Nature house in Vinkeveen
Utrecht, Netherlands
- 5 persons

Charming nature house, located on a beautiful and sunny corner island. The house has a double bed, a double (fold-out) sofa bed, and a large daybed. Base rate = 4 people. A small tent can be set up upon request. Basic “off-grid” facilities, but all necessary amenities (kitchenette with appliances, hot shower, drinking water) are provided. A 7-person Whaly motorboat can be booked as an extra for €90 per day. Here you’ll find a beautiful, unobstructed view of the lake on three sides, and stunning sunrises and sunsets. There is a (lockable) indoor terrace, a spacious lawn, a large dock with a swimming ladder, lounge chairs, and a picnic table, and a sunken, shallow underwater plateau. Ideal for fishing and swimming in the exceptionally clean and clear water. The sheltered and cozy outdoor terrace features a wood-fired hot tub that seats 5 people, a BBQ, a fire pit, and patio furniture. All in all, a true little island paradise where you can relax to your heart’s content.
Nature and surroundings
The corner island is a 12-minute boat ride from the mainland. The owner will pick you up by boat and bring you back after your stay. Explore the rich natural beauty of the Vinkeveense Plassen and the adjacent “De Botshol” nature reserve by boat—where you can also enjoy beautiful walks. To go on excursions, you can rent a boat or use one or more (subject to availability) of the 3-person Canadian canoes for free. You’ll find outdoor cafes and restaurants at various spots along the Vinkeveense Plassen. There’s also a ring of expansive, publicly accessible islands around the main lake, featuring shallow waters, white sandy beaches, and picnic areas. Some of these islands have facilities where (young) children can safely splash around, play (there’s playground equipment), and catch small fish and crayfish with a net. The rental company can provide you with all the necessary information (in advance). You can also book a guided boat tour of the lakes through the rental agency.

It's amazing to wake up to a view like that or watch the last rays of the sun from the hot tub—it doesn't get much better than that!
Grandioos, zo’n uitzicht met wakker worden of de laatste zonnestralen van de dag bekijken uit de hottub, veel beter gaat het niet worden!
When you look at the photos, you’ll see exactly what you’re getting—a simple cottage surrounded by beautiful nature! The cottage is fully equipped, and there’s plenty to see in the area, all of which is accessible by boat.
Plus, if anything was missing or there was a problem, the hosts were ready to help you out right away. We enjoyed every minute of it!Als je naar de foto’s kijkt zie je wat je krijgt, je gaat terug naar een basis huisje met de omgeving de prachtige natuur! het huisje is van alles voorzien, omgeving is veel te zien en overal te bereiken middels de boot.
Daarnaast als er iets mistte of dergelijks staan de verhuurders paraat om je snel te helpen. Van alles genoten !This text is automatically translated. -

It was top notch.
Het was top.
We were four men in this cottage and thoroughly enjoyed this place in the middle of nature. An island surrounded by greenery and of course water. Special to wake up there with possibly a nice dip in the crystal clear water. The cottage itself and the facilities are also completely fine. Highly recommended if you want to unwind.
Wij zaten met vier mannen in dit huisje en hebben volop genoten van deze plek midden in de natuur. Een eiland met rondom veel groen en uiteraard water. Bijzonder om daar wakker te worden met evt een lekkere duik in het kristalheldere water. Het huisje zelf en de voorzieningen zijn ook helemaal prima. Een aanrader voor als je tot rust wil komen.
