The location of the Little House is almost miraculous: it's a lovely, lovingly-built quiet space in a tranquil location near the water. You sleep in a cozy little Dutch cupboard bed and wake up to birdsong. You're surrounded by green grass, flowers, and a freshwater pool. Two curious chickens stand patiently outside your front door in the morning, hoping for breadcrumbs. Gracious hosts are there to patiently answer your questions and give gentle recommendations. And then, when you're ready to go out into the world, you just walk down the road for a few minutes, and voila! A (free, no less!) ferry is there to whisk you across the river, and within five minutes you're in central Amsterdam. We're still amazed by this place, and are also so grateful to have found such an idyllic place for our first stay in Amsterdam.
