How nice of you to come and spend the night. On the beautiful grounds of Fort Uitermeer you will stay in one of our unique floating wooden houses: the Boathouse or the Boshuis. This special place in the middle of nature is meant to relax, slow down and enjoy water, greenery and silence. Had enough of the peace and quiet? Grab the accompanying canoe and explore the area by water! This cottage was designed with care: warm wood and fresh white inside, a minimalist interior and large skylights that continuously connect you to the outside. Whether you wake up overlooking the water or have a cup of coffee on your terrace in the morning, here everything is about being outdoors without compromising on comfort. This cottage is more than an overnight stay; it is a place to recharge, slow down and reconnect with nature. Whether you come for a romantic retreat, a solo retreat or a few days away from the city, here you will find the peace you are looking for. For a moment offline.
Nature and surroundings
Fort Uitermeer is hidden in a bend of the Vecht River, in the middle of a green and watery landscape. Reeds sway along the banks and give the area an almost hushed atmosphere. Here you can mostly hear the rustling of the wind, the rustling of the reeds and the cries of water birds. The open water, the meandering river and the surrounding meadows provide wide views that have a different character every season. For cyclists and hikers, this is an ideal environment: the routes along the Vecht take you along historic dikes, small bridges and quiet nature strips. What makes this place extra special is how nature is interwoven with history. Fort Uitermeer is part of the New Dutch Waterline and the Defence Line of Amsterdam.

See the description of our experience.
Zie bij beschrijving van onze ervaring.
Staying on a wooden camping raft is a unique experience; it sways a little. It’s not very quiet, because there’s a busy road nearby. And Schiphol Airport isn’t far away, so airplanes fly overhead quite often. The view is beautiful—over water and meadows—with the sounds of sheep, grebes, moorhens, ducks, geese....
There’s no electrical outlet, but there is a USB charging port, two electric lamps, and two battery-powered lamps. The eco-toilet takes some getting used to, but it works great. We didn’t cook because the weather wasn’t great, and cooking outside is tricky in those conditions.
The floating cabins aren’t very clearly marked at the entrance to Fort Uitermeer. They’re located next to the Porterhouse (restaurant).Het is een bijzondere ervaring om op een houten kampeervlot te verblijven; het schommelt een beetje. Het is niet heel rustig, want er is een drukke weg vlakbij. En Schiphol is niet ver weg, dus vliegtuigen komen met grote regelmaat over. Het uitzicht is prachtig over water en weiland met het geluid van schapen, futen, waterhoentjes, eenden, ganzen....
Er is geen stopcontact, wel een usb oplaadpunt, 2 elektrische lampen en 2 lampen op batterijen. Het eco toilet is even wennen, maar werkt prima. Koken hebben we niet gedaan, want het weer was niet fantastisch en dan is buiten koken lastig.
De drijfhuisjes staan niet erg duidelijk aangegeven bij de ingang van Fort Uitermeer. Ze liggen naast het Porterhouse (restaurant).This text is automatically translated. -

I wouldn't do this as a long vacation, but for a few nights at most.
Ik zou dit niet als lange vakantie doen, maar voor max een paar nachten.
A really fun experience. Even though you’re close to everything, you still feel completely free and can enjoy watching the swallows fly by, the kingfisher, the coot, and the tranquility of the water and the meadow beyond. We took a short trip in the canoe, and if you want, you can easily walk over to the terrace for a snack or drink at the restaurant next door.
Super leuke ervaring. Hoewel je overal dicht bij zit, zit je toch helemaal vrij en kan je genieten van de zwaluwen die voorbij vliegen, ijsvogeltje, meerkoet en de rust van het water en het weiland erachter. Klein tochtje gemaakt met de kano en als je wil loop je zo naar het terras voor een hapje/drankje van het naastgelegen restaurant.
