Charming unique private house overlooking pastures near Amsterdam

“GEZELLIG” as the Dutch say. This cottage is situated on the Hein River nestled between two quaint villages, Abcoude and Vesp. Its idyllic. Great for cycling. Two properties down the road, you can buy farm fresh cheese, milk, and yogurt. The scenery is so Dutch! Windmills, sheep, cows, and blooming sunflowers.

Beautiful and peaceful. Excellent location easily close to shops and easy transport to tram/train. Stephanie was excellant host very helpful and kind. Only drawback was mosquitoes come with after bite and repellant. Otherwise house was roomy and well equipped

After arriving here we decided we didn’t want to take any side trips. It soothed our souls.

We were 2 couples spending a week in the area. The cottage and garden are beautiful. It was great to have 2 ensuite bathrooms. The cottage was clean, attractive, and very comfortable. Stephanie always responded quickly and offered good information. Ihighly recommend this home.

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!

Four of us - own cars, own bikes. Fabulous house in a wonderful spot. Stephanie is a gracious and delightful host and her holiday home is perfect. Can’t recommend highly enough. Five Stars.

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.

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!

We had a lovely stay. Everything was perfect and I have no faults with this property or the host. It was in a lovely quiet area

We had a wonderful time in this idyllic place at the river,surrounded by cows and near a farmers shop.The house was clean and had a huge kitchen.There were also mosquito-nets for protection.We enjoyed a week and spend a day renting bikes to explore Abcoude and the nearby area.

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.

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.
