Gîte / Cottage


According to our guests: "Wonderfully spotless luxury cottage in a beautiful spot on the water. Better than advertised. Despite the many tourists, a quiet location with a lovely spacious garden and lots of privacy. Inside very comfortable. Fully furnished. Lovely beds. Nice new bathroom with rain shower + underfloor heating. Highly recommended to rent the boat."   

Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, a BBQ, a SUP board, two bicycles with panniers, and two life jackets for children are available for use FREE of charge (other cottages have surcharges for e.g. bed linen, bath linen, and kitchen linen).

This idyllic cottage is quietly located on the water on a spacious plot of 400 m² and offers a lot of privacy. It is always a wonderful place to be! Listen to the many birds chirping happily and watch the ducks and boats sail by from the lovely large garden or the cozy living room. You can also rent our electric boat for 100 euros. Sail up the cozy village canal, or to the nearby lakes "Bovenwijde", "Beulakerwijde," and "Belterwijde," or to the beautiful nature reserves of the National Park "Weerribben" and "De Wieden". 

The nice towns of Meppel and Steenwijk and the forests of Havelte with its unique Dolmens are within cycling distance. You can also take a lovely walk along the cozy houses and canals to the many cozy restaurants and cafes, where you can also enjoy the beautiful view on the terrace. The authentic village of Giethoorn is the "Venice of the North". The characteristic bridges, village canals, beautiful farms and peat houses with thatched roofs determine the village image. There is a bus stop 500 meters from the cottage, and a short 200 meters from the cottage is free parking P6 with plenty of parking. There is a handcart and hand truck available for transporting your luggage.

At the end of 2021 my wife and I were able to buy this gem. Every time we are here we really experience an oasis of peace, hence the name of the cottage. You are in the middle of old Giethoorn, but it is nevertheless a quiet, private spot and you are not bothered by the tourists. After a renovation of, among other things, the bathroom (now with underfloor heating and rain shower), we also invite you to come and enjoy yourself here!
