Curious about who you will be staying with? We would like to introduce ourselves to you.

Hi, I'm Marten. I have a small, active dairy farm located on the Grote Gaastmeer in It Heidenskip (Southwest Friesland). The most beautiful spot in Friesland of course!
I milk the cows twice a day. In addition to all the work on the farm, I am interested in vintage tractors. Landini is my favorite tractor brand. I enjoy tinkering and getting something that is broken to work again.

Hi, I'm Esther. Keeping track of the advertising page and the bookings is completely my thing. Traveling is my passion. Going on a new adventure, getting to know other customs and habits; I really enjoy that.

If our work permits, we enjoy joint trips or a short vacation.

Oant sjen! Marten & Esther
