Enjoyed our stay

There is a lovely garden with a deck where we are entertained by the birds, the mallards, the cows and the flowers . Very convenient location, we can always find a great outdoor cafe for lunch. We like the kitchen, which is large and has a gas stove.

A real gem near Amsterdam,

This place was a perfect place of respite after a day of sightseeing around South Holland. The garden and grounds were so beautiful we almost hated to leave the house to travel for the day. Stephanie is an excellent host. She helped us navigate our way into Amsterdam (local train station) and to find local restaurants.

Great stay in nature

Stephanie’s place is an amazing converted barn surrounded by a lovely garden and farmland. The location is convenient to Amsterdam (25 min by train) and a short run or drive to the quaint town of Weesp. She takes pride in her property and is extremely helpful with local tips and ideas of things to do in the area. Be sure to walk to the local dairy farm for some Tasty cheeses, yogurt and milk. Very comfortable for our family of four to stay in for multiple days. We will be back!

Relaxing

Great place in a very quiet area. Owner is great and welcoming. The loft is a great place to wind down after a long day but be ready as it is very warm. House is very fonctional but two little things were unpleasant. There are ants pretty much everywhere and the timing for the gardeners was awfull. One morning they were triming and making lots of noise right beside my window, waking me up. And the next morning they were working in front of the washroom window while I was in the shower. It was interesting....but they did a great job with their work...lol.

Beautiful location but some issues

We booked this property after previous city centre based stays, we were looking for a more rural location which this certainly meets, it is an ideal balance between rural peace and sights and only a 25 minute walk to the Amsterdam metro. The host was helpful with our delayed arrival but otherwise left us to our own devices which we prefer. It would be remiss of me not to mention some of the issues we felt were with the property, it is broadly as described, the pictures are an accurate reflection of the rooms. I think it’s fair to say some of the fixtures and fittings are showing signs of age and could do with a little refresh. One issue we were not expecting was the presence of mosquitos around the property, to such and extent it was necessary to sleep under protective nets, they were an annoyance more than a specific problem but I wish I’d known this prior to booking. In summary this is a lovely location but I ultimately feel a bit disappointed with the actual accommodation.

Perfect Lodging!

My wife and I had 10 amazing nights at the property! Stephanie provided exemplary coordination from the date of booking through check-out. We used the bedroom closest to the backyard pond - very comfortable and spacious! Plenty of room exists to hang clothes (we are on a 36-day holiday, so quite a few clothes), as well as dresser for folded items. The bathroom in that bedroom (both bedrooms have dedicated bathrooms) was terrific. Plenty of hot water and great water pressure in the shower. The heated floors are particularly nice when getting out of the shower. We cooked five meals at the property, with the gas stove/oven working perfectly. While the refrigerator has no freezer, we found placing frozen vegetables in the back of the refrigerator kept them sufficiently chilled. Satellite TV was great with several channels in English (movies on Chan 8/9 every night starting around 8pm), BBC, and CNN. The upstairs loft is extremely spacious, with a very large sectional sofa. We used the property as a 'hub' to 'spoke' out to Amsterdam, Leiden, Hague, Rotterdam, Delft, and Lisse. Very quiet and relaxing location, yet not far from anything you need (great Jumbo-brand grocery 15 minutes away). We would most definitely stay here again!

Beyond Beautiful!

This surpassed our wildest dreams. Such a well-equipped “little” cottage. So roomy, beautifully decorated, just the perfect place for a family to stay on holiday. One disclaimer, it’s a bit far from Amsterdam and neither train station is all that close. If you don’t have a car, you’ll pay premium for Ubers back and forth. But I would still stay here again in a heartbeat.

Enjoyable stay for a family

This guest cottage was excellent, with ease of accessibility to metro from both sides of Gwin Nord, which is just on the outskirts of Amsterdam limits. A rental car and parking near the city worked really well, but booking, walking and metro are options if you plan ahead. Also a good access point for those looking to explore outside Amsterdam: we were able to enjoy Düsseldorf, Eindhoven and Antwerp with this well placed VRBO just off A2. The accommodations were fantastic. A very spacious top level living area with wood stove and couch and large dining area, and a main floor with 2BR and 2BA is perfect for traveling families. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat, a scenic escape from the busyness and bustle of central Amsterdam, and a wonderful place to relax both inside and outdoors. Five stars!

Tolles Haus nähe Amsterdam

Wir hatten das große Glück ein paar Tage in diesem wunderbaren Haus verbringen zu dürfen und wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Schon beim Betreten spürt man, dass hier mit Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet wurde. Die Räume sind großzügig geschnitten und voller Licht, was eine sehr warme und einladende Atmosphäre schafft. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und bietet alles, was man zum Kochen braucht. Besonders haben wir die gemütliche Sitzgelegenheit in der Küche geschätzt – perfekt für einen Kaffee am Morgen oder ein Glas Wein am Abend. Die Schlafzimmer sind komfortabel und bieten reichlich Platz, und die Betten sind wunderbar bequem. Auch das Bad lässt keine Wünsche offen; alles war sauber und gepflegt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Lage. Die Umgebung ist ruhig und grün, ideal für Spaziergänge und kleine Ausflüge und trotzdem ist alles Wichtige schnell erreichbar. Der Garten ist ein echtes Highlight und ist sehr idyllisch. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an die Gastgeber, die stets freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam waren. Man spürt, dass ihnen das Wohl ihrer Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können dieses Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Très très beau et grand logement. Au calme et à la campagne mais a seulement 7min du métro en voiture qui vous emmène a Amsterdam en 15 min (parking gratuit avec de la place au pied du métro). Le salon du 1ere étage est superbe. Les chambres sont spacieuses et ont chacune leur salle de bain. Une perle rare qui donne envie de revenir !

Great house and location

A lovely house in a peaceful location. Spent a happy week here with my husband and adult daughter. House well equipped, especially the mosquito nets which were definitely needed but they worked as I didn’t get any bites! We enjoyed relaxing in the evening in the upstairs living room. Weren’t able to use the garden as much as we would have liked due to the weather but did sit outside a couple of times and enjoyed watching the wildlife and listening to the birds - first time I’ve ever heard a cuckoo! Only a 10 minute drive to Weesp where we caught the train to Amsterdam. Stephanie was a great host and answered my questions before we travelled very promptly. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.
