Pets not allowed
The house is comfortably furnished, has a large garden that offers a lot of privacy and is located by the water. The jetty around the house ensures that you can always find a spot in the sun or shade. The kitchen is fully equipped (including oven, dishwasher and Nespresso machine with coffee cups). All linen is provided, the lovely box-spring beds are made up. There is TV, wifi, two bicycles and a rowing boat. You can swim, as the water is clean and clear. The many water lilies, frogs and kingfisher are living proof of that. Unfortunately, fishing is not allowed. Perhaps even more beautiful than the house itself is its location. The house is located in the middle of the nature reserve De Molenpolder and is built on a peninsula with water on two sides. It is about 200 meters from the public road and you reach it via a walking path. Of course, if you prefer to go by rowboat, you can do that too. Sky, trees, reeds and water, that's what you see.
Nature and surroundings
The kingfisher is a regular guest and with a little luck you will see the short-eared owl flying at night. There is a rowboat right outside the door to explore the beautiful area. Although it is a closed area, you can wander for hours. Peat excavation has created a zigzag pattern of elongated ponds and legacies, interspersed with narrow fords and narrow creeks. If you want to explore further afield, two bicycles are available in the barn. The landlords have wonderful walking and cycling routes ready for you, ranging from one hour to a whole day. There is much to see in the area, ranging from the historic estates on the Vecht and the Loosdrecht lakes to the woods and the Hilversumse Hei. Utrecht is also within cycling distance. In 30 minutes you are at the Oude Gracht, right in the center. The beautiful sauna and wellness complex Spa Sereen is less than a kilometer away. Nearby is the village of Maarssen. There are plenty of restaurants and stores for daily shopping.

Wilfred September 12, 2025 General rating:Fully equipped, clean and well maintained.
Van alle gemakken voorzien, schoon en goed onderhouden.
Nature, peace & environment:A beautiful cottage fully equipped in a beautiful setting. Lovely to wake up with a swim, enjoy the many birds and not to mention the peace. Too bad about the car noise from the through road, but that is being worked on, I understand.
Een prachtig huisje van alle gemakken voorzien in een prachtige omgeving. Heerlijk wakker worden met een frisse duik, genieten van de vele vogels en niet te vergeten de rust. Jammer van de autogeluiden van de doorgaande weg, maar daar wordt aan gewerkt, begrijp ik.

Denise September 5, 2025 General rating:Perhaps an idea to post other photos of the garden on Nature House
Wellicht een idee om andere foto’s van de tuin op Natuurhuisje te plaatsen
Nature, peace & environment:The cottage in itself is nothing to criticize, as far as everything is there, even a bottle of wine in the fridge. Compared to the pictures as shown on Nature House it is a world of difference. We found the garden a wilderness. We could barely see the water from the terrace. Reported this to the owner. They like it this way. The reeds near the water they apparently mow in the winter because then there are no birds. They made an extra jetty so you can still look at the water. We think that if you have a beautiful terrace you should also be able to look at the water from there. We think that if the greenery grows between the bars of the terrace through it you don't keep it up properly.
Het huisje op zich is niets op aan te merken, voor zover alles aanwezig, zelfs een flesje wijn in de koelkast.
Vergeleken met de foto’s zoals die worden getoond op Natuurhuisje is het wereld van verschil. Wij vonden de tuin een wildernis. We konden vanaf het terras ook amper op het water kijken. Bij eigenaresse hier melding van gemaakt. Zij vinden het mooi op deze manier. Het riet bij het water maaien ze blijkbaar in de winter omdat er dan geen vogels in zitten. Ze hebben er een extra steiger gemaakt zodat je toch op het water kunt kijken. Wij vinden dat als je een prachtig terras hebt je van daaruit ook op het water zou moeten kunnen kijken. Wij vinden dat als het groen tussen de spijlen van het terras er door heen groeit je het niet goed bijhoudt.This text is automatically translated. -
