    Description

    Hi, my name is Sanne and I run a glamping together with my husband Marco in the north of The Netherlands. We have three daughters (8, 11 and 18 years old). In the summer, many guests visit our place, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. We live close to the IJsselmeer and Frisian lakes. Lemmer (around 20 minutes by bicycle) is a nice touristic town.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can show you around the beautiful area of Friesland in the north of The Netherlands and we're happy to teach you a few words Dutch (or more if you like :-) If you are thinking about setting up your own glamping business in the future, we are happy to tell you more about our experiences.

    Help

    Because we work full-time in the glamping season, we are looking for help with our youngest two daughters in July and August. Making them food, driving them to sports/activities, arts & crafts, etc. We will be around if needed as the glamping is around our house.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will be sleeping in a glamping tent with bedding. Toilets and showers are shared with our guests at the campsite, they are luxurious and very clean. You will be able to share a meal with our family, participate in the campsite meals (we offer our guests pizza and BBQ evenings) or make your own dinner if you prefer.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    During your time off, you can rent a bike and discover Friesland. You can also visit Amsterdam (around 1 hour away) or other Dutch cities, we can drop you off at the bus/train station. Or you can just relax at our glamping site.

    In terms of house rules, our ask is to be home by 23.00 latest on working days. Other that than the rules for our glamping guests would apply (e.g. quiet hours between 23.00 and 9.00). Overall we are pretty flexible and it's more about aligning expectations both ways.
