Located in the rural Amsterdam Noord area, near Broek in Waterland, you’ll find the charming nature house “Bed & Birds.” The cottage is nestled amid vast meadows and borders the beautiful Volgermeer bird sanctuary. It’s an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. The cottage is situated on a private property, is cozy, and comes fully equipped with all modern conveniences. It features a bathroom with a shower and a kitchenette with two induction burners. The rental includes fresh eggs from our chickens, Nespresso capsules, and tea. At the back of the property, tucked away in the orchard, there’s also a hideaway cabin that you’re welcome to use. This cabin has no amenities, but that’s precisely what makes it a unique experience of absolute peace and quiet. From here, you can enjoy an impressive view of the vast meadows. Despite the peaceful location, you can get to Amsterdam quickly: it’s a 16-minute bus ride to Central Station and an 8-minute ride to the Noord metro station for the North-South Line. It’s also easy to bike to and from Central Station.

Nature and surroundings

The area surrounding the nature house is located in a typical peat meadow region, characterized by vast peat meadows, winding ditches, and an open landscape that constantly changes with the light and the seasons. This centuries-old cultural landscape is a paradise for nature lovers. The variety of flora and fauna here is exceptionally rich. In the sky, you’ll regularly see birds of prey such as buzzards, kestrels, and harriers hunting above the meadows. On the grasslands, meadow birds such as lapwings, black-tailed godwits, redshanks, and oystercatchers breed and forage, filling the area with life and sound. The spoonbill is also a striking and frequent visitor, with its characteristic, somewhat disheveled-looking flight and graceful manner of foraging in the shallow ditches. This area offers a rare wealth of nature, where tranquility, open space, and biodiversity come together.

As described above. The cottage is cozy and practically furnished inside; it’s clean, and all the essentials are provided. There’s a lovely patio in front of the cottage with a view of the garden and meadows.
The owners are wonderful people!

Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

The cottage is located next to the owner’s farm, with plenty of open space around it, including large trees, meadows, and birds. We also enjoyed the free-range chickens, the dog Billie, and the beautiful sunrise.
We cycled to Zuiderwoude, Uitdam, Holysloot, Durgerdam, and Zunderdorp.
A beautiful route with little bridges, village views, streams, the Markermeer, and—via the new, winding dike—a lovely view of Amsterdam.

A really lovely place—so peaceful and spacious, yet so close to the city. I'd go back in a heartbeat :)
