Nature and surroundings

The cottage is located at the end of the road and is the last cottage in Sandfirden. It is surrounded by water and meadows. The village of Sandfirden consists of a few houses, farms and a beautiful church of the early 18th century. The two parts of the Brekken, Oudegaaster Brekken and Vlakke Brekken, are separated by a constriction. It seems as if the meadows on either side of the water want to rejoin each other. In earlier centuries, people could reach out to each other; a narrow sand ridge ran between the water, a "fird," a transition, or ford. Hence the name Sandfirden. It can be walked and biked. Finally, beautiful sunsets can be admired.

    Ivonne and Jurre are wonderful hosts who certainly have one of the most beautiful homes in Friesland. We really enjoyed our week there and would love to come back.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    What a wonderful house with a truly large garden right on the water. Inside the house, you’ll be charmed by the many stylish pieces of furniture, paintings, and other lovingly selected accessories. From a practical standpoint, the house is very well equipped; for example, we were surprised to find that there were even fans. In the garden, you can peacefully observe nature, discover new perspectives by moving around, or simply play bocce. We were able to launch our kayaks right from the dock and go for a morning swim from the garden—it was wonderful! We rounded out our days at the house with trips to picturesque villages in the region and bike rides around the lake.

    Wonderful! Well worth the price. You can really unwind here.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    An incredibly charming and cozy vacation home. With plenty of space in and around the house. Located right on the water, with thick reed beds all around on that side, providing plenty of privacy. On the side of the garden, you can fish right from the dock. It’s so peaceful here—absolutely wonderful. A week of reading, fishing, barbecuing, and lounging in the hammock(s). Even though it wasn’t very warm (19 degrees), we spent the whole day outside. It was a bit windy, but you can find shelter from the wind everywhere—for example, right behind the reeds in the garden. You can rent boats from the neighbor, which is very convenient. All the windows have screens, so no mosquitoes inside. You can hear sheep and goats in the distance. And other than that, just silence. The cottage is very cozily furnished. From every room, you have beautiful views (without any distracting windmills). The master bedroom downstairs has French doors leading to a covered seating area where you can watch the sun rise over the meadows in the morning. The solar panels aren’t on the house but on the boathouse—which is nice.

    Hospitable welcome with explanation of peculiarities of the house

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This was a great place to unwind and enjoy The Frisian Lakes and nature. It was a warm welcome in a family home that carries history with it! Special was also the possibility to sail away directly from the house. In the little harbor adjacent to the house there are falcons for rent.
