This idyllic nature house in Giethoorn is one of the best kept secrets in the Netherlands. When you cross the water with a small bridge from the street side, you walk along a boardwalk between the reeds, to arrive at a real oasis with stunning views of the Bovenwijde. One thing is immediately clear: here you will optimally enjoy long weekends or wonderful vacations in your own country! The cottage has been completely renovated and insulated. In addition to a central heating system with underfloor heating, there is a cozy gas fireplace. The spacious open kitchen is equipped with many amenities. The living room is tastefully decorated so you can fully enjoy the view. The enclosed garden invites you to play and rest in the lounge sofa. In the garden is a mega large trampoline where the (big) kids can expend their energy. The cottage can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children. NEW! recently we also rent the renovated Bittern ID: 61037 just as unique! But slightly more available!

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is situated in a truly unique location directly on the Bovenwijde in the National Park the Weerribben-Wieden in the quiet part of Giethoorn. In the morning you will be awakened by hundreds of birds who all want to have their say. With a little luck you will see the deer in the field; a kingfisher flies by and you will hear the humming sound of the bittern. In the winter of 2021 Otters even came to play in front of the cottage; an unforgettable experience! In addition, you are spied by buzzards and the storks, geese and herons fly past you. Truly enjoy! The village of Giethoorn is the "Venice of the North". The typical bridges, the thatched farmhouses built on islands with well-maintained gardens determine the village image. Boat trips, cycling and walking tours, visit museums, galleries or stores, National Park visitor centers; the possibilities are endless.

General rating: 10 /10

The cottage itself is small, cozy and just right for two to three people. Its very simplicity adds to its tranquility. All windows have screens, so you can enjoy the fresh air while the beautiful dragonflies and other insects stay outside. What makes this place extra special are the various seating areas around the cottage. Each spot offers a different beautiful view of nature and the water. I honestly could not choose which one was the most beautiful. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are comfortable and practical. Everything you need is there. In short: an attractive and perfect cottage in a unique place in the middle of nature.

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

This was without a doubt the most beautiful place of all my vacations so far. From the first moment I felt a peace here that I have rarely experienced anywhere else. The view of the water, the fresh air and the beautiful natural surroundings made this stay truly special. Nature here is incredibly rich: trees, birds, animals and the most beautiful sounds all around you. I was truly overwhelmed by the beauty and serenity of this place. It is known that nature is the best antidepressant, and I was able to experience that for myself here. I returned home with much more peace in my mind, new energy and a deep sense of relaxation. Now that I am back home, I notice how special this place actually was. I have only been home for half a day and I must honestly admit that I already miss the beautiful cottage in the middle of nature. For anyone who is looking for silence, beauty, peace and quiet and a place to really take a breath, I highly recommend this location.
