Pets not allowed
Tucked away on a private section of the 3-hectare property, hidden from view, are a luxury yurt and a greenhouse. Both are heated by wood stoves, and free firewood is provided. In the yurt, you’ll feel enveloped and can completely unwind on a comfortable bed. In the adjoining greenhouse, you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of the Beemster polder. Here, you can daydream in a comfortable chair, cook a meal on an electric stove, light the little stove, or write at the table. You’ll have access to your own (dry) toilet and an outdoor shower (cold!). You can also cook some soup outside over the fire and, feeling content, lie in the hammock and gaze at the stars. The sauna a little further down the property is available for use (shared with other guests). Come and completely disconnect from the world; this part of the country is completely private and feels like an island amidst the vastness of the polder landscape. Set your phone and shoes aside and experience what that alone can do for you.
Nature and surroundings
Grootschermer is situated in a quintessentially Dutch polder landscape. Along a winding dike lined with reed beds, windmills, and sweeping views. It’s still old-fashioned, open, and spacious here, and the people are friendly and laid-back. Small villages are scattered throughout the landscape on both sides, as is the UNESCO Beemster Heritage Site. Beautiful walking, biking, and motorcycle routes make your stay a wonderful experience. You can also reach the dunes or the beach within half an hour by car.

A charming spot with plenty of privacy.
The yurt, greenhouse, outdoor shower (cold), and restroom are all very nice, and the surrounding garden is very pleasant. It’s a wonderful place to stay. You’re nestled among the farmlands. Within 20 minutes by car, you’ll find yourself in a beautiful dune area. Alkmaar is also a nice little town, just a 5-minute drive away, or you could bike there.charmant plekje met lekker veel privacy.
Yurt, kas en de buitendouche (koud) en wc zijn erg fijn en de tuin eromheen erg aangenaam. heel fijn verblijven hier. Je zit tussen de weilanden van de agrarische sector. Binnen 20 minuten zit je met de auto in prachtig duingebied. Alkmaar is ook leuk plaatsje, 5 min met de auto, of zou je heen kunnen fietsen.Really nice setup. It's very comfortable to sleep and stay here.
Super leuke set up. Heel fijn slapen en verblijven
