Escape the city without giving it up. Our private wooden cottage is located in 't Groene Hart - rural, quiet and among the polders - and yet you can be in Amsterdam in 15 minutes and in Utrecht in 10 minutes. Wake up overlooking the meadows, bike through the polders and come back to your own quiet place in the evening. The cottage is completely private with its own entrance - you don't share space with us. Inside you'll find a comfortable bedroom for two to four guests, a full bathroom with rain shower, a kitchen for breakfast and light meals, air conditioning and warm wooden furnishings. Outside is a private garden with barbecue and seating area for sunny evenings, ideal for couples, friends and small families who want to escape the hustle and bustle without a long commute. Whether you are exploring Amsterdam, Utrecht, the Loosdrechtse Plassen area or the windmills of Kinderdijk - with us you will unwind in the evening.

Nature and surroundings

In the middle of the Green Heart, peace and quiet and space begin literally on your doorstep - ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. Nearby is the Botshol silence area, a unique marsh and lake landscape where you only hear water birds and wind. The Wilnisse Bovenlanden offer the Bethlehem route (6 km), a varied round trip through old peat landscape. The footpath through the Demmerikse Polder leads through a meadow bird reserve full of godwits, lapwings and redshanks. If you want to experience the area from the water, rent an electric boat or canoe and sail through De Ronde Venen. For culture, the Vechtstreek Museum is a must; for views, climb the tower at Pavilion "De Grote Sniep" - on clear days you can see deep into the polder.

    Points of improvement for finishing the cottage and price ratio is too high. Sofa bed too big in living room if you would come with 4 people. Also too small for 4 people. For couples fine. If it would include breakfast it came already more close to the price / quality ratio.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Rest nature and space completely satisfies. Sat in the sun for a long time and enjoyed the birds.

    Sleeping was good. The sofa bed does require an extra mattress. In less nice weather, a manual for TV, Ipad, music box and Nespresso machine is very nice. We could not choose channels now. It was not clear if you have to separate waste. That seems appropriate for a nature house.A welcome pack with tea bags, sugar, coffee milk.The tea egg for loose tea does not close.Nice decor. I do miss the "finishing touch" for atmosphere. Colorful painting/wall hangings or bouquet o.i.d. Then the grade becomes an 8

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    So in between the big cities, this is a lovely quiet place with beautiful views over the countryside. Unfortunately, there is little space to enjoy this landscape outside. The path along the water is private property. There is, however, a small seating area where you can look out over the land nicely. Tip: fill the window boxes with new flowers.

    Warm welcome and received a nice explanation of the cottage. Because of the price I had higher expectations which unfortunately were not met. For a group of 3 / 4 people, I would not recommend this cottage; the sofa bed is really annoying and the window by the toilet is also a bit vague. It is fine for two people, but not for this price.

    Nature, peace & environment: 2 /5

    I found the cottage very noisy. We were also occasionally bothered by the barking/beeping dog. The surroundings are nice and green, but it is not that you walk straight into nature from the cottage. Also, because of the picture I had a slightly different idea, I thought the grass belonged to the cottage, but only the gravel is accessible. As a result, you cannot sit outside very nicely.
