The accommodation is located on the site of the former Cistercian Monastery Claercamp. The monastery was founded around 1163, if possible earlier, from the German Cistercian monastery of Riddagshausen and recognized as an abbey in 1165. Klaarkamp was the first Cistercian monastery in the north of the Netherlands, which was favoured by the heirs of the Reginingen, among others. The Cistercian monks originally came from the French Abbey of Cîteaux, which means "the light valley". Klaarkamp means "beautiful beautiful field". The monks wore white caps. The lay brothers wore grey hoods and were called skiere mûntsen ("grey monks") in Frisian.

The mound of Hogebeintum was inhabited from 600 BC. The village in which the mound stood is already mentioned in the 9th century as 'Bintheim'. In the 10th century, the village was apparently split, because there was then a 'Westerbintheim' and an 'Osterbinetheim' (Oosterbeintum). Westerbeintum has been called Hogebeintum since the 15th century. Hoge refers to the height of the mound and Beintum to bunt grass, a type of grass that no longer occurs in the village.
