Wonderful stay in Broek
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!!

Perfectly Peaceful
Lia and George's cottage is located directly on a canal, on a quiet street in a pretty village. It is conveniently located close to the bus line which will get you to Amsterdam's Noord Station within 10 minutes. Plus, it is an easy drive from here to Volendam, Edam, Zaanse Schans, Keukenhof and so much more. Our stay was perfectly peaceful ... we loved being surrounded by nature, watching the ducks and swans swim by, and keeping an eye on the sheep and horses across the canal. We had everyhing we needed in the kitchen, the bed was very comfortable and the sitting area was cozy. George and Lia are very friendly and super helpful! They explained the public transit system, gave wonderful advice on places to visit, eat or get groceries, and helped when our rental car needed service. They are the perfect hosts! If you enjoy nature, country living, getting away from the hustle and bustle (but not being too far away from the action), we would highly recommended staying at Lia and George's cottage!

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.

Like something out of a fairy tale
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!

Our stay in Broek with hosts George and Lia
Terrific. What a great experience. Only 10-15 minutes away by bus from the central station with everyone so helpful. Allowed us to enjoy the Amsterdam experience and yet get away to enjoy the countryside’s charms. The lodgings were a self contained apartment separate from the main residence of our hosts. We had complete privacy but they were there to help in any way possible. We did not use the provided bicycles. The weather and winds prevented use of the canoe. You need to get the pass for all the transport on both sides of the central station but well worth the extra access to all the areas outside Amsterdam. Not to be missed. Remember 2 UNESCO designated sites in the area. Thank you Lia and George for making our stay so memorable.

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!

The Cottage
Lia and George were excellent hosts, right from our arrival. Even though we arrived early Lia did her utmost to prepare our accommodation. The Cottage is well equipped and clean. Right on the canal with farm animals, birds and ducks to watch. It truly is a relaxing location. A restorative place after a chaotic visit to Amsterdam. Amsterdam itself offered plenty to do and was a short bus trip away. On leaving, we were offered a ride closer to our train and it felt as though we were leaving friends behind. I highly recommend this Cottage! We hope to return some day.

Wonderful lodging in Broek in Waterland
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.

Love the location!
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!

Lovely, Tranquil Stay
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.

Great place to stay near Amsterdam if want to avoid busy/noisy city
If you want to stay near Amsterdam, but want a quieter country experience, you can not do better than this place. Broek in Waterland is a quaint tiny village just minutes from the outskirts of the city. If you are teaching by car this allows you easy access to the highways that circle Amsterdam so you can go any direction. If visiting the city, the bus stop is near by and bus service is excellent. You do not want to take a car into the old part Amsterdam. There is a mini market nearby and if you have a car a modest shopping center is in Monnickendam just 10 minutes by car or you can his the big shopping center in North Amsterdam. The apartment was exactly as indicated in the pictures and description. The hosts could not have been nicer. Checking and check out was easy. The place was clean. The view out the back is stunning. It is a quintessential Dutch polder landscape. If traveling by car, a parking space is provided. You are just a short drive from Marken, Monnickendam, Volendam and Zaanse Schans. Nearby is also Haarlem (a city just a few year older than Amsterdam with beautiful historic city center. Also so good museums. Less hectic than Amsterdam. You can also get to the sea side and dune nature preserves with easy by car. You can also take the bus to Amsterdam and take the “Sand Sprinter” train to Zandvoort. On my next opportunity to came back and visit u would not hesitate to pick this place again.

We stayed here on our honeymoon, and could not have asked for a better place. The location was so peaceful, we really enjoyed going around the village, and Amsterdam was only a couple bus stops away.

Charming cottage with fantastic hosts
It was a delight dealing with George and Lia. We felt comfortable straight away and loved the accommodation. It is very rural but only fifteen minutes out of Amsterdam and the buses are regular and very easy. I would highly recommend this property for people who want something a little different, a small rural village with charm. After a day in Amsterdam it was wonderful to return to peace and tranquility.

My husband and I had such an incredible stay here. The location is gorgeous and it's quite easy to get to neighboring villages and Amsterdam from there. Every day we took advantage of the available bikes to explore. It was such a nice way to see the area. The hosts were gracious and gave us a lovely tour of the property. We visited the sheep and horses. It was so cool to see the work they do to protect migratory birds that use their lands for important breeding and foraging. We came away with so many lovely memories of the sweeping landscape, lovely skyline, and a great respect for hosts George and Lia. They are wonderful people and the VRBO was the best rental we've ever experience.

What a fascinating village to stay in uniquely water bound surrounded by grass lands with plenty of bird life.

And a short bus ride to Amsterdam. With great hosts George is amazing and very helpful , which made our stay even more memorable . George many thanks to you & your family Greg & Ann

Simple, peaceful, relaxing!
Perfect stay just outside of Amsterdam. I could sit and stare out the windows all day. Not super fancy, but our needs were comfortably met. We enjoyed the heated floors, and the shower was so lovely. The towels were quiet rough, but nothing bad enough to take away from this magic of this place. We enjoyed taking the canoe out very much. Also, the bikes were fun to stroll around in and also convenient to get to the bus stop (10 minute walk, 2 minute ride). I would reccomend this location!

Great little house!
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.
