Holiday rentals with a kayak in Europe

Beautiful thatched roof house with a view of the Bodden. Very tastefully furnished, everything you need is there (only a dishwasher would be great for longer stays). A special highlight for us was the fireplace, sauna and peace. Franziska and Tom were always easy to reach and great hosts. We will be happy to come back again sometime

Totally wonderful stay, absolutely beautiful, tranquil surroundings gorgeous setting in a wonderful peaceful location. Idyllic petite cottage with lovely outside space, walks, cycling, and rambling a must. Only critique would be Wi-Fi which really is non existent but then again it’s not a deal breaker. La dolce vita en France 🇫🇷!

Even better than the photos. I’ve been waiting years to find a weekend at this place and it was worth it. Glorious.

We cannot express how much we loved our stay at Saverio’s. It was absolutely PERFECT! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The home itself was beautiful in construction, clean, stylishly decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including little extras like fresh coffee, teas, local advertisements for restaurants, and also recommended the local grocery for toiletries or food items. Saverio’s home couldn’t be in a better location, tucked in a charming part of the countryside with views that will take your breath away and make you fall in love with this part of Italy. Even being out-of-town, you are close to everything. The town of Magione has a wonderful and friendly restaurant with fantastic pizza and entrees- I Cento Passi. Saverio, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, we are grateful for the experience.

In a haven of tranquility by the river, an adorable little house absolutely in line with the description of the ad, ideal for a couple, awaited us. Aleksa and Alexandre are very charming and welcoming hosts. For a future stay, we would prefer the other house at the end of their land, which has a garden and a more private terrace, offering more privacy and direct access to the river. The walk with the canoe provided is a real plus with its green and bucolic environment. The center of Chartres and its cathedral are 15 minutes away by car and the castle of Maintenon, which is worth the detour, is 35 minutes away. Loved our stay!

A beautiful place in an incredible location on the island of Vis. We really enjoyed our time watching sunsets over the water on the balcony, swimming on the beach below, and paddling using the Kayaks that Boris provides. Boris is an incredibly helpful host and very responsive to any questions you have about the island or activities.

The house is literally right at the water. The final drive down to the house is extremely steep, and with a larger vehicle it was a challenge to turn the car around. We became pros at this about halfway through our 15-night stay!! With only three of us in the house, we had plenty of room. We thoroughly enjoyed the two living rooms (first and second levels). We also enjoyed the multiple decks to sit out and enjoy the water sounds. We used the outside table by the pool a few times and appreciated the extra shade provided by the electric awning. The pool was a bit cold for us, but we did use it. The lichen had everything we needed, which we appreciated. The house far exceeded our expectations!! Rania was very helpful, as she provided great suggestions for restaurants, activities, etc.

Such a dreamy and cozy house! The view from the house was stunning (including from the jacuzzi). Also super well equipped. Petter was a great host and provided some local tips. Thanks a lot for the stay! We will definitely recommend the place!

We were warmly greeted by Alain and Clair on arrival – they couldn’t have been more welcoming, and their kindness really set the tone for our stay. The setting was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, a real escape from the hustle and bustle. The highlight for us was sitting and looking out at the river and waterfall right next to the property – the view was stunning and the sound of the water was so soothing. We left feeling completely relaxed and recharged. Highly recommended!

We had high expectations from poring over photos and reviews of Banc-yr-Eithin prior to our stay and it somehow managed to exceed them. The cottage and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and the facilities are incredible, you want for nothing during your stay here. Highlights include watching the birds at the feeders, the treehouse, the underfloor heating in the bathroom, the sauna, the games room in the barn, waking to the sound of birdsong, I could go on! Sussanah and Hugh are the perfect hosts, they were incredibly helpful both prior to and during our stay. We were staying with a relative with health issues and limited mobility and they were extremely helpful in ensuring that he was comfortably accommodated. They dealt with this issue with compassion, discretion and kindness. We were incredibly grateful to get to sample Hugh's cinnamon buns and they did not disappoint! They were delicious and much appreciated. Thank you for an incredible stay, we can't wait to return soon!

Fantastic place - beautiful view! The place had that little extra both inside and out.

We spent 10 days in the beautiful accommodation. The location is fantastic. Two fantastic lakes within throwing distance, which you can explore directly on foot. The house is just incredibly beautiful. Every detail is well thought out, you just feel welcome - everything is prepared as if you are visiting friends. Thanks for that! 🍀

Great and cozy place to stay. We felt very comfortable. If you had any questions, Per was easy to reach and gave great tips for the area and good fishing spots. We'll be back.

Small paradise in the middle of Swedish nature. Jennifer and Linus are lovely and friendly people who let us enjoy their nice guest house with sauna, jetty and a kanoe. I hope to come back some time again.

We had a very lovely stay in Jisp with Esther and Marc. Spacious accommodation in such a peaceful location. Our hosts were fantastic, so accommodating and helpful. We made the best of the weather with several days of cycling and relaxing. Public transport is excellent as to be expected. We would love to come back and explore more of North Holland.

We had a great stay at Steen and Karen-Helle's place! The house is secluded behind a hill so you are completely free of roads and neighbors. From the large patio you have a great view of the lake. Rustic feeling but with all the modernities you need (fast internet, sound system, smart TV, etc). Plenty of sleeping places. Big plus for the spacious and well-equipped kitchen + 3 barbecues that we could cook hearty dinners in! We thought maybe 1€/wood for the stove/sauna was a bit expensive, but it wasn't that much for us anyway so it didn't matter too much.

Great stay at Christoffer’s place - a real gem and we cannot wait to go back. Christoffer’s hospitality is amazing and we felt extremely welcomed and at home for our entire stay. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to visit again!

The accommodation is absolutely recommended!😊 We felt totally comfortable and were able to switch off from the stressful everyday life. The view of the lake, the tranquility, the nature, the area and the little adventure with the outdoor shower and the outhouse made it so special. While we were there, there were an incredible number of caterpillars. It didn't bother us and it was probably just seasonal, but it could be a problem for someone, so I'm mentioning it here. Otherwise, it was so great!😍

I had a very cozy and relaxing stay. The cabin itself is very beautifully designed, equipped with the appliances and amenities that made the stay very effortless. I’d highly recommend this forest cabin to anyone needing a break from city life, a creative reset, or just a chance to slow down and be present.

We stayed in Arild's cabin for three days. The communication and reception were efficient and very friendly. The cabin is a wonderful place. Directly on the fjord, quiet, beautiful view. Everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

This place is an absolute gem! It’s so incredibly cozy and remote and the hosts have thought of everything. They were very responsive if we had any concerns or questions. The hot tub is a little bit of work if you want to use it. Don’t be stubborn like my husband and try to start the fire for it in the rain, but beautiful once you get it going. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful Norwegian stay.

We have enjoyed this week so much. Get up in the morning and watch the sunrise, have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the river, swim in the river, go to the beach in the afternoon and watch the sunset in the evening and go to the great fish restaurant next door or on the beach. Just relax. We liked it so much that not even the construction work on the neighboring house could bother us. It's really fantastic and a real tip. If it wasn't so far away, we'd be back soon.

The cabin is gorgeous and the view is even better. Everything was sparkling clean and it's clear that the host takes good care of the place – every last detail is thought out. Highly recommended!

Very nice hosts and a very nice traditional and well equipped cabin in very beautiful surroundings. We especially enjoyed the outdoors soundings with fire place, wood-fired hot tub and fishing opportunity.
