About this house rental
In a unique location in the heart of the Green Heart, on the outskirts of Alphen aan den Rijn, with a view of the beautiful Vrouwgeestmolen windmill and the stunning polder, a luxurious, charming, and rustic vacation home was built in 2020, designed to accommodate 4 to 5 people. The listed price is based on a maximum of 4 to 5 guests.
Nature, tranquility, and plenty of recreational opportunities—that’s what you’ll find during your vacation in this beautiful vacation home next to the Vrouwgeestmolen.
Children are, of course, also very welcome! There’s plenty of space to play outdoors. And there’s plenty to do in the area! Such as a day trip to the Avifauna bird park and playground, the Archeon theme park, and various other playgrounds and swimming pools nearby.
You’ll be staying with Hans and Sarah. Hans is a volunteer miller.
He’d love to welcome you!
Of course, you can tour the mill upon request. The miller will be happy to give you a tour and tell you about the mill’s function and history.
This is our second vacation rental on the property next to the Vrouwgeestmolen. We’ve been renting out the Windmill Cottage since 2015.

My wife and I had a great experience staying at a renovated hay barn. The views were amazing. Was great to wake up to farm animals, birds, etc. every morning. Han’s, who lives in a functional windmill on the property, was a great host. He even gave us a tour of the windmill! Loved that he had bikes to rent which we really enjoyed. All in all, it was a great experience in a great country.

Hans' property was the perfect hub for our family of 4 while we were in the Netherlands. It had all of the amenities that we needed and we loved the area! Hans was an excellent host. He was kind, friendly, and informative. If we ever come back, this is where we would stay again!

We had a really relaxing time here.
The cottage is small but that suited us, and the view across the fields filled with all kind of wildlife was superb (not forgetting the chickens next to us and the three walking ducks!).
And the huge windmill next to the canal is something to behold.
Hans, the host, was really welcoming and helpful and if you want to lean more about the windmill then Google 'Vrouwgeest windmill' and learn how it has been in his family since 1797.
The cottage we stayed in was built by Hans from a Dutch hay storage building with a roof that would have been raised and lowered (thus the poles and the pulleys).
And as for Holland – glorious.
The Dutch are so friendly and speak better English than many Brits I know, and Gouda and the cheese experience is recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really didn’t want to leave. Thank you Hans..
