Stargazey Cottage: Historic farm central Holland

SenneRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a great stay at Johan & Imi's place! It is one of the better airbnbs we have stayed in. The airbnb was clean and everything you need is there. Johan & Imi are very friendly and good hosts. Breakfast was very well provided, very good service! The location is also very nice, but convenient to have a car at your disposal to be able to explore the area. All very positive!

Luka's Hut, eco-cabin with sauna by the river

AnkeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Wonderful cabin in a peaceful environment. We loved watching the sun rise from the bed or the riverbank. It was especially beautiful and tranquil with the morning fog in autumn. The cabin was exactly as described. An excellent selection of amenities, there was nothing to be missed. The host was proactive, and always available for questions. I hope to be back one day to try out the kajak or canoe.

The stay was fantastic! Great for a weekend away and enjoy the beautiful nature in the area. The village of Otterlo is 3 minutes away and also within 10 minutes you are in the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The accommodation has everything you need and is wonderfully private. Berber helped us very nicely with the hot tub. The hot tub is really an addition. We will come back to this accommodation if we go to the Veluwe for another weekend! Highly recommended :)

Orchard Chalet with wellness (optional)

4.76 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews34 months ago

A wonderful place, with a lot of privacy, in a beautiful environment. The cottage is very fully furnished. Also ideal if you have a dog, due to the fully enclosed garden. A car or bike is useful because shops are a couple of miles away. Nearby you can go hiking (e.g. at the Meeuwenplas) in particularly beautiful nature. Stephan is a friendly and welcoming host. All in all, it definitely makes a place you want to go back to.

Spacious premium villa, right on the waterfront

5 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews2 months ago

This property is the right one in Stavoren to book in to. Spacious, clean, well thought through whether in the design and layout or in the convenience of en-suites. It really is comfortable, cozy, and easy to feel at home. As they say here in the Netherlands…”gezellig”! I highly recommend it. Of course Ben is an exceptional host!

We spent a week in Irene's house with two kids (1 and 2.5 years). It was really great. We immediately felt at home in the house, received a personal welcome and a tour from Geert and the communication was nice. There are many toys and other items for small children in the house, which makes the stay even more pleasant. There is also a lot to do with kids in the area, both within walking distance or a small distance by car. We enjoyed it so much, that we already made a new booking for next year. Highly recommended!

I would like to reccomend to stay at Maarten and Anke's place to everyone who is looking for a long stay or short stay. Apartment is neat clean and you have a very warm arrival at the place. Private parking and all you can need in the appartment is thougt of by a lovely hosts. I was staying by the accommodation with my wife for 2 months and for those two months i have felt home. Hosts are not intrusive and you have all the privacy you need, more than that you have a lot of snacks provided here and there by kind-harted owners. Thats the place you really would like to comeback again.

Spacious Dune house, in the dunes, forest and beach.

DevonRating, 5 stars1 month ago

great host. friendly and concerned about making the stay comfortable. We stopped by for a weekend as a stop on our road trip and the place felt very high end. wide open rooms with comfy beds and pillows and other cool spaces plus a lovely cat 🐈 who is quick to warm up to you. If I was being really harsh it could benefit from a second shower/bath for bigger groups and a bigger driveway but the latter is probably more unique to us have 3 cars for our trip. Also sorting the bins situation in the area was a bit confusing but that's because we care about our waste a lot and don't throw trash in any bin. the area is well maintained and whole neighbourhood is clean.

Really nice, especially the fire stove inside. Also it was clean and cosy. Only thing we didn’t like was the communication. We asked if there is any firewood for the outside fire pot, but we didn’t get an answer. So we didn’t bring firewood but had to buy it in the store there.

Country Garden House with Panoramic View

ArieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What a lovely, nice and super complete cottage. We lacked niéts! We stayed here for a long weekend with our 2 sons and their partners and that became a very nice family getaway with lots of peace and quiet but also extensive visits to Edam, Volendam, Monnickendam and Marken. As residents of De Rijnmond, we greatly enjoyed the silence and the dark nights. We completely relaxed. A faltering Nespresso machine and a low battery in the kitchen scale were immediately replaced after a app, great! Definitely recommended!
