In 2010 we bought this dream spot. Wonderfully quiet, nice former farmhouse, nice spacious garden. We did a lot of renovations to get the inside of our farmhouse back into the old farm atmosphere. Then came the plan to make an apartment in the huge garage. With the same rural farm style but with the luxury you would expect. Purpose: Recreational rental and our guests appreciate Koeterdekoet very much. For guests a private parking space, a private entrance and path to the front door. Living room is 24m2 and the hall is also equipped with a toilet. Nowadays also with CD and record player! Bring your own CD/LP's. Upstairs are the 2 bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower, floor heating and 2nd toilet. Bed linen, Bath towels, tea and towels, it's all there. There is a spacious terrace with firepit / BBQ behind and an additional terrace on the west where you evening eg while enjoying a glass of wine, view of grazing cows, watching the sun go down.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is wonderfully quietly located about 1 km from the West Frisian village of Oterleek, The place is a piece of cultural historical area. It was once a peninsula between the lakes Waerd and the Schermer. The old maps show this nicely but now it has all been reclaimed. The contours, however, are still visible. No traffic nearby, just cows, sheep, hares, croaking frogs, toads and lots of birds. Don't be surprised to see a spotted woodpecker, buzzards, blue and great egrets looking for a tender frog in the ditch or an owl in the tree. Nearby, within cycling distance is the beautiful historic city of Alkmaar but also Hoorn, Enkhuizen are e.g. worth a visit. Furthermore, many quiet picturesque ribbon villages and polders such as the Schermer, Wogmeer and the Beemster. You can also go into nature, where there are many cycling and walking opportunities. On hot days, at ± 15km, there is the beach to cool off and grab a terrace at a beach pavilion.

We've never stayed in such a beautiful and cozy little house before.
Zo,n mooi en sfeervol ingericht huisje hebben we nog nooit meegemaakt.
A truly beautiful place and with all the amenities you could want.
Een geweldige mooie plek en van alle gemakken voorzien.

The best cottage we have hit so far in this price range. Unfortunately for the owners, we are Groningers, and they never give a 10, so non-Groningers may add another point in our minds.
Het best huisje dat we tot nu toe hebben getroffen in deze prijsklasse. Helaas voor de eigenaren zijn wij Groningers, en die geven nooit een 10. Niet Groningers mogen er in gedachten dus nog een puntje aan toe voegen.
This cottage is very fully equipped. The quality of the furniture, white and brown goods and linen is good. We appreciated the screens in the bedroom windows, and were very satisfied with the quality of the beds. The care and attention given by the owners is extraordinary, almost nothing is too much for them. The experience of the guests is central to them, and you notice that in everything, and certainly in the surprising little attentions. We could sit outside on 1 of the terraces, enjoying the cows, hares and birds in the meadow. The area has much to offer, the 10 days we spent in Koeterdekoet were still too short, fat chance that we go back again.
Dit huisje is zeer compleet ingericht. De kwaliteit van het meubilair, het wit en bruingoed en het linnengoed is goed. Wij waardeerden de horren in de slaapkamerramen, en waren zeer tevreden over de kwaliteit van de bedden. De zorg en aandacht die de eigenaren aan het geheel besteden is buitengewoon, bijna niets is hen te veel. De belevenis van de gasten staat bij hen centraal, en dat merk je in alles, en zeker in de verrassende kleine attenties. We konden heerlijk buiten zitten op 1 van de terrassen en genoten daarbij van de koeien, hazen en vogels in de wei. De omgeving heeft veel te bieden, de 10 dagen die we in koeterdekoet hebben doorgebracht waren nog te kort, dikke kans dat we nog eens terug gaan.

A very complete house! Everything is there.A warm welcome with candles lit , fresh bouquet of flowers on the table and some goodies were ready.Excellent contact with the owners .
Een heel compleet huisje ! Alles is aanwezig .
Een warm welkom met kaarsjes aan , vers boeket bloemen op tafel en wat lekkers stond klaar.
Prima contact met de eigenaars .A very nice stay in a very quiet area overlooking a meadow with cows and ducks and meadow birds.
Een heel mooi verblijf in een heel rustige omgeving met uitzicht op een weiland met koeien en eenden en weidevogels.
