About the neighborhood & area
The house is in the quiet neighborhood called the Componistenwijk, in the northern part of Baarn. The forest surrounding Baarn are famous for their mountainbike tracks! Spots like Castle Groeneveld and farm shop Ravenstein are within walking distance. Located in the middle of our country, it's a great base to discover cities like Amsterdam (25min), Utrecht (20min) or Amersfoort (10min) or look up nature, like the Veluwe.
Culture
Some great places to visit nearby are: Castle Groeneveld (5 min walk), Palace Soestdijk (10 min by bike). National Military Museum in Soesterberg (20 min by car). The nearby village Laren has the beautiful art museum Singer (10 min by car).
Amsterdam (25 min. by car, 40 min by train) has a rich history and has one of the highest density of museums in the world. On the Museum Square you can find the Rijksmuseum (e.g. Rembrandts Nightwatch), the Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum are based. Also NEMO Science Museum, Hortus Botanicus, the Hermitage, Tropenmuseum and the Jewish Historical Museum are worth a visit. Furthermore you have Utrecht (the fourth largest city in the Netherlands), historical Amersfoort and Hilversum (Dutch Media city) nearby.
Food & Drinks
Baarn has some nice restaurants within a 10 min bike ride. Tutto Pepe (3 min. walk) is a nice Italian restaurant with great pizza and cocktails. Eemlust is on located on the other side of Baarn, next to the river Eem. Great food, great atmosphere. One of our favorite spots to visit is 'Buiten in de kuil', a great restaurant in the middle of the forest between Baarn and Lage Vuursche. Great lunch and sometimes dinner directly from the open fire on the terrace overlooking the forest. Boerderij Ravenstein (10 min walk) has a great coffee shop and store. In the spring/summer you can get an ice cream there or pik flowers in the 'pluktuin' (picking garden). There are some cute animals - like donkey Charlotte - to visit as well! Looking for a simple but good lunch of afternoon drinks near the woods? Visit the Generaal.
Shopping
Baarn has a nice shopping street and of course various supermarkets. We will leave you some suggestions that you can visit.

It was a genuine pleasure to make exchange with Kimberly. Everything was perfectly prepared. it was a bonus that we met with them in both directions.
Marteen and Kimberly's home is really as cosy as described in the description. The house and garden are super kid-friendly and very confortable !
Notre premier échange avec Intervac a été une réussite ! Kimberley et Marteen sont adorables et attentionnés (merci pour les petits cadeaux). L'accueil a été parfait dans leur jolie maison. Toute notre famille s'est sentie "comme à la maison". L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Amsterdam et les alentours. La communication a été parfaite avant, pendant et après le séjour. Merci beaucoup pour votre confiance. A notre retour, nous avons retrouvé notre maison propre et rangée. Une superbe expérience pour laquelle nous gardons de merveilleux souvenirs. Thank you so much !

Hi! Nice to meet you.
We are Maarten and Kimberly and we have two sons, Otis (born April 2019) and Abel (born August 2022). Maarten is a transformation manager and Kimberly is a Partnership Manager and Fundraiser at Lungfund.
We live in a lovely home from the 60's in Baarn, just a 5 minute walk from the woods. We used to live in Amsterdam, but wanted to move to a place closer to nature when we became parents. So now we enjoy our garden and the woods that surround our town! Luckily, big cities as Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort are not far away, if we're in the mood for a more buzzing vibe.
We love culture & art, food & drinks and enjoy long walks. We also love to travel. We got introduced to Intervac via a colleague of Kimberly and had lovely exchanges ever since! First it was just the 2 of us, but we've been exchanging as a family as well! For us it's an adventurous way to discover new places and show our two boys what the world has to offer.
Please contact us when you have any questions or if you'd like to make an exchange suggestion! We're open to anything!
