Excellent Apartment
Excellent location and lovely to be in the countryside but close to tourist attractions. Children loved playing in the garden and was great to eat outside with alpacas in the next field. House was a good size and generally well equipped.

Just as advertised
Nice property in a calm area. It was a bit of a hike to get to the train station (I needed to commute into Leiden). But, it was a great location for the family with easy access to the freeway system to see other cities and sites—no need to work your way out of a downtown area to go anywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Sehr zufrieden
Wir haben uns in dem ruhig gelegenen Reihenendhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Betten sind etwas schmal, man konnte aber trotzdem gut darin schlafen. Da wir nicht so schönes Herbstwetter hatten, haben wir mit dem Auto schöne Ausflüge nach Amsterdam und Rotterdam unternommen, aber auch Alphen hat sehr viel Charme

Beautiful place
We stayed with our family of 5. Our daughters are 16, 19, and 22. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We especially loved sitting on the deck and watching the animals in the mornings and evenings. The apartment was spotless and as described. A washer and dryer were available for 4€ each per load. The surrounding area was quiet and lovely. We found we needed a car to get around as the train station was over 2km from the apartment and we could not find a taxi or rideshare in the evenings. Overall it was a great experience for our family and we would choose to stay there again if we return!

Great location; Quiet and Clean.
We stayed for 9 days in June and it was great. The home is clean, functional and is in a very quiet farm community. Alphen Aan De Rijn is centrally located in The Netherlands and perfect for day trips to Amsterdam, Gouda, Delft, The Hague, etc. We would stay here again if we visited Holland.

Wonderful experience
We are an italian family with two children aged 5 and 9. In this house we had a great time. The house is perfect, it has everything a family could need: the appliances and furniture are of excellent quality. The property has a beautiful garden with animals and a little playground. Petra, the owner, is an extremely helpful person. We recommend this house to anyone.

Perfect in every way! Quoting Mary Poppins!
We just loved our stay! We came in from Utah to terrible rain and winds but they subsided after 3 days and we had glorious weather the rest of our stay! We loved our walks and runs in the area. It was central to all our day trips. We came with two married daughters and their families, so we were all able to be together, but separate. Alphen aan de Rijn is also a lovely city and of course it is just a few minutes either way to beautiful Gouda and Leiden. Our host Petra was kind, sweet and so accommodating. We all loved the Alpacas and other beasts! The only thing that could have made it even more perfect for me was to have a little more Dutch art on the walls, skip the modern stuff and do more of the cute Dutch little farm kids in the bedroom of the first unit! We highly recommend Maria’s Lust!

Had a wonderful stay
My friend and I had a wonderful stay in this great apartment. It was spotlessly clean, well insulated and comfortable. It was very well equipped with the exception of not having a hair dryer. Most vacation rentals I have stayed in have had hair dryers and this would make the equipment perfect. There is a field with alpacas that are fun to watch especially when they are herding the sheep around. There terrace outside is perfect on a warm day. The hostess was wonderful and helpful. The beds and furniture were comfy. There is a bus/train station in town that goes to many places so if you don't feel like driving into surrounding cities, you can take the train. Daily parking is about 6 euros at the station. The town of Alphen has everything you could need and is just minutes away while you are in the countryside. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Stay
We spent a week at Maria's Lust in May, 2018. The owner, Petra Harting, was very helpful answering our questions before arrival and during our stay. The rental was quiet with views of the farm and countryside, although it was only a short distance from the city of Alphen aan den Rijn. Every evening the newborn lambs put on a show of running around the field - better than TV! Excellent rental.

We loved our stay at this quiet farm! It was perfect for our family of 6.
The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds are comfortable and the property is beautiful. There’s even a trampoline and swings that the kids can play on. The location is great. We traveled all over Holland and nothing was ever too far away. I would definitely recommend this house.

Lage gut. EINRICHTUNG ZWECKMÄßIG. NICHTS FÜR KLEINE Menschen.
Die Wohnung hat Ihren Zweck erfüllt. Es war alles sauber und ordentlich. Es fehlte nur ein bisschen der Gemütlichkeits-Faktor. Der Spiegel im Bad und die Küchenschränke sind eher etwas für Menschen ab 1,70 m.

Great place, very well located.
Very peaceful country location yet with easy access to the N11 which meant trips to the coast such as Katwijk and visits to Gouda, Utrecht, Amersfoort and of course Amsterdam were straight forward. Cycling and walking can be direct from your front door and the "wildlife" namely Swans with signets, Coots, Alpacas, chickens and rabbits added to the interest. The property was spotless and included everything needed for self catering. We enjoyed our ten day stay very much and Petra was on hand to help if needed. She suggested a really good restaurant "The Old School" in Ter Aar in a nearby town. We hope to visit again and would definitely recommend this property to anyone.
