Serenity meets comfort

This house is a treasure, charming, calm, and equipped with everything you need. The hosts were kind and helpful. Mornings spent on the patio overlooking the lake were pure magic.


img 5/5.0 04, Sep 2025

Restful and refreshing

This was one of the most restful stays we?ve had. The cottage is modest but perfectly maintained, with clean spaces and comfortable beds. The lake adds such a special atmosphere?paddling across in the morning or just enjoying the view with a coffee. The garden was private and calming, ideal for quiet moments. Being able to combine this tranquility with easy trips into Groningen was a big plus. It?s a refreshing place that helps you slow down and enjoy simple pleasures.


img 3/5.0 27, Aug 2025

Not worth the price

While the view of the lake is great, the inside of the cottage felt dated and basic. For the amount charged, we expected more comfort and better upkeep.


img 2/5.0 19, Aug 2025

Great view, poor house

The garden and view were the highlights, but inside the cottage felt very basic and worn out. The furniture was uncomfortable, and cleanliness could have been much better. If the hosts invested more in the house, it could be amazing. As it stands, it?s disappointing.


img 4/5.0 15, Aug 2025

Great location and charm

We enjoyed our stay in this charming little house. It was well maintained and had everything we needed for a short break. The best part was sitting by the water in the evenings, with a cup of tea, watching the sun go down. A cozy, scenic retreat near Groningen.


img 4/5.0 07, Aug 2025

Comfortable and simple

The house had a simple charm that worked well for us. Everything was tidy, and the beds were comfortable. The lake access was the real highlight?we spent lots of time outdoors. Not the fanciest accommodation, but it offered a comfortable, quiet retreat with beautiful surroundings.


img 5/5.0 03, Aug 2025

A peaceful gem

Waking up to mist floating over the lake was unforgettable. Clean, functional interiors and a sense of calm throughout. Perfect for unwinding, with just enough nearby options to explore without fuss.


img 3/5.0 29, Jul 2025

Lovely lake, poor house

We loved the lake views, but the house itself felt neglected. Cobwebs in corners and a few broken items made it seem uncared for.


img 5/5.0 25, Jul 2025

Perfect lakeside break

The house was everything we wanted in a peaceful getaway. Clean, cozy, and located right by the water. We spent mornings paddling on the lake and evenings reading in the garden. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. It struck the perfect balance between simplicity and comfort. We also liked how close it was to Groningen, making day trips easy. It?s the kind of place where you can slow down and really relax. Highly recommended for couples or families.


img 4/5.0 14, Jul 2025

Relaxing retreat

This is a lovely little house in a wonderful location. It felt private and calm, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the cottage had everything we needed, including a functional kitchen and good beds. It?s simple, but in the best possible way?comfortable and peaceful.


img 5/5.0 10, Jul 2025

Wonderful stay

We stayed here for a weekend and loved it. The cottage was clean, well kept, and the location couldn?t be better. Sitting outside by the water in the evenings was our favorite part. Hosts were friendly and responsive, which made the experience even smoother. Highly recommended.


img 3/5.0 04, Jul 2025

Lovely area, average home

We enjoyed being near the Paterswoldsemeer, but the house itself didn?t match expectations. The living area was cramped, and the sofa uncomfortable. Some kitchen items were missing, making it hard to cook. The garden was nice, but the house definitely needs investment and modernization. Could be so much better with attention to detail.


img 4/5.0 24, Jun 2025

Comfortable lakeside stay

The house is just as pictured, with a cozy layout and lovely view. We enjoyed canoeing right from the property and appreciated the easy access to Groningen for meals. Something to improve? Maybe a few more kitchen utensils, but overall very enjoyable.


img 5/5.0 20, Jun 2025

Perfect weekend retreat

The cottage was exactly what we wanted?quiet, clean, and right by the water. We spent mornings canoeing and evenings in the garden. Indoors, it was comfortable and tidy, with good beds. It?s close enough to Groningen for short trips, but far enough to feel like a true escape.


img 5/5.0 12, Jun 2025

Rejuvenating lakeside stay

We felt instantly at ease. The house had everything functional and comfortable, plus beautiful water views to enjoy at any hour. Peaceful, unhurried, and totally refreshing.


img 3/5.0 03, Jun 2025

Nice setting, poor details

The view outside is amazing, but inside lacked charm. Old kitchen appliances and poor lighting made it feel outdated. Not terrible, but far from ideal.


img 3/5.0 22, May 2025

Nice, quiet place

We had a lovely time at the lakeside cottage. The setting is peaceful, with birdsong and rippling water as background music. Indoors, everything was clean and practical. The house may not be luxurious, but it?s exactly what we wanted for a simple, quiet holiday in nature. Would visit again.


img 5/5.0 16, May 2025

Calming and clean

Arrived frazzled, left refreshed. The place was spotless, bright, and calm. The lake view was restorative. Hosts communicated clearly. A small oasis we?ll remember fondly.


img 5/5.0 08, May 2025

Relaxing holiday

We booked this cottage for a quiet escape, and it delivered on every level. The house itself was tidy, with comfortable furniture and a practical kitchen. The garden opened directly onto the water, and we spent hours just sitting outside enjoying the scenery. Canoeing was a highlight of the trip. The area is peaceful but not too remote, with Groningen nearby for variety. Everything about the stay felt easy and restful. It was the kind of holiday where you truly recharge.


img 5/5.0 01, May 2025

Lovely retreat with thoughtful hosts

From booking to checkout, the hosts were attentive and approachable. The home felt warm and welcoming, with thoughtful touches throughout. Strolling by the lake at sunset was the real highlight, magical and tranquil.


img 4/5.0 29, Apr 2025

Quiet escape with charm

We appreciated the thoughtful layout and how the house captured the lake?s beauty. Handy touches like fast Wi-Fi and clear instructions made settling in easy. A solid choice for a low-stress vacation.


img 5/5.0 23, Apr 2025

Excellent holiday home

We stayed a week and had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located by the lake. Every day we enjoyed the view from the garden and spent time canoeing. The hosts were very kind and made everything easy. Indoors, it was cozy and had everything we needed. The area is peaceful, yet Groningen is close enough for day trips. We?d happily come back again, as it gave us a restful and memorable holiday experience.


img 4/5.0 14, Apr 2025

Cozy and well-situated

The house provided a calm escape from city life. Waking up to the sound of birds and the reflection of the lake was truly relaxing. Indoors, the cottage was cozy and had all the essentials. It isn?t overly luxurious, but it feels homely and welcoming. Great location for combining nature and short trips into Groningen.


img 4/5.0 02, Apr 2025

Good stay overall

This cottage was a good choice for a short getaway. The house itself is simple, but it was clean and had the basics covered. The lake and outdoor space made it feel special. If you?re looking for quiet and scenery, this place does the job well.


img 3/5.0 31, Mar 2025

Calm and comfortable

This was a very pleasant stay overall. The cottage is positioned beautifully by the water, giving us a sense of calm throughout the trip. The garden was a favorite spot, and canoeing was an added bonus. Inside, the home had comfortable beds, a functional kitchen, and a cozy atmosphere. While a bit basic in style, it more than made up for it with location and charm. Close to Groningen, but quiet enough to feel like a proper escape. Very enjoyable experience.


img 2/5.0 25, Mar 2025

Needs improvements

The lake view was fantastic, but the house itself felt dated. Some appliances didn?t work properly, and the bathroom needed attention. For the price, I expected more comfort. It?s a shame because the surroundings are wonderful, but the inside really lets it down.


img 5/5.0 19, Mar 2025

Nature, comfort, and calm

A beautifully maintained cottage with modern amenities and a panoramic view of the water. We spent lazy afternoons paddling and reading in the garden. The space feels intimate yet spacious. Ideal for a restful break in nature.


img 5/5.0 13, Mar 2025

Great spot for families

We brought our kids, and they loved playing in the garden while we enjoyed the view of the lake. The house was cozy, with enough space for everyone. It?s a good mix of comfort and location. We?d definitely book again for a family holiday in the future.


img 4/5.0 08, Mar 2025

Calm retreat with flexibility

Loved the freedom to wander around the grounds and lake. The home was functional and comfortable. Would be great with a few extra hangers, but small detail in an otherwise great place.


img 2/5.0 26, Feb 2025

Too basic

The house offered little more than the essentials, and even those weren?t great. Thin bedding and squeaky doors made the stay uncomfortable.


img 5/5.0 20, Feb 2025

Highly recommended

The cottage exceeded our expectations. The view from the garden was incredible, and the lake created a calming background every day. Indoors, it was cozy, bright, and spotless. We enjoyed the canoe and took daily trips on the water. The hosts were helpful and kind. The combination of nature and convenience made it an excellent choice. Everything felt welcoming, and it gave us the restful holiday we were hoping for. Highly recommended for couples or families looking for peace.


img 2/5.0 14, Feb 2025

Needs serious cleaning

The location is lovely, but the cottage wasn?t very clean. Dust on the shelves and a musty smell in the bathroom made it uncomfortable. A deep clean would improve the experience.


img 4/5.0 05, Feb 2025

Quiet and homely

This is a lovely spot for those who enjoy peace and quiet. The house was homely and well-equipped, with a nice garden to relax in. It?s close enough to Groningen to explore but far enough to feel like an escape. Overall, a very restful and pleasant stay.


img 5/5.0 28, Jan 2025

Beautifully calm getaway

This house was exactly what we needed. The calm atmosphere, the lake just outside, and the garden made for a very relaxing experience. The cottage was cozy and practical, with comfortable furniture. Being close to Groningen gave us a nice mix of city outings and peaceful downtime. A perfect balance.


img 5/5.0 20, Jan 2025

Thoughtfully furnished, restful

The cottage felt well-loved and cared for, bright bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and soft linens. The lake and garden made mornings and evenings so peaceful. Excellent hosts and a rejuvenating experience.


img 5/5.0 14, Jan 2025

Lakeside paradise

Staying at this cottage was one of the most relaxing trips we?ve had in years. The location is unbeatable, right on the water, with a garden perfect for quiet mornings. Indoors, everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. The beds were cozy, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed canoeing on the lake, followed by peaceful evenings watching the sunset. The balance of privacy and easy access to Groningen was ideal. A true gem for anyone needing rest.


img 2/5.0 09, Jan 2025

Disappointing stay

The outdoor space was charming, but indoors it was another story. Dirty dishes left in cupboards and a leaking faucet really spoiled the mood of the trip.


img 3/5.0 04, Jan 2025

Relaxing holiday

We had a really nice time at the cottage. It?s quiet, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature. The facilities were good, and the house felt cozy and practical. It?s not fancy, but that?s part of the charm. Would happily recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet.


img 4/5.0 22, Dec 2024

Great location, cozy house

Located right on the Paterswoldsemeer, this house was perfect for relaxing walks and scenic moments. The interiors were simple yet functional. The proximity to Haren and Groningen made dining out easy. A peaceful and practical retreat.


img 5/5.0 11, Dec 2024

Peaceful getaway

The cottage is right by the water and offers a very relaxing setting. Everything was tidy and the garden made mornings really special. It?s a quiet spot but still close to amenities. A great choice if you?re looking to escape the busy city life for a while.


img 4/5.0 02, Dec 2024

Comfortable and quiet

The house was simple yet very comfortable. Everything was clean, and the setting was relaxing. We took daily walks around the lake and loved how peaceful the area felt. Indoors, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the kitchen had the basics. A great choice for a calm holiday close to Groningen.


img 2/5.0 28, Nov 2024

Overrated stay

The pictures online looked much nicer than reality. On arrival, the garden was untidy, and inside, things were worn down. The chairs wobbled, the coffee maker didn?t work properly, and the bathroom was very small. While the lake is stunning, the house felt like an afterthought. It needs proper upgrades.


img 4/5.0 19, Nov 2024

Peaceful and practical

The cottage is in a fantastic location, surrounded by water and birdsong. We spent hours sitting outside enjoying the quiet atmosphere. Inside, the house is simple but practical, with clean rooms and good Wi-Fi. It?s not luxury, but it has all the essentials. The nearby town made it easy to shop or dine, so we had the best of both worlds. A few small updates would make it perfect, but as it is, it?s already a wonderful place to stay.


img 3/5.0 09, Nov 2024

Some positives, many flaws

The location is nice and peaceful, but the cottage is basic. Furniture is dated, and the bathroom really needs a full renovation. Could be much better.


img 3/5.0 30, Oct 2024

Average at best

The surroundings are peaceful, but the house didn?t live up to the photos. Small bathroom, uncomfortable sofa, and poor lighting made it less enjoyable than expected.


img 5/5.0 17, Oct 2024

Lovely getaway spot

We were really impressed by how peaceful the area was. The house is charming, with a cozy feel. The garden overlooks the lake, and we spent hours outside just enjoying the view. Indoors, everything was neat and tidy. A truly lovely spot for a weekend or longer stay.


img 5/5.0 06, Oct 2024

Wonderful experience

We couldn?t have asked for a better setting. The lake is stunning, and the house made it easy to feel at home. Everything was clean, comfortable, and practical. We spent our days outdoors walking, canoeing, and simply enjoying the garden. Evenings were peaceful, with beautiful sunsets. The hosts were friendly and responsive, which made the stay even better. It?s a place that allows you to switch off from busy life and recharge completely. We?ll definitely be coming back.


img 4/5.0 25, Sep 2024

Natural escape near amenities

Peaceful spot with great access to both water and nearby towns. Nice garden, clean interiors. Only suggestion: some bedside lamps could improve evening reading, but overall, a restful getaway.


img 5/5.0 18, Sep 2024

Great mix of nature and comfort

The house was small but had everything we needed. The location, right by the lake, was absolutely stunning. We loved being able to canoe whenever we wanted. Indoors, the beds were comfortable, and the place was spotless. It offered a great mix of natural beauty and cozy comfort.


img 2/5.0 09, Sep 2024

Needs more attention to details

The outdoor space is beautiful, but the indoors told a different story. We found dust on shelves, squeaky doors, and a leaking tap in the kitchen. These small things added up and made the stay frustrating. It?s not unlivable, but not the relaxing holiday house we hoped for either.


img 5/5.0 02, Sep 2024

Magical setting

The setting of this cottage is magical. The water, the sunsets, and the calm atmosphere made every day special. Inside, the house was cozy and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen worked perfectly for simple meals. We appreciated the friendly hosts and their clear communication. This is a place we?ll definitely return to, it?s not flashy, but it offers peace, charm, and a beautiful connection to nature. A truly memorable holiday home by the lake.


img 5/5.0 29, Aug 2024

A true hidden gem

This cottage felt like a hidden gem. Tucked away by the lake, it was quiet and beautiful. The house itself was modest but very clean and comfortable. We loved starting each morning with coffee outside by the water. It?s a place that makes you slow down and relax.


img 3/5.0 19, Aug 2024

Overhyped place

The natural surroundings were beautiful, but the cottage itself didn?t match expectations. The sofa was uncomfortable, and there was a constant draft from the windows.


img 5/5.0 12, Aug 2024

Memorable weekend

Everything about our stay was pleasant. The cottage is right on the lake, offering beautiful sunsets. The place was well kept, and the hosts made sure we felt welcome. It?s simple but charming, and the location makes it extra special. We left feeling very refreshed and happy.


img 5/5.0 02, Aug 2024

Tranquil with a touch of luxury

Clean, bright, and comfortable, this place delivered exactly what we wanted. Canoeing, lounging in the garden, and easy access to nearby towns made it feel indulgent without fuss. We?d come back in a heartbeat.


img 3/5.0 31, Jul 2024

Charming lakeside stay

The cottage is charming, with a nice garden and direct lake access. We enjoyed paddling in the canoe and watching sunsets in the evenings. Inside, the house was clean and functional, though not luxurious. Still, it felt very welcoming. A great place to unwind for a couple of days.


img 5/5.0 21, Jul 2024

Tranquil escape

The highlight of our trip was definitely the setting. The cottage sits right by the water, making it perfect for canoeing or simply relaxing with the view. Indoors, the house was neat and practical. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen made meal prep simple. A wonderful spot to reset and enjoy some quiet.


img 4/5.0 14, Jul 2024

Perfect for relaxation

The lake view made the whole trip worthwhile. It?s quiet, serene, and perfect for a few days of rest. The cottage was simple but charming, with everything we needed. Not a luxury villa, but exactly what we wanted for a relaxing break close to nature.


img 4/5.0 08, Jul 2024

Lovely stay, minor suggestion

Clean, well-furnished, and quiet. The location by the water is unbeatable. Would be perfect with a little more kitchen lighting?but otherwise, a great place to decompress and enjoy nature.


img 2/5.0 29, Jun 2024

Disappointed by upkeep

The location is beautiful, but the cottage felt poorly maintained. Furniture was worn, and the kitchen wasn?t as clean as expected. With such a great setting, more care indoors would make a big difference. Sadly, it didn?t match the cozy, welcoming impression given online.


img 3/5.0 17, Jun 2024

Pretty view, but not spotless

While the view from the garden was lovely, the inside of the cottage lacked cleanliness. The kitchen had leftover crumbs in the cupboards, and the fridge wasn?t properly cleaned. It?s a shame because the setting is peaceful, but hygiene really matters when you?re staying somewhere for a week. Improvements are needed.


img 4/5.0 11, Jun 2024

Great peaceful getaway

The setting of this cottage is outstanding, right on the lake with endless opportunities to enjoy nature. Indoors, it?s a simple but clean house with good beds and a cozy living space. We especially enjoyed watching sunsets from the garden. The Wi-Fi worked well, and the hosts provided clear instructions. It?s not luxury accommodation, but it feels genuine, homely, and very relaxing. A great choice for anyone who values tranquility and access to both nature and the city nearby.


img 3/5.0 05, Jun 2024

Could be improved

The location is good, but the kitchen lacked essential tools. Cooking was frustrating, and the Wi-Fi was unreliable. With a few upgrades, it could be excellent.


img 5/5.0 30, May 2024

Peaceful retreat with charm

This little cottage offered everything we were looking for in a peaceful retreat. The location is fantastic, right on the lake, with views that never get old. The house itself is charming, clean, and cozy, with comfortable beds. The highlight was evenings spent in the garden, watching the water. We appreciated how close Groningen was, making it easy to mix relaxation with exploring. The whole stay felt restorative, and we left feeling recharged. Definitely a place to revisit.


img 3/5.0 23, May 2024

Disappointing balance of pros and cons

Yes, the lake is beautiful, and the area peaceful. But inside, the house was dark, the lighting poor, and the smell of damp noticeable. The bathroom needs refurbishing, and the Wi-Fi didn?t work well. We tried to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible, but the house itself was below average.


img 5/5.0 13, May 2024

Ideal lakeside cottage

This was one of the most peaceful places we?ve stayed. The house was simple yet very comfortable, and the lake setting was stunning. We spent most of our time outdoors, either walking or sitting by the water. The hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. A fantastic stay.


img 5/5.0 02, May 2024

Unhurried and welcoming

The vibe here is relaxed and softly inviting. Bedrooms were quiet, living room comfy. Paddle-boarding at dawn was memorable. Hosts checked in gently, without overbearing, just right.


img 2/5.0 27, Apr 2024

Not welcoming

We arrived to find the garden unkempt and the interior not cleaned thoroughly. It set the tone for a disappointing stay despite the good location.


img 5/5.0 19, Apr 2024

Idyllic setting

Our stay here exceeded expectations. The setting is idyllic, with stunning lake views at every hour. The cottage was well cared for, clean, and cozy. We enjoyed long walks, afternoons on the water, and peaceful evenings in the garden. Everything felt thoughtfully arranged, from the kitchen to the bedroom. The atmosphere was welcoming and restorative, exactly what we hoped for. This is a place we?ll recommend to friends looking for a calming, nature-filled break with comfort and easy accessibility.


img 2/5.0 10, Apr 2024

Good potential, poor execution

The cottage could be a dream spot, but reality fell short. The bedding was old, the bathroom small and moldy in the corners, and the Wi-Fi unreliable. Communication with the hosts was polite but unhelpful when we asked about fixing the connection. We left earlier than planned because it wasn?t very comfortable.


img 5/5.0 04, Apr 2024

Hidden gem

The setting is incredible. Being able to sit by the water in the morning and watch the boats pass was magical. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Hosts were attentive but not intrusive. It really felt like a hidden gem where you can fully unwind and relax.


img 3/5.0 27, Mar 2024

Lovely place to recharge

The peaceful environment made our stay very enjoyable. The cottage itself was basic but had everything we needed. We appreciated the calm setting, the friendly hosts, and the outdoor space by the lake. It?s a good choice for those who want to recharge away from the noise of the city.


img 5/5.0 16, Mar 2024

Quiet and restorative

Felt like our own peaceful sanctuary. The setting is stunning, and the indoors are clean and pleasant. We kayaked daily and sat by the water at dusk. Wonderful hosts and a highly relaxing stay.


img 2/5.0 02, Mar 2024

Needs attention

The cottage could be lovely, but it isn?t maintained well. The damp smell, dirty bathroom corners, and old bedding made the stay less enjoyable.


img 5/5.0 28, Feb 2024

Beautiful and calm

The highlight of this stay was the sense of calm everywhere. The cottage is small but perfectly functional, with everything clean and thoughtfully organized. The garden looking out to the lake was where we spent most of our time, enjoying quiet mornings and stunning sunsets. The hosts were welcoming and made everything easy. We also loved that Groningen was close enough for a day trip, but it always felt like we were returning to our own peaceful haven. Truly wonderful.


img 2/5.0 19, Feb 2024

Not relaxing enough

Beds were uncomfortable, and the damp smell in the bathroom was unpleasant. We hoped for a restful trip, but it ended up being more stressful.


img 5/5.0 11, Feb 2024

Wonderful and refreshing

Our stay here was such a treat. The house was clean and cozy, and the garden had a beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed canoeing in the mornings and relaxing with a book in the afternoons. It felt refreshing to be surrounded by nature yet still close to Groningen.


img 4/5.0 04, Feb 2024

Nice home, quiet location

Simple yet comfortable cottage with great views and enough space for our family. We loved spending evenings outside watching the water. The only slight downside was limited lighting in one corner, but that?s minor in an otherwise excellent stay.


img 3/5.0 24, Jan 2024

Not what we hoped

The stay was underwhelming. The cottage lacked warmth, and several things were broken or old. We had issues with heating at night, which made it uncomfortable. While the area is peaceful, the house clearly needs renovation before I?d consider coming back. Not a great experience.


img 3/5.0 15, Jan 2024

Too expensive for what it is

The location sells itself, but the property does not justify the price. The bathroom felt dated, the mattress was lumpy, and we didn?t sleep well. With such amazing surroundings, the lack of investment in comfort feels disappointing. Guests deserve more for the rates charged. Wouldn?t book again without improvements.


img 4/5.0 09, Jan 2024

Calm setting, great garden

This is a wonderful spot if you enjoy calm surroundings. The cottage itself is simple but well-kept, with a good kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The garden overlooking the water was our favorite part of the stay, we had breakfast outside every day. It?s close enough to Groningen for short trips, but far enough to feel private. Some of the furniture is older, but it works fine. Overall, it?s a great place to enjoy nature and recharge in peace.


img 4/5.0 02, Jan 2024

Well-maintained & quiet

A peaceful stay, comfortable beds, clean kitchen, quiet surroundings. We loved paddling on the lake each afternoon. Maybe a little more outdoor seating would elevate it, but still highly recommended.


img 5/5.0 25, Dec 2023

Perfect peaceful getaway

We escaped the bustle and found real peace here. The cottage felt warm and welcoming, with simple comforts and a soothing lake view. We?ll be cherishing this trip for a long time.


img 5/5.0 15, Dec 2023

Stunning views

Waking up to the sight of water every morning was a highlight of our trip. The cottage itself was bright, airy, and well-equipped. We loved having breakfast in the garden and evenings by the water. The hosts were welcoming and responsive. It?s a wonderful place to relax and recharge.


img 3/5.0 07, Dec 2023

Could be better maintained

It?s clear the house has charm, but upkeep has been overlooked. Some windows didn?t close properly, letting in drafts at night. The bathroom smelled damp, and cleaning wasn?t thorough before we arrived. It?s not terrible, but for the money, I expected a higher standard of comfort and care.


img 5/5.0 01, Dec 2023

Wonderful retreat

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and at ease. The garden leads directly to the lake, where we spent time canoeing and soaking in the views. The house itself is bright, cozy, and very well-kept. It was refreshing to wake up to the sound of water and birds. Evenings by the lake were magical, with sunsets reflecting off the water. The hosts were friendly and responsive. It?s a retreat that offers everything needed for a restful, memorable holiday.


img 3/5.0 25, Nov 2023

Good mix of comfort and calm

This cottage offered just the right mix of comfort and calm. The living area was cozy, the kitchen practical, and the bedrooms restful. Outside, the garden with lake access was fantastic, we loved canoeing and simply sitting by the water. The house isn?t luxurious, but it feels welcoming and genuine. Groningen is nearby for variety, making it a versatile spot. We left feeling refreshed and happy. A good choice for anyone who values peace over extravagance.


img 2/5.0 20, Nov 2023

Looks better online

The photos made the place look much brighter and fresher than it actually was. In reality, it felt cramped, dark, and not properly cleaned.


img 2/5.0 13, Nov 2023

Not as relaxing as hoped

The quiet lakeside setting was ruined by issues indoors. The beds were uncomfortable, and the kitchen lacked even basic cooking tools. When we contacted the hosts, they were friendly but didn?t resolve anything. It felt overpriced for what we got, and we left feeling more stressed than when we arrived.


img 5/5.0 02, Nov 2023

Peaceful and welcoming

The hosts were very kind and made sure we felt welcome. The house itself was cozy and tidy, with a well-kept garden leading right to the lake. Sitting by the water with a coffee in hand was the highlight of our mornings. A wonderful place for a restful escape.

Charming and convenient

This place offers a perfect balance: serene lakeside vibes with city access. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and having a canoe at our disposal added a special touch. Lovely hosts, clear communication , a solid stay all around.


img 4/5.0 21, Oct 2023

Good overall stay

The house itself is straightforward but very comfortable. What really makes it special is the location right by the lake. We enjoyed walking in the nearby area and sitting outside in the evenings. It?s a perfect place to enjoy nature while still having everything you need.


img 5/5.0 14, Oct 2023

Lovely spot for rest

This was exactly what we needed for a restful weekend. The cottage is simple yet very comfortable, with bright rooms and a beautiful garden.

Wonderful experience

We had a wonderful experience staying here. The cottage was neat and cozy, with a garden overlooking the lake. We enjoyed canoe rides and evening walks. It felt safe, peaceful, and well cared for. The hosts were welcoming, and we would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Worn and tired

The furniture looked worn out, and the mattress sagged. We couldn?t rest well at night. Such a beautiful setting deserves better maintenance indoors.


img 5/5.0 22, Sep 2023

Relaxation guaranteed

If you?re looking for a quiet place to recharge, this is perfect. The lake adds a magical touch, and the house is cozy without being cramped. We enjoyed cooking simple meals, going for walks, and just sitting by the water. Truly a wonderful experience in a peaceful setting.

Lovely balance of peace and practicality

A great spot to reset. Thoughtful layout, functional spaces, lovely view. Close enough to run errands but tucked away. Maybe a thicker duvet would help chilly nights?but overall a thoroughly pleasant stay.

Beautiful surroundings

The view of the Paterswoldsemeer was stunning every morning. The house itself was comfortable, with a functional kitchen and cozy living space. It?s not luxurious, but it feels warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed biking around the area and returning to such a calming place each evening.

Perfect weekend away

We had a lovely time at the lakeside house. The garden was beautiful, and the atmosphere calm. The cottage itself was clean and thoughtfully furnished with plenty of space. We particularly enjoyed the canoe that came with the stay. It added a fun, active element to the peaceful surroundings.

Relaxing and well-equipped

Spacious living area, a clean and bright kitchen, and a sweet garden overlooking the water, this cottage had what we needed. Felt private yet was walking distance from local amenities. A restful spot for anyone craving peace.

Perfect short break

We stayed here for a long weekend and wished it had been longer. The cottage is charming and tidy, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The best part was the garden leading directly to the lake, it felt like our own private piece of nature. Canoeing, relaxing, and simply enjoying the view made it unforgettable. The location is also excellent for exploring nearby areas. It?s not a luxury villa, but it?s full of charm and warmth. Perfect short break spot.

Great combination of city and nature

This cottage offered a perfect combination: peaceful nature and quick access to Groningen. We enjoyed canoeing and walking along the lake during the day, then heading into town for dinner. The house was neat, well equipped, and comfortable. It?s not luxurious, but it?s definitely cozy and welcoming. The garden provided a lovely view of the water, making it easy to unwind. A few minor updates indoors would improve it further, but overall, it?s a wonderful and convenient getaway spot.

Needs better upkeep

The location by the lake is wonderful, but the house itself felt neglected. We noticed cobwebs in the corners, some worn furniture, and a bathroom that really could use updating. The hosts were polite but slow to respond to small issues. For the price, I expected more comfort and maintenance. A bit disappointing considering the beautiful setting.

Peaceful lakeside retreat

Our stay at the cottage was delightful. The location right by the lake gave us beautiful views throughout the day, especially at sunrise. The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished. We loved sitting in the garden, enjoying the quiet, and watching the water. The proximity to Groningen made exploring easy while still being tucked away in nature.

Unpleasant stay

Despite the lovely location by the lake, the cottage was not well cared for. We noticed dust, old bedding, and a damp smell on arrival. It ruined the atmosphere we hoped for. Nature around was nice, but overall the accommodation itself was a letdown.

Serene and rejuvenating

As soon as we arrived, the calm atmosphere hit us, the rippling lake, chirping birds, and open skies. Inside, everything was well thought-out and comfortable. Great balance of nature and convenience. A real treat.

Calm and refreshing

Our stay was calm and refreshing from the very beginning. The cottage was neat and comfortable, and the hosts were kind. The lake provided stunning views that made every meal outside memorable. It?s the kind of place where you quickly forget stress and just enjoy the slower pace of life.

Peaceful getaway by the lake

It was so refreshing waking up to the quiet sound of water lapping by the house. The cottage was well-appointed, and the garden provided a lovely spot to enjoy a morning coffee. Close enough to Groningen for a day trip, yet wonderfully secluded. Highly recommend.

Excellent value & views

Placed for pure relaxation. The interiors were neat, the garden serene, and the lake right there to explore. Price felt fair. Maybe a more modern TV setup?but that didn?t affect the overall calm.

Soul-soothing setting

This felt like a gentle hug in cottage form. Clean, comfortable, and calm. The lake backdrop was breathtaking, both in light and stillness. Felt cared for without feeling watched.

Very restful place

Our stay at the cottage was very restful. The house is basic but tidy and had all the essentials. The beds were comfortable, and the living space cozy.
