9.5/10
5/5

A special and sustainable vacation spot on the beautiful island of Terschelling. Where you can recharge, discharge and enjoy vitamin sea with friends and family. Team V Architecture designed the house to fit the cultural-historical context of the Wadden Island, lasting and special. The interior was conceived by designers Kranen/Gille, playful and handmade. Large windows and glass windows offer lots of light and beautiful vistas. The house is tucked away in a green, sheltered garden and largely off the grid. We use filtered rainwater for shower, toilet and watering and have solar panels and a Powerbox battery to meet our energy needs. The house was built in 2024 on the edge of the lively village of Hoorn with a few practical stores and cozy and good restaurants. Next to the house is the beautiful church of Hoorn, the oldest building on the island. The bus stops in the Dorpsstraat near the church so it is easy to reach even without a car or bike.

Nature and surroundings

Simmerhûs is located on the outskirts of the village of Hoorn next to a large nature reserve. In a few minutes walk you are at the beautiful dune area the Koegelwieck and the atmospheric Hoorn forest. Full of hiking trails and historic bunkers. At 2 km walking or cycling from Simmerhûs is the most beautiful North Sea beach of Terschelling with the cozy beach club Kaap Hoorn. On the other side of the village you can walk or bike to the Wadden Sea with impressive views of this Unesco World Heritage Site. Horseback riding in the woods, the dunes or on the beach is possible at Terpstra in Hoorn. Our garden offers lots of privacy and several nice places to enjoy the sun or the shade. At the large table with 8 chairs you can have a nice meal, on the lounge sofa chill in the afternoon sun. There is a hammock and around the outdoor fireplace you can sit sheltered until the late hours. The large outdoor shower is fed by filtered rainwater, cold and hot for summer, spring and autumn.

    Clean, tidy, good and nice sleeping places and necessary material (for example in the kitchen) all present. An extra chair instead of beanbag could perhaps be an addition to the sitting area. No further comments.

    Fantastic cottage, beautiful and quiet located against the old church of Hoorn. By bike you are within 10 minutes on the beach and you can easily cycle to the Boschplaat where you can go hiking. A supermarket is also within cycling distance.

    What an incredibly special residence! The Simmerhûs is really beautifully designed - everything is right down to the smallest details. The architecture is modern and at the same time warm, with a subtle arctic atmosphere that totally suits the peace and space of the surroundings. The location is perfect: in the middle of nature, overlooking the forest and the dunes, and the beach is within walking or biking distance. From the cottage you can enjoy hiking, biking or bird watching. And yet you are also close to a pleasant village with fine facilities and a rich history - even a beautiful old church and monuments nearby. The silence, nature and the atmosphere make this cottage a place where you can really unwind. Everything breathes quality and attention. A place that is actually so special that you would prefer to keep it to yourself In short: an unforgettable stay in breathtaking surroundings. A true gem!

    A basic supply in the kitchen would be nice, for cyclists from the boat. Or indicate well in advance what needs to be brought along. This was easy to communicate with the owner.

    What a beautifully designed and built house. The craftsmanship radiates from it. Also furnished with care. With 5 adults, the seating area is perhaps a bit tight, but otherwise enough space to sit in the sun or eat together / play games.
