A coach house was built next to a large Frisian Stelp farmhouse dating from 1710. In 2022–2023, it was rebuilt and adapted to meet current standards. Through the side entrance door, you enter the living-dining room, where your attention is immediately drawn to the fantastic view of the meadows, with the Fluessen River and the village of Elahuizen in the distance. French doors lead out to the terrace. The living-dining room features a comfortable sitting area with a TV. The kitchen is equipped with various appliances. From the living room, you can access the two bedrooms, each approximately 16 m², both of which feature a double bed (1x 210x180 cm and 1x 200x180 cm) and a built-in closet. Through the hallway, you’ll reach the spacious bathroom and toilet. The bathroom is equipped with a vanity and a walk-in shower. All rooms are located on the ground floor. You can park your bicycle in the separate storage room (with a charging station) and your car right next to the Koetshuis, which you can reach via a driveway.

Nature and surroundings

From mid-April through October, sheep—the Frisian Zwarte Bles breed—graze in the farmyard. There’s plenty to do in the area around the nature house. It’s located near the Fluessen (2 km), the “it Swin” nature reserve (2 km), the Gaasterland forests (6 km), and the Gaasterland Golf Club (6 km). Sailing, swimming, hiking, biking, golf, etc. In Elahuizen, there’s a swimming beach (5 km) and a boat ramp (5 km) (free). Nearby, you’ll also find numerous charming historic Frisian towns and villages with lovely outdoor cafes and shops, such as Sloten, Stavoren, Hindelopen, Workum, Balk, and Woudsend. Enjoy the peace and space of the countryside, the clean air, and nature. Don’t forget the Skûtsjesilen (July), the 11Fountains of Friesland, and the various museums. In short, there’s plenty to do—or nothing at all.

    We received a warm welcome from the helpful owners, who had a slice of Frisian sugar bread waiting for us. The cottage was clean, nicely finished, with excellent beds, and fresh flowers from their own garden inside!!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The cottage has a fantastic view and is located in a quiet area. There are plenty of fun things to do in the area within biking distance!! There’s a great restaurant in Elahuizen!

    The friendly and hospitable owners, Joost and Engelien, have created a high quality finished cottage. Equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay! You have plenty of space in all rooms and areas. Comfortable furniture in the living room where you have a far view over the meadows. Good and spacious double beds in the bedrooms and a nice bathroom with a spacious shower. Really a place where you want to stay longer or come back again!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Ideal for peace seekers! (Especially when you escape the hustle and bustle of the New Year :-) Very quiet location with a wide unobstructed view from the large window. A short distance from the IJsselmeer and the cozy town of Stavoren. You can take long walks to and along the Water. The cottage is completely free with lots of privacy.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
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.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.

After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
