Thanks for allowing us to stay in your unit. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The view outside overlooking the canal was very relaxing and enjoyable.

We had an amazing time - the location is great for bike or bus trips to nearby towns, and the commute into Amsterdam is really easy. The family is wonderful and being on the canal was really nice and relaxing. Would highly recommend this stay!!

Lovely, little place outside Amsterdam. Leia was a wonderful host, very helpful, even walked with us down to local market and helped us shop! Walked with us to show us where local restaurants and shops were.

Very nice apartment, with everything you need and more. We had a canu and bicycles at our disposal, which we enjoyed very much. George and Lia were always very kind and willing to help.

We found this place to be a great location. Easy access to the city via bus. A great little grocery store close by. Our hosts were very helpful and provided information based on our interests. We explored north of Holland on the two bikes that were available to us. Holland is beautiful place to explore. We would definitely recommend this place to stay. The house is very spacious with a beautiful kitchen and sitting room facing the water. It is located in a very quiet area.

well taken care of, the hosts are very kind and helpful. the place was exactly as described and the views were incredible. the town is very nice and not far from downtown by bus. easy to get to Centraal if you desire. it was nice to have the bikes to explore the surrounding area.

Everything about this cottage is wonderful. You are just a short bus ride to Amsterdam (nothing compares with the ease of the Dutch transit system), yet you are right on a canal with a gorgeous view of farmland and a long, long view to the horizon. The town itself, Broek in Waterland, is one of the sweetest in all of Holland and has two excellent restaurants. The owners of the property, George and Lia, live in the house next door and are two of the nicest people you will meet. We really can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is.

We loved our stay here. We were able to enjoy Amsterdam and get away from all the chaos in this charming place just minutes away. It was easy to get there by bus and about 0.5 miles to the property. George and Lia were wonderful hosts!

What a lovely gem we discovered!! It was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing to come back to each day as we explored Amsterdam and the surrounding area. House was very cozy and comfortable with beautiful views of the local canal and farmland, so serene to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee taking it all in. The hosts were absolutely amazing, respecting our space but warm and friendly and willing to go out of their way to help us find bus routes to places we might like to visit and offer suggestions too, which were great. We hope to return again sometime to experience the region in a different season and this is top on our list as a home away from home base. My deepest thanks and gratitude to them for making our stay so lovely.

What a great town and so close to Amsterdam. The bus is very easy into the city, and then you’re back in a quiet space looking at the canal, ducks, and horses. The cottage feels bigger than it looks in the photos because the bathroom is well separated from the rest of the house — and then you have more space outside on the deck.

This cottage is just as described…actually better. Great beds, peaceful, quaint location, very homey and near public transportation. Phenomenal communication with the hosts and they went above and beyond. This was part of a multi-country trip but we are hoping to return for an extended stay at the cottage. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay here! The house is beautiful and the village looks like an illustration for a book of fairy tales. Also super easy to get into Amsterdam- about a half hour on public transport. George and Lia went above and beyond as hosts. They were very friendly and helpful and even made the extremely kind offer to let us stay an extra night after transport difficulties meant that we arrived late. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone considering!

The cottage is lovely, with big windows opening to a canal and sheep-fields. Very comfortable lodging with all we needed for meals in. The cottage is set in a lovely village that is a short bus ride from the Central Station in Amsterdam. Check in went easily, with good communication prior to stay. George and Lia were available if needed but very respectful of our privacy. This is our second stay here and we would gladly rent again.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at George and Lia’s cottage. The cottage was well equipped and we loved the bucolic view of farm animals across the canal. Broek in Waterland is a charming village, rural in character yet very convenient to Amsterdam. We had a rental car and found this location perfect for exploring both north and south Holland. We give this cottage our highest recommendation.

George and Lia's place was awesome for our stay in the Netherlands. We wished we could stay for longer! The cottage was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The location was awesome, we loved using the bikes they provided to ride to the other villages and explore the countryside. The bus is a short walk and 15 minute ride into the center of Amsterdam. I would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a more quiet, relaxing place to stay outside of the busy city.

Friendly and helpful hosts. Clean and pleasant property with nice views from the deck. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain so didn’t really get to enjoy the deck. Has off road parking but parking area and outside would benefit from a tidy up. We had a few issues with the tv signal but hope George and Lia have sorted that by now.

Beautiful one bedroom rental right on a canal, rural setting but close to the city, has everything you need with a beautiful view. Even has a king bed (very hard find in Europe) a plus. 10 minutes walk to bus stop, 15 minutes into Amsterdam or easily catch a bus to Edam, Markum, Hoorne and many more towns from the same bus stop. Restaurants and grocery store nearby. Lia , George and Sheena were wonderful hosts making sure we had everything we needed.

We wanted to do some sightseeing in Amsterdam but didn't want to stay there. This place was perfect...field on one side of the street, a canal on the other with some curious sheep on the other side. Bus service into Amsterdam is slick and easy. It was also very nice to be able to make some of our own meals. Lia was sweet enough to do some laundry for us, which we very much appreciated.

The appartement is perfect. Bed comfortable. The communication with the hosts was very easy. We appreciate that they live next door but we have all our privacy. Our favorite is the location. Small quiet village 15 minutes from the city center. Very frequent buses to get there. The appartement is on the edge of the canal. You can observe nature and the landscape changes every day. Thanks Lia and George!

This was a wonderful stay. Lia and George were great hosts and very helpful. The area was peaceful and a nice reprieve from the city. My favorite part was sitting on the deck and watching the sheep and geese. The deck sits right on top of the canal, it’s private, so the sounds of the water and the wild life made it that much more serene. Using public transportation, it’s an easy ride to Amsterdam, the airport, and other parts of Holland. I visited Haarlem, The Hague, Delft, and Rotterdam in my time. I also went to the beach a couple times when the weather was nice. Lia and George were wondering and welcoming. I arrived at a great time and got the chance to meet the baby sheep and watch the sheep getting sheered. It was an incredible and unforgettable adventure.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Amsterdam and in George's and Lia's lovely cottage. Thank you so much for everything! Amsterdam was charming, but even more we fell in love with the little village of Broek in Waterland, the neighboring villages and our cute cottage by the canal. We are already planning our next trip for autumn - and then we definitely want to have more time to ride a bike and sit on the terrace of the cottage for watching the activities of the animals. I hope to see you again soon, George & Lia! You are great hosts!
