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 :)

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.

Gem in the Countryside

What a lovely gem we discovered!! It was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing to come back to each day as we explored Amsterdam and the surrounding area. House was very cozy and comfortable with beautiful views of the local canal and farmland, so serene to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee taking it all in. The hosts were absolutely amazing, respecting our space but warm and friendly and willing to go out of their way to help us find bus routes to places we might like to visit and offer suggestions too, which were great. We hope to return again sometime to experience the region in a different season and this is top on our list as a home away from home base. My deepest thanks and gratitude to them for making our stay so lovely.

We found this place to be a great location. Easy access to the city via bus. A great little grocery store close by. Our hosts were very helpful and provided information based on our interests. We explored north of Holland on the two bikes that were available to us. Holland is beautiful place to explore. We would definitely recommend this place to stay. The house is very spacious with a beautiful kitchen and sitting room facing the water. It is located in a very quiet area.

Spectacular place near Amsterdam

Everything about this cottage is wonderful. You are just a short bus ride to Amsterdam (nothing compares with the ease of the Dutch transit system), yet you are right on a canal with a gorgeous view of farmland and a long, long view to the horizon. The town itself, Broek in Waterland, is one of the sweetest in all of Holland and has two excellent restaurants. The owners of the property, George and Lia, live in the house next door and are two of the nicest people you will meet. We really can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is.

4 weeks in Holland

This was a wonderful stay. Lia and George were great hosts and very helpful. The area was peaceful and a nice reprieve from the city. My favorite part was sitting on the deck and watching the sheep and geese. The deck sits right on top of the canal, it’s private, so the sounds of the water and the wild life made it that much more serene. Using public transportation, it’s an easy ride to Amsterdam, the airport, and other parts of Holland. I visited Haarlem, The Hague, Delft, and Rotterdam in my time. I also went to the beach a couple times when the weather was nice. Lia and George were wondering and welcoming. I arrived at a great time and got the chance to meet the baby sheep and watch the sheep getting sheered. It was an incredible and unforgettable adventure.

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!

Friendly and helpful hosts. Clean and pleasant property with nice views from the deck. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain so didn’t really get to enjoy the deck. Has off road parking but parking area and outside would benefit from a tidy up. We had a few issues with the tv signal but hope George and Lia have sorted that by now.

We had such a wonderful stay here! The house is beautiful and the village looks like an illustration for a book of fairy tales. Also super easy to get into Amsterdam- about a half hour on public transport. George and Lia went above and beyond as hosts. They were very friendly and helpful and even made the extremely kind offer to let us stay an extra night after transport difficulties meant that we arrived late. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone considering!

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.

The Cottage

Lia and George were excellent hosts, right from our arrival. Even though we arrived early Lia did her utmost to prepare our accommodation. The Cottage is well equipped and clean. Right on the canal with farm animals, birds and ducks to watch. It truly is a relaxing location. A restorative place after a chaotic visit to Amsterdam. Amsterdam itself offered plenty to do and was a short bus trip away. On leaving, we were offered a ride closer to our train and it felt as though we were leaving friends behind. I highly recommend this Cottage! We hope to return some day.
