About this apartment rental
This cottage is realised in a converted barn. On a farmyard. The cottage is a great place for young families but also for peace seekers who want to stay in comfortable surroundings. A large enclosed garden with a seating area and reclining chairs. Indoor and outdoor toys, a trampoline, go-karts to race around the yard. And how nice is it when you get to collect your own fresh eggs in the morning? And in the evening together around the brazier. The modern cosy furnishings give a nice feeling. The cottage has a complete kitchen and everything is there, from bed, bath and kitchen linen to coffee and tea. So nice, just bring your clothes. This is how holidays should be, right? A spacious living room, with a dining area, sofa, chairs and a floating chair. A spacious bathroom The loft offers sleeping accommodation on the first floor for 2-5 people. A double bed (2.20m long) and two super cute bedsteads (2m long,) because who wouldn't want to sleep in a bedstead? Because it is spacious, we can add a cot or a regular bed. Groceries can be done in the beautiful historic town of IJsselstein with its quaint shopping streets. There is also a very nice farmers' market with local products in Utrecht. The apartment has a private garden and has access to on-site parking. There are plenty of ideas for excursions: a long walk along the banks of the Hollandse IJssel, renting a boat or a sup at the Marnemoende marina, or a boat trip to the city centre. Have a delicious meal or drink at Rivers, or grab our bikes to take a ride in the area. Dive into one of the lovely natural waters in the area. Utrecht is a great city to discover, the canals, the terraces, the many small shops, Stroll the narrow old streets with their rich history or visit the funniest children's museum in the netherlands (the railway museum)

This farm lived up to its advertisement - it was a “home away from home” and welcome oasis in the evenings after days of touring and immersion in busy urban life. I would love to come back again with my family

This place is just as described.
It’s a beautiful cottage run by a wonderful family.
Will stay there again.

We had a very nice stay! The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and provided a good service- we even got bikes for the duration of our stay. Everything was clean, spacious and looked lovely. Besides we had everything we needed (kitchen stuff etc.).
The City of Utrecht was near but we benefited from the quiet and rural surroundings.

Excellent place to stay - the space was beautiful and very well kept. The location was convenient for travel across NL - we visited several parks and small towns across the country and into Belgium and found this area very convenient. We had our young child with us who greatly enjoyed the animals and toys around the property. 10/10 recommend without hesitation.

Lovely apartment with a private garden and near the farm. The interiors are furnished with a remarkable aesthetic taste. Unfortunately we could only stay for two nights. For longer stays, a washing machine and dishwasher would be welcome :-)

My husband and I loved this property and our hosts. They were very welcoming and did our best to make our stay enjoyable.
The property is on a working farm, but no nasty smells, only a few flies to contend with. There was a demolition going on next door, so very, very noisy, but our hosts negotiated with the construction team to give us a peaceful day. We were met every morning by the resident chicken, a family pet, and the farm also had a horse, goat, sheep and cattle
The apartment itself was very comfortable. Nice large farm table, well equipped kitchen, couch and big bathroom on the main floor. No A/C but it was ok for us (average outside temperature was 15 celsius).
Note the bedroom is upstairs and bathroom on the main floor. There is a typical Dutch set of stairs, pretty steep. The upstairs is a loft with a queen size bed and two very cute cupboard beds for children.
We would return to this property, it was really nice!

Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. Staying on the farm and experiencing the slower pace of life was exactly what we were looking for. The farm was easily accessible to all the site seeing we had planned (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Delft, Gouda, kinderdijk). I don’t even know where to begin with what our favourite thing was. Some highlights....The KITTENS! Our children could have taken them home. Beautifully furnished apartment, the horse and the goat that greeted us every morning. The trampoline. The fresh bowl of cherries. Our lovely British neighbours. It was so much more than we could have imagined. Thank you Gerline and Jochem, we are already planning our next visit.

We were looking for a nice apartment on a farm to have a relaxing weekend and pet some animals. And we got exactly that.
The apartment is so beautifully furnished and you fell right at home and very comfortable. Gerline and Jochem are very friendly hosts. We travelled with our 7 months old son and it was no problem getting a baby bed. The animals on the farm are very friendly and we had a great time playing with the kittens and petting the horse and the goat. The whole area is very beautiful and we took some great walks.
Highly recommended!

Beautiful apartment with everything you need and close to Utrecht. Great location to do day trips. Loved all the farm animals. Loved the style too! We have stayed in many VRBO's and this is one of the very best! Loved the apple pie. Wonderful place for kids too. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We wish we had more time in the Netherlands.

What a wonderful place to stay! The hosts were so kind, the location was beautiful, and the apartment was clean and cozy. We stayed in the apartment with the larger bed and two bed boxes. The bed boxes were large enough for an adult and slept great! What a wonderful way to experience part of the local culture. There is a town nearby with a nice grocery store, so we were able to shop there and cook meals in the apartment. It is also very close to Amsterdam so access to the city was easy. If we come back to the area this will be our first choice to stay again!

We stayed in the 4-person apartment for 3 days in early April and had a lovely holiday. The apartment is well equipped and tastefully decorated. I liked the attention to detail such as the welcome basket of fruit and the bathrobes and bath products. The apartment was recently renovated, so everything is quite new and of good quality. I particularly appreciated the very comfortable bed, and our children loved sleeping in the alcove beds (see pictures).
This is a real farm with cows, sheep and lambs, not to mention a dog. We live in the city, so our children have very little opportunity to come into contact with farm animals. Needless to say, they were incredibly excited and motivated to help out. In fact, they woke up spontaneously at 6:30 every morning to "help" feed the baby lambs and gather the eggs from the henhouse! The trampoline was also much appreciated.
For my part, I liked the fact that Utrecht is only about 15 minutes away by car. We spent an enjoyable few days exploring the city and its museums. I would highly recommend a visit to the Dom tower, the Centraal Museum and the Rietveld-Schröder house.
Jochem and Gerline are gracious and generous hosts. They were very kind to our children. I can wholeheartedly recommend this property.
