for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
Loved the quick look in the messy bedroom. Made me laugh 🤣 You are such a beautiful sweet girl. Enjoyed the video and hearing about your life.
Thank you so much! I try to keep it honest and show the things that are not picture perfect, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Thank you! That was really fun and your home and property are very beautiful.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Just came across your channel & im enjoying learning about you & your beautiful home 🥰 Hi from this Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 girl living in the Philadelphia Area 🇺🇸 30 + years…I will subscribe
Thank you so much for your comment, it made me happy to read you think my home is beautiful 😊 how do you like living in the Philadelphia area? It’s so different from Dublin. Thank you for subscribing and following my journey! I post a new video every Sunday ♥️
It is indeed very different 🥰 I came here when I was 21 to be an Au-Pair, within 5 months I married my husband 🤦🏼♀️🥰 who is American & now we have 5 grown sons & 7 grandchildren 🥰 life is good
Yes, you are fortunate to live small but your outdoors space is huge! Your place is perfect for you and it's seems bigger and comfortable. Enjoy life!
Thank you so much!
I love your views and your home. You are very fortunate! You are such a beautiful young lady. 😊
Thank you so much ♥️
Just passing through and had to give you a couple minutes of my time. I fell in love immediately and think you are just beautiful and seem to be full of life. I am an older woman living with my husband and two spoiled cats in North Carolina, USA.. Your property is just beautiful and certainly a place most anyone would appreciate. Keep up your good work on here and blessings to you and those you love. I will be checking back before too long Nancy H.
Hey Nancy, thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment, it means a lot to me! I’m very happy you enjoyed my video and thank you for your kind words ♥️
Just found your channel and absolutely LOVE your tiny cottage and property!!! I also live in a small cottage, but in Canada , both my parents are from The Netherlands. The views from your windows are idyllic, such a paradise. I really appreciate how you keep things real and honest, it's very refreshing and inspiring, thank you!
Wow, thank you so much, it means a lot! I love the views from my windows, but I'm sure you have those beautiful views as well! Thank you, I do my best to keep everything as honest as possible, but still enjoyable to watch. Thank you for taking the time to write a comment, I really appreciate it. ❤️
We really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I love to hear it, thank you so much! ♥️
Hi. Awww I absolutely loved this. Your tiny home is lovely and I really like your overall set up of situation of home and outdoors. Your best friend is gorgeous. He has such a lovely vibe. I look forward to your next video. Best wishes from South Wales Uk. 🐎🦮🐈⬛🐔🐖💚
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you loved the video. And thank you for your kind words about Zenno, he truly is my best friend and I love him so much. How is the weather in South Wales now? Here we have a bit colder weather again, unfortunately. I'm so ready for spring ☀️
Hi. You're so welcome. I really enjoy your videos. Zenno looks so content with life. It's lovely to see. Oh my the weather yesterday was crazy. Sun, Rain, Hail stones , Snow/Sleet, Thunder and lightening. Over one day. And back to a normal spring (ish) day today. So today it is the start of the outside clean up .And checking on the wildlife. Fun times ;) I wish for you and yours a wonderful day. @@nikkydegraaf
Hi Nikki! I just found your channel and am watching you from New England in the U.S. I am also an animal and nature lover as well. Right now I have 3 dogs and an older very well loved kitty but I have had chickens,sheep,goats,pigs and a pony when I lived in Vermont and my children were young. I also heated with a wood stove back then and used 2 wood stoves this winter to stay warm. I very much enjoyed your tour of your property and your tiny home…. I have been think about going tiny for a while now… in Massachusetts where I live now only a few towns allow them. So I am going to start looking for land to buy so I can get back to gardening and raising chickens for eggs and living tiny!
Hey, welcome! That sounds like a lot of animals, thats so cool. I'm very happy you enjoyed my video. I love sharing everything with you guys. I really hope you find a nice place to buy. Thank you for your comment ❤️
Love it ❤ enjoy 😊
Very beautiful dress
Thanks!
i just found your channel! You are a complete delight! Thank you for the honest tour, your home and lifestyle are inspiring and lovely. You seem a truly beautiful soul, inside and out. Glad to "meet" you, Nikky!
Thank you so much, those kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to write this comment and thank you for the compliments. I try my best, it makes my day to read this. Glad to meet you too! ❤️
Nikki I used to live in the countryside of Ireland now I live in the countryside of Australia a whole different ball game. I love seeing the Netherlands countryside reminds me of home and I too love animals ❤
Thank you! I'm sure Australia is so different, but it must be very beautiful in it's own way. I would love to go there one day. Thank you for watching ❤️
I really love your videos. They are exactly what I want to watch - not beautified cottagecore and preferably Europe, because it is so relatable! I don't have a lot to say now but I want to comment so TH-cam recommends your videos to more people. Just this morning your video was recommended to me, and you had 3.14 K subscribers (pi number!), and after that one video I have watched two more, so it's a couple hours later, and you have 3.17K subscribers! Perhaps by this evening the number will be even higher! I really hope you get something out of your work on this channel, because it brings me so much pleasure.
I love to hear it, it really motivates me to read people enjoy my videos so much. Thats so sweet of you, I hope it works out and my channel will keep growing. I would love to be able to spend more time making TH-cam videos, so it would definitely help if the channel grows. I hope you are right and the number will be higher this evening, but the kind comments make it worth every second of my time. Thank you for leaving a comment, it means so much! ❤️
New to your channel..lovely home … what more could you ask for really…this seems the perfect life to me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Nice tour, Nikky. What a great deck to watch the world!
Thank you very much! I really like how the deck turned out, I enjoy it every day. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, it means a lot. ♥️
I'm new to the channel. Your home is lovely! Such beautiful views! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! ❤️

Peace and tranquillity ❤
♥️
beautiful place...you are very lucky.....
Thank you very much, I feel lucky every day and I’m happy I’m able to share it with you!
Hey Nikki! This is the first time seeing your video pop up and I subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and the property you live on. It is gorgeous there. I love all of the animals. They are all adorable. You are truly blessed to be in that beautiful place. It seems so peaceful too. I love your tiny home so much. I think it is perfect. The stone walls, the wood walls, the flooring, the paint colors, the layout, the ceiling, the furniture, the decor, and especially those views from your windows are really picture perfect. I loved your dress by the way. It is very pretty. I also really like your clay pieces. The candle holders are so cool. You are very artistic and quite lovely too. Your voice and accent are calming to listen to as well. I am looking forward to catching up on your videos and watching your next video. Thanks again for sharing. Have a beautiful blessed day! 🙏 From Melissa in the mountains of Virginia, USA. 🇺🇸
Hey Melissa, thank you so much! I really appreciate the support. I love to share it with you, and a comment like this makes my day. I try my best to show everything in a realistic way and not make it any better or more beautiful or anything like that, so I really appreciate your compliments about my cottage and me. It means so much that you enjoy watching my videos and listening to the things I share. Thank you again for taking the time to write this, and I hope you have a beautiful day as well! ❤️
@@nikkydegraaf Aww, thank you! You are welcome. 😊
Oh my goodness your sweet horse!🤣So adorable.
For me your house is the perfect size, maybe even a bit too big. I would probably move my bed into the main area and use the bedroom as a walk-in closet because I don't plan to have a lot of visitors when I have my own. That large window is perfect for the table. A beautiful view. I'm so glad you found your happiness.
Since you make your own soap, I was wondering if you make other beauty supplies? Because your skin is amazing and I want to look like that. Please don't tell me it's genetics.😅
Again, i love your dress.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I actually only make my own soap and I don't really use any other beauty supplies, so I guess I'm just very lucky with my skin. 😂
@@nikkydegraaf You are very lucky! And I think you just answered my question -- I've long suspected the beauty industry did more harm than good.
Hi NIkky,I have just discovered your channel,what a lovely lifestyle you have there,your dog is just lovely,as are the horses and other animals
Thank you so much!
Did I see a gnome? I love gnomes. Your house and your property are perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Love your journey Niki.Also your tiny home.😊
Thank you, it means a lot!
You are lovely, you have beautiful eyes. İ loved your property.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I just found your channel so was perfect to learn about your home and way of life.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hello from tiny home in Poland. You have a lovely house
Thank you! ♥️
awwww, Zenny is so sweet.
He is a very sweet old boy ❤️
We in Sparta,Tennessee, USA - love your vídeos!!! 🇺🇸👍🌿🥬🍅🌶️ 😊
Thank you so much for following my journey ♥️
God bless you as you enjoy your surrounding, animals and work hard to provide for all your needs. Your house is perfect. Hope you get to interact with real people as well. So great you are close to your family I have seen 2 of your videos I liked them. Be encouraged in Jesus who never leaves you or forsakes you. Knowing him can make any time of loneliness change into glorious hope. ❤from Canada
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me! ❤️
What a lovely soul you are.
Beautiful outside and inside. God bless you lovely lady.😀❤️
Thank you ♥️
Thank you for sharing! ❤

It sounds like you have found your bliss.
Love it all!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing- great video!
Thank you! ♥️
Hoi Nikky, wat een mooie plek en dat nog wel in provincie Utrecht, ben zelf ook in die provincie geboren 16 km ten zuiden van stad Utrecht in het groene hart van Nederland. Je woont daar heel erg mooi en net wat je zegt als je toch veel buiten bezig bent, mag je ook tevreden zijn met een kleine plek om te wonen. Ik heb ook ongeveer zo gewoond en het beviel mij best, als ik maar ruimte en natuur om me heen heb, zou ik het zo weer doen. Leuk die Tinker die op haar kont blijft zitten, ha, ha, lieve hond ook, fijn plekje onder je bed. Leuk om alles te zien zo, geniet er maar van.
Hey, wat leuk om te horen! Het bevalt mij inderdaad heel goed zo, maar het is dan ook heerlijk om al die buiten ruimte te hebben en ik ben mij goed bewust van het feit dat ik veel geluk heb dat het zo kan. Het is ook heerlijk om de diertjes om mij heen te hebben. Super bedankt voor je leuke reactie, ik waardeer het heel erg!
Very enjoyable presentation. Thanks.
Thank you! ❤️
Hi Nikky, nooit gedacht dat er een tweede van mij rondloopt op deze aardbol hihihi. Hoewel ik 31 jaar ouder ben herken ik zo ontzettend veel van jou met 1 groot verschil JIJ KUNT GELUKKIG JE DROOM LEVEN ZOALS JE WILT , HEERLIJK IN DE NATUUR❣
Ik kan alleen maar blijven dromen van een huisje achteraf met wat grond en dieren, des te meer geniet ik met volle teugen van jou video's. Ook ik ben realistisch 🤠 en LEEF in mijn appartementje. Ook bij mij is het geen meubeltoonzaal hoor. Net zoals jij leg / gooi ik de spullen die ik snel even kwijt moet op een hoop. Eens in de zoveel tijd ga ik dan die stapel eens te lijf om weer wat orde op zaken te stellen. Helaas duurt dat opgeruimde nooit langer dan een dag of 3 🤭 . Meiske geniet zolang je kunt van je geweldige leven in de natuur en dank je wel dat we deelgenoot mogen zijn van al dat moois ❣❤❣
Hello from Canada! I just found your channel, and I think you have excellent english! Your tiny house is gezellig, Nikky! Ya, I understand Dutch, since my parents are from Holland and emigrated here quite some time ago. Nice to hear about Holland, and see a tiny glimpse of your part of the world. My dad is from Zeist, and Mom was from Terneuzen. My husbands parents are from Holland as well🙂Dag!
Hey, welcome! Thank you, that means a lot. I try my best to improve my English every day. I’m so glad you like my channel and I’m able to share some things from Holland with you. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it! Dag! ♥️
Nikky, actually you need a room for your work and extra staff when you are not using daily! For a single person your place is enough to live...we dont need more place to moving on.....but some people like big houses, many rooms, more spaces for their unlimited staff!!💖💖💖💖
Hello Nikki. I know this is an older film, but I just found you. I can see how much you love your animals and tiny living. You mentioned you went to university in Amsterdam. I am interested in knowing what you studied and how do you earn your income from your tiny place. I plan on watching more films on you tube. Unfortunately I do not subscribe to Instagram or other social networks. Looking forward to hearing from you..and seeing the rest of your films. ❤️
Your tiny house is lovely and what a blessing to be in such beautiful surroundings and to have the animals there. It is an idyllic lifestyle to me, yet I do know it must be hard work looking after the animals and the land. One thing I am worried about is the wolf that you mentioned in a previous video where you said because of the wolf the neighbours sheep/lambs had to be kept in the shed for safety. You mean you have wolves roaming around and howling at night ?!! Is that scary 😲. Sorry if you have answered this before but I am a new subscriber.
Thank you so much! I really love it, even the hard work. It's just part of it and I try to enjoy every moment. Well, we have a few wolves in the area, but I have not seen them on the property. Hopefully it stays this way. We also not really hear them, we mostly hear the foxes at night, there are a lot around here. Thank you for writing a comment and asking a question, I always try to answer everything, so if you want to know anything, just ask! ❤️
@@nikkydegraaf Thank you for your reply which is most interesting to me. I have lived in a country with foxes so I know what an ear splitting noise they can make at night 😀 but never lived in a country with wolves. Here we also have plenty of wildlife - kangaroos and wallabies of course; but also at night the possums can make a big noise on the roof.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you! ❤️
I don't know why I missed this video! I am subscribed for some time now with 'notifications' ON!
you live a rich life Nikky and it shows in your smile! Free rent on a family owned property in the fresh air countryside with animals, privacy & silence. Enjoy ALL your videos.
How do you pay for your food & supplies, a side job for income? see you soon
Hello, I would say you do a nice job with your Tiny House. It looks very nice and you look so healthy. You have beautiful skin! I used to make soap and I enjoyed doing that. I should get back to it. I am 71, but I keep very busy selling on Ebay and I do a TH-cam channel as well. I love the outdoors and nature as well.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I think I'm just very blessed with good skin, because I think I don't really take good care of it. Just a lot of rain, fresh air and sunshine, but it works. Sounds like you keep very busy indeed, good job, it sounds amazing. ❤️
Clean your place ... Just funning , your home is Beautiful .
Thank you! ❤️
Love it! I live in a tiny home in rural South Island NZ, I know the lifestyle😅
Thank you! That must be an amazing place to life!
