Welcome to the site. We are the Smeding family. Grandpa Smeding comes from Friesland. He used to go on holiday in Gaasterland regularly with his parents. We are now all attached to this beautiful region. We have newly built the holiday home in 2005. The name of the holiday home is due to the old house that used to be there. It is a light, fresh, clean, spacious and fully furnished house with a cozy fireplace inside and barbecue/fireplace outside. The holiday home is suitable for children. Pets are also welcome. The bedroom and bathroom downstairs, also very suitable for the elderly. If there is anything we can be of service to you, we would like to hear from you. Hope to see you!
