About this property

Charming cottage tucked away in the woods, convenient to ponds, town, ocean

This 2-bedroom cottage is nestled on a wooded hillside overlooking a salt marsh in the Indian Neck area of Wellfleet. Wildlife abounds around the cottage, with regular sightings of rabbits, foxes, turtles, wild turkeys, and many types of songbirds. There are several other small cottages nearby on the hillside.

There is a large deck with a dining table that seats six, four Adirondack chairs, and a gas grill, as well as a fully-enclosed outdoor shower with hot water.

The open-plan living space has two sets of sliding doors that open up onto the deck, providing ample natural light. There is a small but well-equipped kitchen, renovated in winter 2023. Appliances include a full-size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and food processor. In the kitchen, you'll also find an AquaTru countertop reverse osmosis drinking water system that provides ultra clean water for drinking and cooking. A counter height table with seating for four is between the kitchen and living area. Two additional chairs are in the hallway closet.

The comfortable living area adjacent to the kitchen has a spacious sofa and two armchairs, along with a TV equipped with basic cable and a Roku device to connect your preferred streaming services. Three skylights in kitchen/living area provide extra light and open up to help cool the house throughout the day (there is air conditioning too!). Behind the cottage you’ll find an extra-large hammock surrounded by towering pitch pines.

The house has mini-split AC/heat units in each bedroom and in the main room to keep you comfortable on particularly hot or cold days. New luxury vinyl plank flooring installed in bedrooms in 2022; Pella sliding patio doors installed spring 2023.

Lastly, we're attentive, easy-to-reach owners and focused on ensuring that you'll enjoy a stay at our lovely little cottage. We're sure you will fall in love with the Indian Neck area of Wellfleet.

Gem of a rental
Our first day of vacation was during the hurricane. Heather was very accommodating so that we could make some changes. She also responds very quickly to all emails! Her rental was very clean and so comfortable. She has thought of everything. Indian Neck is a special place. The bay is a short walk. The ocean is a short drive. There are fantastic places to eat. We didn’t want to leave! We were two couples. You couldn’t fit more people in this space but it was fine for the 4 of us. I would definitely rent this place again. Thank you Heather for everything!

Lovely house! Great location!
We really enjoyed staying here. The house is beautiful and comfortable, though small. The deck does a very nice job of extending the living space and we used it for most of our meals, morning coffee, reading, sitting and watching the birds on the bird feeders .... Staying here definitely added to our enjoyment of the cape!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Halliwell

Host profile image
We are a family of three from Washington DC. We started coming to Wellfleet on vacation nearly 10 years ago and we quickly fell in love with the natural beauty and laid-back vibe of the Outer Cape.

Why they chose this property

We’ve rented this cottage for years and when we had the opportunity to buy it we couldn’t pass it up. We love sitting on the deck under the pine trees with our morning coffee, hopping on our bikes to pedal down to Indian Neck Beach, and exploring the trails and sand roads that wind through the woods and along the marsh.
