Unique atmosphere between organ and pulpit.
Enjoy in the church hall
Whoever books ievers opts for a holiday home with character. In the center of the former church hall, under the impressive vault, is the long modern living table for 10 people.
Also eye-catching are the centuries-old pulpit, the wood carvings on the gentleman's bench and of course the church organ that hangs high in the room.
Here and there in the church you can see beautiful art objects from Galerie de Vis in Harlingen. They change every now and then, so you might see something new during your next stay in ievers!
Cozy dining with friends.
Snugly warm
You enter ievers through the old church tower. At the top, the church bell from 1537 still indicates the time. However, you barely hear the clock when you’re inside.
The church hall is a large but cosy room with a kitchen, gentleman's pew, modern living table, pulpit and sitting area. At the top of the impressive staircase (incl. Stairlift) is the living room, with a great view over the Frisian countryside. In the back, you will find four bedrooms: one behind the pulpit, three in the modern extension.
During winter, the holiday home is snugly warm because of the underfloor heating, while it’s nice and cool in summer. Solar panels and a heat pump make the house environmentally friendly.
Enter through the clock tower.
An exceptional location
Are you looking for something special for your holiday, for an exceptional location? Then you are welcome in 'ievers', a lovely Frisian church converted into an attractive and luxurious holiday home.
Holiday home ievers is nice and spacious, modern and comfortable. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and can accommodate up to 10 adults.
The large garden has several terraces: some in the sun, others in the shade provided by fruit trees.
People with a disability can also readily access and enjoy ievers.
That not only we are enthusiastic about ievers proves the German magazine Landlust with this laudatory article.
Orange room
All bedrooms are on the ground floor. The orange room is adjacent to the large bathroom and is therefore very suitable for elderly persons or people with disabilities. The window offers a view of the garden and the fields.
The bed has a high-low function. By default, the bed is made with a double duvet. If desired, we can exchange that for two single duvets, or we can split the bed into two single beds.
In each bedroom, including this orange room, you can regulate the temperature with your own thermostat.
Bathroom (accessible bathroom)
Our holiday cottage has two modern bathrooms, both featuring:
- a shower
- a rain shower
- sink
- toilet
- underfloor heating
The largest bathroom has a number of extra facilities that would benefit anyone, but, in particular, the elderly or people with disabilities. This bathroom is directly adjacent to the orange bedroom with high-low bed. More information about this can be found under the heading 'MIVA-suitable'.
Relaxing in the garden
Around the church is a spacious, sheltered garden with beautiful old fruit trees, a barbecue and a swing. There is also a large dining table with benches.
In the garden you can choose where you want to sit; on one of the terraces in the sun or in the shade of the trees, if you prefer.
From the garden, you can take the staircase to the upper terrace. There you will have an unhindered view of the horizon.
Excellent bikes are waiting for you in the bicycle shed. You can use them for free.
A room with a view
On the first floor of ievers, you will find a spacious seating and television corner. From the couch, you have a beautiful view over the vast green meadows.
If you walk through the patio doors and out onto the terrace, you can see the cows, sheep and horses even better. And you can smell the Frisian countryside! In the distance, the local train puffs its way from Leeuwarden to Stavoren.
In order to be able to read leisurely on the large couch, ievers has a small library, which is sure to contain an interesting read for people of all ages.
Upstairs terrace with a view
The outdoor terrace of approx. 30 m2 offers an amazing view of the grass-green meadows, with horses here and there, as well as the world-famous Frisian cows.
On quiet and hot summer days you can hear the sheep below pulling the grass out of the ground. Then you can cosy up with a book or headphones on the big sofa. Lovely!
Kitchen for enthusiasts
The kitchen corner of ievers is equipped with a 6-burner gas stove, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, kettle and coffee maker.
Anyone who likes to cook can enjoy themselves here. In addition to all kinds of kitchen utensils, there is a large amount of crockery.
Thanks to a cooking island, there is enough space to cook together. The open kitchen layout allows you to keep in touch with the rest of the group while stirring the pan.
Are you staying for a week or more? In the utility room you will find a washing machine, tumble dryer and iron.
Second bathroom
