Nature house in Giethoorn
Overijssel, Netherlands
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Our cozy nature house has a cozy living room. There is a modern 3-seater sofa and 2 easy chairs, and a dining table for 4. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed (140×200). Upstairs is a bedroom with double bed (140x200) and a TV lounge room. Please note that it is a somewhat steeper staircase. In total there is sleeping accommodation for 4 people. There is central heating throughout. The bathroom has a retro look with a nice shower and toilet. For self-catering there is a 4-burner gas stove, a microwave oven and a spacious refrigerator with freezer. In front of the cottage we have a generous garden with bbq, patio chairs and dining table. You overlook the private canal. At less than 10 steps you have miles of endless rippling water. The cottage is in the lee of the hustle and bustle of the village on a path with Gieterse homes. The car you park at 3 minutes walk, for luggage there is a wheelbarrow to transport your belongings. It is lovely all year round.
Nature and surroundings
Waking up in the morning, cup of coffee in hand, when then the first rays of the sun try to reach the land, cackling geese fly by and clattering storks tending their nest together, the true enjoyment begins. Along the path in the private garden is rustically hidden behind tall greenery this sweet thatched cottage. Located directly on a dead-end canal to open waterways. And the car within 200 meters walking distance. From its own plot you can take a boat out to a beautiful nature reserve with extensive fishing and boating water (directly near `het Wiede´). Besides walking and cycling and the cozy terraces in the beautiful village of Giethoorn it is also nice to visit eg Blokzijl or Vollenhove. Steenwijk is about 5 km away and has a nice shopping street. Meppel has a very nice historic (shopping) center with several squares and terraces, but also Dwarsgracht, Muggenbeet, Sint Jansklooster, Oldemarkt and Zwolle are recommended.

We felt very comfortable there thanks to the quiet, green setting and the cozy spaces both inside and outside the house. We were grateful for the landlords’ responsiveness and the fly screens throughout the house.
We were surprised by the long list of rules and, in particular, that we were expected to dispose of or pay for the general waste ourselves (something we’ve never experienced before).
We found the many restrictions on dogs somewhat annoying. We think this kind of information should be included in the property description so that guests can decide before booking whether they’re willing to accept these conditions.Es ließ sich sehr wohlfühlen durch die ruhige Lage im Grünen und gemütlichen Plätzen in und außerhab des Hauses. DAnkbar waren für für die gute Ansprechbarkeit der Vermieter und die Fliegengitter im gesamten Haus.
Verwundert hat uns die lange Regelliste und insbesondere, dass wir den Restmüll selbst entsorgen oder bezahlen sollten (bisher nicht erlebt).
Etwas ärgerlich fanden wir die vielen Einschränkungen für den Hund. Wir denken, solche Informationen gehören in die Hausbeschreibung, damit man vor der Buchung entscheiden kann, ob man sich darauf einlassen möchte.A very nice, quiet spot, though it depends on how guests in the nearby cottages behave. Since it’s located on a cul-de-sac off the canals, there’s no through traffic. Otherwise, Giethorn gets very crowded on weekends, but paddling was fun during the week.
Sehr schönes ruhiges Plätzchen, allerdings in Abhängigkeit, wie sich Gäste in nahegelegenen Häuschen verhalten. Durch Lage an Sackgasse der Grachten kein Durchgangsverkehr. Ansonsten in Giethorn am Wochenende sehr voll, in der Woche machte paddeln Spaß.

The cottage is for 4 people,we find it too cramped.The stairs are too steep and without a handrail.Upstairs is the TV,not a nice place to enjoy watching a movie if you have to go up or down the stairs.Not at all if you bring a dog,it is downstairs and the people upstairs.If it is dark as was the case with us when we arrived,it is very difficult to get there. There are no lights hanging. We used our flashlight from the phone.
Het huisje is voor 4 personen, wij vinden het te krap.
De trap is te steil en zonder leuning.
Boven staat de tv, geen fijne plek om lekker een film te bekijken als je de trap op of af moet.
Helemaal niet als je een hond meeneemt, die ligt beneden en de mensen boven.
Als het donker is zoals bij ons het geval was toen wij aankwamen, is het heel moeilijk om er te komen. Er hangt geen verlichting. Wij hebben onze zaklamp van de telefoon gebruikt.We did not stay long in the cottage.Upon entering we smelled a pit smell, this was very present.This caused us to leave after half an hour.
Wij zijn niet lang in het huisje gebleven.
Bij binnenkomst roken wij een putjeslucht, dit was erg aanwezig.
Dit heeft ervoor gezorgd dat wij na een half uur weg zijn gegaan.This text is automatically translated. -
