Simone was very kind and welcomed us personally at the property. The accommodation was very peaceful and we appreciated being completely immersed in nature. The house was as described and the surroundings were truly beautiful

Marco

Such a beautiful and cozy vacation home, truly great for unwinding. The courtyard, the surroundings and the village are picturesque, the hosts are wonderfully kind and friendly. Amsterdam is 30 minutes away by car, for us it was perfect in every way. We'll be back.

Karen Velasquez

Very cozy & beautiful property.

Antje

We were very satisfied. Check-in was great, Simone and her husband are very friendly. Since we didn't have a car, it was also great to be able to take the bus into Amsterdam, as it runs every half hour. Cozy vacation home with a view from the bathroom into the sheep barn, which was a highlight for us. We'd love to come back.

Very beautiful small property, small duplex annex next to a small sheep stable. Magnificent little cottage, tastefully decorated with style. The owners are very kind, friendly and full of good advice. 35 min from Amsterdam city center, watch in hand via Noord PR and metro (Line 52). Ideal location to fully enjoy Amsterdam and sleep in the countryside. Super charming little village with a very good restaurant (Bij Ernst). It is also located 32 min from the beach, on the owner's recommendation (Simone), De Groet and the small parking at the far north at the village exit, beautiful terrace and impeccable beach less crowded than Bergen aan Zee. Visited the dunes and the pedestrian and bike trails that are in the village...across from the ice cream parlor...A fantastic experience. I recommend it 200%.

Our vacation at Simone's was simply wonderful! The beautiful and lovingly furnished cottage was exactly right for us and we felt comfortable right away. The lovely surroundings and the peaceful location speak for themselves. The picturesque village of De Rijp is in the immediate vicinity and is easily accessible on foot. We were welcomed very warmly by Simone, Eddy & Kees and always received good tips regarding excursion destinations and similar.

I couldn't have dreamed of a better place for my vacation, thank you Simone for the wonderful stay I just had at your place.
The surroundings are superb, the visit to the mill museum was brief but very informative.
The calm and tranquility, nature all around, rabbits and hares playing without fear of humans, just like the various kinds of birds that have made their home on the farm.
I would have gladly stayed a bit longer if I could have, but it's clear that I will very willingly return as soon as possible.
I also remember the smile and kindness of my hosts who made themselves available while respecting my privacy.
Hope to see you very soon.

Wonderful place, in the middle of fields just at the entrance of the lovely village of DeRijp. Very warm welcome from Simone and her husband and the very kind Luna (the family's sheepdog). The renovated barn is very cozy and perfectly equipped. A great stay in the heart of Holland, with Amsterdam Central very accessible by bus every 30 minutes from DeRijp. We highly recommend it!!!!

Jan Kappert

The surroundings were peaceful, we really enjoyed ourselves.

The cottage looks great and is equipped with all amenities. Nice within walking distance of the Rijp and therefore restaurants. And these are very good in the Rijp and Noordeind.

A great area for cycling and our dog loved it there too. We were there during a fairly warm week but there is plenty of shade. And last but not least, the owners of the Natuurhuisje are also very helpful and friendly.

And since it is a water-rich area you will undoubtedly be able to sail and fish well there....but that is not our thing so we cannot give an opinion on it.

The house is perfect for a family and the surroundings are beautiful. Thank you to our host for this warm welcome and stay.

We had an excellent stay at Simone's place. The location is peaceful, very beautiful with the town just a few minutes' walk away. Very clean, spacious, we were able to have a wonderful stay. Simone was very responsive to our questions and was very kind. We warmly recommend this accommodation!

Didier

Great stay with Simone and her family in an ideal location for visiting the Netherlands and Amsterdam. Simone is very welcoming and gave us advice for visiting the region. The house is very well equipped and perfect for a family of 4. Shops and bakery within 5 minutes. In short, everything was perfect. Thank you again for the warm welcome!

Denise Graf

Great accommodation in a beautiful location with very friendly hosts! We felt very, very comfortable and welcome! The accommodation is nicely furnished and offers a few real special features with the cute sleeping nook and the window into the barn. Especially now with so many little lambs playing around here, it's a real dream. We'd love to come back!

Els Hoonhout

The cottage is situated in the middle of the polder, with ditches, waterways, mills, reed beds, charming villages and meadows full of cows and sheep.

Overall rating: 10
A charming cottage at the back of the farmyard. Very tastefully and carefully restored. A built-in bed and a spacious loft ensure wonderful sleep to the sound of birds, cows and sheep. The cottage has everything you need for a delightful stay, both inside and outside. The owner is particularly friendly and helpful and knows a lot to tell about the sheep and cows. The cottage is located at the edge of the village of De Rijp, which is an excellent base for boat trips and walks. We had a wonderful, carefree natural long weekend here.

Gerben Hart

We had a wonderful week's vacation in this beautiful, picturesque cottage situated on the farmer's property. The cottage itself is well-equipped with all amenities, good WiFi, and authentically charming. Since you're on a farm, there are some flies, but you can keep them out with the screens. The farmer's wife is very hospitable. The kids could play freely, there was a go-kart, they got to ride on the tractor once, and there was even a large inflatable swimming pool. The cottage is located at the back of the property, which gives you complete privacy and peace. At night you might hear a duck, a cow, or a sheep. But we city folk actually experience that as countryside charm, and it hasn't disturbed our sleep for a moment. Truly a wonderful place. De Rijp is a lovely village where you can enjoy great food.

Yolanda Spreij

What a lovely house in a beautiful location! The sheep around your house, lovely views and peace and quiet. You can easily walk to the charming village of De Rijp with its nice houses and some dining options. You can also rent a silent boat there. It's also wonderful that everything you need is provided in the house. Atmospheric furnishings. The hostess is incredibly kind. In short, highly recommended for a stay.

Elise Martin

Our stay was wonderful! Enough room for 6 adults comfortably. Beautiful remodeled portion of the barn and breathtaking scenery. Walking distance to town where we experienced the best dinner on our visit to the Netherlands. Host are simply delightful.

Manon Leijten

We had a wonderful stay with our 2 boys. There are nice things to do in the area. The farmstead itself is also very pleasant to spend time at. The boys especially enjoyed themselves on the farm.
