And now really nothing for a while... No TV and no wifi. But still "connected. With your company, with the environment, with nature. In this simple nature house, in the Green Heart of the Krimpenerwaard, you can fully experience nature. Enjoy light, air and space 30 minutes from Rotterdam. In this Tiny house (45 m2), cooking, dining and sitting areas flow smoothly into one another. French doors lead to the terrace with a canopy, from where you overlook the (swimming) water and meadows. Downstairs are a separate toilet and a bathroom with sink and shower. The bedroom on the ground floor has a double bed. On the second floor is a sleeping loft with four single beds. Should you come with a larger party, it is possible; there is another cottage on the property, where there is a large sleeping loft with 6 single beds... On the adjacent land, the owner grows vegetables and fruit ecologically. In consultation, the harvest is available (for a fee).

Nature and surroundings

In the Middle Ages the reclamation of the Krimpenerwaard began, resulting in the largest stroke landscape in existence with long, narrow plots and a total of 3000 kilometers of ditches! The cottage is located at the former natural ice rink of Berkenwoude and from that swimming water you can take a boat, canoe or supboard all over the polder. At the end of the day you can gaze out over the water from the bench and see the great egrets landing in one of the trees along the water. Would you rather explore the polder by bike or on foot? Create your own route using the junction system and discover the beauty of Krimpenerwaard. Along the way you can rest at various rest and catering points, and at the stalls along the way you can buy all kinds of regional products. The extensive hiking area Het Loetbos is only a seven-minute drive away. The water around the cottage is private fishing water: with a fishing pass from the owner, you can feel free to cast your rod here.

    I celebrated my birthday. The nature houses were the perfect place to celebrate an autumnal weekend with friends and family. Outside beautiful. Inside very cozy and well equipped. Geert was very helpful, gave lots of extra tips. Upon arrival there were flags hanging and the heaters were already on.

    See above. Everything good except "four bedrooms."

    Fantastic place, beautiful surroundings. Fine simple cottages. Nice porch with a view. BBQ is also fire pit, very cozy. Good beds with mosquito nets. "Four bedrooms" we did not find it: there was 1 full bedroom and a dormitory (see photo). The other two bedrooms were open, so less suitable for 4 couples.

    Very friendly reception by the tenant. A beautiful waterfront environment. Fine roads to nature areas but also to the hustle and bustle and amenities of the city. The two cottages were fully equipped. Kit very complete.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
Selection of activities
After each stay, we invite our guests to rate the nature house, the surroundings, and specific activities. An activity is only shown at a nature house if it meets two conditions: at least 20 unique reviews have been given, and at least 60% of guests gave a score of ‘amazing’ (3/4) or ‘wow’ (4/4).
