Vacation rentals with lake access in Utrecht

We had a very nice weekend at Frank's place. In good weather - if you can sit outside - this place is perfect. Amsterdam and Utrecht are easily and quickly accessible. The surroundings around the property are also very welcoming.

Best Location and such a beautiful view! We would be happy to come back :)

We had a wonderful break from everyday life in Rogier's cottage! Rogier welcomed us in a very friendly way at the jetty and patiently explained to us “landlubbers” the handling of the boat and a few special features in the house. We found everything very clean and tidy and felt super comfortable right away. The vacation home is really special! Rogier built it himself and you can tell how much love and passion he put into this project. I can only recommend a stay there, especially for families with older children: sunbathing in the garden and on the terrace, swimming in the lake, arriving by boat or canoeing gave us a lot of pleasure! Attractive bike paths lead to the center of Utrecht and we also made nice tours in the surrounding area. The only small criticism: the road is closer to the house than expected and sometimes traffic noise clouds the idyll in nature a little. We are still thrilled!

Very nice location, very close to the city center. Important to note is that there is no parking space for the car. 500 meters away is a free parking space. We didn't think this was a problem. First drop off the luggage and then take the car to the parking lot, went well (one-way traffic). The cottage is modern and cozy and equipped with every comfort! Train station and bus stop are nearby to explore the further surroundings with public transportation. In the garden, there is a shed where you can store your own/rented bicycles. It is a quiet area and yet close to the city center! Wonderful place and definitely recommended.

We loved our stay here and if we returned to the Netherlands we would stay here again. A very comfortable house, wonderful big soft bed, clean kitchen and lovely shower. A beautiful outside space too- we loved it. Excellent stay

One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in! It was spotlessly clean (not a speck of dust anywhere!), everything had been thought of (including a welcome bottle of bubbles!), it was spacious, and very convenient for public transport....oh, and stylishly decorated! Being close to the train station meant that we could easily get into central Amsterdam, as well as go on day trips to Rotterdam and Zaanse Schans during our stay. Our favourite day was renting bikes in Zaanse Schans for the day and enjoying cycling through the countryside. Very happily recommend this place to others looking for a base near Amsterdam.

We booked the house because it appealed to us from the reviews. Our expectations were far exceeded. We arrived in a house where we immediately felt at home. In the kitchen there is everything you need for daily use. Everything is very clean and tastefully decorated. Communication with Saskia was easy. We rented the house with a friendly couple and went home after a week very well recovered. We can recommend the house without hesitation. We would like to come back next fall. Thanks for everything Saskia and Flip.

The house is idyllically located on an island strip and can be reached by boat. Bas introduced us to everything uncomplicated and relaxed and we had a very nice holiday in the house

Check-in was straightforward and all the important information was super prepared. The highlight is the view over the water and the terrace, from which you can directly access the lake via a ladder. We were already there for the second time and would be happy to come back.

Perfect for one or a few nights.

Wonderful peaceful place to stay!

Great cottage and location. Has everything you need for a great weekend Harderwijk!

A top accommodation, a whole experience

It was a super nice stay! Every time again. Everything was to our complete satisfaction! Great people, both of them!

I had a hassle-free stay at this Airbnb. Jan was friendly, responsive, and met us in person to hand over the keys and answer any questions, which I appreciated. It is a small, basic apartment that met our needs and was clean and orderly. It’s a simple, functional space—ideal for travelers prioritizing cleanliness and quiet over luxury. The kitchen was compact but stocked with the basic essentials. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and fully operational. While the location is outside the city center, public transportation is easily accessible, and the neighborhood feels safe and peaceful. No frills, but no issues either.

Our stay at Jessica’s loft was peaceful, next to walking/biking paths and an awesome ice cream shop. It was close to friends of ours in the Netherlands. The home is in a structure from the 1800’s. Very cool!

Trudy is a very sweet and attentive hostess who has good tips for activities and excursions. The place is very clean and quiet, perfect for a break. We would come back anytime 🌞

Wow! Nor and Mat’s cottage was the perfect escape. The most comfortable stay with picturesque views. The home was immaculate, and Nor and Mat have thought of everything—including toys and crafts for our 3 year old. Their communication and instructions were great, too. The location was wonderful too—a short drive to many restaurants and stores while still quiet and peaceful. We loved our time there!

John is very friendly and the apartment keeps what it promises in the photos. Johnnist is always easy to reach and also contacts you proactively. Thanks John, for the wonderful time in your cottage 😊

The cottage in the lake is really an oasis of relaxation. You can relax wonderfully among animals, water and greenery. The hostess thought of everything on site: from small touches such as champagne & chocolate for the guests to a can of snacks to feed the cattle, cuddly blankets and tea lights to sophisticated night lighting and simple explanations of how to use everything. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with extraordinary flair and love nature, this is the place to be. :)

Best location for access to Edam. Steps away from the cheese market. Ample parking for an SUV. Bathroom on par with American standards - nicer than most European bathrooms. Washer and dryer are full capacity. Enough sleeping space for a family of six. Playground in front of house. Hosts nice and responsive. Cobbled roads and narrow homes do make Edam not ADA friendly like much of Europe.

We had a wonderful stay in Lonneke’s place. The house is very cute and cosy with absolutely everything you need. Lonneke left out really clear instructions and a few tips of things to do in the area. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the restaurant in the village centre. The service team and the locals were super friendly and the food was good. The local village shop is also well stocked. Lovely walks : ribs in the area and a couple of us were brave enough to take a dip in the river! Would highly recommended

What a cozy cottage. Lovely hot tub in the garden (takes a while before it is warm) but then it is really enjoyable! We were with 6 friends and really enjoyed our weekend.. we would definitely come back!

We had wonderful days at Frederika's, the place looks even prettier in real life than in the pictures. Special highlight in addition to the incredibly beautiful view - the rowboat! Which we were allowed to borrow free of charge! Small but nice. Would definitely recommend it! Note: Wi-Fi is certainly not required in such an environment, but would have made the stay even more pleasant. Thank you!
