Nature house in De Veenhoop
Friesland, Netherlands
- 12 persons
- 4 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Very spacious 10-12-person family home located directly on open waterways in Friesland, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, a large open-concept kitchen, a spacious living room with French doors opening onto the garden, and 3 porches. The house is surrounded by a spacious garden (2,000 m²) offering plenty of privacy and is situated on a picturesque little harbor. The house has its own dock (45 m). The nature house’s location makes it an ideal base for a vacation in Friesland within the Alde Feanen nature reserve. By boat, it’s a 45-minute ride to Grou or a 20-minute ride to Eernewoude. There are four two-person canoes at the house that you’re welcome to use freely. The 12-person motorboat is available for separate rent, exclusively for experienced skippers. You can also rent a sailboat (Randmeer). In the summer, fresh sandwiches, fresh fruit, smoothies, and other items are available for purchase at the head of the harbor (near De Polle). There are many beautiful hiking, biking, and boating routes in the immediate vicinity.
Nature and surroundings
The area is characterized by beautiful natural scenery, absolute silence, many birds, and numerous cycling, hiking, and boating routes. In particular, “De Ålde Feanen” (258 hectares) offers a unique area of waterways and open spaces with countless small lakes, creeks, and ditches that are interconnected like a maze. This allows you to plan beautiful (boating) routes through the archipelago around Eernewoude, Grou, and Drachten and relive the story of the book “Schippers van de Kameleon.” The Sneekermeer is also within boating range. There are waterfront restaurants in several locations, including at the head of the small harbor. Frisian cities such as Leeuwarden, Franeker (Planetarium), and Dokkum offer a wonderful opportunity for a day trip and a cultural visit.

One thing to note is that the drain in the shower on the first floor isn't draining properly. As a result, you end up standing in a pool of water.
Enige opmerking is dat de advoer van de douche op de 1e etage niet goed doorloopt. Hierdoor sta je in een laag water.
A wonderfully spacious home
Heerlijk ruim huis

It is a house for 12 people, suitable for a large family and less for a family with all couples because there are only two two-person bedrooms and two four-person "dormitories". Wonderfully spacious, even on rainy days (fortunately not had) And a lovely large kitchen with more than enough dishes, large pans, cutlery, bowls etc. Top order. Top notch.The house was clean at the start.Lots of pillows, blankets, things to make you feel at home.Very nice vacation we had with our large active family. Thank you so much!
Het is een huis voor 12 personen, geschikt voor een groot gezin en minder voor een familie met allemaal stellen doordat er maar twee twee-persoons slaapkamers zijn en twee vierpersoons "slaapzaaltjes".
Heerlijk ruim, ook op regendagen (gelukkig niet gehad)
En een heerlijke grote keuken met meer dan genoeg servies, grote pannen, bestek, kommen etc. Top in orde.
Het huis was schoon bij aanvang.
Heel veel kussentjes, dekentjes, dingen om je thuis te laten voelen.
Hele fijne vakantie gehad met ons grote actieve gezin. Hartelijk dank!Lovely large garden, private jetty with use of nice sailboat, canoes and a surfboard.Fenced so dogs do not run away.Surprisingly, contrary to the pictures on the website, a whole Landal green park had sprung up at the front of the house, so less spacious than the pictures suggest. Incidentally not bothered by this as we were mainly in the backyard and on and in the water. Beautiful nature reserve nearby. Little harbor is especially cozy and the jetty is at the end of a spur so in nice weather lots of room to play in the water.
Heerlijke grote tuin, eigen steiger met gebruik van leuke zeilboot, kano's en een surfplank.
Omheind waardoor honden niet weglopen.
Verrassend was dat er in tegenstelling tot de foto's op de website een heel Landal green park verrezen was aan de voorkant van het huis, dus minder ruimtelijk dan de foto's doen vermoeden. Overigens geen last van gehad, want wij waren vooral in de achtertuin en op en in het water.
Mooi natuurgebied vlakbij.
Haventje is vooral gezellig en de steiger ligt aan het einde van een uitloper dus bij mooi weer veel ruimte om te spelen in het water.This text is automatically translated.
