Staying in Giethoorn-Midden. This peacefully situated, thatched nature house is set on a spacious property with two gardens that border directly on an accessible nature reserve. A place where you’ll naturally find peace and quiet. The cottage is tastefully decorated and ideal for a relaxing stay, but also perfect for those who enjoy being active. Hiking, biking, and boating start right here from the property. Electric boats, e-sloops, and punters are available for rent on-site. During the early and late seasons, use of a canoe is included free of charge. Inside, there is a comfortable living and dining room and a fully equipped open kitchen featuring, among other things, a 4-burner gas stove, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, combination microwave, and coffee maker. A staircase leads to the sleeping loft, which features a double bed (2x80×200 cm) with single-size duvets. The beautiful bathroom features a shower, sink, hair dryer, and toilet. The cottage is equipped with central heating, cable TV, wired internet, and free Wi-Fi. Outside, there are two terraces with patio furniture.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is located in Giethoorn, within Weerribben-Wieden National Park, in the Kop van Overijssel region. The area is known for its reed beds, swamp forests, and lakes teeming with a rich variety of plants and animals. Giethoorn itself is unique for its many waterways. The famous village canal, countless small ditches, and the surrounding nature define the landscape here. Thatched-roof farmhouses—often built on small islands and surrounded by well-maintained gardens—give the village its distinctive character, along with the many small bridges and walking trails. You’ll spend the night right in the heart of this special water village, where peace and nature are still abundant. In addition to hiking, boating, and biking, Giethoorn offers museums, galleries, and small shops. There’s also plenty to discover outside of Giethoorn. A short distance away lie the heathlands, dolmens, and sheep pens of Southwest Drenthe. Staphorst and the Reestdal offer a completely different, yet equally authentic natural and cultural atmosphere. And for a day trip, Pantropica and Taman Indonesia Animal Park are nearby.

    We had good contact with the friendly owner and also boat rental. The parking lot is about 500 meters from the cottage. With a cart you can transport luggage. A beautiful place to go cycling in the National Park Weerribben-Wieden.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    The nature house is located in the heart of Giethoorn on a side ditch of the water through Giethoorn and is fully equipped. Tourism is of course present but around the nature house you notice little of it. There are two terraces, one in front and one behind the cottage.

    The reception was not what we are used to from Nature House. To our surprise, it was also from another organization namely "Heerlijke huisjes.nl"

    Nature, peace & environment: 3 /5

    The cottage was in the middle of the busy part of Giethoorn, accommodation was good, but not really for tall people, friendly owner, the nature just outside was great for biking.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
