Spacious waterside holiday farmhouse for 2 to 10 guests on the Princess Margriet Canal near Grou, with a private harbour and a large pond with a swimming ladder.
Next available datesjust a moment…
Right on the Princess Margriet Canal, this characterful holiday farmhouse has everything for an unforgettable holiday. With a private harbour, a large pond with a swimming ladder and endless opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing from the grounds, cycling and walking, it is the perfect base for discovering Friesland.
Vrijzicht lies in Warten, on the Princess Margriet Canal, at the end of a seven-hundred-metre dead-end road. Across the water lies De Alde Feanen National Park, with Eernewoude on its edge.
The farmhouse dates from around 1926, is partly thatched and sleeps ten in five bedrooms. The grounds cover more than ten thousand square metres, most of it natural landscape.

The generous kitchen-diner is the heart of the farmhouse. French doors open straight onto the terrace, with views over the water and the rising sun. The cosy living room adjoins the sunny south-facing terrace by the pond, so inside and outside flow seamlessly together.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a five-burner range, double oven, large fridge-freezer, dishwasher and tableware for ten. The house also has fibre wifi, a 65-inch smart TV, a washing machine and the rear barn with plenty of room to store bikes safely.

Unique accommodation! The house sits right on the canal and the idyllic setting around it is wonderful. The house has everything you need and is large and spacious. Paulien replies quickly and is easy to reach. I can only recommend it.

We stayed in this beautiful house as a three-generation family aged 11–79 and had a wonderful time. Our dogs loved the extensive outdoor space too. The house is completely private and quiet.
Steffi · May 2026Airbnb
Everything you could wish for in the kitchen, and the beds super comfortable! We hired an electric boat nearby and kept it in the harbour, where we could charge it.
Erna · July 2025Airbnb
We felt very much at home and the waterside location is unbeatable. The extra pond you can swim in is a dream!
Marius · July 2025Airbnb
A lovely house in beautiful surroundings. The open-plan dining room/kitchen with its big wooden table is really special. Impressive! We had a great time. Thank you so much. PS: My daughter misses the cats :)
Anna · June 2025Airbnb
What a wonderful spot on the water. There's complete privacy.
Jeroen · June 2025Airbnb
Beautiful setting — just cross the PM canal at an angle and you sail straight into the Alde Feanen! The living area is definitely big enough if the weather lets you down a bit (there were 9 of us).
Maarten · June 2025Micazu

Jurriaan · July 2024Airbnb
Beautiful house in lovely, quiet surroundings. No other buildings for miles around. The house is fully complete and we didn't miss a thing in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

Louis · April 2024Airbnb
It was perfect, highly recommended!
Evgeny · July 2023Airbnb
It's right next to the beautiful Alde Feanen nature reserve, where you can go out on the water in perfect peace. Then 'coming home' to the beautiful house Vrijzicht — this is where you truly unwind.
Marc · June 2023Airbnb
Perfect farmhouse in a beautiful location, nothing was missing.
Jens · April 2023Airbnb
Beautiful location, really lovely, well-equipped house! clean and tidy
Lotte · November 2022Airbnb
Lovely house on a quiet stretch of water amid beautiful farmland. A great place for a relaxing weekend to recharge in nature.
Catherine · October 2022Airbnb
The private harbour was a luxury, and the passing boats were fantastic entertainment. All we had to do in the warm weather was shift our chairs into the shade and take a dip in the pond.
Tirza · August 2022Airbnb
The house is beautiful and contact with Paulien is very friendly and pleasant. Would recommend it to anyone!
Christian · July 2022Airbnb
A cosy, comfortable house with every convenience and well equipped, in a lovely rural location. Not for families with young children because of the water hazard - Princess Margriet Canal and pond.
E.J. · July 2022Airbnb
Paradise on earth
Khalid · July 2022Airbnb
Lovely house in a perfect location
Lars · June 2022Airbnb
The location of the house is absolutely fantastic - quiet, charming, ... exactly what we'd hoped for for a family weekend. The house is well furnished, you'll find everything you need, and it's clean.
Iseult · May 2022Airbnb
Lovely place, everything was perfect!
Stefan · May 2022Airbnb
Fantastic property right on the canal — superbly equipped, huge grounds, ideal for families... dogs too.
Dirk B. · April 2022VRBO
The house sits right on a canal with busy inland shipping traffic, so there's always something to watch. The highlight is the open-plan kitchen and living room, where ten people can spend cosy evenings together.
Claus P. · December 2021VRBO
In summer this must be a beautiful spot, but unfortunately the weather was really against us. Otherwise the house has every convenience and is very spaciously laid out. The location offers a great deal of privacy and borders directly on the Princess Margriet Canal (with the passing boats that come with it). Communication was top-notch and Paulien replies quickly to messages.
Niels · December 2021Airbnb
very pleasant hosts. communication went very smoothly
Erik · September 2021Airbnb

Super house in a perfect location. It has everything for a fantastic, peaceful stay. We'll definitely be back.
Carolina · July 2020Airbnb
Beautiful spot!
Suzanne · July 2020Micazu
Lovely — Beautiful house on the water. Private berth to moor a sailing boat you can hire separately. Well-equipped kitchen. We'd love to come again.
Hans R. · July 2019VRBO
A beautiful, quiet house with a lovely pond you can swim in. The stairs to the first floor are very steep. I'd happily come back here again. Very well furnished and spacious. The quiet location means no traffic. Perfect!
Alexandra M. · April 2019VRBO
Excellent short fishing break — Contact was very friendly. Everything went perfectly on site! The house was in excellent condition. We would definitely book again. We also had a few successful days' fishing.
Martin S. · April 2019VRBO
Very good — Beautiful kitchen with a spacious dining area. Lots of space both inside and out. Friendly hosts.
Michael K. · April 2018VRBO
The house is great, there's loads of space, the rooms are nicely furnished and everything is there, including in the fantastic kitchen. We enjoyed the pond with its raft for swimming, the cows, herons and birds, and the passing boats. Leeuwarden is a lovely little city and the Alde Feanen are well worth a visit too. The icing on the cake: I finally discovered Heer Bommel! Wonderful reading.
Barbara · July 2017Airbnb
A holiday week for the family with teenagers and young adults. Warm welcome (thank you, Paulien), the house is easy to live in and beautifully located on the canal, where large houseboats and lots of small boats pass by. Well-equipped kitchen, the living-dining room is friendly and comfortable, the rooms are quiet and the beds perfect. We had hired a motor boat (sloop), handy and fun, essential for getting around the area. A good base for a trip to the Wadden Sea islands, and Leeuwarden is close by (lovely city centre) for a city break. Restful and rural, truly exotic!
Judith · July 2017Airbnb
A lovely spot and a beautiful farmhouse.
Ad · May 2017Airbnb
Great little house in the beautiful countryside of Friesland
Julius · May 2017Airbnb
Super beautiful place! You can't go wrong booking here if you're after space, peace, water sports, beautiful nature and great beds. Recommended!
Niek · April 2017Airbnb
Beautiful house, lots of privacy
Carin · January 2017Airbnb
A lovely place to stay with family. Lively enough thanks to the canal, with boats passing by every day. Cosy and warm, beautiful view!
Chantal · January 2017Airbnb
Very long review (Christmas stay, ages 26–80). Key points: saw a white-tailed eagle, geese sleep in the nature reserve across the water, the partly thatched roof gives warmth and cosiness, cats, a separate toilet in the entrance hall as an extra bathroom, CD player, excellently equipped kitchen (convection oven, citrus press, blender, mortar — no hand mixer), Grou 8 km away via bascule bridges, Sneek 20 minutes away. The living-dining room is the heart of the house; every seat at the table has a view of the water.
Britta · December 2016Airbnb
Anna Fleur was very easy to reach both beforehand and during our stay, and a lovely host - even though we never met. Arriving was wonderful, in total peace and privacy, and what a beautiful spot! We found it even nicer and more spacious than in the photos. A fantastic place where truly everything is there for a carefree stay. We spent a weekend there with friends and family - and it turned into a real party. The spacious open-plan kitchen made cooking together a joy, and the rooms gave everyone enough privacy. Highly recommended for weekends with friends/family!
Lotte · November 2016Airbnb
The key was neatly where it was supposed to be — lovely not having to bother anyone and being able to arrive at any time. There were fresh flowers everywhere and the beds were made. There were more than enough towels, and everything was very clean. The cats were lovely company, as was Henkje the chicken with her fresh eggs! Every room has a window with a fly screen! The little harbour works perfectly. Wonderful big garden with seating in the sun everywhere, more than enough comfy chairs, and a large pond you can swim in! The only thing we struggled with a bit was the Wi-Fi and the smart TV. We had a wonderful holiday in this fantastic house in a beautiful spot! Many thanks from our whole family.
Hadewych · July 2016Airbnb
We booked the whole house for our fishing trip and were amazed by the huge, peaceful grounds. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the landscape. The house has everything we needed: a big kitchen, a long dining table with comfortable furniture and a private harbour for our boats. The host met all our wishes and is a very friendly person. We had problems with the harbour gate, but the host sent a mechanic out to us at night, so it was fixed by the next morning! You can even take the boat to the supermarket in the little town of Grou. The chicken was a funny fellow and kept an eye on things all day :-) We enjoyed our stay in your house and recommend the house and you 100%!
Alex · May 2016Airbnb
Quiet, secluded and very clean house — The nearest neighbour lives hundreds of metres away. The house is right on the water and comfortably sleeps 10 without feeling cramped.
