We are Rijk and Geke van Dam from Barneveld. We have both recently stopped paid work, but both are doing more volunteer work. We love to travel, (Rijk is tour guide) with Israel as favorite destination. Our chalet 'Vogelijn' is our pride, because it is such a wonderful place to have a holiday in your own country. And that is why we are happy to make it available to anyone who wants to recreate in the Veluwe and enjoy the beautiful nature and facilities of the Kingfisher. Welcome!

Thank you for this positive review, yes the location on a recreation park is different from a cottage in the woods, we think we have described that sufficiently on the site. Glad you enjoyed the outdoors and indoors even in cha...

Extraordinarily cozy holiday home with fantastic terrace. The cordiality when receiving the landlords is special! Add to that the wonderful cycling environment and a stay in the Vogelijn guarantees a great holiday!
