Fenna July 25, 2025 General rating: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.
Nature, peace & environment: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.

Christel July 17, 2025 General rating:Fine contact with landlord, not seen "live" but everything via email. The cottage itself is fine in size, lovely light and everything I wanted was available. Good bed. I arrived and left in daylight, which I think is highly recommended. The street numbering even/even numbers are on the same side.
Prima contact met verhuurder, niet "live" gezien, maar alles via mail. Het huisje zelf is fijn qua formaat, heerlijk lichtinval en alles wat ik wenste was voorhanden. Goed bed. Ik ben in daglicht aangekomen en vertrokken, dat is denk ik wel een aanrader. De straatnummering even/oneven nummers zitten aan de zelfde zijde.
Nature, peace & environment:due to a training nearby booked this, only actually stayed overnight and walked a small tour around the cottage. It is beautifully situated in the middle of nature, very green, lots of water, various animals and not a human being seen. Pity though that planes fly over.
ivm een training in de buurt dit geboekt, alleen eigenlijk overnacht en een klein rondje gelopen rondom het huisje. Het ligt prachtig midden in de natuur, heel groen, veel water, diverse dieren en geen mens gezien. Wel jammer dat er vliegtuigen overvliegen.
