Perfect!

We stayed three nights in Marieke and Leo’s farmhouse. Monnickendam is stunning. The people in town are super friendly. We bought fresh milk, cheese, and eggs from a neighbor down the road. We were a group of seven. The house accommodated us beautifully. I wish we could come back year after year. Just lovely!

A little slice of heaven

This property is absolutely magical feeling, and I felt privileged to have experienced a stay here. The area is serene and idealic with beautiful farmland surrounding you. The town had wonderful places to eat, and an easy access (via public transportation) into Amsterdam. The owners are kind, respectful, and very helpful towards the guests. There's a useful list of activities, and places to visit provided by the owner. I deeply loved this home being our welcome to the Netherlands.

Family & Friends Exploring the Netherlands

The farmhouse was a perfect home base for our trip! We had day trips to Amsterdam, the north and the south and had time to explore Monnickendam. Some nights we cooked at the Farmhouse and some nights we ate on our outings. Every night we came home to a wonderful setting. It isn’t a complete visit to the Netherlands without time in the country. Our hosts were really responsive and very helpful before and during our visit! They recommended we have a car and it was great guidance. We miss the farmhouse and hosts already.

An unbeatable place to stay!

Probably one of the best places to stay for a trip to Amsterdam. This space is very big and exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed including coffee for the morning! The whole place was newly renovated and extremely tidy and well put together. The idyllic location outside the city was quiet and peaceful but it was still extremely easy to get into Amsterdam by public transportation. The hosts were very accommodating and welcoming. We really loved the basket of firewood they gave us each night which made for a cozy atmosphere. As we we’re staying over there around Christmas, they even set up a Christmas tree for us as a special touch! I can’t imagine staying at any better place. Thanks so much to Leo and Marieke for such a wonderful experience! We highly recommend a stay here for any trip to Amsterdam.

Wonderful House with everything you need and more

The first thing that came to our minds when we saw the house from the inside was that it was way bigger and more beautiful than the already nice pictures made us believe. We really felt at home from the first moment on. The rooms are really big and leave enough room for enjoyable evenings. Everything was very clean and we missed nothing. Marieke and Leo gave us a very warm welcome and helped us if we needed anything. We also enjoyed our small trips around the neighbourhood with the beautiful café around the corner and the many cute animals. Monnickendam is also a lovely little town - and there are even more nice places near the house where you can spend a lovely day. My friends and me stayed at Marieke's and Leo's place for three nights and are really looking forward to coming back to this place.

completely satisfied

We booked the apartment for our vacation (6 adults). We are completely satisfied. Before starting our trip, we had a few questions. We wrote this to Marieke and Leo and received an immediate reply. So we already had a good feeling about the apartment. The apartment is even nicer than in the pictures. Three Bedrooms with Air condition und 3 bathrooms (all three with toilets and 2 of them with showers). We doesnt needed the last bed. A wonderful kitchen and a large living room. Everything is new, neat and clean. We felt very comfortable. We could always reach Marieke and Leo with questions and they gave us many tips what to discover in the area. We: - grilled in the garden - did a great board tour - went swimming in different places (one is just 50m away from the apartment) - visit different places - visit Amsterdam - did bike rides All in all we were happy with everything. Thank you Marieke und Leo that you make it so easy for us to have a wonderful holiday. If it were possible we would give you more than 5 stars. :)

Perfect Countryside Getaway

We recently spent a week at this charming property. Communications with the owners ahead of time was quick and responsive. We were met as we arrived and shown around the property. They were happy to answer any questions and had prepared for us a recommendation list of nearby restaurants and things to do locally. The home was charming, bright and clean. Every amenity was provided for. Comfy beds for up to eight people. A spacious public living/dining room. A full kitchen with all equipment necessary to prepare a meal, and even access to an outdoor grill. The house is very comfortable and it is easy to feel at home during your stay. The home is located about a half hour outside Amsterdam, close to the village of Monnickendam. Public transport is available from the village to Amsterdam and points elsewhere, which we took advantage of for a day trip to Amsterdam. Again, the owners were very helpful as to where to park in the village and how to access the bus system. There is ample parking at the home for any rental vehicle you may have. The home is situated in canaled farm land. it is peaceful, quiet and quite lovely. There is local milk and eggs that can be purchased from a nearby farm and you will see many ducks, swans, sheep and cows nearby. Book this property with confidence. It is perfect if one is looking for a quiet place to relax away from the hustle of Amsterdam, yet still convenient to places you want to visit. Say hello to Sasha and Timmy for us! Thank you!

Leo and Marieke are wonderfully kind and attentive hosts. The property is spacious and situated in the stunning Dutch countryside on a quiet road. All the windows let in such a beautiful light throughout the day. We absolutely loved it. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms large. The house is located near the quaint towns of Monnickendam and Edam-Volendam, as well as Broek in Waterland. All these villages offer very nice restaurants (often followed by evening strolls by the canals). Amsterdam central is a very easy 30 minute bus trip. Coming home each day to this wonderful home was PERFECT.

Wunderschönes Haus, dass liebevoll eingerichtet ist. Alles sauber und Tip Top ! Es liegt sehr idyllisch mitten in der Natur, sodass man sofort entspannen kann. Fussläufig gibt es einen Bootsverleih, der sehr zu empfehlen ist. Wir haben einen 3,5 stündigen Bootstrip durch die Kanäle gemacht. In der Umgebung gibt es niedliche kleine Orte. Mit dem Bus ist man in schnell in Amsterdam und kann so auch die Grossstadt genießen. Wir waren alle sehr glücklich dort !

Schönes Ferienhaus

Check in und out völlig unkompliziert, da Eigentümer direkt Tür an Tür wohnen, so dass auch die Ankunftszeit flexibel gestaltet werden konnte. Eigentümer Marieke und Leo sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, das Haus sehr sauber und es war alles da, was man braucht. Etwas mehr Gemütlichkeit könnte im Haus geschaffen werden, z.B. mit echten statt Plastikblumen, aber diese dienen wohl der einfacheren Pflege und Hygiene. Die Lage ist jedoch weit außerhalb, so dass man auf sein Auto angewiesen ist. Die ca 4,5 km bis nach Monnickendam waren mit Kleinkindern zu Fuß nicht zu bewältigen, zumal wir auch großes Pech mit dem Wetter hatten (Regen und Sturm). Amsterdam sehr unkompliziert und schnell von Monnickendam mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Alles in allem tolle drei Tage mit der Familie in einem schönen Ferienhaus...

Delightful and comfortable accommodation - Great hosts

We had a fantastic week in this wonderful location. The house is just as beautiful and pleasant as it is shown in the pictures, located in a peaceful, calm environment. There is enough space for families or groups to enjoy time in the house or in the garden. Our children loved spending time both in- and outside. Everything was clean, of high quality and in great shape. The house is just perfect for bike-, boat- or hiking tours in a relaxing, pretty landscape full of water, green, farmyards (with happy livestock) and picturesque villages. Restaurants of every category are as good reachable as beaches or Amsterdam, which is 15-20 min by bus or car. We especially enjoyed the kindness of our hosts. Marieke and Leo gave as a warm welcome, helpful instructions and were very careful and sympathetic concerning COVID-challenges. We had good feeling during the whole time and a great stay in general.

The location offers opportunities for great trips to the beautiful small cities in the surrounding: best to explore by bike.
