You can also easily bike to the Zaanse Schans, the Beemster, and the Zaan region.

A lovely, modern cottage equipped with all the amenities. Even inside, you feel like you’re right in the middle of nature. It’s easy to row there; you can dock at the playground and carry your belongings to and from the car from there. The only time you have to row a bit is when picking up a rowboat—you’ll need to row around the bend, which takes about 10 minutes. The trip back and forth adds to the experience of getting completely away from it all, so I highly recommend it!
Heerlijk modern huisje wat van alle gemakken is voorzien. Ook binnen heb je het gevoel middenin de natuur te zitten. Het is makkelijk om erheen te roeien, je kunt aanleggen bij het speeltuintje en vanaf daar spullen van en naar de auto brengen. Alleen bij het ophalen van een roeiboot moet je even de bocht om roeien, dat duurt ongeveer 10 minuten. Het heen en weer varen draagt bij aan de ervaring even helemaal weg te zijn, een aanrader dus!
Staying on the island in Jisp was a truly special experience. The cottage is absolutely wonderful—it has everything you could possibly need, and the view is truly phenomenal. I’ve never seen such beautiful sunrises. There are lots of birds in the area, and it’s wonderful to head out onto the water in a small boat with binoculars. There is some activity in the area—there are several cottages on the island, and you can occasionally hear sounds of farm work. But these aren’t disruptive, and especially in the evening, a deep sense of peace and quiet settles over the area, where you hear nothing but the wind and the birds. Also, don’t be surprised if, every now and then, a cow peeks in curiously from the little island just behind the cottage.
Het was een heel bijzondere ervaring om op het eiland in Jisp te verblijven. Het huisje is echt geweldig, het heeft alles wat je nodig kunt hebben en het uitzicht is werkelijk fenomenaal. Ik heb nog nooit zulke mooie zonsopgangen gezien. Er zitten veel vogels in het gebied en het is geweldig om er met een bootje en een verrekijker het water op te gaan. Er is wel bedrijvigheid in de ingeving, er staan meerdere huisjes op het eiland en er zijn af en toe geluiden van agrarische activiteiten. Maar die zijn niet storend en zeker in de avond valt er een enorme rust en stilte over het gebied waarin je alleen de wind en de vogels hoort. Wees ook niet verbaasd als er af en toe een koe nieuwsgierig naar binnen kijkt vanaf het eilandje dat vlak achter het huisje ligt
