Nature and surroundings

The corner island is 12 minutes by boat from the mainland. The landlord will pick you up by boat and bring you back after your stay. Discover by boat the rich nature of the Vinkeveen lakes and the adjacent nature reserve 'de Botshol', where you can also make beautiful walks. To make trips you can rent a boat or use one or more (if available) of the 3 person Canadian canoes for free. At various places on the Vinkeveense plassen you will find terraces and restaurants. There is also a ring of extensive publicly accessible islands around the main lake with shallow water, white sand beaches and picnic areas. Some of these have facilities where (small) children can safely bathe, play (there is playground equipment) and catch fish and lobsters with a net. Landlords can inform you (in advance) about everything. You can also book a guided boat tour of the lakes from lessor.

    It was top notch.

    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.

    We had a wonderful weekend in this cottage on the Vinkeveen Lakes. The location is truly unique: right on the water, with beautiful views and the ability to swim, fish or take a boat right away. The cottage itself was clean, cozy and fully equipped - just what you need to unwind. The host/hostess was very friendly and helpful, and communication was smooth. The area is also a must: beautiful nature, cozy terraces on the water and plenty of opportunities to sail or explore the lake by canoe. In short, a perfect place for a relaxing vacation with family, friends or just together. We will definitely come back here again!

    The island feeling is wonderful. Like being in a different time zone. That said, it is kind of a tourist trap. Basic price is already quite high. But on top of that there are a lot of costs. As much as 85 euros for the hot tub. Which is filled with water from the lake. And if that's not enough we got an after bill of 84 euros for the 4 bags of wood with which we had fired the hot tub. So you have to pay 85 euros for the use, then you should expect to be allowed to heat it as well. The cottage was quite decayed and very damp/musty. The bed linen a 50 eu for 2 people you should not expect too much of it either. For carp fishing not ideal. Huge weed beds in front of the jetty make it very difficult. Other parts of the lake were more suitable according to enforcement we talked to. 3 nights.... no carp. Response from landlord: This review is unjustified; during the stay the guest indicated that everything was Top! After the deposit, when wood consumption was rightly charged (info on rates are clearly stated in the ad and e.e.a. was also clearly discussed in the telephone conversation with the guest), everything was suddenly negative. This guest was even allowed to come earlier and the last day 5 hours longer to stay (free), partly why this reaction for me not understand....

    On busy boating route. The boating route around the lake is in front of the cottage. So every minute a boat passing right in front of the shore
