North Holland, Netherlands

  • 1 bedroom
  • WiFi
  • Pets not allowed
9.3/10
4.9/5

Detached Tiny house on a large lot in a beautiful garden in a very quiet neighborhood near the Zaanse Schans. You’ll quickly feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the last century in this beautiful landscape with its little ditches. Farm animals on the property (two sweet cats, three chickens, and a tame duck—which is also why you can’t bring your own pet). The tiny nature house is fully equipped: new toilet, new shower, double bed, kitchenette, refrigerator, electric kettle, coffee maker, egg cooker, dishes, and maps of the area. Bedding, towels, and kitchen linens are provided and included in the price. Games available to borrow. Wi-Fi access. Heating is provided by wood or an inverter air conditioner. Cooling is provided by French doors with screens or by the air conditioner. You’ll have a view of the meadows, the horses, and the sheep. This is truly ideal for people seeking some peace and quiet—not for partygoers.

Nature and surroundings

Located in a beautiful 16th-century neighborhood that’s not accessible by car. Park 400 meters away and walk with your travel bag, or arrive by bike—which you can bring along in your car. Wheeled suitcases aren’t allowed here to preserve the peace and quiet—they make too much noise on the paths. The neighbors also appreciate the peace and quiet. You can pick up your larger luggage later. Ideal for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility, not for partygoers. Just a stone’s throw away are the Zaanse Schans, the Zaans Museum, the windmills, the Windmill Museum, and the polder with beautiful bike paths leading to the Twiske and Wormerland; Zaandam and Amsterdam are nearby, and a little further away are Volendam, Edam, and the beach. There are several nice restaurants in the immediate vicinity, within walking and biking distance. This is perfect for people looking for some peace and quiet, but who also want to spend a day in Amsterdam or Zaandam or visit one of the many museums in the area. Small rowboats or canoes are available for rent by the half-day, and you can paddle right from your cottage into the polder, which is home to many birds.

    What a lovely spot! Just the walk there—along a narrow path with little bridges past quaint little houses—makes this stay special. Sylvia gives you a very warm welcome, and the cottage is set in a beautiful garden with lovely views all around. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. When the weather is nice, it’s wonderful to open the doors and enjoy the peace and quiet, while an occasional duck, chicken, or cat wanders by. The location is perfect for exploring North Holland by bike: the coast, picturesque villages, and Amsterdam are all within easy reach. Highly recommended!

    Oasis of calm a short distance from the Zaanse Schans.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Sylvia is a wonderful, hospitable hostess who is willing to do anything for you. In the process, she knows an awful lot about the area and its history. When she saw my partner sitting on the terrace by the water in the morning sun, he was served coffee and cake! Her garden and island are a paradise on earth. The Zaanse Schans a stone's throw away, but none of the hustle and bustle when you retire to Sylvia's little estate. The cottage is simple but provides everything you need. The area is great if you like the hustle and bustle of the Zaanse Schans and great if you want to be in nature. We had a great time kayaking there.

What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
