Heating is provided by a wood stove; firewood is provided only for the stove inside. The kitchen features a refrigerator (without a freezer compartment), a stovetop, and a sink with a water heater. Tableware, cutlery, cooking utensils, a coffee maker, and a small oven are provided. The bedroom is open to the living room; the bed is built into a 190x140-centimeter alcove.

Nature and surroundings
The Molenpolder nature reserve consists of ditches and ponds. It forms a natural maze where many animals feel at home. In addition to common bird species, you’ll find the purple heron, the bearded reedling, and the kingfisher. Nearby is the Maarsseveense Plas, where you can swim, hike, or bike. It’s a 15-minute bike ride to Maarssen, 30 minutes to Utrecht, and 45 minutes to Hilversum. The Nedereindsevaart is located along the bicycle junction network. You can take beautiful bike rides in the surrounding area—along the Vecht River, the Loosdrechtseplassen, the Hilversumseheide, or the Maartensdijkse woods. The Gagelbos recreational area is five kilometers away in the Noorderpark. The Spasereen sauna and wellness center is one kilometer away. You may fish in the waters around the cottage with a standard fishing license. The cottage is located in a quiet area; playing music outdoors is not permitted. Open fires are not permitted. However, you may use a barbecue.

Prima communicatie, vriendelijk en flexibele eigenaren
A very beautiful, green, peaceful setting. A large private property with great fishing waters. Absolutely fantastic!
Heel mooi, groene, rustige ligging. Een groot prive terrein met mooi viswater. Helemaal top!

There is Wifi available, but it drops out from time to time. Can be solved by getting a slightly larger data bundle.
Er is Wifi aanwezig, maar die valt af en toe weg.
Kun je oplossen door een iets grotere databundel te nemen.For the fourth time we were guests of Helena and Filip. Lovely stay in the cozy cottage. Waking up with the twittering of the birds, the quacking of the ducks and the gak gak gak of the geese. Unfortunately there was a lot of wind the first few days which made it a bit chilly. But then again, that's to be expected if you go early in April. Before that we were able to enjoy the wood stove. 1 carp caught and 1 released. And of course several roaches.
Voor de vierde keer waren wij te gast bij Helena en Filip.
Heerlijk vertoeven in het knusse huisje.
Wakker worden met het getwitter van de vogels, het gekwaak van de eenden en het gak gak gak van de ganzen.
Helaas was er veel wind de eerste dagen die het wel een beetje fris maakte.
Maar ja, dat kun je verwachten als je vroeg in april gaat.
Daarvoor hebben we dan ook heerlijk kunnen genieten van het houtkacheltje.
1 karper gevangen en 1 gelost.
En natuurlijk verschillende voorntjes.This text is automatically translated. -

Super surroundings, really a nice quiet place.
Super omgeving, echt een mooi rustig plekje.
I was with my son, we had a great time and have nothing to complain about. Friendly landlords. The cottage was fully equipped. Environment was really great. Also the pond at the cottage was beautiful, we have 3 large carp can catch. We like to come again. Goodbye Patrick and Wesley
Ik was met mn zoon, we hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad en hebben niks te klagen. Vriendelijke verhuurders. Het huisje was van alles voorzien. Omgeving was echt geweldig. Ook de vijver bij het huisje was mooi, we hebben 3 grote karpers kunnen vangen. Wij komen graag nog eens .
Mvg Patrick en WesleyThis text is automatically translated.
