Between Haarlem and Amsterdam on the canal that connects these two cities is a hidden house in a field. The field has been reforested for four years and a food forest is in the works. The house is bright and has a wood stove (and infrared panels), a glass area, an indoor area with a large 2p box bed (bedroom 1) and bathroom and on the half-open loft are two extra beds (small bedroom 2; fairly steep stairs; see photo) The house is quiet and relaxing.Nb: wifi not great
Nature and surroundings
City, country and beach! Haarlem is 4 minutes away by car. From behind the house you can rent a boat to sail to the open water (De Mooie Nel) for swimming or sail to Haarlem in 1.5 hours. It is 4 minutes drive to Haarlem (3km) 20 minutes drive to the beach (Bloemendaal is 12 km). In the dunes it is magical around sunset.In the garden (2 acres) there are several places to sit outside.There are many birds , a hare and sometimes the neighbors' sheep keep an eye on you from the other side of the moat. To Amsterdam is 20 minutes away (10 minutes by car to Halfweg and 10 minutes by train to central station). The village has a restaurant and stores, and in summer vegetables and herbs from the garden are available. If you love nature and city combined then you are in the right place!

Diana July 27, 2024 General rating:There is a good bed, the shower is nice and there is a small induction stove that you can cook some food on.The garden is nice and you can sit outside when the weather is nice.What there is not is wifi, which in itself may not be a problem, but I would have liked to have known that before booking this Nature House because I had booked this house as a working vacation and needed wifi for that anyway.There were also some other practical things missing, which skewed the value for money of the stay as far as I was concerned.
Er is een goed bed, de douche is fijn en er is een klein inductieplaatje waar je wat eten op kan klaarmaken.
De tuin is mooi en je kunt lekker buiten zitten als het mooi weer is.
Wat er niet is is wifi, dat is op zich misschien niet erg, maar dat had ik graag voor het boeken van dit Natuurhuisje geweten omdat ik dit huisje als werkvakantie had geboekt en daar toch wel wifi voor nodig had.
Ook misten er een aantal andere praktische dingen, die de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding van het verblijf wat mij betreft scheef trok.Nature, peace & environment:It is a rather simple, but nicely decorated cottage where you can spend a few days, especially in nice weather. It is not very quiet because it is near the runway of Schiphol Airport, and there is someone in the neighborhood who is crazy about her karaoke machine (daily concert during the week I was there), but can not sing very well. The garden is beautiful and large! The chickens, the rooster and the cat on three legs, cozily scurry in and around the cottage and also the hare occasionally shows itself.
Het is een vrij eenvoudig, maar mooi ingericht huisje waar je prima een paar dagen goed kan vertoeven, zeker bij mooi weer.
Heel stil is het er niet omdat het vlakbij de start en landingsbaan van Schiphol ligt, en er iemand in de buurt is die gek is op haar karaoke apparaat (dagelijks concert in de week dat ik er was), maar niet heel goed kan zingen.
De tuin is mooi en groot!
De kippetjes, de haan en de kat op drie pootjes, scharrelen gezellig in en rond het huisje en ook de haas laat zich af en toe zien.This text is automatically translated. -
