Houseboat vacation rentals in De Fryske Marren

Beautiful spacious and special place to stay. We had a lovely lunch and drink on the terrace on the water. The boat is a great luxury, we have been sailing twice at the end of the day. The beautiful weather makes it even nicer. Contact with the owners was very pleasant and quick. Definitely recommended if you are looking for space, peace and privacy.

We were thrilled with the place, Lots of amenities for kitchen, hygiene and pastime! (books, DVDs, etc.) Very cozy furniture and cozy atmosphere as described. If you have any questions, Raoul responds quickly!

The place was excellent. It was even better than described and can't be captured in photos. It was all bigger than it appears in the photos. The entire houseboat was clean and well equipped. Garbage disposal takes some getting used to - but this is also complaining to a high standard and feasible. The hostess was always available, accommodating and very nice. Would recommend this place anytime.

Staying with Irene and Ted is balm for the soul: great hosts, great accommodation, exciting surroundings for cyclists, canoeists, swimmers and nature lovers. We visited for the 2nd time and hopefully not the last. Once again, wonderful holidays.

We had a lovely stay in Raoul and Hester's place. The ark is moored in a quiet side channel of the Ijssel and therefore in extremely calm waters (no bow waves of passing craft). Many ducks, geese, swans and loads of other birds around enjoying the tranquil surroundings, as we did. Despite the out-of-the-way location, it's only a 10min stroll to Kampen - cross the bridge and you're basically right in the heart of the old city. Couple of decent eateries and pubs in a small area. The ark itelf is a little dated but well equipped and feels very homely. If you're going in winter, bring some wood to get that wood stove going and it'll be quite comfy in no-time. Everything works, nice double bed and good shower. Communication with Raoul and his parents-in-law excellent. Can't recommend enough if you're after some peace and tranquility.

Absolutely awesome houseboat. Super-beautifully decorated - very modern - equipped with everything you need. It was sparkling clean and cozy. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed life on the houseboat very much (a great experience). The boat includes a SUP, which we tried despite the season. In and around the boat is very quiet and yet you are almost in the middle of it - it is only a few meters to the actual place. Really great: the supermarket is right across the street. Anita and Diedert are great and very attentive hosts, whom we did not meet in person, but the communication with them went very well. We would love to come again.

Wonderful stay at houseboat De Bintang! Beautiful surroundings, right on the lake. The houseboat is pretty much brand new, super clean and very cute. It has a huge couch for lounging, comfy beds and another seating area on the roof with great views. There is a restaurant right next door with a decent menu. Boat rentals are right next door as well. Watch boats go by all day, rent a boat and explore the many waterways and relax on the lake! Overall it was a top tier experience with a very friendly and helpful host to make our stay amazing.

The place was very clean and equipped with everything you need. You don't need to bring anything. Everything is there. Check-in was completely hassle-free, as Patrick the manager was easily accessible, very friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our time and would come back again. A little tip to all anglers. Bring your fishing rods! Out of 10, we 🌟 give it an 11. Thanks for the wonderful time

The houseboat and the associated boat are immaculately clean and modern and sufficiently equipped. It's enough to do it all: from kitchen utensils (there are even thermal cups and boarders) to a Bluetooth speaker and (our highlight! ) an infrared lamp for the frozen. On the roof terrace you can end the days nicely.

Our stay at the boathouse in Lemmer was just amazing! The location right on the water was fantastic, and the house itself was perfectly equipped – there was nothing missing. Particularly noteworthy is the incredibly friendly host, who warmly welcomed us and made our stay an unforgettable experience. We felt comfortable from the beginning and were able to enjoy the week to the fullest. Everything was perfectly organized, clean and cozy. We highly recommend this special experience and would be happy to come back!

All around, it was a great stay for everyone. We'll remember the place.

We had a wonderful stay! It has us and our three children. We will be happy to come back. The kids had fun in the water and on the boat. The communication with Patrick and Frauke worked great.

Great stay, incredible views, and a very good host. Absolutely recommended!

We loved our stay on the houseboat. Beautiful place, comfortable furniture, friendly reception. We'd love to come back.

Beautiful residential location. On the water. Accommodation neat and clean. Fully equipped. Fishing from the garden and in the harbor. Sloop rented in the harbor on the advice of the host, perfectly arranged and also very friendly there. Flexible in arrival time and departure time. Thinking along. Very nice.

Reinoud's place is a nice retreat to relax for a weekend! Very nice surroundings, idyllic marina in front of the house, absolutely sufficient equipment (great that not only a few counted pieces of dishes were available), Wi-Fi stable, beds comfortable. We had a really good time!

What a nice cozy place on the waterfront! It looks super nice inside, neat, tidy and clean. The terrace was lovely in the afternoon in the sun! Within a 10-minute walk you are in the city center so that was also great.

My first experience at a home like this. Very nice. Warm and welcoming. Very spacious. A place for everything and everything in its place. A real gem.

In a word beautiful; boat ,decor, location, communication Just enjoy. We liked our first time Airbnb. For us, no more of the falcon or parks. We will definitely come back.

Our family spent a lovely three weeks on the ark. The ark is one of several arks that share a private canal area (that can be swam in) next to Warten marina. It is very close to a National Park that we explored by bike, on foot and by boat. The ark is about 30 mins from the ferry to Ameland and about 20 mins from Leeuwarden. There is a wide choice of supermarkets within about a 15 min drive.
