Friesland holiday home Rietmeer


This beautiful stone holiday home with lots of light is located in a small-scale quiet holiday park directly on open water in the heart of Friesland. Your dog is free and very welcome. Ideal for cycling, walking, fishing or for water sports enthusiasts such as sailing, renting a motorboat or supping.

The house itself is quiet, on the edge of the park, not directly on the waterway  (25 meters as the crow flies) with a large garden with grass, sunny and spacious terrace with lots of privacy and sheltered location, you can enjoy the first and last rays of sunshine in spring and autumn.
On the terrace there are pots with palm tree, oleander and Spanish daisies for a Mediterranean feeling, but in Friesland :)

Sturdy picnic table with cushions, BBQ, 2 chairs and drinks tables, here you can enjoy the peace and nature.

Ideal area with the electric bike or for walkers. Located right next to the bicycle junction. Beautiful trips to Workum, Sneek, Hindeloopen and Gaasterland.

The house is located in Gaastmeer, located between Oudega and Heeg.   

There is a VVV information point at the park and there is the possibility to rent a sloop, sup or sailboat per day, from the park you go straight onto the Frisian lakes. You can also bring your own sloop or sailboat with trailer at an additional cost, there are berths in the park and there is a slipway in the village and a crane in the park. 
You can rent an aluminum sloop with outboard motor for as little as 37.50 Euro. You can then get on the boat at 12.00 noon, you can sail to Oudega, for example, about 2 hours, have lunch on the terrace and then sail back quietly. The park has a cozy restaurant, which is open in high season and certain holidays. There is also a second restaurant on the water within walking distance. In the village there is a camp shop/supermarket and an eel smoker where you can buy various types of freshly smoked fish.

The house is located on a quiet car-free lane, the car may be placed just close to the house for loading and unloading and must then be placed back in the parking lot nearby.

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

The village of Heeg is within walking distance of Gaastmeer and is very cozy, there are several restaurants on the water, where you can enjoy a delicious meal. We recommend the IJpma bakery for delicious bread and pastries. There is also a supermarket here.
Gaastmeer is right next to a bicycle junction.
Sneek is a pleasant city, wherever you are by car or by electric bicycle. There is a pleasant center with a cinema, the famous water gate, various ice cream parlors, terraces and restaurants. There is Sneekweek the first week of August with fleet, light show or fireworks, crowded terraces and tour boat. The nearby Potten with beach on the Sneekermeer and 2 restaurants including a beach restaurant are also very pleasant.
Beautiful authentic town famous for its own language, the Hylpers and the HIndelooper painting. Located on the IJsselmeer with a beautiful sandy beach, good shallow swimming water. Atmospheric houses, lock and lots of fun. You can eat fresh fish everywhere.
Walking from the house to Oudega is 4 km, partly via a nice path along the water with boats. In Oudega are several restaurants, a nice village shop with its own wine cellar. A pizzeria and a nice stall with tasty homemade products from the region.
Walking is wonderfully quiet from Gaastmeer
Oudega has several restaurants.
The cottage has central heating, so a nice trip for Friesland enthusiasts, even in winter.
to the village for a little shopping at the Dorpswinkel, grab a Coffee to Go or fresh pizza. There is also an eel smoker, where you can buy freshly smoked fish.
eating ice cream, always nice in the summer.
You will encounter many water birds and other animals in the area.
So beautiful on the Frisian water.
