A once in a lifetime experience! The windmill had everything we needed for a comfortable and beautiful stay in the countryside. We enjoyed biking to town, preparing meals in the kitchen while watching swans float by, and looking through the great book collection. We learned a lot about Mondrian and windmills! The beds were especially comfortable. And of course the friendly sheep next door were a delight!

Great Country Stay

The Windmill was a fantastic and unique stay. After a few days in Paris our family loved coming to the calmness of the wide open country and the windmill was a very cool experience. Maarten was always available to answer any questions and kept a phenomenal house.

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the mill. Maarten is an outstanding host. He answered all of our questions promptly and made us feel very welcome. The property itself is great. We enjoyed the historic mill, the rural setting, the nearby town and easy rail access to Amsterdam. We will definitely try to stay here again if we return to the area.

Amazing experience

We only were able to stay for a single evening, but it was an experience we will not forget. The place is beautiful and how often do you get to stay in a windmill? Maarteen is incredibly helpful and was a welcoming host. We are incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to visit this unique accommodation.

Dreams can come true

If you’ve ever dreamed of staying in a windmill surrounded by farm fields with sheep/goats/cows and more this is the place! Close to a wonderful town with great pre made food from gourmet type shops and restaurants, so eat out or bring food back and watch sunset at the windmill at the outdoor table as we did. Thatched roof, well appointed and cozy inside - we will hopefully be back!

Beautiful Abcoude

My family and I loved this property! Such a charming town and unique way of experiencing Amsterdam. Peaceful surroundings and the windmill had everything you could need to be comfortable. Maarten was very responsive during our stay, even helping us get a doctor’s appointment in town. We traveled to four countries during our European vacation and our family all agree that this was our favorite part.

Relaxing and unique stay

This was a fantastic Dutch experience. Great location to bike and Abcoude was fun to explore. We recommend Ollie's and Acqua Farina. We rented a car so we could visit other areas and go into town for groceries. The train station was very convenient. Staying in a windmill like everyone else mentions...truly a unique experience. Our host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Once in a lifetime !!

How many people get to stay in a real windmill ! This place was amazing. There were 6 of us and our adult children enjoyed this setting beyond our imagination. There were goats and sheep in a picturesque setting that could be a painting. Maarten was very responsive and it was very nice to relax here after a hard day of touring. Abcoude is beautiful little town as well.

This was an awesome experience to have stayed in such an amazing place. A short trip to Abcoude

This is so perfect. Uber to station for 5 euro and they all turned up. Abcoude is just a lovely town and from the station it’s about 22 min to Amsterdam central. The accommodation is just perfect and we spent a day just lazing around and a walk into town. It just perfect and communicates with Martian we’re smooth and trouble free Thanks

Wow what a windmill experience.

This was an amazing country side windmill experience. Surrounded by river and canals. Cows, goats, and sheep right out the door. Maarten is wonderful. He had everything beautifully ready for us. Even early check in so accommodating. He even started up the windmill for us. He kindly drove us to the train depot. Short bike ride into quaint Abcoude. Super cool little town. Rode to the next town over Driemond. Ate at Tante Bep wonderfully friendly atmosphere. Love the owner. Everyone is so very friendly and kind. Beyond a dream come true and wanderlust of Abcoute. Thank you Maarten. Cheers Patty and Douglas

Wonderful break in the country

My family and I (two tween boys) had a wonderful few days in Abcoude in the windmill. The pictures are true to life so we felt we already knew the place when we arrived. Maarten was wonderful to deal with it was a huge bonus for him to have bikes available for us to use. We went on bike rides into town every day! We would highly recommend the windmill for a few days outside of Amsterdam.

AMAZING!

I traveled to Abcoude with a group of 5 others and we all agreed that staying in the windmill was the highlight of our European trip. Maarten was so kind in offering to pick us up from the train station and gifting us a bottle of wine upon our arrival. He even had the windmill on when we got there! The views and the small town of Abcoude were fantastic and definitely things we will always remember!

FANTASTIC - HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP!

I can't recommend this place enough! The interior is incredible, and offers so much room - way more than we expected. The exterior speaks for itself - how cool it is to stay in a working windmill! The hosts were extraordinarily kind - they even gave my little girls Dutch souvenirs. Location was great - uber picked us up and dropped us off in a timely manner. Short walk or bike ride into Abcoude. We spent two weeks traveling through Europe and this was most definitely the highlight of our trip. Thanks to the best hosts ever!

We slept in a real windmill

It was so charming. Kitchen and living space on main floor. 2 bathrooms. Master suite on the third floor. Lots of ladders, so must be able to climb! The countryside was gorgoeus. They were fixing the blade of mill when we were there so we didnt get to see it run. Did not affect our opinion. Charming town, Great bars and food. Maarten was a gracious host. We had everything we needed including bikes to ride to the city.

About the host

Hosted by Maarten

Host profile image

Maarten lives close to the windmill, about 2 miles down the beautiful river Gein. He’s the miller, with his dauhgter Lisa. We run the mill regularly, pump out water from the polder, it’s always magical: big machine from 1874 pumps out 20’000 liters a minute! It s just great to share this with as many people as we can!

Why they chose this property

The most beautiful rural area and only 12 kilometers from downtown Amsterdam. The windmill is unique and a beauty! Did you know Piet Mondriaan produced 26 works of this windmill? For instance : Oostzijdse molen by night and by evening.
