Kortenhoef was beautiful, and the surrounding areas were as well. For a more detailed description of the nature house itself, see above.
Kortenhoef was mooi en de verdere omgeving. Verdere beschrijving over natuurhuisje zelf zie hierboven.
The large studio was fine, but unfortunately, the outside area was a mess. The deck boards were broken, and the walking paths were overgrown, so you couldn’t really enjoy a nice walk through the countryside. There were things scattered all over the place around the studio. You could barely get to the canoes that were available for rent, and the shed with the life jackets was a cluttered mess—you couldn’t even reach the life jackets.
De grote studio was prima maar helaas was het buiten een rommeltje. Vlonders waren stuk, wandelpaden dichtbegroeid waardoor je niet de mogelijkheid had om leuk over het land te wandelen. Spullen rondslingerend om de studio. Kano die je kon huren, kon je amper bij en hok met zwemvesten was een rommelhok, je kon niet eens bij de zwemvesten.

Clean and cozy cottage. Homemade bread in the morning and a cup of coffee on the fine terrace. Good location to discover the loosdrecht lakes and surroundings. Marieke is also very hospitable and nice that the location has an artistic touch through her studio which inspires.
Schoon en sfeervol huisje. Zelfgebakken broodjes in de ochtend en een kopje koffie op het fijne terras. Goede locatie om de loosdrechtse plassen en omgeving te ontdekken. Marieke is ook erg gastvrij en leuk dat de locatie door haar atelier een kunstzinnig tintje heeft wat inspireert.
Lovely to hear the birds and see greenery everywhere from the studio terrace. You have a view of the water in which you can slide the rented canoe in no time. So you can discover the area from the water, but also plenty of hiking and biking routes nearby. You can hear the highway sometimes more and sometimes less. This did not bother us so much because of the wind through the trees, the bird sounds and the charm of the location.
Heerlijk om de vogeltjes te horen en overal groen te zien vanaf het terras van de studio. Je hebt zicht op het water waarin je de gehuurde kano in een mum van tijd in kan laten glijden. Zo kan je de omgeving vanaf het water ontdekken, maar ook voldoende wandel en fietsroutes in de buurt. Je hoort de autoweg soms in meer en soms in mindere mate. Ons stoorde dat niet zo vanwege de wind door de bomen, de vogelgeluiden en de charme van de locatie.
