A cozy and bright vacation apartment with a private entrance and easy access in Houwerzijl, near Lauwersmeer. The apartment is located on an old dike along a small dead-end road. The view of the open countryside, colorful sunrises, and picturesque skies is truly unique. The apartment (46 m²) features a luxury kitchen, a bathroom, one bedroom with a double bed (160 cm wide), and another bedroom with a double bed (140 cm wide). Both rooms feature a round table with chairs, a closet, and a sitting area with a TV. The apartment is typically rented for 2–4 people and can be expanded—for an additional fee—to include an adjacent luxury double room (18 m²) with two single beds (90 cm wide), which can also be combined into a double bed, along with a table and sitting area, to accommodate a group of up to 6 people. Please contact the owner to discuss the options.
Nature and surroundings
Houwerzijl is a small mound village in the Marne: a former peninsula in the Hogeland, near the Friesland-Groningen border. It is situated in the middle of five nature reserves: the Reitdiep Valley, Middag Humsterland, Lauwersmeer, the Wadden Sea, and Schiermonnikoog. Houwerzijl is a great base for exploring the surrounding area: hiking, biking, or canoeing through an ancient cultural landscape featuring mounds, winding roads, and waterways. Get some fresh air along the Wadden Sea, go mudflat walking, get stranded on a sandbar, go birdwatching, or sail on Lauwersmeer. The picturesque villages, manor houses, farms, and medieval churches are a feast for the eyes and regularly serve as the setting for cultural activities and events for all ages. The student city of Groningen and the fortified town of Dokkum are just a half-hour drive away. The ferry to Schiermonnikoog is within cycling distance. In short, this nature house is the ideal spot for a relaxing vacation, a midweek getaway, or a cozy weekend.

Nice and spacious, everything you need present. Beautiful surroundings.
Lekker ruim, alles wat je nodig hebt aanwezig. Mooie omgeving.
A nice cottage without mosquito nuisance thanks to all the mosquito screens. In the night the sound of croaking frogs, in the evening seen hares and deer. Friendly guidance from the hostess Marlies, we recovered nicely.
Een fijn huisje zonder muggenoverlast dankzij alle horren. In de nacht het geluid van kwakende kikkers, in de avond hazen en reeen gezien.
Vriendelijke begeleiding van de gastvrouw Marlies.
We zijn lekker bijgekomen.This text is automatically translated. -

No electric vehicle charging station nearby.
Geen oplaadpunt voor elektrische voertuigen in de buurt.
Fine, energetically excellent, apartment. The stairs up are a bit steep if you have mobility problems. There is no charging point for electric vehicles in the village. The owner found a neighbor willing to charge our car.
Prima, energetisch uitstekend, appartement. De trap naar boven is wat steil als je slecht ter been bent.
Er is in het dorpje geen oplaadpunt voor elektrische voertuigen. De eigenaresse heeft een buurman bereid gevonden onze auto op te laden.This text is automatically translated. -

Just a fantastic cottage.
Gewoon een fantastisch huisje.
A wonderful place and beautiful vacation home. We were warmly received by Marlies. The house is fully equipped and super clean. The beds are lovely with plenty of pillows, both harder and softer pillows. Free view from the window. When the sun was shining we also used the cozy terrace downstairs.The area is top. On a rainy day we went to Groningen where you are within half an hour. On nicer days we walked in the neighborhood and near the Lauwersmeer. Also visited one of the many borgen, Verwildersum. In this area there is also a lot of art to experience. we chose museum Helmantel. From here a day trip to Schiermonnikoog is also recommended. Reason enough to come back again.
Een heerlijke plek en prachtige vakantiewoning. We werden allerhartelijks door Marlies ontvangen. De woning is van alle gemakken voorzien en super schoon. De bedden zijn heerlijk met ruime hoeveelheid kussens, zowel hardere als zachtere kussens. Vrij uitzicht uit het raam. Toen de zon scheen hebben we ook gebruik gemaakt van het knusse terrasje beneden.
De omgeving is top. Op een regenachtige dag zijn we naar Groningen geweest waar je binnen een half uurtje bent. Op mooiere dagen hebben we in de buurt en bij het Lauwersmeer gewandeld. Ook één van de velen borgen, Verwildersum, bezocht. In deze omgeving is ook veel kunst te beleven. wij kozen voor museum Helmantel. Hier vandaan is een dagje Schiermonnikoog ook een aanrader. Reden genoeg om nog eens terug te komen.This text is automatically translated.
