About this property

Waterfront Cottage on Private Lake with Dock

Our neighbors are starting a remodel of their house. Phase 1 is the removal of trees and the installation of a septic tank during the spring and summer of 2025. Phase 2 is the demolition of the old home starting September 2025. The construction of the new home will start in the fall of 2025. I do not know the completion date. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Nestled between oaks and pines along the East-facing shoreline of Big Sandy Pond, our welcoming little cottage beckons the vacation experience, a perfect spot to relax during the summer. Spend your days kayaking, sailing, fishing, or water skiing from your own private dock on the lake. Swim in the crystal clear lake at the beautiful white sand neighborhood beach a mere two-minute walk away.

The 134-acre lake is managed as a catchable trout pond and is annually stocked in the spring and fall with Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout. Just 15 minutes from Cape Cod and historic Plymouth and only 45 minutes from Boston and Providence, a myriad of activities await you and your family.

Whether you enjoy water sports, or like to golf, shop, eat, or visit the many nearby historic sites and museums, everyone will find something special at Big Sandy Cottage.

Fully furnished cottage with two bedrooms, sleeping loft, and one bath. Sleeps four in the bedrooms, up to two small kids in the loft, and two additional adults on the living room sofa bed.

Large 10' x 30' deck overlooking the lake is perfect for an afternoon barbecue. Large private dock extends 28' into the lake with a 8' x 16' swim platform

Free Wireless Internet, TV, DVD (with movie library), stereo, provisioned kitchen, and all linens are included.

There is even a basement storage room with laundry facilities. Off street parking with room for boat trailer is available.

Big Sandy Pond trip

We spent the week here and absolutely loved it! The lake was so peaceful and the cottage had everything we needed! Jeff was attentive to our questions and promptly had the grill taken care of when it wasn’t working. Our adult daughters joined us for a few days and also loved the stay. We will definitely consider staying again in the future.Charlie and Rebecca

Great place to stay. The one upgrade that is needed is a new queen mattress; it desperately needs replaced!

Family getaway

Absolutely gorgeous cottage by the lake. It was perfect for our family of 6 that doesn’t want to rent 2 hotel rooms with a view of nothing special. Definitely felt like a family cottage rather than just a rental property.

Although I stayed in February watching the surmise over the water was still beautiful. The kitchen is well appointed and beds were cozy. If I’m ever back in Cape Cod, I’d stay again!

Lovely getaway

My husband and I had a lovely autumn getaway. The cottage is really pretty and cozy situated directly on the lake. Views were beautiful and everything was clean and welcoming. There was even some champagne for us in the fridge. The owner was very responsive to any questions I had. We would stay here again.

beautiful lake (pond) home

We stayed for a few days in September while the weather was still nice and warm, we enjoyed the view and while neighbors are close the location is quiet and peaceful. Check in / check out was easy and the owner communicated directly, responded to questions quickly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cute Lake House

Lovely place to stay for a few days! Lots of games and jigsaw puzzles for older kids/adults. Many beautiful sunrises and sunsets viewed from deck. We had an issue with the water being black/iron smell, notified owners with quick response. Plenty of “extras” available throughout house so just had to buy food. Beds very comfortable! Close to historic Plymouth Center & Cape Cod. Small but quaint. All in all kids loved it.

Fantastic house in a gorgeous location

The lake house at Big Sandy Pond was extremely restful and FUN! We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise in the morning, the gorgeous fall leaves, and the kayaking! It was a perfect week, and the house was fully equipped to provide maximum comfort for a perfect vacation. We couldn't be happier!
