    Mediocre vacation park,

    The cottage wasn’t clean and was extremely noisy—to give you an idea: if you walk through the house in socks, the little paintings on the wall rattle and the sound echoes throughout the entire house. While showering, the showerhead was right on my head because the bottom bracket had broken off. The caulk joints and … the rest of the bathroom were downright filthy. There wasn’t enough bedding on the bed to make it up. You pay for a high chair (which I’m fine with), but you have to clean it yourself… what I do find concerning is the fire extinguisher, which should have been inspected over a year ago and whose pressure gauge is already at the very bottom. I tried to bring this up at the front desk, but the “salesman”—as he calls himself—can’t (or won’t) do anything for you… at least write down the number of our cottage!!

    The waterfront location is very beautiful. The main road is a bit noisy, but there’s nothing you can do about that.

    Matig vakantiepark,

    Huisje niet schoon en enorm gehorig, om iedereen een beeld te geven: als je op sokken door huis loopt rammelen de schilderijtjes aan de muur en dreunt het hele huis door. Tijdens het douchen de douchekop op mijn hoofd gehad omdat de onderste beugel afgebroken was. Kitnaden en de rest van de badkamer ronduit smerig. Niet genoeg beddengoed op bed liggen om je bed op te maken. Je betaald geld voor een kinderstoel (wat ik prima vind) maar je moet de stoel zelf schoonmaken… wat ik wel zorgwekkend vind is de brandblusser die ruim een jaar geleden nagekeken had moeten worden, en waarvan de drukmeter al compleet onderin staat. Geprobeerd dit aan te geven bij de receptie, maar meneer de “verkoper” zoals hij zichzelf noemt kan niks (of wil niks) voor je doen… schrijf op z’n minst het nummer van ons huisje op!!

    Locatie aan het water erg mooi. De grote weg is wel gehorig maar daar kunnen jullie ook niks aan veranderen.

    A very lovely little park with a variety of house types in the nature reserve. We stayed in a beautiful, modern villa—it had everything we needed. Located right on the water—simply fantastic.

    Sehr schöner kleiner Park mit verschiedenen Häusertypen im Naturschutzgebiet. Wir hatten eine schöne moderne Villa , es fehlte an nichts. Direkt am Wasser gelegen einfach traumhaft.Ideal zum Fahrrad fahren und zum Angeln. Mit eigenem kleinen Yachthafen, wo man sein eigenes Boot mitbringen kann. In der nähe von den schönen Orten Giethoorn, Hasselt und Blokzijl.

    Great vacation home with a few quirks.

    We stayed there for 4 nights and had a wonderful time with a rented electric boat, fishing, and our SUP. Giethoorn (the Venice of the Netherlands) is easily accessible by boat, and you can even dock at the Spar in Giethoorn and go shopping.

    The park is very quiet. With small children, I’d … recommend staying here for no more than 3–4 nights; otherwise, it could get boring quickly.

    Tiny House 328 has a great view of the harbor and the lake. The house and the terrace were in like-new condition and furnished in a modern style.

    Inside the house itself, there were a few things that should be upgraded over time. A poorly positioned light sensor in the bathroom, hooks in the bathroom, and unused storage space under the sink in the bathroom and kitchen could easily be solved by adding a shelf, which would reduce clutter in the tiny house and make the stay more comfortable. For example, our hair dryer and toiletries bag were constantly lying on the bathroom floor.

    Due to the proximity to the water, mosquitoes were a common occurrence in the evening. At the same time, the house heated up significantly because of the sloped ceilings, and even when it cooled down outside in the evening and we could have opened the windows to ventilate, we didn’t do so. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to sleep because of the many mosquitoes. Fly screens on the windows or around the beds, and/or fans or ventilation devices to get the hot air out of the house, would make for a more relaxing vacation. We only had one very hot night during which we could hardly sleep at all with the windows closed and the heat unbearable; if there had been four such nights, the vacation wouldn’t have been restful.

    We also saw some tiny houses at the harbor that had air conditioning and mosquito nets, but then you didn’t have the unobstructed view of the lake.

    If we were to go back, we’d bring a fan and mosquito nets for the beds! The view is worth it!

    Tolles Ferienhaus mit kleinen Macken.

    Wir waren 4 Nächte dort und hatten eine tolle Zeit mit einem gemieteten Elektroboot, angeln und unserem SUP. Giethoorn (Venedig der Niederlande) ist mit dem Boot gut erreichbar, auch kann man mit dem Boot in Giethoorn am Spar anlegen und einkaufen.

    Der Park ist sehr ruhig. Mit kleinen Kindern würde ich hier max. 3-4 Nächte verbringen, könnte sonst schnell langweilig werden.

    Das Tiny Haus 328 hat einen tollen Ausblick auf den Hafen und auf den See. Das Haus und die Terasse waren in einem neuwertigen Zustand und modern eingerichtet.

    Im Haus selbst waren ein paar Dinge die man mit der Zeit nachrüsten sollte. Schlecht positionierter Licht Sensor im Bad, Hacken im Bad, und ungenutzte Staufläche unter dem Waschbecken im Bad und Küche könnten schnell durch ein Regalboden gelöst werden und würde zu weniger Chaos im Tiny Haus sorgen und den Aufenthalt damit gemütlicher werden lassen. Unser Föhn und unsere Kulturbeutel lagen z. B. durchgehend im Bad auf dem Boden.

    Aufgrund der Wassernähe waren Stechmücken am Abend keine Seltenheit, gleichzeitig hat sich das Haus durch die Schrägen sehr stark aufgewärmt und wenn es abends draußen abgekühlt ist und man hätte lüften können, hat man es nicht gemacht. Wegen den vielen Stechmücken hätte man sonst nicht schlafen können. Fliegennetze an den Fenstern oder Fliegennetze um die Betten und / oder Ventilatoren oder Belüftungsgeräte um die heiße Luft aus dem Haus zu bekommen würden einen Urlaub erholsamer gestalten. Wir hatten nur eine sehr heiße Nacht in der wir mit geschlossenen Fenstern und einer unerträglichen Hitze so gut wie garnicht schlafen konnten, bei 4 solcher Nächten wäre der Urlaub nicht erholsam gewesen.

    Wir haben aber auch Tiny Häuser am Hafen gesehen die eine Klimaanlage und Fliegennetze hatten, aber dann halt nicht mehr die freie Sicht auf den See.

    Würden wir nochmal hinfahren, hätten wir einen Ventilator dabei und Fliegennetze für die Betten! Die Aussicht ist es wert!
