Family Home in Zeewolde by Forest Trails

Henk & Marleen's vacation home is spacious, beautiful, and well equipped, with a truly impressive and lovely back patio and garden. The area is peaceful and very quiet. It was a reasonable drive from a Park + Ride station, from which we twice took the Metro into Amsterdam for the day. Henk & Marleen are very responsive and cordial hosts, who graciously offered not only lots of useful travel information when we asked, but even said we could check out at 9pm! There is also a refreshing outdoor pool available to guests. (And there are 3 toilets in the house, which is quite a luxury.)

It will be great if simple guides can be provided (in English and other guest languages) for the microwave and cooktop; not being Netherlanders (or European), we couldn't make sense of the symbols and didn't really succeed in getting the appliances to work as we wished. It was also quite warm in the master bedroom downstairs, despite our using there one of the two electric fans that we were so grateful to have provided in the house.

Beautiful villa with plenty of space for our family vacation. The backyard is green, with a canal with pretty water lillies. The property was clean, with ample furniture and well equipped kitchen. Kids had lot of fun running around open space in the front and backyard

The signages in the area were a bit misleading. Though the instructions in the email were good enough for us to navigate to the property. Overall great value for money.

The garden was very relaxing especially sitting next to the water.

The bed mattreses were too hot and they need more pillows .
