Giethoorn (Wanneperveen) Luxurious apartment
The check-in was straightforward and all the important information was super prepared. The highlight is the view over the water and the terrace, from which you can access the lake directly via a ladder. We were already there for the second time and would be happy to come back.

Unique romantic cottage with veranda and wood-burning stove
Do not hesitate to go there! It is the perfect getaway! Everything is well thought, well decorated, we felt so quickly at home and at peace. There are some houses and neighbours around the house but you might only see them when you arrive and leave. The place is private and quiet. The view is exactly like the picture, we spent evenings looking at the sky, the birds, the rabbits and the cows. A great place 😊

Apartment on the waterfront A
The apartment was exactly as in the pictures. Good stuff, everything clean and fresh. Beautiful light apartment. Host Jurgen is great! Super friendly, quickly accessible and flexible. Highly recommended.

Spoondler 2pers app 500mtr- Wadden Sea and reserves
First of all, Alex, Liz and their parents are really very warm and caring for their guests. They can be reached at any time. Thanks to their welcome, we immediately felt like we were on vacation. The apartment is very nice and decorated with care and good taste. The kitchen is well-equipped and sunny for breakfast and starting a beautiful day. The garden is beautiful and there are plenty of small discreet corners where you can sit. It was an enchanting break and we hope to return.

Freely located holiday home in quiet area
We had an excellent stay! We were visiting family and exploring Friesland and this place was the perfect place for us to stay while doing so! Hella is so welcoming and greeted us when we arrived. The location was peaceful and relaxing with a beautiful view of a pond in the backyard and there were beautiful trails near the Airbnb. The Airbnb was an excellent home away from home while we traveled and if we were visiting in the area again we would definitely want to stay there again!

Lekker Sliepe
We had a really nice stay with great views and a cozy, private balcony with evening sun. The decor is very tasteful and modern, the apartment is clean and well maintained, the hosts are very friendly and make really delicious ice cream 😉 We will be happy to come back!

Renovated apartment with fantastic views.
Jan-Warner's apartment in one word: magnificent! A bright, light-flooded, tasteful, modern, furnished apartment. Of course, everything was clean and functional. For example, we have never found such a well-equipped kitchen in a vacation apartment. The whole apartment is furnished with attention to detail. But the location is unbeatable! Directly on the Sneeker Meer, at the corner of Princess Margret Canal and Starter Eiland. And in the apartment or on the terrace, an unobstructed view of the colorful hustle and bustle of the sailing and motor boats, as well as the commercial shipping. Even in bad weather, it was never boring with this view. Beautiful tours through the Frisian villages and lakes are possible by bike in the immediate vicinity. It is just 15-20 minutes by bike to Sneek itself.

Cozy & tough apartment "De Oliekan" M
We were completely satisfied and felt welcome 🤗 The location is perfect, in the center and yet very quiet. We recommend this accommodation 🤩

Nice house on the Boarne, near the Frisian lakes
This is our second time staying at this lovely cottage in Airling, which says a lot — we rarely return to the same place twice, but our first stay here was so wonderful that we just had to come back. The area is incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to truly relax and unwind. The cottage may be small, but it has absolutely everything you might need — every little thing is thoughtfully provided, and somehow, whatever you're looking for, you always find it right there. Evenings by the canal are absolutely priceless — calm, beautiful, and unforgettable. Thank you Gisela & Frank!

Idyllic monumental farmhouse in Giethoorn
Wonderful weekend in Dwarsgracht, despite the rain We had a fantastic weekend in the cottage on the Dwarsgracht, despite the weather not always cooperating. The cottage was comfortable and cozy, and the location is beautiful — even with rain it is enjoyable in this area. What really made the stay special was Eva's hospitality. She was incredibly relaxed and open, even with our animal gang. We immediately felt welcome and comfortable. It's so nice when you come somewhere and find that you are not only tolerated, but really seen and appreciated. Thank you Eva, for your warmth and hospitality! We'd love to come back — hopefully with some more sun next time. 🌦️🐾

Idyllic Country House to IJsselmeer
We spent very nice days in this beautiful house. The terrace directly on a small canal with a view over the meadows offered pure relaxation. The area is ideal for cycling along the canals and blooming tulip fields. Trudi was a very nice and attentive host. Thank you! Maria and Heiko

Characteristic fisherman's house close to downtown
Great apartment, very nicely decorated. It was not one of the usual very clean anonymous apartments, but simply a home.

Cozy cottage in the city center and on the water in Sneek
Although I did not meet Gea in person, the contact with her was very pleasant. She responds directly and is very helpful and kind. The cottage is to fall in love with. Very nicely decorated and you really have everything you need. It smells fresh and clean. It is such a cottage where you feel right at home, cozy! You have a private terrace on the water where you can sit. The center, there you are walking in a few minutes. The location is perfect. Highly recommended!

Unique house with Wellness in authentic Farmhouse
We enjoyed the time very much and did many small bike rides. The accommodation is beautiful, quiet and very idyllically located. However, we would not stay in the property again with 5 adults. The loft bed is more suitable for children and unfortunately we were not able to sleep so well, as there was no air coming up under the roof at night (despite the open window) and it became very warm and stuffy. With children, you can definitely recommend the accommodation! :)

Quietly located holiday home in beautiful Oostwoud.
What a fantastic lcation to relax en enjoy a peacefull vacation. Lovely place to spend 2 days with our dogs. Also a great host, easy going and helpfull. If you are passing by it is worth the stay.

The Carriage House near Leeuwarden

B&B Warnser Hoekje
Very nice accommodation. It was amazingly clean and it smelled good. Internet speed is ~200 Mbits, more than sufficient. Johanna was very friendly and was already waiting for us at the property. She always tried to make our stay as nice as possible. Beautiful quiet location. What should possibly be considered for the stay: The bedroom is open. There is no door or similar between the rest of the accommodation.

Probably the best IJsselmeer view in Friesland!
It was super nice. The accommodation is beautifully located with a unique view of the IJsselmeer. This also means constant fresh air, wind, and the sound of the water. We loved that. There is also a beach on the dike for swimming. Good beds, great kitchen and shower, nice living room to relax. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday is there. We have also thought of the dog. We'd love to come back.

By the Haven op Urk
Absolutely beautiful and spacious place to stay right at the harbour in the heart of the old town of Urk We loved it and could have stayed much longer-felt like home

Luxury apartment with harbor view for 4 persons
Great place for a weekend trip. The flat is nice and Remco is a really friendly guy!

Unique! Enjoy Views, Water, Nature and Peace
We felt very comfortable at the place:) Beautiful surroundings!

Apartment with spacious private balcony on the water
We were received in a very friendly manner and felt right at home. The apartment is well equipped and above all we loved the large terrace. The view is simply a dream!!! We would come back anytime. Thank you for everything.

Spacious, stylish apartment Bakboord; 2-4 pers
We have often rented the accommodation in the last few months, which we liked very much.

Guest house in the North Frisian countryside
We felt very comfortable at Linda's. The house and garden have a special charm. It was exactly as we had wished and expected. Many thanks to Linda!!
