This home was beautiful and the hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. We arrived quite late and Rachel's husband readily met us to show us around and welcome us. The entire stay was wonderful, especially with the nice touches included in the home - fresh grapes, an array of cooking supplies and coffee, a refrigerator full of yogurt, cheese, beverages, fruit, and eggs. We had planned on going out for breakfast but didn't need to venture out early thanks to all that was provided. The view out the back was beautiful, overlooking a large lake with a small dock at the end of a pretty yard. We were fortunate to spend some relaxing mornings looking out at the ducks with our little one. The location was perfect for trips to Amsterdam, Marken, Vollendam, and Zansee Schans - none more than a 20 minute drive. The little town we were located in was off the beaten path and very quiet. We ended up buying food at a local store to cook in the home on our last night since the place was so homey and comfortable. Rachel and her husband also saw us off and wished us well. We highly recommend staying here and will definitely come back if we are in the area. Simply wonderful!
