Great time on the Dana
My husband and I stayed for several days and it was a perfect adventure. We wanted something other than another hotel stay and we got it! Very cozy, well appointed, and a great location. Between the ferries (5 min walk) and the train station (20 min walk), we had everything we needed to get around. Host was incredibly helpful in sharing information. Would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful Weekend in Amsterdam
We had the pleasure of staying at Houseboat Dana for a long weekend. Not only was it cosy, clean and comfortable, but the location was also close to tram/ ferry stops. Dana was the most generous and helpful host we’ve ever had. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a romantic weekend in Amsterdam.

Houseboat
Very fun experience on the houseboat we loved the perch up top for sipping wine and chatting/napping under the sun/rainy sky one day it was so very relaxing. The free ferry is a quick walk away to get into central Amsterdam.

Would visit again!
We stayed here to visit Amsterdam for 2.5 days & we could not have been more pleased! the location was incredible, very different than normal hotels - which made it even better! The owner was the best part; she was so helpful, pleasant & I wish I could have stayed longer just to hang out with her! We aren’t people that like to do the same experience 2x, but we would do this again in a heartbeat!
