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!!!

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.

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.

Familieweekend
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.

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. Herzlichen Dank.

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.

Prachtige locatie, heerlijk huisje. Komen zeker terug!
Hele leuke vakantiewoning, op unieke plek. Heerlijk om met gezin te verblijven, zelfs met iets minder weer. Lekker de open haard aan, spelletjes gedaan, boek gelezen. Bij mooi weer, heerlijk gevaren. Leuk ingerichte vakantie woning.

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

Worthwhile retreat
This beautiful property is a gem snuggled deeply on the island of Kaag. You will have to make a trek to get here but if you can achieve this feat it is well worth it! The house is immaculate and feels like it has been loved and utilized for many fantastic celebrations. There is plenty of beautiful dishes, cookware, games, outdoor pillows and blankets. It just felt welcoming in a way that it was ready to receive guests for enjoyment, relaxation and entertainment. We chose to shop and bring in our supplies for cooking which allowed us to really make use of the space and time together as a family. I loved the privilege of using this beautiful home and I'd gladly return! It was our last stop on our three week excursion in the Netherlands and it felt like we saved the best for last 💗

Een bijzonder sfeervolle huis waar het je aan niks ontbreekt.!
We werden gastvrij ontvangen in het zo sfeervolle vakantie huis. Prachtig plekje waar het je aan niks ontbreekt. Met zoveel smaak en liefde ingericht een echt familiehuis! Heerlijk genoten van het varen in de mooie omgeving om daarna je boot weer aan de eigen aanlegsteiger te leggen en bij de openhaard te gaan zitten genieten. Wij hopen zeker nog vaker hier terug te mogen komen!
