Amsterdam Retreat

We loved our stay here. We were able to enjoy Amsterdam and get away from all the chaos in this charming place just minutes away. It was easy to get there by bus and about 0.5 miles to the property. George and Lia were wonderful hosts!

Gorgeous property, very clean and comfortable. Being able to borrow the bikes at no extra cost was wonderful.It was extremely hot when we arrived and the next day so we very much appreciated the air conditioning.Having a car would be better than on foot as we were, but the bus to the city wasn’t too difficult. Wonderful hosts, attentive and caring yet allowed us privacy.I would definitely stay here again if we were back to Amsterdam.May I recommend a visit to Utrecht, as I absolutely loved it. I also thoroughly enjoyed the lighthouse at Marken. I cycled there but my teenage daughter declined the offer, it was a tough ride but I am very glad I went. Absolutely gorgeous.Thank you George and Lia :)

Amazing place…hope to come back!

This cottage is just as described…actually better. Great beds, peaceful, quaint location, very homey and near public transportation. Phenomenal communication with the hosts and they went above and beyond. This was part of a multi-country trip but we are hoping to return for an extended stay at the cottage. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Cottage

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at George and Lia’s cottage. The cottage was well equipped and we loved the bucolic view of farm animals across the canal. Broek in Waterland is a charming village, rural in character yet very convenient to Amsterdam. We had a rental car and found this location perfect for exploring both north and south Holland. We give this cottage our highest recommendation.

The hidden gem

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Amsterdam and in George's and Lia's lovely cottage. Thank you so much for everything! Amsterdam was charming, but even more we fell in love with the little village of Broek in Waterland, the neighboring villages and our cute cottage by the canal. We are already planning our next trip for autumn - and then we definitely want to have more time to ride a bike and sit on the terrace of the cottage for watching the activities of the animals. I hope to see you again soon, George & Lia! You are great hosts!

Absolutely breathtaking!

My husband and I had such an incredible stay here. The location is gorgeous and it's quite easy to get to neighboring villages and Amsterdam from there. Every day we took advantage of the available bikes to explore. It was such a nice way to see the area. The hosts were gracious and gave us a lovely tour of the property. We visited the sheep and horses. It was so cool to see the work they do to protect migratory birds that use their lands for important breeding and foraging. We came away with so many lovely memories of the sweeping landscape, lovely skyline, and a great respect for hosts George and Lia. They are wonderful people and the VRBO was the best rental we've ever experience.

A slice of heaven...

Do yourself a massive favour and stay here. This cottage is adorable and so cozy. George and Lia are absolutely lovely and have outfitted the cottage with everything you could possibly need. The bed is so comfortable too! Honestly, we could have moved in and abandoned our lives back home. We loved the morning views of the sheep and ducks... Broek in Waterland is really easy to get to and the transit system to visit other towns (or Amsterdam) is incredible user-friendly. We'll be back!!! Christina and Christopher

Perfectly Peaceful

Lia and George's cottage is located directly on a canal, on a quiet street in a pretty village. It is conveniently located close to the bus line which will get you to Amsterdam's Noord Station within 10 minutes. Plus, it is an easy drive from here to Volendam, Edam, Zaanse Schans, Keukenhof and so much more. Our stay was perfectly peaceful ... we loved being surrounded by nature, watching the ducks and swans swim by, and keeping an eye on the sheep and horses across the canal. We had everyhing we needed in the kitchen, the bed was very comfortable and the sitting area was cozy. George and Lia are very friendly and super helpful! They explained the public transit system, gave wonderful advice on places to visit, eat or get groceries, and helped when our rental car needed service. They are the perfect hosts! If you enjoy nature, country living, getting away from the hustle and bustle (but not being too far away from the action), we would highly recommended staying at Lia and George's cottage!

Our stay in Broek with hosts George and Lia

Terrific. What a great experience. Only 10-15 minutes away by bus from the central station with everyone so helpful. Allowed us to enjoy the Amsterdam experience and yet get away to enjoy the countryside’s charms. The lodgings were a self contained apartment separate from the main residence of our hosts. We had complete privacy but they were there to help in any way possible. We did not use the provided bicycles. The weather and winds prevented use of the canoe. You need to get the pass for all the transport on both sides of the central station but well worth the extra access to all the areas outside Amsterdam. Not to be missed. Remember 2 UNESCO designated sites in the area. Thank you Lia and George for making our stay so memorable.

super Lage, idyllisch, trotzdem nah an Amsterdam, rundum zufrieden

Für uns hat alles gepasst. Die Wohnung ist ideal für 2 Personen und geräumig. Alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Idyllisch in der Natur. Schöne Terrasse mit Blick auf Felder, Schafe, Kanal. In Amsterdam ist man mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln innerhalb von weniger als 30 Minuten. Bus-Anbindung ca. 10min zu Fuß entfernt. Oder super Ausgangslage, wenn man mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs sein will.

Ideal Spot for Exploring

We stayed for almost two weeks and found this to be an ideal spot. The hosts were extremely helpful and extremely kind. The cottage is a beautiful little home on the canal. What a restful spot. Another great thing is the ready access to everywhere else. Within half an hour we coulb be in Central Amsterdam. When we got tired of the bustle, we were only half an hour away from peace and calm.

Wundervolle Tage

Das kleine Ferienhäuschen liegt sehr idyllisch und doch so nahe an Amsterdam. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Mit dem Bus sind es tatsächlich nur 15 Min. bis ins Zentrum von Amsterdam und die Busse sind eng getaktet. Auch wenn man keine Lust auf den Trubel der Stadt hat, kann man in der näheren Umgebung vieles entdecken und unternehmen. Lia und Georges sind sehr freundliche und unkomplzierte Gastgeber.
