Very spacious 10-12 person family house right on open water in Friesland with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, large open kitchen, spacious living room with French doors and 3 verandas. The house is surrounded by a spacious garden (2000 m²) with plenty of privacy and is located on a picturesque harbor. The house has its own jetty(45m). The location of the nature house makes it ideal as a base for a vacation in Friesland in the Alde Feanen nature reserve. By boat you sail in 45 minutes to Grou, or in 20 minutes to Eernewoude. At the house are 4 two-person canoes that may be used freely. The 12-person motor sloop can be rented separately, for experienced skippers only. You can also rent a sailing boat (Randmeer). In the summer, fresh rolls and fresh fruit/smoothies etc. are for sale at the head of the harbor (at De Polle). There are many beautiful walking, cycling and sailing routes in the immediate vicinity.

Nature and surroundings

The area is characterized by beautiful natural landscape, absolute silence, many birds and numerous cycling, walking and boating routes. Especially "De Ålde Feanen" (258 hectares large) offers a unique water and wandering area with numerous lakes, creeks and ditches which are connected like a maze. In the Archipelago around Eernewoude, Grou and Drachten you can map out beautiful (sailing) routes and relive the book "Schippers van de Kameleon". The Sneekermeer lake is also within sailing range. There are waterfront restaurants in several places, including at the head of the small harbor. The Frisian Cities such as Leeuwarden, Franeker (Planatarium) and Dokkum offer a nice opportunity for a day out and cultural visit.

    We had a wonderful weekend, with 8 adults, a child of 7, a baby and three dogs. The house is beautifully situated and is fully equipped.

    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!

    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.

    The house immediately felt like a "warm coat" to us - wonderfully spacious and also beautifully yet practically furnished.

    The house is right on the water and on a quiet part of the small harbor and has a large spacious garden. The Alde Faenen is a beautiful wetland area!
