Characterful old dike house on the waterfront

The Zwarte Schuur is a unique vacation home with a rich history. The property once served as a storage place for dike guards who guarded the dike and has now been transformed into an attractive and comfortable stay. Inside you will find a bright living space with modern amenities, a fully equipped kitchen and cozy seating area. The combination of robust beams, warm materials and contemporary decor creates an authentic, relaxed atmosphere. The space De Zwarte Schuur is a unique place on the old Westfriese Omringdijk, where peace, space and style come together. From the kitchen at the front, you overlook the dike, and from the upper floor, you have a wide view over the Markermeer. On the upper floor, there is a beautiful open space with a cozy lounge area and a workspace with views over the water. The spacious master bedroom exudes tranquility and comfort, while the two cozy king-size bed alcoves are a nod to the past, but with the convenience of today. The modern bathroom completes the floor. Downstairs, the large kitchen-diner forms the heart of the house: a wonderful place to cook, dine and enjoy together. At the back, the cozy sitting area with pellet stove invites you to relax with a good glass of wine or a book. The Zwarte Schuur is the ideal base for those who love stylish design, comfort and the charm of the Dutch countryside – with Lake Markermeer and cozy towns like Edam-Volendam and Hoorn literally around the corner. Guest access All rooms are accessible to guests. Other things to note De Zwarte Schuur has been restored very recently and is cherished by us as an important heritage site. For this reason, we do not welcome groups of young people here. Other groups in consultation. De Zwarte Schuur is located on the edge of a nature reserve on the dike and is suitable for those seeking peace and quiet. Families with children are welcome; there is a crib and a high chair. However, please contact us in advance about the location. We have restored and redecorated the building with great care and love. We therefore ask for respect for the house and the nature surrounding it. Smoking and pets are unfortunately not allowed. If anything is damaged or breaks, please let us know. We will then discuss together how to resolve this.
