The area around Breukelen is beautiful and has a rich history. The river Vecht plays an important role. Already in the golden age, around the year 1600, the wealthy businessmen discovered the beauty of the river. The traders, who made a lot of money trading with Asia, built beautiful estates with teahouses on the Vecht. Many of these estates have been preserved. By bike along the banks of the Vecht you have a beautiful view of these historic buildings. If you want a combination of cycling and sailing, we can recommend the bike boat. Search here for the website:

Around Breukelen there are many bike paths that lead you along the rivers, through the polders or in beautiful nature reserves. You should not miss the cycle route around the lakes of Loosdrecht or through the nature reserve from Tienhoven to Hilversum. Search for cycling routes in Breukelen:


Do you like to play golf Also, a few miles away, in the rustic town of Loenen aan de Vecht is a beautiful golf course with 81 holes. For more information;

Finally we would like to recommend the visit of the castle De Haar in Haarzuilen. This castle was rebuilt in 1892 on the ruins of the old castle and the castle and the castle garden are regularly open to visitors;

    The cottage was in a wonderful location - perfect for exploring lots of the main attractions. It was great to be able to use the boat and canoe on the lake - so peaceful. Gijs was a great host - friendly and welcoming.

    We had a great week in this lovely house, surrounded by such beauty. Gijs and Ying-Yi were perfect hosts; taking care to prepare everything with our comfort in mind and giving us the space to relax (while knowing they were there if needed). The house is perfectly located to enjoy the beautiful village of Breukelen and the natural splendour of the area. It is also well connected to routes that make visits to Utrecht and other interesting towns and cities very simple. We had awful weather but that didn’t ruin the experience and we gladly managed to take out the rowing boat provided for a beautiful sunset on our last evening. We will definitely return!

    The property is located in the heritage area near Breukelen. It is adjacent to a canal with its own row boat. The patio is on the canal. The listing was accurate. Kept in a very well maintained condition and well equipped. One can sit and enjoy the view of the fields or feed the ducks or walk to the lake and enjoy the free water board or a canoe. It is a huge lot with four dwellings, but they are spread out and privacy is not an issue. Free Parking is available on the premises. Wifi is good. There is hardly any traffic on the adjacent road as it is a dead end. The walk to town is very refreshing, or enjoy a bike ride renting from Age Bikes. The town and other sporting facilities are 5 mins by car. We were received by Gijs and Ying Yi. Ying Yi checked us in and explained everything and took us around. She was always available to help. On another day Gijs took us for a tour on his boat, that was so much fun. It was lovely to have met them, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you Gijs and Ying Yi for a wonderful stay.

    Very impressed with the excellent condition of the property and the beautiful location. Easy and direct communication with the hosts. The property is very well equipped and all appliances are in good condition. Located very centrally, yet very rural and quiet environment. We will definitely return to this property.
