A charming, detached, and comfortable cottage in a small-scale park, located on the water with a swimming dock, a children’s beach, and a dinghy dock right by the cottage (a 10-meter walk). This cottage is particularly well-suited for families with (young) children, but it’s also great for a group of 5 adults. The garden and grounds surrounding the house (700 m²) are perfect for relaxing and playing. Outside, you’ll find a lounge sofa, a fireplace, a BBQ, and a large dining table. Beautiful, bright living room with a view of the water and an open kitchen. Downstairs, there is a double bedroom with its own shower and sink, as well as a separate toilet. Upstairs, there is a spacious bedroom with three single beds and a separate bathroom with a shower and toilet. Bedding and towels are provided. The house features modern amenities (built in 2022). A washer and dryer are available. Two parking spaces are available at the house.

We had a pleasant stay; the cottage was beautifully finished.
Prettig verblijf gehad, mooi afgewerkt huisje.
The view from the living room and the fire in the fireplace are very soothing
Heel rustgevend het uitzicht vanaf de woonkamer en het haardvuur

Highly recommended.
Een echte aanrader.
A wonderful stay at the nature house in Elahuizen: literally right on the water, so the location couldn’t have been better. The house is spacious and fully equipped. The kitchen is well-equipped, and you can easily cook a meal for a family there. It was clean, the beds were made, and kitchen linens and bath towels were provided. In the morning, mist hovers over the water, and in the evening, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Een heerlijk verblijf in het natuurhuisje in Elahuizen: letterlijk aan het water, dus de locatie kon niet beter. Het huis is ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. De keuken is goed uitgerust en je kunt er gerust een maaltijd koken voor een gezin. Het was schoon, de bedden opgemaakt en er was gezorgd voor keukenlinnen en badhanddoeken. 's morgens hangt de nevel boven het water en 's avonds geniet je van een mooie zonsondergang.

Het Uitzicht is a stylish, modern new building with good insulation, a solar panel system, and a ventilation system. The gas fireplace kept us warm on a few stormy, rainy days and created a cozy atmosphere. As a result, we didn’t need to use the heating. The house is located between the lakeshore and wet meadows, so there are many spiders and insects. It’s great that all the windows and the patio door are equipped with mosquito screens.
Het Uitzicht ist ein schicker moderner Neubau mit guter Dämmung, Photovoltaikanlage und Lüftungsanlage. Der Gaskamin hat uns an einigen stürmischen Regentagen gewärmt und eine gemütliche Atmosphäre geschaffen. Die Heizung brauchten wir daher nicht benutzen. Das Haus liegt zwischen Seeufer und Feuchtwiesen und daher gibt es viele Spinnen und Insekten. Sehr schön, dass alle Fenster und die Terrassentür mit Mückengittern versehen sind.
Since we were there in September, not many of the houses were occupied. As a result, it was very quiet. There was a bit more activity on the weekends, but that didn’t bother us. The garden surrounds the house. There are several trees and hedges made up of native shrubs. The garden opens up toward the lake and transitions into the communal area with a swimming dock and boat ramp.
Da wir im September dort waren, waren nicht viele Häuser bewohnt. Daher war es sehr ruhig. Nur am Wochenende war etwas mehr Betrieb, aber das hat nicht gestört. Der Garten geht rund um das Haus. Es gibt einige Bäume und Hecken mit heimischen Gehölzen. Zur Seeseite ist der Garten offen und geht über in den gemeinschaftlichen Bereich mit Badesteg und Slipanlage.
