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 little church from the early 18th century. The two parts of the Brekken—Oudegaaster Brekken and Vlakke Brekken—are separated by a narrow channel. It seems as though the meadows on either side of the water are trying to come together again. In centuries past, people could reach out and touch one another; there was a narrow sandbar running between the water—a “fird,” a crossing, or a ford. Hence the name Sandfirden. It’s a great place for walking and biking. Finally, you can admire beautiful sunsets here.

Overall, it was an exceptional experience; only the mosquitoes spoiled it a bit.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful vacation home. The location is truly exceptional—right on the lake and close to a nearby campground where you can rent sailboats.
The property is surrounded by trees and very private, with a large lawn offering plenty of wonderful spots to relax. We especially loved watching the sunrises and sunsets over the lake and relaxing in the hammocks.
The property borders a pasture with cows and goats. The animals are very calm and friendly, and you can interact with them if you’d like.
The hosts were absolutely lovely and gave us a very warm welcome, including a thoughtful welcome gift. Before we left, they even brought us some cake, and we had a lovely chat together. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more special.
One small tip: bring mosquito repellent, especially for evenings outside.

We had a wonderful week; the place is fantastic, especially when the weather is nice.
Wij hadden een heerlijke week, de plek is fantastisch, zeker met goed weer
The cottage is very distinctive and has plenty of charm—it’s not your run-of-the-mill kind of place. For vacationers who love luxury, it might be a bit too authentic, but if that’s not your thing, this cottage is fantastic.
Het huisje is zeer karakteristiek en heeft veel charme, geen 12 in een dozijn. Voor de vakantie ganger die van grote luxe houdt wellicht iets te authentiek maar als je daar wars van bent dan is dit huis fantastisch.

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.
Ivonne und Jurre sind hervorragende Gastgeber, die hier sicherlich eines der schönsten Häuser in Friesland haben. Wir haben die Woche sehr genossen und würden sehr gerne wiederkommen.
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.
Was für ein wundervolles Haus mit wirklich großem Garten direkt am Wasser. Im Haus wird man bezaubert durch die vielen stilvollen Möbel, Bilder und weitere liebevoll ausgesuchte Accessoires. Funktionell betrachtet ist das Haus sehr gut ausgestattet; wir waren beispielsweise überrascht, dass auch Ventilatoren da waren. Im Garten kann man in Ruhe die Natur beobachten, sich durch Platzwechsel immer neue Perspektiven eröffnen oder einfach Boule spielen. Wir konnten mit unseren Kajaks direkt vom Bootssteg aus starten und morgens vom Garten aus schwimmen; herrlich! Die Tage am Haus haben wir ergänzt durch Ausflüge zu sehenswerten Dörfern der Region und durch Radtouren um den See.
