We had a wonderful holiday at Ilse and Marten's place. The house was even more beautiful than in the photos and the location was fantastic ❤️ The house was very clean and has everything you need. By car, you can reach Groningen in about 30 minutes. Thank you for the lovely holiday :-)
Bungalow in Ermelo
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 125 reviewsHoliday home with large private garden Ermelo
We spent four beautiful days as a family of four in the house of Corrie and Bert. The garden was very well maintained, well equipped for us and our children and very private. The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. Bert and Corrie were great hosts and were very accommodating to us at check-in and check-out. Thank you for everything, we will be happy to come back!
Guesthouse in Ochten
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviewsJacuzzi private and views of beautiful private water
We had a very nice, long weekend at the apartment. Beautiful fully equipped loft. Jos and Rox are very sweet & easily accessible at any time. It is also possible to rent a tent at the lake. The toilets for this will be under the apartment. Visitors could be heard in part, but this was not very disruptive. In summary, a great spot with Jacuzzi.
Guesthouse in Epe

Home in Almere-Poort
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsSpacious Dune house, in the dunes, forest and beach.
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.
Chalet in Putten
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsEnjoying the tranquility & nature on the Boszicht
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.
Home in Middelie
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 187 reviewsCountry Garden House with Panoramic View
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!
