The cottage is located in the yard of our national monumental farm in the watery Terkaple. We always call the cottage the 'hokje' but is a tastefully renovated vacation home with all modern conveniences. It is 1 large room suitable for families and groups of friends up to 5 people. The bathroom and toilet are in the same room behind a wall and screen. Outside is an authentic farmers outdoor toilet a so-called 'convenience'.

Nature and surroundings

Our yard is 4500 square meters and half lies on open waterways. We therefore have a valkje or sups for rent to make beautiful trips in the largest nature reserve in the Netherlands the Frisian Lakes. It is also fantastic walking or cycling. Bicycles can be rented at tweewieler centrum Joure and will be delivered and picked up if you order them.

    Nice cottage, but really needs some attention in terms of maintenance and some replacement.And I would really put a wall in the bathroom and replace the toilet with something more modern because it makes an awful lot of noise.But thank you for the friendly reception.

    The cottage is beautiful, and the host tremendously friendly. However, the cottage needs a bit of an update. The couch is very old and rather dirty. There is no way to relax on it. There are some things broken, which is not very bad, but it would be nice if it was fixed. There are a lot of cobwebs, in a house / barn like this may be a little part of it, but there were a lot, even in places where it is easy to clean. The decking and lounge set outside are really in need of replacement and / or maintenance. What you really need to consider is that it is an open bathroom, so the toilet and shower are actually just in the middle and open in the living room. There are no enclosed areas, even in terms of sleeping. The beds, on the other hand, are very comfortable. So is the jacuzzi!!! The sauna does not work! And finally: we were with two cars and because there were many visitors we could unfortunately only park with 1 car on the property.

    We have had a truly wonderful stay in Terkaple: Here it is enjoyable: It is very atmospheric, authentic and cozy, more than enough space and equipped with all the comforts (that you wish to unwind). Our teenagers loved it: The perfect "chill" place! The host family gave us all the space and tranquility and were immediately ready when we needed them anyway (because we had not read the welcome email). Also, Joure is very close for a forgotten errand. This location is definitely recommended and we would love to come back again!

    The cottage is in a beautiful place, next to a beautiful Frisian farm, on several small waters, in a small village. More than enough greenery, peace and quiet and space around the cottage. It was wonderfully quiet during our stay.

    Blessed to shower outside (hot)..also possible in cottage.Bathroom behind screen is rather smaller and toilet rather noisy (disturbing for kids at night).TV and internet present but has not been tested. Kids had a great time on/in the water.

    Very quiet location. Wake up to rhythm and sounds of the birds... Sufficiently spacious garden with possibility to use trampoline, sup, kayak and rowing boat. Jacuzzi, outdoor shower and lounge with an eye on playing children... Even though we went for the nature experience; dishwasher, washing machine, oven, microwave etc. were present. Host family was very considerate of our privacy and were super friendly.
