Nature and surroundings

The estate consists of 5 hectares of protected nature reserve of (quaking) peat, broekbos, marshes and zod. The sleeping studio is located directly on the water that opens onto the Kortenhoef lakes on one side and the Hilversum Canal on the other. Wander through nature on the estate and encounter wild deer or a fox. Enjoy the many birds such as the buzzard, swallow, heron, stork, warbler and, if you are lucky, the kingfisher. Take a canoe and explore the Kortenhoefse plassen, where it is also good swimming. Walk along the Oppad to the estates of 's Gravenland or visit the many cozy catering establishments nearby.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
