STILL OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 2026: The Twadde Hûske is a cozy, colourful apartment with a calming view of the meadows in Marum. Located on a quiet private road, you can enjoy complete privacy and a lovely terrace with lounge chairs. The charming accommodation features a new kitchen and bathroom, as well as air conditioning (cooling/heating). A fully equipped home base for up to 5 people and a baby. Come here to relax and unwind! 🫶 The space Welcome to Het Twadde Hûske! This ground floor apartment (opened since April 2025) has been decorated with much love and care according to the latest colorful living trends. Equipped with brand-new furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely bathroom. Thanks to the central air conditioning (cooling and heating), you can enjoy optimal comfort here in every season. Bedroom: The apartment features 1 separate bedroom with a 180×200 bed and 220×240 duvet and a wardrobe (including hangers and a basket with extra towels). The bed is provided with nice bedding on arrival. There are blackout curtains and a mosquito net. (In the living room there is another double sofa bed). On request, there is an additional folding mattress available for a possible fifth guest, suitable for example when you are passing through and staying 1 night. There is no window in the bedroom that can open, only a ventilation grill in one of the windows. The bedroom is therefore equipped with an extra air purifier to provide you with extra fresh air. Do not expect a soundproof bedroom, the interior walls are made of wood, which will allow you to hear any fellow guests. Earplugs are provided. Bathroom: There is a bathroom with toilet, shower cabin, washbasin, towels, washcloths and hair dryer. Also here you will find the washing machine+ a drying rack and clothes steamer. Use of the washing machine incl. supplies is included in your stay. Kitchen: The kitchen is equipped with a 2-burner stove, an air fryer, a Dolce Gusto coffee machine including cups, a milk frother (PFAS-free), a kettle, a small fridge (with a mini freezer compartment), and plenty of utensils for 4 people. Living room: The living room has a round 4-person dining table, a two-person sofa bed(is quite hard, there is therefore an extra topper available + bedding to make the sofa bed yourself) and a TV (on which you can only stream with the chromecast present!). Wi-Fi is available. Parking: a maximum of 2 cars can be parked directly at the cottage. For several cars, please discuss where they can be parked in order to keep the passage free for the neighbors. Extras just for you: In addition to the cozy homely atmosphere with lots of greenery, everything is available to make it as easy/delicious as possible for you; air conditioning, the double bed is made on arrival, lungo coffee cups, tea, sugar, milk powder, sweets, kitchen linen, kitchen towels, garbage bags, household wrap, sandwich bags, first aid box, oil, pepper/salt, herbs, toilet paper, dish soap, shower gel, towels, washcloths shampoo, deodorant, hair dryer, bathrobes, perfume, scent diffuser with essential oil, homemade natural organic detergent and natural fabric softener. But also all kinds of games, books and magazines. Kids: For the little ones, there is plastic cutlery and crockery, spout cup available. There is also a camping bed (+ duvet and pillow of the IKEA and bedding) and a play mat available on request. The high chair, changing mat, baby wipes, and (outdoor) toys are always available. Yard: Outside there is a cozy seating area with 2 lounge chairs, table, parasol and picnic table equipped with cozy lamps. There is anti mosquito repellent in the bathroom drawer. Do not expect a tightly maintained terrace, this is a conscious choice because many of this weeds are good for biodiversity and this gives the "nature"cottage in my view extra charm:) In the storage garden box there is a tablecloth and outdoor toys. Would you like to provide the flowers with water for longer stays? 🫶 Be prepared to walk at least 2 km before you are at a beautiful hiking area or at the village center, so bring your bike or car to be sufficiently mobile. The apartment is next to the Zethuisje, my former Airbnb, which is now rented out long-term to quiet guests. Both accommodations are located at the front of a farmyard, on a private road (so no general traffic) overlooking the meadows, both have their own garden, parking space and are closed from the inside. The apartment is adjacent to the utility room of the other house, so you will hear little each other. What can be done (with children) around the Twadde Hûske? Well, hold on... a lot!

If you have different wishes, please bring it yourself. *There is no breakfast included. *The Twadde Hûske is completely non-smoking. *Pets are not allowed. *Farm is not accessible. *Candles are not allowed in the house.
