Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Smallingerland

We felt right at home with Joost and Johan - they rented us the apartment over New Year and thus put a lot of trust in our larger group. With 8 people, we were able to spend a great evening in the house and also enjoy the beautiful surroundings on the lake. It was all lovingly furnished and the kitchen was fully equipped. Only regarding the oven we had to reschedule, as we had planned pizza, but the oven was more of a microwave. However, this was not a problem, instead there was pasta :) although we were a large group, the space was fully sufficient and we were completely satisfied. Thank you! We would recommend a stay and would love to come back:)

What's special to recommend!

Super nice place. The accommodation was clean and nice. The landlady is very nice and helpful !

We had a great Easter weekend at Geert and Grietje's place. Truly a wonderful stay in a wonderful location. Fully equipped and ideal if you love nature and want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! We'd love to come back.

We loved staying at this house. The host was very responsive and was able to accommodate us at very short notice. The house was cleaned well and we loved the amount of space we had. The centre of Drachten is just 5 minutes away, and parking is a breeze; there’s always a spot available. The house has everything you might need, the kitchen is very well equipped. While the house isn’t overly furnished or very luxuriously decorated, it has the most comfortable king sized bed we have found in any short term rental home in Drachten. It’s super comfortable! We’d gladly stay in this house again.

A beautiful, very clean and classy house in a quiet area. The owner is polite and friendly. It's the best place to sleep after a busy day in Amsterdam. It's about an hour away from Amsterdam, but the road and streets to get to the house are very smooth and easy.

Quiet, welcoming, beautiful home, with everything needed, the most comfortable bed I've slept in. It was not a problem for us at all, but stairs to the bathroom are quite steep, so surely difficult for people with low mobility.

Very nice place to stay, clean and close to everything you needed. We were able to get near locations, like Harlingen, Leewarden, Sneek and other villages were my family was from. Towns close by offered great food and shopping. I would stay there again. The chickens did wake us up each morning, but I felt like a child again growning up on the farm.

Stayed 3 nights in this B&B. Upon arrival there was a nice Frisian Orange cake as a welcome. Beautiful, clean, bright, cozy house equipped with every comfort, good bed, nice clean bathroom. Patio garden doors with a private terrace and piece of the garden. Friendly owners, who were always concerned that we were lacking something. Had a few wonderful relaxing days and certainly repeatable.

Such a nice, peaceful and cosy place! We stayed here to discover the Lauwersmeer with its variety of birds. It was lovely to start the day peaceful and end it cosy at Hans-Eriks place. Definitely would recommend! Would love to come back in a different season as well.

Very cozy, spacious and clean accommodation with everything. Friendly and very helpful owners.

We had a very great stay at the guesthouse. Everything was clean the host was very accommodating and polite. I'd love to come back.

Ellen and Jaap were lovely hosts, we had an incredible stay at their place! It was so creatively and artistically decorated, and I have never slept better at an Airbnb — the beds were so comfortable, and the neighborhood was so peaceful. It was awesome to have a sweet dog and cat roaming around to make us animal-lovers feel right at home :) 5/5 stars on all levels!

Great location, very comfortable apartment, and great host! Definitely recommended!

Very recommendable and beautiful location. Everything was perfect, thank you!

Had a great stay in the small apartment. Very fully furnished. A wonderful location to completely relax and unwind. You should not be very afraid of spiders and mosquitoes :-)

We slept well in the bedstee. The children also thought it was very cozy. Nice cottage, cozy atmosphere. Gas stove also makes it cozy. Magnificent views of flowering apple blossom. We were greeted by cozy chickens. Everything was just right when you looked around. Very nice!

APARTMENT: Fantastically beautiful view directly on the Jisselmeer. Waking up in bed was never nicer. Very quiet, super nice hosts. Despite advertised "dog apartment" very clean. AREA: A supermarket is a 5-7 minute walk daily. A cafe is almost right outside the front door.

We felt very comfortable in the beautiful, modern and well-kept apartment - and it is located in a nice area. The landlords are very friendly. In Groningen, be sure to go to the forum and the museum!

Nice spacious apartment, top location, good communication

We stayed at Lily‘s apartment over the weekend and we felt right at home. My first thought was: so beautiful! Damn, we’re only staying for 2 nights 😂 The ocean was so close 🌊 we could even see it from the couch, which was very cozy, and the apartment looked like in the photos. I’m definitely coming back! ♥️

Due to my husband's work, we stayed in the accommodation of Dennis and his family for 7 weeks, who live in the main part of the house. The property is very quietly located. For those who love it like us it's perfect. You only need a car or bike for weekly shopping as there are no shops in the village. The rooms are small and each has a dresser in it. The bathroom, on the other hand, is very spacious, you absolutely have to ventilate after each shower, otherwise it smells something special. The kitchen and living room are very inviting to linger. Unfortunately, the garden was always very wet due to the weather, which is why we can't tell much about it. Behind the house there is a very nice playground and picnic areas. There are plenty of great ways to walk. We made trips to Groningen, Veemdam, Assen and even Amsterdam. We enjoyed it very much. Dennis and his family were incredibly nice!

The place was way better than the pictures. Super nice game space. Very large. The pool table was a hit. Everything you needed was there. Sauna is with plunge pool. Everything was neat. Nice extra that there were horses and could pet. Quiet area but with all the facilities you don't necessarily have to leave the cottage. We would recommend it or definitely come back.

The long weekend in the apartment overlooking the lake was beautiful. The apartment is freshly renovated and we were welcomed with drinks and some treats in the fridge. We were even allowed to borrow the canoe to ride it across the lake. Joke and her husband Martin help wherever they can. Thanks again for the wonderful stay!
