This beautifully rural six-person holiday home is located in the charming village of Zuidveen, a short distance from picturesque Giethoorn. You rent the front house of a spacious characteristic farmhouse, surrounded by peace, space and nature. Lovers of boating, canoeing, sailing, cycling and walking can enjoy themselves to the full here. Right behind the garden are the extensive nature reserves National Park Weerribben Wieden and De Auken, where you can stroll endlessly through marsh forests, reed beds and along winding waterways. In the summer months, it is possible to climb the Steenwijker Tower, one of the highest church towers in the Netherlands, which can even be seen from the living room. The striking Jugendstil Villa Rams Woerthe with its Hildo Krop Museum in Steenwijk is also well worth a visit. Within ten minutes you are in Giethoorn, known for its picturesque canals, wooden bridges, cosy shops, museums, atmospheric restaurants and waterside terraces. A boat trip on the nearby De Beulaeker lake is highly recommended. Zuidveen itself is a quiet and friendly village with rural charm and makes an excellent base for varied day trips in the region. For a pleasant terrace or an afternoon of shopping, you can go to Meppel with its cosy town centre, attractive canals and nice boutiques, Heerenveen with its varied range of shops and restaurants, or Zwolle, a historic Hanseatic city with a rich culture, good museums and many cosy eateries. In short, this location offers the perfect combination of tranquillity, nature, culture and lively excursion possibilities.
