Welcome to our charming nature house, located in picturesque Giethoorn, right on the village canal yet in a quiet setting… including air conditioning… It doesn’t get any more romantic than this: the sounds of birds, geese flying overhead, ducks and swans in the canal—and with a little luck and patience, you might even catch a glimpse of a kingfisher darting by across the canal. This authentic cottage offers the ideal combination of tranquility, nature, and comfort. You have a direct view of the canal from both the living room and your bed. Layout: Downstairs is the cozy sitting/dining area and a small kitchen equipped with a Nespresso machine, electric kettle, egg cooker, fridge-freezer, and a Siemens combination microwave with extensive cooking functions. Bathroom with toilet. Hair dryer provided. Upstairs, you’ll find a comfortable double bed. The cottage is heated and cooled by air conditioning and has excellent Wi-Fi. Outside on the porch, there’s a cozy seating area with a view of the sunrise and sunset, the garden, the canal, and the meadows.
Nature and surroundings
The cottage is located in the heart of the “Weerribben-Wieden” National Park. If you’re coming by car, park at P2; from there, it’s a 500-meter walk or a short bike ride. We have a shed with a charging station for your e-bikes. You can also get here by train or bus; the bus stop is 500 meters away. The walking path is easy to navigate, and you’ll cross one bridge. Once you’ve settled in, it’s a 10- to 15-minute walk to the village center, with its cozy restaurants and charming shops. Even in the summer, when Giethoorn can get busy and hectic on some days, you won’t notice any of that here… The area is also known for its beautiful lake region, perfect for water sports enthusiasts, and its many biking and hiking trails. Discover charming towns like Meppel and Steenwijk, and don’t forget the Zuiderzee towns such as Blokzijl and Vollenhove. The forests of Overijssel and Drenthe are about a 15- to 20-minute drive away. In short, welcome—come experience Giethoorn from our cozy cottage!

For me alone, it's a nice, cozy little house.
Voor mij alleen is het een fijn en gezellig huisje.
A lovely little cottage—cozy, well-maintained, in a beautiful setting—and the weather was a real treat.
Fijn huisje, gezellig, verzorgd, mooie omgeving en het weer was een cadeautje

Very neat and clean. The hosts were very nice. We were able to check into the cottage early on Friday and were even allowed to check out later than 11:00 a.m. that morning because it was raining so heavily.
You can’t park your car right next to the cottage, but it’s an easy walk. Especially with bikes, which you can store in their shed. The cottage is very small, though, and doesn’t have a stovetop. However, there are plenty of great places to eat in the immediate area. Coffee and tea-making facilities are provided, and there was even a bottle of juice waiting in the fridge.
It was really nice that Josephine mentioned right after we booked that it could get very crowded on Saturday due to the annual gondola parade, so we still had the option to cancel. The crowds weren’t as bad as we’d expected, since the cottage wasn’t right in the center of town, and it was incredibly fun to watch the preparations for the gondola parade and, of course, the parade itself. We really enjoyed our stay.Heel netjes en schoon. Gastheer en gastvrouw erg aardig. We konden op vrijdag eerder in het huisje en hadden zelfs zo.ochtend later dan 11.00 uur mogen vertrekken, omdat het zo enorm regende.
Je kunt met de auto niet bij het huisje parkeren, maar loopafstand is prima te doen. Zeker met fietsen, die je bij hen in de schuur mag zetten. Het huisje is wel heel klein en heeft geen kookplaat. In de directe omgeving kun je echter prima eten. Koffie- en theefaciliteiten zijn er wel en zelfs een fles sap stond klaar in de koelkast.
Heel fijn was, dat Josephine direct na de boeking aangaf, dat het op zaterdag erg druk kon zijn met de jaarlijkse gondelvaart op zaterdag, zodat je nog kon annuleren. Met de drukte viel het erg mee, omdat het huisje niet midden in het centrum lag en het was ontzettend leuk om de voorbereidingen van de gondelvaart te zien en natuurlijk de gondelvaart op zich. We hebben erg genoten.Extremely quiet; even with the scheduled gondola ride on Saturday, Aug. 29.
Enorm rustig; zelfs met de geplande gondelvaart op zaterdag 29 aug.
