About this accommodation

Imagine your own private island in the Vinkeveense Plassen. Only reachable by boat, with a view over miles of lakes and where you wake up in the morning to twittering ducks and the rustle of the wind. Unique! The island lies at the head of a series of islets. From the island you have a clear view over the lakes.

In summer weather you can start the day with a dip in the water and swim around the island. Another great activity: take a seat on the spacious jetty for a cup of coffee in the morning sun or for a yoga session. A private yoga lesson on the jetty by an experienced local teacher can be booked. Pick fresh herbs from the garden, marvel at the crystal clear water or throw out a fishing rod. Everything is possible. Here you have plenty of privacy, you're surrounded by nature and you imagine yourself in Scandinavia. And all that in the middle of the Randstad! Create beautiful memories right here.

The Tiny House
On the island is a tiny house (max 4 persons) that you can book all year round for a wonderful stay. The living room with an open kitchen leads to the bedroom, which has a double bed. From the bed you look out over the island and the ponds. Never before have you woken up with such a unique view! Through the bedroom, you enter the bathroom. The ceiling is not high, but the bathroom is quite spacious and has a hot shower, a toilet (which, very sustainably, is flushed with water from the ponds) and a designer sink with hot and cold running water. NOTE: during the winter months (November to March) there is a chance that there is no running water. The owners will provide you with bottles of drinking water and jerry cans of fresh wash water. The toilet can be flushed as usual. There is a kitchen with a kitchen unit, a sink, a refrigerator and a gas stove. Everything you need (olive oil, herbs, soap etc) is there; you just have to bring your own groceries. From the kitchen window you look out on the water and the boats passing by. The kitchen table (a sturdy, original army table) is 1.80x0.90 meters. Just want to relax? That is possible on the bench, which is a sofa bed. Here two (smaller) children or 1 adult can sleep. The bench is 1.20 wide. For a fourth person, a pallet bed is added. Think of it as a form of quite luxurious and comfortable (but special!) camping. Is the weather rainy? Then the two silver storage chests offer a solution. These are full of.... games! When the weather is colder, you can sit by the fireplace. Outside, there are several nice seating areas with fire pits. Sheltered under the cabin, on the spacious jetty with miles of views, at the beach bar or by the kitchen window... anyone want a cappuccino?

In the months of March to October it is also possible to book a bell tent / safari tent (4 persons). It has a wooden floor and two comfortable (air) beds. If desired, two air beds can be added, making the tent suitable for four people. The tent is beautifully decorated and is very comfortable, also in terms of temperature. It is made for all four seasons in Scandivania.

To get to the island, the rental company will take you to the island and pick you up again in a large boat. Optionally, you can book a shopping boat (4 people) for € 40, - per day. This boat can be rented on the spot. Do you feel like supping? You can also rent two SUPs; ask for the possibilities upon arrival.

Surroundings
The Vinkeveense Plassen is a nature and water sports area south of Amsterdam and north of Utrecht. They were created by the extraction of peat. The current elongated islands are the dikes. They were used as drying fields for the then wet peat. The created dikes and loose islands are now 80% owned by private individuals, who use the islands for recreation. The Vinkeveense Plassen is a popular water sports area. Not surprisingly so, because you can swim, sail, paddle, dive and of course fish. Along the lakes are many restaurants and cafes. Adjacent is the nature reserve Botshol, where you can walk or canoe. The Vinkeveense Plassen is a unique area that you really have to discover!

NOTE:
In the months November till March this accommodation is only bookable for max 4 persons. In the months April till September, it can be booked for up to 8 people.

No parties/loud music/noise. This accommodation is aimed at people who are looking for peace and quiet, who want to go off-grid for a while and really want to experience a unique experience.
