Zeist, Netherlands

Anytime is a wonderful time of the year to walk down the canals in Amsterdam, salute Van Goghs museum, see Anne Frank's house, be impressed by windmills, taste dutch cheese, admire modern architecture in Rotterdam and enjoy the woods nearby.

Nice that you take the time to read about our house. In winter the fireplace or have a little fire outside in the garden, eat melting marshmallows, and sip from a glass of warm wine. Furthermore you see our kitchen, bathtub and livingroom. Upstairs on the first floor there are three bedrooms. The masterbedroom has a view on the garden, a 30 meter deep place with shade and sun under fruittrees. In the back of the garden there is an office type of second home.

We are a family of three: Arjen (1967), Michelle (1967), and Camille (2006). We have 2 cats that need to be taken care of while we are away. We live in Zeist since 2009. The enclosed garden is a safe place for small children to play with toys and water or read a book in the hammock or prepare a barbecue when the temperature is right! Our home is a pleasant place and suited for a (young) family. We indicate a maximum of six persons but can easily accomodate more than that, though you have to share one bathroom.
