We decided to take a quick family getaway in February, when Lucas had vacation from work. We didn't want to go too far, as one never knows how the weather will be, and I would have to come back to our home area for a doctor's appointment. We limited out search to somewhere within an hour from home.
We settled on Leukermeer Resort, in the Netherlands. It is a large vacation park set on the banks of the Leukermeer, a lovely lake. Much of it is planned for camping (trailers, not tents) but there are also a number of houses, maihly on the waterfront -- which is what we love.
We took what they call a "villa", which was actually like a rowhouse (townhouse) on two levels, with more housing attached. We had a corner unit. I had specifically sought out one of these villas as they were literally waterfront. Here the entraance:
And here the view from inside!
There was a half-bath on the main floor. Upstairs were two bedrooms, each with a bathroom, including walk-in showers.
I could have spent my whole time looking out at the water and birds and nature.
The sunrises were stunning, and I fell in love with this tree.
It was truly a family vacation -- couldn't leave Anton home, now could we?
A few minutes' walk from our house was this bridge, which crosses over to a protected nature area.
Our deck. Unfortunately the February weather was not conducive to deck-sitting.
You can rent one of these houseboats to stay on!
A good time was had by all.
