On the edge of the Pikmar lies this cottage: an authentic wooden summer house built in 1934, attractively decorated and completely detached. You will stay in a cozy, bright house overlooking the water. Wooden walls, simple details and the original layout give Iris a warm, nostalgic character. You reach the cottage on foot via the summer polder or by boat. Inside is a nice living room with waterfront windows, a compact kitchenette and a pleasant sleeping area. Simple, but complete - just enough to slow down. Outside, you sit on your waterfront terrace, with the freedom of your own headland. You hear birds, the reeds and sometimes see a deer in the meadows. Iris is a place where time seems to stand still for a moment: for reading, boating, swimming, walking or just nothing. A small paradise for peace seekers and nature lovers.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is located on De Burd, a green and watery island area south of Grou. The Pikmar lies between Grou and De Burd and is the entrance to the Frisian lake district. You are staying here in the middle of National Park De Alde Feanen, surrounded by reed beds, meadows and open water. From the cottage you can walk straight into nature or step into a (rental) boat to explore the Pikmar and the canals and lakes around it. Many bird species live in the area, such as reed warblers, coots and common terns. Count on wide views, beautiful sunsets and plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming, hiking and cycling. Grou is nearby for shopping and cozy restaurants - but on De Burd prevails above all: silence, space and nature.

Communication with landlord is fast and friendly.
De communicatie met verhuurder is snel en vriendelijk.
Highly recommended, this cottage. The view is wonderful with beautiful sunsets. Regularly we saw a deer jumping through the meadows of this nature reserve. The meadows are full of cattle and horses, the whole area is proudly maintained. The cottage has everything you need and is of good quality, old-fashioned simple but effective. It has a nice atmosphere. The wifi is very good.
Een aanrader, dit huisje. Het uitzicht is wonderschoon met prachtige zonsondergangen. Regelmatig zagen we een hert door de weilanden van dit natuurgebied springen. De weides staan vol vee en paarden, de hele omgeving wordt trots onderhouden.
Het huisje heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en is van goede kwaliteit, ouderwets eenvoudig maar doeltreffend. Het heeft een fijne sfeer. De wifi is heel goed.This text is automatically translated. -

Everything I expected from it.
Alles wat ik ervan verwachtte.
The look of yesteryear so beautifully preserved with modern conveniences, the location with boat jetties and no car out front contribute to what for me is a perfect vacation feeling. You imagine yourself on a desert island, and yet close to amenities.
De uitstraling van vroeger die zo mooi behouden is met moderne gemakken, de ligging met bootsteigers en geen auto voor deur dragen bij aan een voor mij perfect vakantiegevoel. Je waant je op een onbewoond eiland, en toch dichtbij voorzieningen.
