Excellent location and the property is bigger than it appears in photos. The pond is not as close as I thought it would be, but we really didn’t use it anyway. We spent most of the time in the enclosed porch which was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Our family of 4 needed a change of scenery. This cottage provides the best of lake and close ocean beach activities. Close to restaurants and shopping. We had a very relaxing stay.
This was an ideal location and setting for us, close to places we wanted to visit, but in a quiet serene surrounding. It is a cottage, with the compactness you'd expect, but has been nicely redone and was perfect for my adult daughter and I to each have our own bedroom and plenty of common space. We would definitely consider returning. There were a few issues of confusion or things that could use attention. First, the outer enclosed porch area door was broken, barely able to latch, and definitely no way to lock it. We originally planned to store bikes there but didn't feel ok about keeping an expensive borrowed bike there. There was a key box with combo on the outside of this area but we never figured out how to open it, seems like no longer in use? But the inner part opened properly and could be securely locked. There is a very active yellow jacket wasp nest in the ground between the walk to the outdoor shower and the rhododendron bush. There was a dirty/hairy fitted sheet on one of the beds that the cleaning service should have removed. (We brought all our own linens as instructed, I assume this was left behind by someone before us.) The bathroom could really use a towel rack and some hooks (like on the back of the door.) But mostly these were fairly minor issues that can be fixed or clarified. On the whole we had a great stay and would consider returning next year.

Cozy retreat
My partner and I had a wonderful time at this cozy, comfortable cottage on White Pond. The cottage was neat and had every amenity we needed. Also it offers a superb location in Chatham, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and a bike trail.
The pictures dont do the place justice, its a really nice home away from home. Property manager was just a phone call away when i needed specific directions. 5 stars.
Communication with Meredith was quick and easy. The cabin/cottage is quaint and just enough room for my wife and two teens. It’s close to the center of town, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and steps to the pond.
Great spot. Good place. It was almost as if they didn’t realize anyone was coming to stay. I think it had been a while since anyone had been there. Had to knock down a few cobwebs and take care of few other things too. It’s in a really good spot. Nice neighbors.

No WiFi! This is not the cottage we signed up for. Given that, we didn't know what we were getting.
The view was great and the bed was comfy. However, there were a lot of missteps with this one. The shower curtains were mildewed, the dish drainer was so rusty I wouldn't use it, the dark carpet stain was unsightly, a light in the bathroom didn't work and other easily fixable issues that weren't attended to before our stay. Having had better accommodations on the Cape for less, we really felt cheated for the price we paid.
Looking for a great place to go up scale camping this cozy cabin is a great choice. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. If the lake your at is not your cup of tea your only a short drive to the local beaches.
My two teenage kids and I had a great stay. Beautiful setting, nicely updated cottage, very clean and an overall great setting that is just far enough from the road. Thank you!!
This was a last minute getaway. The cottage was clean and provided exactly what we needed. Loved the pricing too. The beach was a short walk, about 1.5 miles away. Lots of restaurants all along Main St.
Ideal location; close to everything. Check in was smooth with only a minor issue which the owner quickly resolved. The cottage is part of a large group of cottages on Route 28 in Chatham. Cottages are close together, but the layout is such that it feels relatively private. The cottage has a portable heater which we needed on a couple nights.
The only minor issues included a dirty fry pan that was never cleaned and had dried egg in it and the shelf in the fridge was very dirty.
I would offer the comment that the cottage is perfect for two people, but would be very tight for more then two.
This property is in a small condo community, very peaceful and quiet. We had three different neighbors during our stay and only noticed they were there when we ran into each other loading and unloading. The water is great for swimming or kayaking. The house itself is very clean (make sure to bring your own linens!) and looks like it has been recently updated with the exception of the bathroom (which could use it but it was not in bad shape). The outdoor shower was great too, helped keep the house easy to clean up for checkout. The best part of the property in our opinion was the four-season porch (which adds about 200 sq feet to the property), the fans out there kept us cool when it was hot, and you could close up the screen windows with the sliding glass inserts if it was cold. We spent the majority of our time out there. Loved it!
