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!

We have done our best to provide maximum service, for example by reimbursing bicycle rental and by coming by to explain the dishwasher. We did not hear at the time that the location would be moderate.

Dear Jenny,
Glad you had such a good time, then it's extra if there were only 4 days left to book.

The houses in the park are very close together, hence a 7 for the location. Cottage is clean and very fully furnished, but we did miss mosquito nets and a non-senseo coffee maker.
The service of the landlords is very good...

Dear guests, thank you for the positive-critical review. Indeed, some other houses are not far away, but your privacy is fully guaranteed and the terrace of 70 m2 offers sun and shade, all day long. On your advice, a filter cof...

Lovely place in a beautiful park in Voorthuizen. Unfortunately, the immersion blender was broken and this was inconvenient to finish the soup. Fortunately, the (wife of) manager quickly came up with another immersion blender. E...

We were able to stay in this luxury holiday home from December 2019 to April 2020. Delicious! Everything is there, even a washing machine.
Highly recommended for short and longer periods.

After an extensive tour of the house, we were able to enjoy all the facilities of the cottage for a weekend. There was really noth...
