Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in the Molenpolder, about three kilometers from the village of Maarssen and close to natural areas such as the Loosdrechtse Plassen and the Tienhovense Plassen. The excavation of peat for peat extraction created a marshy area here with legacies and migration holes. It is home to numerous special bird species, of which the kingfisher is perhaps the most beautiful. But the bittern and bullfinch are also regular guests. From the house itself you can take your rowing boat or canoe out onto the water. Or take a refreshing dip from the jetty. Lazing around with a book or bird-watching is also possible. The area offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and cycling. There are two bicycles ready to explore the area. There are beautiful trips to make, for example along the Vecht with its beautiful estates or to the center of Utrecht. In the cottage there are several walking routes ready, for example through the adjacent Bethunepolder. Fishing is not allowed.

It was, in a word, great.
Het was in één woord geweldig.
We greatly enjoyed the cottage on the water. We had wonderful autumn days and could still enjoy the sun on the terrace overlooking nature and water during the day. In the evenings and mornings, with the pellet stove on, it was wonderfully cozy and warm in the cottage. We took advantage of the well-maintained bikes and also did a lot of hiking in the area. We did not use the available rowboat and the two kayaks, but my husband was still able to swim every day. The peace, nature with its autumn colors and the comfort of the cottage did us tremendous good.
Wij hebben enorm genoten van het huisje aan het water.
Wij hadden heerlijke herfstdagen en konden overdag nog genieten van het zonnetje op het terras met uitzicht op natuur en water. In de avonden en ochtenden, met de pellet kachel aan, was het heerlijk knus en warm in het huisje. We hebben gebruikt gemaakt van de goed onderhouden fietsen en daarnaast veel gewandeld in de omgeving. De aanwezige roeiboot en de twee kajakken hebben wij niet gebruikt, maar mijn echtgenoot heeft elke dag nog kunnen zwemmen. De rust, de natuur met de herfstkleuren en het comfort van het huisje deden ons enorm goed.This text is automatically translated. -

If you didn't hear the road, it would have been a 10.
Als je de weg niet zou horen, dan was het een 10 geweest.
Lovely private spot by the water. Comfortable cottage. Fine seating around the cottage. Nice swimming from your own jetty. Out and about with the canoe. Idyllic!
Heerlijke privé-plek aan het water. Comfortabel huisje. Fijne zitjes rondom het huisje. Lekker zwemmen vanaf je eigen steiger. Met de kano op pad. Idyllisch!
