Lakeside living meets modern luxe in this countryside holiday resort, with every facility you and your family could possibly need. While the home is just a five-minute drive from the town of Schaijk, or twenty-four to the larger city of Den Bosch, we think the range of activities will make you want to stay put.

Reflected in the peaceful water right by your front door, this wooden lodge is a prime example of eco-friendly architecture that blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Wooden planks frame large windows, where minimalist interiors look out to your front patio. It's the ideal spot for a chilled pinot grigio while the kids are entertaining themselves.

Speaking of which, they’ll love the on-site playground by the lake and in the forest, vast fields for running about, or an evening at the ten-pin bowling alley. They might even meet the children’s entertainers who saunter around in costume at various times of the year. But this exciting range of facilities is crowned by something that parents can also enjoy. A delicious restaurant and bar where you can eat Dutch food, sip beers, and simply take a break from cooking for the family – you are on holiday after all.
