Am a Dutch person and can confirm. However, it's a word that has multiple meanings and cannot be directly translated. In the literal sense, it means cozy or quaint, but can also mean time spent with loved ones, meeting with a friend after a long time, or a general feeling of togetherness.
Is this related to the German word "gemütlich"?
More or less, but German has the similar word “gesellig” which has the same meaning
I think it looks and sounds (if you pronounce it german) like "gesellig" which partially also fits with it's meaning.

Maybe convivial comes close?
