Abcoude Other | Charming unique private house overlooking pastures near Amsterdam

2 Bedroom Place in Abcoude

Our holiday home is situated in the countryside on a dike next to the picturesque river “Het Gein”. A typical Dutch surrounding with windmills and cos, where you can bike and walk. In the summertime you can swim in the river Het Gein.
Amsterdam is very nearby: with a bike it takes you 5 minutes to subway station Gein, which takes you in 20 minutes to the center of Amsterdam. With a car you can drive in 5 minutes to the P+R subway station of Gaasperplas or to the train station Abcoude or Weesp.
Because our house is so centrally located, all big tourist attractions are within an hour drive, such as Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans, Haarlem, Volendam, Marken, The Hague, Hoge Veluwe, Utrecht and the 'Venice of the North' : Giethoorn etc etc.
The summerhouse (now holiday home) of our farm, which was built in 1865, is situated just 200m from the city border of Amsterdam. On the first (ground)floor there are 2 bedrooms each with an individual bath room, there is a living and a large kitchen with dining table. The folding doors brings you to the big private garden which gives you a panoramic view to the surrounding pastures with grazing sheep and cows.
On the second floor you will find a very spacious loft-like lounge area and large dining table with fire place. There is also a tv with dvd player on both first and second floor.
The house has a rich history: until the 60’s the summerhouse was a cattle shed with hay-loft and the farm was leased by various farmers families. Later the land was sold by the Amsterdam municipality to the famous Dutch sculptor Nel van Lith. On the old hay-loft she gave sculptor lessons to our former Queen Beatrix. From 1995 a garden architect lived here and she designed the English/French romantic garden that is still intact today.

Summary: Four of us - own cars, own bikes. Fabulous house in a wonderful spot. Stephanie is a gracious and delightful host and her holiday home is perfect. Can’t recommend highly enough. Five Stars.

Summary: This surpassed our wildest dreams. Such a well-equipped “little” cottage. So roomy, beautifully decorated, just the perfect place for a family to stay on holiday. One disclaimer, it’s a bit far from Amsterdam and neither train station is all that close. If you don’t have a car, you’ll pay premium for Ubers back and forth. But I would still stay here again in a heartbeat.

Summary: This guest cottage was excellent, with ease of accessibility to metro from both sides of Gwin Nord, which is just on the outskirts of Amsterdam limits. A rental car and parking near the city worked really well, but booking, walking and metro are options if you plan ahead. Also a good access point for those looking to explore outside Amsterdam: we were able to enjoy Düsseldorf, Eindhoven and Antwerp with this well placed VRBO just off A2. The accommodations were fantastic. A very spacious top level living area with wood stove and couch and large dining area, and a main floor with 2BR and 2BA is perfect for traveling families. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat, a scenic escape from the busyness and bustle of central Amsterdam, and a wonderful place to relax both inside and outdoors. Five stars!

Summary: A lovely house in a peaceful location. Spent a happy week here with my husband and adult daughter. House well equipped, especially the mosquito nets which were definitely needed but they worked as I didn’t get any bites! We enjoyed relaxing in the evening in the upstairs living room. Weren’t able to use the garden as much as we would have liked due to the weather but did sit outside a couple of times and enjoyed watching the wildlife and listening to the birds - first time I’ve ever heard a cuckoo! Only a 10 minute drive to Weesp where we caught the train to Amsterdam. Stephanie was a great host and answered my questions before we travelled very promptly. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Summary: There is a lovely garden with a deck where we are entertained by the birds, the mallards, the cows and the flowers . Very convenient location, we can always find a great outdoor cafe for lunch. We like the kitchen, which is large and has a gas stove.

Summary: We spent three weeks here using this charming home as a base for our travels throughout various parts of the Netherlands. It is easy to reach Amsterdam from here and our host provided us with great details about getting to and from the city. Stephanie was responsive when an issue arose with the hot water and she kept us up-to-date when a local marathon forced a road closure. The home had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. If you are looking for a quiet country get-away, in a charming setting this is the perfect place for you.

Summary: Stephanie’s place is an amazing converted barn surrounded by a lovely garden and farmland. The location is convenient to Amsterdam (25 min by train) and a short run or drive to the quaint town of Weesp. She takes pride in her property and is extremely helpful with local tips and ideas of things to do in the area. Be sure to walk to the local dairy farm for some Tasty cheeses, yogurt and milk. Very comfortable for our family of four to stay in for multiple days. We will be back!
