Riverside Studio - 20 min from Amsterdam

The Riverside Studio is a perfect place to feel good and especially to slow down and relax after a busy work week. Beautifully located on a lake a bit outside of the city Amsterdam you can enjoy the life on the houseboat especially on sunny days like we had the last weekend. 

Lysanne is a great host. She prepared everything nicely and was very kind. 

We recommend the place and would come back at any time to enjoy the lake, the city and the possibility to relax and have time for ourselves and each other!

Thank you Lysanne for the nice stay!

Lysanne is an amazing person, very prone to help her guests and let them enjoy her stunning place. 

The location is a little far from Amsterdam and it is easier to achieve by car then by public transportation, but it absolutely deserves a visit! I appeciated stay in a greeny area not in the busy city to have a big rest and see beautiful nature!

The houseboat inside is cozy and romantic, perfect for a couple, you can have a good breakfast outside along the canal with the company of birds, ducks and the other boats passing by. If you want to cook by yourselves is also possible as the kitchen is fully furnished.

Absolutely recommended!!

The visit to Lysannes houseboat was everything we expected it to be.

The view is beautiful, making breakfast outside a true vacation experience. The daily morning visits by ducks, goose and seagulls provided perfect entertainment. 

The nights were quiet and gave the energy needed for trips to the very close and beautiful city of Amsterdam.

 Looking back, we wished, we had stayed longer! Someday we will surely come back!

My husband and I spent a few days in Lysann's wonderful houseboat. It was the most relaxed days in years. Here you can really relax, with a wonderful view and nice stretches to run.

It was wonderful staying. Strongly recommended :)

Lysanne was a great host and the Riverside Studio was the perfect place to escape the city, enjoy some sun and have a swim.

Great location, very hard-working and friendly hostess, clean accommodation, a wonderful place to relax and feel good! We will come back. Lg Vanessa & Daniel

The view was fantastic and the furnitures were modern, it was in good distance to the station and to Amsterdam!

We liked it very much and we will come again. Thank you! We could even stay till the afternoon! 

We spent a night in Lysanne's houseboat and the staying was lovely. It's very cozy, well equiped with everything you need and the views are beautifull. Very peacfull, just what we needed.

I would repeat without any doubts.

Lysanne helped us with everything we needed and it couldn't be nicer with us.

Dear Lysanne,

your Houseboat is a dream!!! We were totally relaxed! You thought of everything, to feel good. It is small but very nice! We like it here and we are sad that we have to go home, but we will come back. Beata + Willy

My stay in the Riverside studio was a joy. There was peace, comfort, a beautiful view and a fascinating aquatic life: ducks, swans, coots, grebes, they all passed by, with or without young offspring. It is wonderful to observe this usually hidden life from so close. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Also from swimming in the river, from musing outside in the evening sun, from the comfortable bed and the attractive bathroom. It was fantastic in every way!

Very nice little place for discovering Amsterdam's area.

You don't only see a beautiful landscape from the studio.... you are in the landscape, on the shore of the river, with birds, ducks and fishes as companions.

Special thanks to Lysanne for her kindness.

Next time we come in Amsterdam, we'll try to stay at this place.

A big thank you to Lysanne for the wonderful times I have had with her on the houseboat close to Amsterdam. If, like me, you spend your life in the hectic madness of a big city and you occasionally need to get away and centre yourself, then Lysanne's houseboat is a hidden secret you need to know about. I love being so close to and at the same level as the water and the nature that floats by on it. Being on the canal brings you face to face with ducks, swans, cormorants and other water birds and there is something very special about the soft noise of the water lapping the sides of the houseboat. Part of the magic is waking up and looking right across the canal to a horizon of reeds and low fields broken up by beautiful willows. Breakfast, in fact any meal, on the deck is pretty special as well. If you want to think things through and take a step back to examine things that count then the surroundings could not be better. Basically, it is one of those places that does stay with you when you leave - the quiet and the peace stay with you - even back in the madness of London.

We enjoyed our stay a whole lot. The little room is newly renovated, nicely decorated and the view is awesome. Lysanne was a great host as well. 

I booked the Riverside Studio as a valentine's day gift for my boyfriend and we both LOVED it. The place was small but cozy, very clean and everything was provided. We loved feeding the ducks and swans and I had a lot of fun browsing through the numerous interesting books that were on the bookshelves. The bed was comfortable and large enough even for my boyfriend, who is almost 2 meters tall. 

But what we really loved the most about the stay and what will surely make us come back and also recommend it to others is Lysanne's unique and incredible hospitality. Unfortunately, I was unable to meet her in person, since she was away the weekend we booked, but she actually filmed a personalized video just for us, in which she showed us around the studio and wished us a warm welcome. She was happy to quickly provide me with any information I required when booking and was super caring; she even wrote us a message to check if everything was fine and if we moved in okay. Amazing woman. I warmly and whole-heartedly recommend staying at this place. Thank you for everything, Lysanne! :) <3 

We are a couple from Berlin and we had a wonderful time. It is tiny but smart und full of lovely details.

we will return:-)

We had a very good time there. It's a beautiful quiet Areal around. The owner is very friendly. 

It's better to go there by car because it is a small village. The bus is driving every hour but not on Sunday.

Greetings to Lysanne and thank you for driving us.

We had 3 very nice days on the Riverside studio. The houseboat is very nice and is very well equipped. The view from the terrace is amazing. The houseboat is also very well located in a quiet neighborhood, but no to far from Amsterdam, if you like to spend a day there as well. Lysanne is very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed!

We stayed for three nights in the beautiful houseboat that is exactly as the pictures and the lovely owner describe it. We felt comfortable from the first moment! Everything is very clean, modern and practically furnished and arranged. The bathroom is great, the small kitchen well equipped, the great view from the fold-out bed is fantastic. We would come back anytime. Also to watch the many ducks, swans and seagulls swimming in front of the balcony door.

Fantatic opportunity to visit Amsterdam while escape the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Great accommodation with everything you need for a perfect stay. Very nice hostess.
Great location and beautiful view of the water.
We will come back

very well received, a very nice view and nice pity that it is so small, thank you for the lady is very kind and thank you again for the little note on the kitchen door

we spent two nights in the beautiful Lysenne houseboute. She is simply fantastic, very helpful, kind and discreet ... she even offer us two beers produced locally, that we enjoyed on the small terrace in absolute peace ... very romantic! The small room on the water is simply fantastic for the canal location, with wonderful nature. It is equipped with everything .. nothing is missing, just like in the description. All very clean. The foldaway bed is very comfortable. It was a shame to stay there so little time ... I'd like to come back.!!

It was a amazing experience to stay and sleep at the houseboat. We like it a lot.

I would prefer to move in and never leave. What a very nice place. Can't wait to come again.

This houseboat is the optimal place for couples or two friends to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Netherlands' river landscape. The ingenious furniture ensures that the small room never feels cramping. The close proximity to Amsterdam enables day-trips to the fantastic capitol. This is definitely a "would-do-again"-houseboat!

Thanks to Lysanne everything was very nice, comfortable, warm and with the stunning view! I will recommend.

Dear Lysanne,

we had a great stay at your beautiful Boat. Everything was there for a perfect short trip to the netherlands. We wish you all the best!

I absolutely LOVED staying in this cute little houseboat. It was clean, cosy and quiet. Lysanne amazing! We didn't have to worry about anything. It's a nice stay for both couples as just friends or family. You should really go there!

Thank you for having us. We really enjoyed our staying in this wonderful houseboat. The houseboat is very clean, tidy, with nice terrace and amazing view to the river. Very pleasant and helpful owner, it's a calm and quiet place, and we definitely will come back.

Beautiful and well furnished. Pleasant landlord.

We loved it! It is such a cosy studio and Lysanne is a great host. This is one of the most fun holidays we’ve had in the Netherlands.

Stayed in the boathouse for three days and it's a gorgeous little place. Very quiet and beautiful area around the boathouse. The place is small but has everything you would need. A bit far from the city so a car is a must

Lysanne was very helpful and mindful.

I recommended to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing weekend.

It was a wonderful experience to spend the night on your houseboat. I would only book here when I come to Amsterdam next time. Thank you for your hospitality and the nice introduction

Had a great time on this houseboat, Lysanne is super friendly and lovely. Location is good, just 20 minutes drive from Amsterdam. Super cozy, very clean and chill houseboat. Would come back here anytime!!
