This idyllic nature house in Giethoorn is one of the Netherlands’ best-kept secrets. When you cross the water via a small bridge from the street, you’ll walk along a boardwalk through the reeds to arrive at a true oasis with a stunning view of the Bovenwijde. One thing is immediately clear: here, you’ll fully enjoy long weekends or wonderful vacations right here at home! The cottage has been completely renovated and insulated. In addition to central heating with underfloor heating, there’s a cozy gas fireplace. The spacious open kitchen is fully equipped. The living room is tastefully furnished so you can fully enjoy the view. The fenced-in yard invites you to play and relax on the lounge sofa. The yard features a huge trampoline where (older) kids can burn off their energy. The cottage accommodates up to 4 adults and 2 children.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is situated in a truly unique location right on the Bovenwijde in the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, in the quiet part of Giethoorn. In the morning, you’ll be awakened by hundreds of birds, all eager to make their voices heard. With a little luck, you’ll spot deer in the field; a kingfisher will fly by, and you’ll hear the rumbling call of the bittern. In the winter of 2021, otters even came to play right in front of the cabin—an unforgettable experience! You’ll also be watched by buzzards, while storks, geese, and herons fly past you. A true delight! The village of Giethoorn is the “Venice of the North.” The typical little bridges and the thatched-roof farmhouses built on small islands, with their well-maintained gardens, define the village’s character. Boat tours, bike rides, and hikes; visits to museums, galleries, or shops; and the National Park visitor centers—the possibilities are endless.

Highly recommended
Absolut empfehlenswert
Everything you need is here, and it's a great place to unwind.
However, fishing is only possible—and successful—in the mornings and evenings during the quieter times.Alles vorhanden und schön zum Abschalten.
Angeln ist jedoch nur morgens und abends zu den ruhigen Phasen möglich und erfolgreichThis text is automatically translated. -

We felt very comfortable there. The initial cleaning could have been more thorough, especially when it came to the windows and the oven. But those are just minor, normal issues. We’ll definitely book again!!!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Vorreinigung hätte ambitionierter ausfallen können, besonders bei den Fenstern und dem Backofen. Aber das sind nur kleine und normale Mängel. Wir werden auf jeden Fall nochmals buchen!!!
A great house in the middle of nowhere, yet close to everything you need. Beautifully furnished. Pure relaxation.
Tolles Haus mitten im Nirgendwo aber doch nah bei allem Notwendigen. Toll eingerichtet. Entspannung pur.

Nice little house, plenty of seating areas, and fully equipped. We had everything we needed. The only thing to note is that ventilation in the bathroom and toilet is limited. Other than that, I highly recommend it. We’ll definitely be back.
Mooi huisje, veel zitjes en compleet. We kwamen niks tekort. Enige aandachtspunt is de ventilatie van het toilet en de wc, deze is beperkt. Voor de rest is het zeer aan te raden. Wij komen zeker een keer terug.
A fantastic place, surrounded by nature and right on the water. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the privacy, and the surroundings.
Fantastische plek, midden in de natuur en aan het water. We hebben zeer genoten van de rust, privacy en omgeving.
