Description

Our vacation rental is a former farmhouse, a so-called "Kaakberg' in the countryside near Edam, only 15 miles from Amsterdam!

The Kaakberg is beautiful located in the countryside near Edam, an old "cheese" town, with views on the lake and 'polders'. It is very comfortable for 4 persons. There are two separate bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two separate beds, and we have 2 sofa beds in the living room to accommodate 2 more persons, if necessary. Please ask. We can add children beds. Children under 5 are free if they sleep in the childrens beds we can provide (one for max. 5 and one for max. 3 years old). The rental includes lots of extra's free of costs, like bikes, private sauna, private outdoor spa, parking and free internet (wireless).

Response from the owner Thank you for your nice review. The joined bath room in the second bedroom was kept open to see the architecture of the kaakberg roof, which is beautiful to see. We can understand it is not so private, but that was the choice. From 2014 we have added a seperate second bedroom, downstairs. So four adults can sleep now very comfortable.
