Giethoorn Lodge, luxury thatched cottage. Electric sloop for rent

We loved our stay at this Vrbo in Giethoorn. It was great to live a little like those who are always living there. The use of the boat was a must as it gave us a feeling of what it is like to live in this area surrounded by water. I loved the tranquil feeling of going for a boat ride, and walking the paths along the houses. Thank you Bert and Marie!

We had a very good time?. The hosts are really friendly and helpful. The house was very cosy and clean and the area around is a dream! We loved it ❤️

Great location and accomodations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bert and Marie's lodge. Check in and check out was easy. Thanks Bert and Marie!

Great hosts. Great accommodations

This was a beautiful house. Very clean, warm, well set-up. It was set in a quiet area of town, with beautiful trees, birds, flowers, canals. We enjoyed walking through the town and listening to the birds. Our hosts were gracious and welcoming. The house was clean and perfect. The stairs would be hard for someone with mobility issues, but they didn't bother us. There is one bedroom on the main floor, and a toilet and a shower on the main floor, if someone has mobility issues. We stayed here with 4 adults and loved every minute here. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone else.

Our hosts were very pleasant and responsive to our requests. The property and neighborhood are beautiful and convenient to town shops and restaurants.

Bert and Marie built a little piece of paradise in Giethoorn. Their little Lodge was cozy and charming. You are surrounded by nature and beauty! The couple live at the main house stationed at front and despite the close quarters they gave us all the privacy we need; We loved having them as neighbors! The first night they took us on a little boating excursion around the old town where it's untouched with tourism! Bikes and boat are available at very reasonable costs! We didn't get to use the boat only because Bert offered to be our personal captain ;-) Although he made it clear that the boat and canoes were available to us if we desired. Cities close by are pretty easily accessible, especially Steenwijk. We highly recommend it to anyone wanting some peace and quiet in this quaint town! If you like biking, boating, and sincere, kind people this is the place for you. As an additional note, Bert and Marie hire a cleaning lady that does a stunning job at keeping this property emaculately clean.

Awesome place and was treated to a boat tour of the old village on our arrival. We had use of bikes, kayaks, a canoe and a punter w motor. We went there​ on our honeymoon and Sandy and I loved staying at the lodge. Had a suana, lovely deck on the canals. We so enjoyed our stay took several cards for our friends. Bert and Marie were great hosts. Look forward to returning​ there on our anniversary sometime.

Bert & Maria are lovely owners who helped make our stay so good. The holiday home is clean, and has everything and more you could want from a holiday home, and is chocolate box beautiful as well, being thatched & with a small protected patio area. The house is located close to the smaller old village, just 10 mins away in the day boat or canoe, the main village takes about 25 mins in the boat to get to. Giethoorn is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a very good reason, it is jaw dropping beautiful! With a small number of nice restaurants in the main village, close to the holiday home is The 'Lindenhoff' 2 Michelin starred restaurant. We had a fantastically relaxed holiday at the end of May beginning of June, the weather was really warm, and there were not too many other tourists. If you don't like a holiday at this holiday home and in this area I will eat my hat! Many Thanks to Bert & Maria

The guest house inside is exactly as shown in the pictures. Very nice, clean and comfortable. Well represented. However, it is not clear in the listing that the lodge is in the middle of an active work area with a work barn and boat rebuilding activities. Prior to booking I inquired regarding the availability and use of a boat. I was told that a boat was available directly behind the lodge for our use (with only petrol expense). However, upon arrival we were informed the boat was unavailable for our use. The only reason we chose this cabin was because of the availability of the boat as there is no reason to stay here without access to a boat. Without a boat one must drive to access restaurants and entertainment...and boat rentals... The intrigue of the area is directly related to the canals and water activities. One should expect to spend 80-100 Euros per day for boat rental in town. We were disappointed in regards to this additional and unexpected expense.
