Welcome to our unique nature house, an authentic seesaw-water mill on the Merwede Canal. Sleeping in the mill is more than just an overnight stay; it is an experience that transports you to another time. What makes this mill so special is the combination of history and comfort. While you enjoy modern conveniences, such as a full kitchen (with Nespresso), luxury bathroom and cozy bedstead, you can feel the rich history in every corner of the mill. For us, the best thing about this cottage is the breathtaking view of the vast meadows and rippling water. You can completely relax here, hear the wind blowing through the sails and follow the rhythm of nature. Our miller Leen can be found regularly at the mill to put it to work, so you can experience the real mill experience. The cottage is suitable for 2 adults (in the bedstead of 195 cm) and 2 elementary school children (bedstead 130x170 cm).
Nature and surroundings
Our mill is located in the middle of the beautiful Alblasserwaard, the area with the most windmills in the Netherlands (with Kinderdijk in the backyard), a landscape full of green polders and meandering rivers, it doesn't get any more Dutch. For nature lovers, this is the perfect place. Crossing the road you will find an idyllic path along the little river the old Zederik that leads to the impressive nature reserve De Zouweboezem, where you can spot birds like the purple heron and the black tern. This area is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers looking for peace and quiet, and the National Park De Biesbosch is also a short drive away (about 25 kilometers). This is one of the largest freshwater tidal areas in Europe, and ideal for adventurous kayaking trips and beaver spotting. Furthermore, you can follow beautiful cycling routes along the Linge River or take a trip to the historic city of Gorinchem, 15 km away, for culture and terraces

The cottage is nice—charmingly old-fashioned but with a modern bathroom. Please note that the doorknobs are difficult to operate, so it’s less suitable for children or people with limited hand strength. None of the windows open.
Huisje is fijn, schattig ouderwets maar met een moderne badkamer. Let wel op dat de deurklinken zwaar te hanteren zijn dus minder geschikt voor kinderen of mensen met minder kracht in hun handen. Er kunnen geen ramen open.
Plenty of space and nature, with sweeping views of the meadows and clouds. As for peace and quiet, it was a bit lacking—we happened to be there at the same time as a parade in the nearby village, which caused quite a bit of noise. Fortunately, it only lasted a day. Right behind the windmill runs a walking/biking path that offers a view of the garden and the patio furniture.
Veel ruimte en natuur, een wijdse blik op de weilanden en wolkenvelden. Qua rust was het iets minder, we waren er toevallig op een moment dat er ook een optocht gaande was in het nabije dorp, dat zorgde wel voor veel geluidsoverlast. Gelukkig duurde het maar een dag. Vlak achter de molen loop een wandel/fietspad die inkijk heeft op de tuin en het tuinmeubilair.

We had a great time—or as people from Westland say, it was absolutely fantastic.
We hebben genoten, of zoals Westlanders zeggen, het is helemaal goud.
Absolutely awesome
Helemaal toppie
