Welcome to B&B
"Weerribben Lodgerie"
OUR PLACE
In the middle of the Weerribben, in the tiny village of "Nederland" lies our authentic thatched farmhouse from 1930. This farm used to be used as a dairy farm and the milk cans were transported on narrow punt boats over the water behind our farm. There were no roads yet and it was hard work in those days (everything was done by hand)
In the Visitor Center of Staatsbosbeheer, Hoogeweg 27 in Ossenzijl (nice bike ride) you can see the entire history of the Weerribben, including the peat cutters and reed cutters #free entrance #recommended
WEERRIBBEN LODGE
In the original and former ' front house' we have created our first B&B Lodge with a luxurious bathroom, kitchenette with mini fridge, oven for bread rolls and (according to many guests) a lovely Swiss Sense bed.
The garden and jetty are completely free for you as a guest to use with all privacy. On nice days we serve the regional breakfast on this jetty if desired! Is n't it great, fresh breakfast on the water with a view of the boats, who wouldn't want that?
NEW: WIEDEN LODGE
Our 2nd B&B Wieden Lodge is ready! A beautifully decorated BnB with private terrace and wide views of the rural Natura 2000 area. A luxurious bathroom & kitchenette, NOW AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING!

Discover the Weerribben...
Weerribben-Wieden, one of the most extraordinary areas in the Netherlands and the largest bog in Northwest Europe. Thanks to human hands cutting peat and reed, a unique landscape was created, full of lakes, waterways, reedlands, marsh forests and quaking bogs. A past full of peat and reed has created a stunning present. Breathtaking nature, endless water and historical towns and villages with great shops and amazing places to eat and drink. Delight in the wonders of Giethoorn & the water villages, the National Park & the heart of peat, Zuiderzee & the trading towns, and Steenwijk & the high lands.

Wie zijn wij?
We are Alfred and Esther Roelofs and after 25 years in Almere it was time for an "I'M LEAVING" moment and we changed course.. Moving from the big city to the neighborhood community 'Nederland' in a cozy authentic thatched farmhouse in the middle of the Weerribben in the head of Overijssel.. After a renovation of 1.5 years, our house and the B&B Lodges have become super beautiful & atmospheric! We are close to Giethoorn, Dwarsgracht, Kalenberg and Blokzijl with the most beautiful cycling routes! Drenthe and Friesland are also around the corner:-) We hope to meet you sometime in our B&B.
