About this property

Atmospheric Kaaghuis directly on the lake with a unique view of water and nature

This characteristic house with its own jetty is located directly on the open water. It belongs to the group 'Mushroom houses', a concept on the Kaag since 1938. The house has both a front and back garden and offers a lot of privacy. The house has recently been newly built while retaining its original character. Use has been made of natural materials and has an attractive and contemporary look and is fully equipped.
It has a bathroom with double shower, 2 toilets, central heating, fireplace, large flat screen TV, well-equipped kitchen, all around terraces and patio doors to the garden everywhere. In the evening you can enjoy the beautiful view by the outdoor stove. There are 3 bedrooms, all with double beds . The house has a very spacious living room around the fireplace with wooden floor and large sofa, both in the open kitchen and outside are large dining tables.

The Kaaghuis offers both possibilities when the weather is nice, to spend a pleasant holiday. Because the house is on an island, this gives a unique feeling of freedom and integration with nature. Getting up and taking a refreshing dip is a fantastic start to the day. Afterwards having breakfast on the jetty with all the boats passing by gives the feeling that time stands still for a moment and that there is peace in an overcrowded existence. At the same time, De Kaag is in the middle of the Randstad, with all its energy and activities. Both a boat and a car (no cars near the house!!) can reach everything a vacation needs. The water sports enthusiast can indulge themselves. The Kaagsocieteit is the bustling heart of the (recreational) sailor and the competitive sailor. The whole family can also go there for a nice drink with food, a 10-minute boat ride away.

In the summer months the cottage is accessible by boat, in the winter months you have to cover a distance of approximately 500 meters on foot from the parking lot on Nassaulaan, Kaageiland.
The location of the house makes it unsuitable for the disabled. It is 500 !!! meters walking over a path, through a meadow! So no rolling suitcases because it is a bumpy path!!!

Dreamy little getaway

We absolutely loved this lake house! I think it’s also the prettiest and most private part of Kaag but still easily walkable to the city and to the nearby restaurants.. Really beautiful and cozy design, from the furniture, decorations, the beautiful tableware.. Sitting on the terrace right at the lake felt fantastic and the sunsets were really magical, followed by great cozy evenings by the fireplace..:) You should just be prepared that Kaag itself is very small and there are no shops to buy food, so come prepared ;) But absolutely recommend to visit this beautiful and peaceful place! 10/10

Heerlijk huis!

Wat een fantastische plek en een sfeervol compleet huis! Wij hebben ontzettend genoten van het uitzicht, de tuin, het gezellige huis en alle faciliteiten zoals de BBQ en de hele complete keuken. We voelden ons direct thuis, mede door het hartelijke welkom van Ellen.We komen zeker terug.

Island property

It was special!!!!! Beautiful home. Beautiful. There is a 9 to 10 minute walk from where you park the car. Not ADA accessible but for those who are active and enjoy walking before they begin their sightseeing. It was perfect. Well stocked kitchen with spices and oils. All the pans, knives, cutting boards, plates and glasses you could need. Nice bed and bath linens. Definetly would stay there again.

Very special location

Beautiful views for both sunrise and sunset over the water with friendly and welcoming host. Well equipped kitchen had everything we needed. As a family of 4 with adult children, the house was spacious and perfect to relax in. Ideal for leaving the car for a week and cycling to Keukenhof and Leiden. Loved it.

hébergement

Les armoires ne sont pas vidées : encombrées par du surplus de linge de maison (draps, serviette) et donc pas de place pour y mettre nos affaires Le chauffage pour la petite chambre du fond ne se déclenche pas (grande baie vitrée) donc froide La maison très loin du parking (pas adaptée à des personnes âgées ou qui ont des difficultés pour marcher) Il serait souhaitable de le préciser Peut être prévoir des vélos pour pouvoir se promener aux alentours Le banc de la salle pour manger est très inconfortable et la table assez abimée (heureusement que nous avions prévu une nappe) Il faudrait prévoir un micro ondes Les deux douches ensemble n'ont aucun intérêt Il serait mieux d'avoir deux douches séparées Aucune documentation pour visiter la région ni information sur les boutiques ni les restaurants Et le comble de tout c'est un pays où il est difficile de se faire comprendre puisque la plupart des gens ne parlent pas français Il faudrait aussi indiquer qu'il y a beaucoup de passages d'avions Par contre beau paysage devant comme derrière la maison Bref nous avons passé un séjour correct mais ce n'est pas une location que je recommanderai Trop loin de tout Merci

Empfehlenswert!

Superschönes Haus und supernette Gastgeberin, die Lage ist sehr beeindruckend, wenn die Anreise mit Gepäck auch etwas beschwerlich ist. Aber die Aussicht macht das auf jeden Fall wett. Alles, was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht, war vorhanden.

Wat een mooi en ruim huis helemaal omringd met water en tuin! Overal veel lichtinval waardoor je volop geniet van de zon in het huis. Na een prachtige zonsondergang genoten van een avondje rond de open haard. Het feit dat het autovrij is geeft je 100 percent garantie op rust! Wij komen hier heel graag terug. Dank voor de warme ontvangst! Catherine

Walk

Was wonderful. Really enjoyed being there. House was clean and organized. Had everything we needed. The host was great, easy to talk to. Not suitable for people with mobility problems. Have to walk 500 meters from parking spot to the house over a path thru the field. Beautiful view on all sides.

Leuk orgineel huis

Het huisje was goed verzorgd, heel compleet, prachtige ligging. Heerlijke achtertuin met veranda. Het weer was wat wisselvallig en dat is een nadeel. Maar ook enkele mooie zonnige dagen gehad, zodat we lekker in het sloepje konden varen en buiten eten en zonnebaden in de tuin. Om het huisje te bevoorraden moet je een bootje gebruiken of 500 m lopen over een pad.

Erholung pur

Wir haben uns in dem gemütlichen Haus sehr wohl gefüllt. Die Einrichtung ist liebevoll bis ins Detail. Es war alles vorhanden und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Vermieterin hat freundlich empfangen und uns alles gezeigt. Auf der großzügigen Fensterbank konnten wir fantastische Sonnenuntergänge erleben. Wir waren nicht das letzte Mal in diesem Quartier.

Tolle, nicht an der Straße gelgene Häuser Gruppe.

An der Inselzunge gelegene Häuser ohne Zufahrt.Man muß eine kleine Fähre nehmen um auf die Insel zu kommen. Es ist eine kleine Gebühr auf dem Rückweg zu entrichten ( Fahrrad, Auto,.. ).Ca. 200m von der Unterkunft gibt es Parkplätze, dann zu Fuß oder Boot zum Haus. Haus sehr gemütlich, Schlafzimmer sehr klein mit Schaukel Matratze. Mein Frau hat manchmal gefroren, leider war die Heizung schon abgeschaltet und kein Kamin-Holz vorhanden. Sonst toll ausgestattet und wir haben es genossen. Alle 40sec. ein Flieger bei der Landung ! Hat etwas gestört.

de tweede blik kan de tekortkomingen niet verhullen

fantastische plaats en omgeving. Bij iets nauwkeuriger gekeken te hebben: - het huisje was na de winter (nog) niet schoongemaakt en hadden we spinnenwebben plus dode insekten (van het vorige jaar) inclusieve. - Beschadigingen worden hier niet meer gerepareerd - ramen waren niet gelapt - in het huis liggen overal dingen verspreid (onder het bed, op kasten), die daar niet thuis horen. - in de mooie tuin ligt gedeeltelijk afval en onnodige rotzooi (oude koelkast kapotte surfplank etc etc Jammer, maar op deze manier erg duur en niet correct
