Holiday rentals with lake access in Government of Amsterdam

We’ve enjoyed staying at Gerrit’s place. Host was friendly and communicated well. House has a lovely little garden 🏡, and beautiful surroundings 🌳🏡. It’s a peaceful neighborhood! highly recommended :)

Hans’s house was beautiful and very personalised, I felt right at home from day 1. Thanks for the wine bottle and the helpful instructions. I hope we get to stay there again next summer as it was really excellent to access the park quickly. The only slight downside is that you need to cycle about 20mins or take 35 mins tram to reach the centre and there aren’t much places to have dinner nearby after 8/9 so be careful if you like to dine late. Otherwise excellent airbnb option and looking forward to staying there again in the future!

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Michael was an extremely welcoming host, who gave great recommendations on where to go and what to do in and around Amsterdam. Incredibly responsive to any questions we had and very friendly when communicating. The house was very well kept with plenty of space for 5 people with comfortable beds and plenty of furniture for us to chill on, in our downtime. Overall a fantastic experience and would stay again.

We spent a few days in Diemen: Fons' place was spectacular. Cozy, clean, spacious spaces. Founded a magnificent landlord: always available with tips and directions, he made us feel at home, leaving us 4 bicycles (there were 4 of us) and many comforts in the house. The rooms were exactly as pictured: the house gave a sense of warmth, as if we were from a friend. There was everything beyond the usual tea and coffee: it's a sign of great and generous hospitality, which we really appreciated. A small problem with the dishwasher, but Fons was very helpful with us and took care of everything. We recommend this 5-star home: clean, cared for, and welcoming. This makes the trip to Amsterdam very pleasant and relaxing. Priceless fund, also 5 stars to the host :)

Absolutely perfect location. Quiet and peaceful yet short walk to Metro to get anywhere in the city. Houseboat was exactly as described and absolutely loved everything about our stay.

Was a wonderful location and house very clean. Enjoyed our stay. thank you

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!

The location is great! Short walk to transportation. Amazing view of the canal. Has everything you could need or want in the kitchen. Beautiful bathroom and great to have a tub and a shower. Place is very spacious and lots of natural light. The book shelf is full of great reads so you can even skip packing books. Boris had good recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Our favorite was taking a boat tour of the canals. Might not have done that if he had not suggested it. If ever back in Amsterdam, will for sure hope it's available and will recommend to friends. Enjoy!!

I really enjoyed staying at Stanislava’s place. It’s a very nice apartment equipped with everything one would need. Stanislava is very friendly and flexible, an exceptionally great Host. Absolutely recommended!

I stayed at Caio's place for a week for a business trip and had a great stay. The flat is conveniently located a short walk from the tram station and 3 minutes away from the nearest supermarket. The flat itself is well equipped, bright and has all amenities needed. Caio was very responsive and helpful when needed; he even lent me a bike for my stay, which was prima. The only miscommunication was during check in. Caio had said the flat is on the 2nd floor, counting the ground floor, which I hadn't. So took my a minute. Otherwise, perfect!

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!

Great communication. Easy check in. Fransje welcomed us and showed the house which was filled with fresh flowers everywhere. This was the second time we stayed in this beautiful typical Dutch house. The last time we were with 7 people, this time with 6. Enough room for everybody. This house has everything you need.

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!

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

My sister and I loved it. It was all the same as in the photos. Even better. Right on the water and you had your peace and quiet. The view was really heavenly and we were able to relax very well. I'd love to come back.

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!
