Nature and surroundings
Since the Tiny house is accessible only by boat, we recommend that you do your grocery shopping before you arrive. There is a supermarket a 5-minute drive from the dock/reception area. Free parking for one car is available at this dock/reception area. The natural surroundings on and around the Vinkeveense Plassen not only provide a beautiful backdrop for a day trip, but the marshes are also home to a variety of flora and fauna. De Botshol is even home to a spoonbill colony. Outside the breeding season, this area is accessible only by canoe or rowboat. The Vinkeveense Plassen offer something for everyone in terms of recreation and nature. The lakes are characterized by the spoonbills and the ring of 12 sand islands. There are unique opportunities for water recreation here. You can explore the area by sailboat or motorboat, but it’s also ideal for canoeing or taking an electric boat. A number of routes have been mapped out specifically for canoes and electric boats.

It was really nice. Quiet and perfect for relaxing.
Es war sehr schön. Ruhig und perfekt zum Entspannen
Very quiet. The cottage is located on a small island and has a second vacation rental right next to it. It’s separated by a tall hedge, so you don’t really notice it. You can reach the house by boat. Tineke drove us and our luggage there and picked us up. She’s super friendly, and her cute dog even came along on the way there. We rented a boat right away for €30 a day. I’d recommend that to anyone as a way to get around there. We were there for four days to go fishing. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch much because of the wind. But otherwise, the spot is perfect for fishing—you can cast your line into the lake right from the cottage, or, like we did, head out in a boat.
All in all, it was wonderful. It was clean, tidy, small but very cozy. There’s water, electricity, and a shower. You won’t lack for anything here.
We’d definitely come back!Sehr ruhig. Das Häusschen liegt auf einer kleineren Insel und hat nebendran noch eine zweite Ferienunterkunft. Diese ist durch eine hohe Hecke abgetrennt und man bekommt eigentlich nichts mit. Zu erreichen ist das Haus mit dem Boot. Tineke hat und und unser Gepäck hingebracht und abgeholt. Sie ist super freundlich und auf der Hinfahrt ist sogar ihr süßer Hund mit gefahren. Wir haben uns direkt ein Boot für 30€/Tag gemietet. Das würde ich jedem empfehlen um sich dort fortzubewegen. Wir waren 4 Tage zum Angeln dort. Gefangen haben wir aufgrund des Windes leider nicht so viel. Aber ansonsten ist der Platz perfekt zum Angeln, man kan vom Höusschen aus die Angel in den See werfen, oder wie wir, mit dem Boot rausfahren.
Alles in Allem war es wunderschön. Es war sauber, ordentlich, klein aber sehr gemütlich. Es gibt Wasser und Strom und eine Dusche. Es fehlt hier an nichts.
Wir würden auf jeden Falll wiederkommen!This text is automatically translated. -

Just full score, chances of us going back are very high!
Gewoon volle score, kans dat wij terug gaan is heel groot!
Very nice, quiet area. incredibly friendly owner, always there for you if there is anything. If you, like us, come to fish, the boat rental is really a MUST! In the morning and late afternoon troll, swim because very thick pike and perch. Advice as fish, natural colors. The water is so clear. Even at 3.5 meters depth, that the bright colors do not really work, but that was our opinion. jetty is fine to fish with 4 men like us. Thick tench, bream, roach, Kolblei, zander etc. Cottage is fully equipped and super neatly maintained.
Hele mooie, rustige omgeving.
Onwijs vriendelijke eigenaresse, staat altijd voor je klaar als er iets is.
Als je, zoals wij, komen om te vissen, is het bootje erbij huren echt een MUST! In de ochtend en eind middag lekker trollen, zwemmen namelijk hele dikke snoeken en baarzen. Advies als visje, natuurlijke kleuren. Het water is zo helder. Zelfs op 3,5 meter diepte, dat de felle kleuren niet echt werken, maar dat was onze mening.
Steiger is prima te bevissen met 4 man zoals wij. Dikke zeelt, brasem, voorn, Kolblei, snoekbaars etc.
Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en super netjes onderhouden.This text is automatically translated. -
