Rent a sustainable holiday home near Amsterdam; welcome to Huis Zijlijn

Sure, we love Amsterdam, but sometimes it is nice and necessary to refuel in a place where the bleating of sheep and the buzzing of bees are the only external stimuli. This get away is just a 40-minute drive from Amsterdam and was built with love and sustainable materials to help you rediscover yourself. Huis Zijlijn in den Oever is definitely worth highlighting!

Huis Zijlijn: why so special?

Huis Zijlijn: why so special?

House Sideline is not just a house, but a nano house made of wood and based on the concept of circular living. It therefore has a Scandinavian character feel, but to add some color they opted for Moroccan vintage cushions and other colorful details and decoration. The light marble top in the kitchen gives a luxurious appearance. A combination of styles, but it still feels very harmonious. The owner has decorated everything with care and attention and you can feel it.

Not only the holiday home itself, but also the location and the view are unique. Not many holiday homes near Amsterdam have a view of a protected nature reserve. Animals, beautiful sunrises, a wealth of flowers and mudflat hiking from your home. Yes, the Wadden Sea is also around the corner, for extra fresh sea air and trips to Texel. In cooler temperatures you can also enjoy the panoramic view through the large windows inside or sit outside around the wood fire enjoying the silence and stars. This makes this sustainable holiday home nice to stay all year round whore.

Who oh who?

It is nice and cozy for a small family, but spacious enough for a couple or a few friends. That is why, in addition to a trampoline, there is also plenty of entertainment and rest for adults. The beautiful wooden deck is perfect for this lounging and enjoying the many hours of sunshine. Did you know that here you have the most hours of sunshine in the Netherlands? And look at this awesome bathroom! No expense has been spared. On the Instagram @huis.zijlijn the owner also shares how the house came about with brief insights into the construction process.

Plenty to do!

If you still want to get out and about, you will find good quality shops nearby for delicious fresh fish or vegetables for sale at the organic care farm Dijkgasthoeve. This way you can also enjoy cooking. There are plenty of cycling routes, walks and you can bring out your inner yogi, meditate or of course do nothing at all. For example, relax in the hanging chair on the 60-year-old oak tree.

Huis Zijlijn is an oasis of peace and has its name for good reason; 'standing on the sidelines' symbolizes a feeling of putting aside your busy city life. Book directly via Airbnb
