Holiday rentals with lake access in Diemen

We would love to come some time back to this place, thank you for everything :-)

We spent a lovely week at Marjolein’s beautiful home. The house is even more spacious than the pictures suggest and it was totally spotless from top to bottom. Everything we needed was available and Marjolein had thought of everything. The beds were comfortable and the washer and dryer meant we went home without suitcases full of laundry! The location of the house is very convenient - five minutes walk to the tram and 10-15 minutes from Central Station. Marjolein and her husband were responsive to any queries we had and were both friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend this lovely home if you are seeking somewhere close to Amsterdam! Thank you Marjolein!

Annette’s home was a great base to explore Amsterdam with our young family. The house is about a 5-10 minute walk to the tram with regular, quick service to Amsterdam. Stores are about 10-15 mins walk. The area is peaceful and there are beautiful views from the house. The kitchen is beautiful and well appointed. The bedrooms and living room are large even by American standards. We did not use the garage but it would be very helpful for anyone exploring further afield with a car.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Stay on the Water! Staying at this river Airbnb in Amsterdam was hands down one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences of my travels. The location is beyond dreamy — right on the water, with stunning views of the canal life drifting by. Waking up to the gentle ripple of the river and sipping coffee on the deck felt like something out of a movie. ✨ The interior was cozy, stylish, and spotless — you can tell the hosts put a lot of love into making the space warm and welcoming. Every little detail, from the plush bedding to the curated local decor, made it feel like a true home away from home. The hosts were absolute gems — super communicative, thoughtful, and even left us a welcome gift with local treats . They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and explore, and made check-in a breeze. Being gently rocked to sleep on the river, then waking up to swans gliding past the window… I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Amsterdam

Everything went great with Friso, who is was a proactive and accessible host. Lovely place and lovely part of town.

Rick was a wonderful host, had a friend greet us on arrival to show us the place and gave us a little tour of the town, since he was away. Greeted us with a bottle of wine and an excellent instruction manual and recommendations of nearby “things to do” He has a lovely home in a walkable town. Rick was responsive to any concern we had. I highly recommend this property and Rick!

Erika was a wonderful host—extremely responsive, full of helpful recommendations, and accommodating. The house was a comfortable and convenient base to explore Amsterdam, with just a short walk to the tram to Central Station. It was fabulous to wake up to the sun reflecting off of the canal right outside our bedroom window and to sit by the water at the end of the day. The grocery store was one tram stop or a 10 minute walk away. Lovely neighbors gave us a tour. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

A top accommodation, a whole experience

We had the most amazing stay here. The house is beautiful and spacious across the two floors. Communication was excellent and it was super easy to check in. The place is a little further out but getting around is super easy and there’s always lots of transport options. The swimming jetty and house cat were also a real bonus!

Harold's cozy houseboat is ideal for a few days' stay in Amsterdam. By public transport you are super fast in the city center! The houseboat is cozily furnished and it's a little adventure to stay in if you're not used to it. Harold is very friendly and even gave us a fruit basket and a bottle of wine to welcome us!

Jacqueline was most welcoming to us. She gave us very clear directions on how to find her place. Her home was festively decorated for the holidays and she left us some special treats, including some amazing Dutch cheese. The views from the windows and balcony are nice. At checkin her instructions about how things worked in the kitchen, etc., were very helpful. Jacqueline also provided us with great information about unique places to visit in Amsterdam. Beds were quite comfortable and cozy-warm. Her cats were friendly and entertaining. The location is an easy walk to restaurants, grocery markets, and interesting shops. Transit is close by for an easy commute to museums and other places of interest. I would recommend staying at this Air BnB.

Robin’s studio is an ideal couple’s stay location. Everything was clean and easy to use, with plenty of facilities for what we needed over our weekend stay. We really enjoyed lying in bed with a view out on to the river and Robin was great at communicating with us and helping us get in to the property with ease on our own. Would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again myself!

Very beautiful place peaceful relaxing

We spent 4 nights over Easter in Rudi‘s cottage and throughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very bright and clean with a comfy bed. and sofa, a great shower and excellent lighting (this is something that I often miss in hotel rooms). The view from the terrace is outstanding. We were lucky with the weather and spent many hours there after cycling in the area or visiting nearby Utrecht. Rudi is a very friendly person, always smiling, giving us recommendations etc. Would re-visit anytime. Thank you, Rudi - also for the delicious welcome-cake!

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's place was lovely. We have what we need. A great place for family gateway. My little ones wished to stay longer!

Really nice house and peaceful surroundings, Edam is a Hidden Gem and just 20 mins away by bus to the city centre, the host also very responsible

Everything was perfect, the communication, the house itself, the view and the easy access to amsterdam city. I highly recommend this AirBnB ! ❤️

Angelique is a super host, very responsive and on hand if you need anything answered or help with directions etc. I have not encountered a better air bnb host :-) The water cottage is peaceful and restful and has everything you need. For Amsterdam you must be either prepared to drive or happy to walk just over 1.3 miles into the town. Its a 45 min bus into Amsterdam which is pretty regular or you can drive 15 mins to a train station and make your way in from there. We had no problem with this at all but some might be put off. However the location and quiet peace by the water was super and worth it!

We had a wonderful, unforgettable time with Rianne and Ramond. It's one of the nicest Airbnb's we've stayed at so far. The small cottage on the lake leaves nothing to be desired. We sat outside in the countryside in the evening and watched the ducks and could marvel at the most magnificent sunsets. The place and everything around it is decorated with a lot of love for detail and stylish. In the well-equipped kitchen you could conjure up a delicious dinner. Rianne and Ramond are very nice and warm hosts. They were always available and very responsive. Dear Rianne and Ramond, Thank you for making it possible for people to have a nice time on your beautiful spot on earth. :)
