Our farmhouse is a nationally designated historic monument dating from 1832, located on the southern side of the village canal in the authentic village of Giethoorn. In 2022, we modernized the farmhouse and converted the former barn into a guesthouse. This charming guesthouse features a private entrance, a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. On the open-concept loft, there is sleeping space for two people. Our nature house is accessible only via a walking and biking path or by boat and is about a 2.5-minute walk from the parking area. There is one distinctive bridge between the parking lot and the nature house. For this reason, it may be less suitable for people with limited mobility. Electric vehicle charging is available at the parking lot. The kitchen is fully equipped. All kinds of cooking and kitchen supplies are provided. The beds are made. Towels are provided. There is a launch site by the water for SUP, canoe, and kayak. The private garden is fenced off for small children.

Nature and surroundings

After enjoying a delicious breakfast in the garden, you’ll set out to explore Giethoorn. The best way to do that is by water. There are several options for doing so, and rentals are just a few minutes’ walk away. You’ll explore the narrow canals and meadows dotted with centuries-old farmhouses. Then head out to the lakes, reed beds, and swamp forests in the heart of the great outdoors. Fishing is very popular in the area. It’s also lovely to take a walk through the meadows, and if you look closely, you’ll often spot roe deer. Are you staying in the region a little longer? Then Giethoorn is the ideal base from which to explore De Weerribben-Wieden National Park. Or visit some of the nearby villages and towns. Especially during the summer season, there are plenty of events in the area, and even off-season there’s plenty to do and discover in the region. Head to Steenwijk or Meppel for a fun day of shopping and soaking up some culture—both are easily accessible by bike. Or discover the charming towns of Blokzijl and Oldemarkt and enjoy a wonderful day out there.

    The location of the accommodation is great—surrounded by greenery, and close to downtown.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderful midweek getaway! The place is very clean and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed. The owners are super friendly and helpful—they even helped us with a flat rear tire on our bike.

    A beautifully decorated and clean cottage where you can enjoy a comfortable stay. Since it’s located at the back of the farmhouse, you won’t be bothered by the hustle and bustle along the village canal. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful and will make sure your stay is very pleasant.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Giethoorn can get very crowded, but you hardly notice it at the back of the farmhouse. The front faces the Dorpsgracht, creating an idyllic scene.

You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
