Imagine this: An island on the Vinkeveense Plassen. A self-sufficient log cabin measuring 30 m2. Free use of a well-maintained motorboat with a 4pk internal combustion engine. You don’t need a boating license for this. The boat is insured; the deductible is €250. There are 4 sleeping spots. Toilet, (hot) shower, electricity, pellet stove, TV (with Dutch channels and YouTube), reliable internet, Wi-Fi, refrigerator, gas stove, and 200 m² of outdoor space all to yourselves. Build a campfire; bring your dog—no problem. If you’re not familiar with boating, we’ll need 30 minutes of your time to teach you the basics. You’ll learn the finer points as you go during your vacation. We talk about the weather a lot in the Netherlands. On an island, you’ll experience the weather more intensely—so be prepared.
Nature and surroundings
The Vinkeveense Plassen are a household name. Located in the Green Heart, within the Natuurnetwerk Nederland (NNN) area, bordering Botshol (Natura 2000). It ranks among the top diving spots in the Netherlands, thanks to its crystal-clear water. All of that is true, and you can enjoy it to the fullest. Life on an island adds an extra dimension to the experience. On the island, you’re in very direct contact with the weather. A refreshing dip in one of the cleanest natural waters in the Netherlands will make you forget all your worries.

We stayed in the cottage with our two cats for 11 nights and would have stayed even longer. The property is beautifully situated right on the water. The lake is perfect for fishing, swimming, and simply taking it all in. It has everything you need, the hosts are very friendly, and communication was very easy. The shower just takes a little getting used to, but even that’s no big deal. All in all, we had a great getaway.
Wir waren 11 Nächte in dem Häuschen mit zwei Katzen und würden noch länger bleiben. Das Grundstück ist herrlich mitten im Wasser. Der See ist perfekt zum Angeln, Schwimmen und einfach bestaunen. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht, die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und Kommunikation gestaltete sich sehr einfach. Nur die Dusche ist einbisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber auch das ist halb so schlimm. Alles in einem hatten wir super Auszeit gehabt.
It's just a wonderful place to unwind. The tranquility is indescribable, and it's great to watch the boats go by.
Es ist einfach wunderschöner Ort zum Abschalten. Die Ruhe ist unbeschreiblich und vorbei fahrende Boote sind toll zum Anschauen.
