Bonus: We have a ground-source heat pump that also cools our nature house in the summer! This nature house is located in the front section of a North Holland-style longhouse farmhouse, situated at the foot of the Dune Reserve and on the edge of a field. The farmhouse was completely renovated in 2012 in the 1930s style. There’s a spacious entryway for coats and boots. The roomy and cozy living room, with windows on three sides, features a large dining table and a sitting area with a TV (and Wi-Fi). The kitchen-diner is perfect for cooking. The owners usually bring over some tasty treats from their harvest. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower (separate toilet). The garden features a picnic table and lounge chairs, whether you prefer the sun or shade, or shelter from the wind. There’s a large lawn for the kids. Check-in and check-out days are Monday through Friday. A weekend stay from Friday to Sunday is also possible, with a late check-out on Sunday. Outside of peak season and Ascension Day, these dates can be adjusted—minimum 3 days—please send a message via “contact.”
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is completely energy-neutral, with a geothermal heat pump for heating and cooling and solar panels to generate our energy. The house is located on a dead-end street, nestled among farms and nature reserves. The beach is 3 km away, accessible by bike or on foot through the North Holland Dune Reserve with its forests and open, hilly dune landscape. It’s also a great route for biking and hiking from Haarlem to Den Helder. Behind the cottage lies a beautiful open field with the Seerijdtsdijkje and Zuiddijk nature reserves, and the Tankval, a lovely little lake teeming with birds and fish. The bus stop is about 200 m away. The Castricum train station is about 3 km away, making Amsterdam, Haarlem, and Alkmaar easily accessible by public transportation. If you’re driving, you can also quickly reach Bakkum/Castricum from the A-9. The Hortus Bolborum in Limmen, the Cheese Market in Alkmaar, the Egmond towns, Amsterdam City Center… it’s all just a stone’s throw away. If your desired start date isn’t available, please check if other dates are possible via “contact”!

A wonderfully spacious house. It even stays cool downstairs during a heat wave. A very friendly and flexible hostess. Close to the dunes and the beach.
Heerlijk ruim huis. Beneden zelfs koel tijdens een hittegolf. Heel vriendelijke en flexibele gastvrouw. Dichtbij duingebied en strand.
Spacious grounds surrounding the house, with sweeping views of the meadows. Hiking trails from the dune area even pass right by the house. The beach is a 15-minute bike ride away.
Ruim terrein rondom het huis, weids uitzicht over de weilanden. Wandelpaden vanuit het duingebied komen zelfs langs het huis. Strand op een kwartiertje fietsen.

It is a lovely spacious cottage with full kitchen and three bedrooms. Ideal for a company.
Het is een heerlijk ruim huisje met complete keuken en drie slaapkamers. Ideaal voor een gezelschap.
The cottage is located on the outskirts of Bakkum. From the living room you have a view of the landscaped (flower) garden and meadow. Planes do fly depending on the wind but we did not find that disturbing.
Het huisje ligt op de rand van Bakkum. Vanuit de woonkamer heb je uitzicht op de aangelegde (bloemen)tuin en weiland. Wel vliegen er vliegtuigen afhankelijk van de wind maar wij vonden dat niet storend.
