Description
We live in a small village in the middle of the green heart of Holland, surrounded by a nature reserve and big lake. You can swim, hike, sail, row, skate or bike lovely here. It is 45 minutes to Amterdam, Utrecht, Leiden, Rotterdam from here by car, a bit more by bike (but possible) or public transport.
We live in a newly renovated 16-17th century village villa, where a part was rebuilt as a separatie studio, containing a livingroom/ kitchen area, and a bedroom, with separate small bath room.
The house is finished :-) the garden needs work...
We are a family with Mom (working as a pediatrician), Son of 18 (trying to get his exams) , daughter of 16 (exploring living and learning) a lovely dog and cat.
We like traveling, kids are biliingual (german and dutch).
We are looking for someone who can make the garden into a romantic getaway.

Accommodation
There is a brand new studio available, with a kitchen, small living area, bedroom and separate bathroom with toilet. You have your own entrance.
It is possible to stay here with two (or a couple).
We would prefer to offer the studio, but not share food. The supermarket is around the corner.
Of course on occasion we would love to host you, and get to know you, for instance once a week, but not on a daily basis, we like our privacy, you might too.

We are a non smoking, sporadic and low alcoholicusers en non - drug users house. Those are the rules...!
The house must stay as nice as it is. So keep it nice and tidy please...!
