Vinkeveen Cabin south

Cabin South: Unique Log Cabin on an Island in the Vinkeveen Plassen

Located on an idyllic island in the middle of the Vinkeveen Plassen, just 20 km from Amsterdam and Utrecht and 12 km from Schiphol Airport, you will find Cabin South. This charming log cabin offers a unique experience for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.

Self-Sufficient Tiny House on an Island in the Vinkeveense Plassen
Imagine: an island in the serene Vinkeveense Plassen with a self-sufficient 16 m² Tiny House, perfect for an adventurous getaway. This cozy cottage accommodates two people and is fully equipped with a toilet, electricity, heater, TV, refrigerator, and gas stove. Additionally, you’ll enjoy 100 m² of private outdoor space, ideal for relaxation and making a campfire. And good news: your dog is welcome too!

The island offers the ultimate combination of luxury and adventure, but don’t forget to be well prepared—forgetting groceries can be a challenge since you are in the middle of an island. With your booking, you will have access to a boat with a small combustion engine, for which no license is required. Don’t worry if you are not familiar with boating; we will take 30 minutes to teach you the basic skills. You will learn the rest as you go during your stay.

Also, don’t forget that the weather feels more intense on an island. We often talk about it in the Netherlands, but you will really experience it here—so make sure you are prepared for the elements.

Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or an adventurous vacation, our Tiny House on the Vinkeveen Plassen offers a unique opportunity to experience nature in comfort and style.

The fish stock
The Vinkeveense Plassen is a beautiful environment but challenging for fishing. The water is crystal clear up to 10 to 15 meters deep. You’ll find pike, zander, bream, tench, roach, and carp swimming here. The predators find the clear water interesting and hunt enthusiastically. For carp angling, the challenge is a bit greater. We recommend using a lead clip system because there’s a lot of recreational boating on the Vinkeveense Plassen. And don’t use too many particles unless you want bream at your feeding spot. Once the bream are there, they come in large schools. You should also be mindful of crayfish.

Accommodation:
Cabin South is equipped with all basic necessities for a comfortable stay in nature. The cabin has an outdoor toilet and shower, a simple kitchen with two cooking hobs, a refrigerator, and a fire pit with BBQ. The shower and taps use water from the lake, and upon arrival, you’ll find a filled jerry can with clean drinking water ready for you.

Facilities and Space:
Inside, you’ll find two beds that can be used separately or as a double bed, as well as a seating area. Outside, there’s a beautiful terrace connecting to a grass area, surrounded by panoramic water views. With 150 m² of free space around the cabin and plenty of room for your own boat, Cabin South is a perfect base for relaxation.

Activities:
From the island, you can jump straight into the Vinkeveense Plassen for a refreshing swim. Vinkeveen is known for its clean swimming water, making it ideal for swimmers. Of course, fishing is also a popular activity here.
