Lodge 'Rest & Space on the Vecht'
Oasis of greenery
Brand new Lodge in an oasis of tranquility overlooking the meadows of the polder Nijenrode in Breukelen. With a bit of luck you will see a deer early in the morning or at dusk at some distance from the Lodge. This beautiful green location in the middle of the Vecht region, with Utrecht, Amsterdam and the Loosdrecht Lakes around the corner, is ideal for enjoying nature, walking, cycling, boating, water sports, culture and eating out.

The Lodge consists of a living room with a comfortable sofa, dining area, smart TV and a complete kitchen (induction hob, extractor hood, oven, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, kitchen utensils, crockery and glassware) and has WiFi. In addition, a bathroom with a spacious shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet, and a bedroom with a double box-spring bed. The beds are made, bath towels and kitchen linen are provided.

Garden furniture is available as well as a parking space for the car (possibility to charge an electric car) and a shed for bicycles.

Location
Breukelen village 10 minutes by bike and 30 minutes walking. To the east and south neighbors about 600 meters away. North Nijenrode estate at about 600 meters, where Nyenrode University is located. Sometimes you see the farmer walking through the land eg to pick up the cows. Sometimes you can hear students singing and playing the carillon of Nijenrode Castle. Basically it is quiet with pleasant ambient sounds.

We pay extra attention to guests who cannot always go on holiday easily and unprepared due to allergies. The Lodge is suitable for guests with allergies (to pets, dust mites, down and wool). Pets and smoking are therefore not allowed in and outside the Lodge. All bedding is washed at 60 degrees.

So that you can enjoy safe and carefree both externally and internally.

If you would like to come with your little one, please bring your own bed. A high chair is available, as well as children's crockery. There is 1 bedroom, which means that the cot is in the living room. Children who can walk but cannot swim yet should be careful. The Lodge is surrounded by water, usually ditches that are not deep, but dangerous for young children.

There is a small loft under the sloping roof for 1 adult or an extra 1-2 children, provided they can safely and independently go up and back via the stairs. This loft is a cozy 'children's lounge.
