FREELODGE, Amsterdam

I bet you didn’t know about these Tiny Houses in De Tuinen van West in Amsterdam. They were build in 2018 and are available for rent but you can also buy them! In total, Freelodge Amsterdam offers seven beautiful lodges, all with the same layout (sleeping 2 + 2 in 2 bedrooms), large terraces and lots of green space around. Each with its own interior style (Marrakech, Botanic, Vintage etc.) Because of Corona, special attention is being paid to cleaning and hygiene. Because they leave all lodges empty for a minimum of 24 hours after a stay – freelodge can only accept bookings of at least 3 nights. In some lodges the minimum is 5 nights. Book here.

VAARHUIS, Friesland

Imagine waking up in a tiny house on the water! You can book this in Friesland. You can book for one night or more, in an original setting, what’s not to like! There are different kinds of floating houses available in Friesland, but the most famous one is type “ScheepsHuisje”.  Don’t worry about playing the captain, your tiny house is being driven by someone who knows how. Good to know, you always pay a Vaarhuisje per person, not per house. Once docked, the captain will leave and you can enjoy the waters and surroundings. You can book several cruises (yes, this is what they call them), 3, 5 or 7 day cruises, that include dinner and of course the captain as your guide.
