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.

    Beautiful cottage, well equipped. The cottage warms up quickly and the gas fire provides coziness.

    It is a beautiful place to unwind in nature. Invites you to sit quietly and take in the surroundings. We saw deer and numerous birds from the living room.

    Was a bit messy in the cottage though and it could be a bit cleaner. Outside are still old half overgrown wooden decking from the footpath which also gives a bit of a messy look. As a city person from a "neat" apartment that was a bit of a different mindset switching on. Taking out the garbage on the last day was a bit tricky because in Giethoorn you need a pass for the underground garbage containers. So do it before you leave!!!

    Beautiful idyllic cottage in beautiful surroundings. Good to heat in winter by CV and gas fireplace. Facilities in the cottage are fine. Beautiful sunrise over the Bovenwiede from the front bedroom.

    Beautiful location, quiet, idyllic. The cottage itself is fully equipped, but noisy, creaky and here and there some overdue maintenance. It may also get a good cleaning once.

    Wonderful location! Quiet place, beautiful view and feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.
