Amazing location
Had a fantastic stay at this property. Was just about large enough for 6 people with all the facilities you need. The biggest surprise was the location which is absolutely beautiful. Very nice hosts as well.

Picture perfect and lovely hosts
Gijs ensured we had everything we needed and that the property was all setup. Many essential day-to-day items were provided (salt, pepper, sugar, cooking oil, washing up tablets, and many more), which is a lovely touch. We had free use of the rowing boat, canoes and SUPs right on the doorstep. The unique location of the place makes you feel right in the middle of nature with so many different birds around. Five stars all around.

One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed
Can’t fault this place at all. The location is so peaceful, with beautiful sunrises over the water. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the use of the motor boat with access to the main lake. Loved swimming straight off the deck and also Kayaking. Efteling and Walibi are both an hour away by car, which were great fun but didn’t go much further as the weather was amazing so spent a lot of time relaxing by/in/on the water. The view from the terrace is special and we enjoyed breakfasts and evening BBQs whilst absorbing the ambiance. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastic holiday. Property lovely right by the waters edge, with a rowing boat we used daily for trips around the fantastic lake. Fished outside the house caught loads of Bream, Roach and Rudd. Had a great day in Amsterdam 20 mins by train from Breukelen station.

nature getaway
If you are a city person this is not for you. If u love nature, birds, sheep, horse, green trees, fields and a deck on quiet water this is for you. So i loved it. 5 minute drive to the town of Breukelin which had everything you need. Grocery store and restaurants. (The asian a la carte restaurant was great). It would have been 5 stars if there had been air conditioning but I understand Holland doesnt get the heat waves we in Toronto, Canada do. Our hosts were lovely people.

Cosy, warm, good facilities including wifI and a boat, kids loved the animals, owners good resource.
Accomodation nice and warm-useful as it was April and cool outside. Good range of facilities including a very useful washing machine and tumble drier. Excellent wifi which made planning days out easy. Good base to visit lots of different towns and useful for Schipol. Useful having owners on site with their local knowledge -came in very handy when using the train to Amsterdam. Struggled to find it initially but owners English helped us with instructions on the phone. Kids particularly loved the animals and the boat that came with the property. They even swam in the lake-the warm accomodation was much appreciated as was the lovely warm shower.

Fantastic
The house is at the end of the property and looks out onto the water. The sunrise in the morning is beyond belief. The house is very well done and has everything you need. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We hated to leave and would definitely stay here if we return to the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the sights in the area.

Fabulous house on the lake!
We had a wonderful holiday in Breukelen, the house was perfect for us and it was lovely to see all the wildlife. We swam in the lake everyday as the weather was beautiful. There was plenty of room for the children to play. We would definitely return. Thanks gijs and Ying Yi for a lovely holiday. Liza and Richard

This was absolutely perfect for my multi-generation family stay. The location was exactly what we were looking for, the cottage was impressively stocked with everything needed and we were especially impressed with the high quality of the beds/mattresses, important for some of the older backs in the family. We also enjoyed the wildlife, from the duck couple who joined us for daily breakfast to the geese families on their daily swims. Gijs was also incredibly responsive to my questions and requests.
