Nestled in the peaceful village of Ossenzijl, our luxurious detached villas at Waterstaete offer a one-of-a-kind stay along the serene waterways of Overijssel. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a group retreat, these stylish villas—available for 4, 6, or 8 guests—feature modern interiors, ensuite bathrooms, a smart TV, and a fully equipped open kitchen. Large windows frame calming water views, and your private terrace and garden provide the perfect spot to unwind.
Each villa boasts a private jetty and your very own electric dinghy (March–October), making it easy to explore the nearby canals, lakes, and nature reserves right from your doorstep. Love to fish or paddle with your pet? These villas sit directly on (fishing) water—perfect for early morning casts or leisurely rides with your dog. The nearby Weerribben-Wieden National Park welcomes leashed pets and offers boat-friendly walking trails and shaded picnic areas.
Just a short drive away, Giethoorn—known as the "Venice of the North"—offers pet-friendly boat rentals and charming cafés with canal-side seating. In Ossenzijl itself, enjoy local specialties at pet-welcoming restaurants like Eetcafé de Steen. Whether it’s morning coffee by the water or dinner under the stars, every moment here invites you—and your four-legged companion—to truly unwind.
Please note: For stays booked between March and the end of October, the boat will be ready and available for you upon arrival at the park.

Arrival/Location
Location and surroundings of object
Waterstaete Ossenzijl opened its doors in May 2019. This luxury holiday resort on the edge of the Weerribben-Wierden National Park will consist of 57 luxurious villas when it is completed. All villas are set on the waterfront (fishing water) and come with a jetty and a dinghy (April to October).
Your typical day might look like this: start the day with some nice, fresh bread rolls on your terrace. After that, you could do some fishing from your own jetty, explore the beautiful surroundings by bike, go sailing on the nearby Frisian lakes or visit one of the many cities in the region. When you return to your villa, you can make yourself comfortable and enjoy all the luxury it has to offer.
The holiday resort has a reception. A sandy beach will be developed later on. There are plenty of things to see and do in the immediate vicinity. Day trips to the surrounding provinces of Friesland, Drenthe and Flevoland are all worthwhile. Think for example of cities like Oldemarkt (5 km), Giethoorn (21 km), Meppel (32 km), Drachten (49 km) and Zwolle (54 km). The national forestry organisation's visitor centre in Ossenzijl can provide you with lots of information about nature reserve De Weerribben. There's an interesting walk in Kalenberg (9 km) that takes you right through the reeds (bring your wellies!). If you want to get a good view across the surroundings, you should visit the lookout tower at De Woldberg in Steenwijk (18 km), near teashop Tuk's Theehuis. Nature lovers have a wide range of cycling and walking tours to choose from. Including less traditional options like GeoRun The Signs. This 11-km long step-bike route uses GPS coordinates to take you along the fields, forests and marshes of the Vechtdal region in Overijssel province. Children will love the following day trips: Avonturenpark Hellendoorn (81 km), Walibi (54 km), Attractiepark Slagharen (65 km), Plopsaland Indoor Coevorden (78 km) and Wildlands Adventure Zoo in Emmen (85 km). To name just a few. Culture enthusiasts might try some of the many museums in the area, like Museum Belvédère in Heerenveen-Oranjewoud (29 km), Anton Pieck Museum in Hattem ( 55 km) and Drents Museum in Assen (65 km).
In short, this ideal holiday destination has something to offer for everyone in the family. Come and unwind in this wonderful waterfront villa!

Very nice and successful accommodation. Good small boat for excursions.

A beautiful and comfortable house. The retrofitting of the fly screens was positively noted. Would gladly return.

Checked in late, and it took less than two minutes. Nice to have a comfortable double bed for a restful night's sleep.

The little things make it better: The garden furniture was comfortable for a coffee in the morning by the lake.

Cozy place for two with all necessary amenities nearby. Perfect for our weekend adventure by the water.
