Fantastic lake-side house

We had a great time on this property. If you enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and generally spending time in and around fresh water, you are going to like this place. The house is clean and comfortable. AC can come in useful on hot days. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked. The deck is a strong plus - it is comfortable and has great views. Importantly, the host is absolutely fantastic to deal with.

Perfect for Relaxing

Stayed with my husband and adult daughter. The house is adorable, not to mention clean and well stocked with everything needed for a getaway, from cooking essentials to kayaks! We relaxed on the back deck for morning coffee and meals; sunbathed on the lower pond deck with a good book; and kayaked every day.

Could not have been more perfect!!

What a lovely location! It met our needs perfectly, with a beautiful and tranquil pond-side property and only a 15 min drive to Scusset Beach. I’ve never stayed at a rental with such comfortable beds and bedding! The home was pristine and had everything we needed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water, and the little beach area was the perfect swimming spot for my friend’s three-year-old daughter. We didn’t want to leave and we are already trying to figure out a way to come back next year and stay even longer! The owners were very responsive and friendly - we had one minor issue with the grill the first night and it was resolved immediately. Best vacation stay I’ve had!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Joy Perry

This is our family cottage. My grandfather John found this amazing location while working at Otis airforce base, he was a heavy equipment operator (local 4 in Boston). He and 2 of his friends stumbled upon this quiet dirt road that at the time only had 2 houses built on it. They each bought a lot and a half, cleared the land, and built summer cottages. (Our cottage is nestled in the middle.) My Great Grandparents bought one of the two houses that were first here so at least my Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom had somewhere to stay during construction. With the help of my Grandmother's brothers, both in construction as well, this cottage was built by hand with determination, hard work, and love.
Years went by and multiple generations have had the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful peaceful place. As you can see, this little pond has become quite popular since my Grandfather found it. My parents best friends bought the cottage next to us in the early 1980's, you can see photos of all of us through the years in the photo album. My Grandfather passed away 25 years ago but my Grandmother turned 100 in February and still as sharp as a tac. She loves happy hour, playing cards, and spending time with her girlfriends. I hope your stay here brings you as much laughter and enjoyment it has brought us.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is the perfect retreat for family and friends. It is close to so many great restaurants, bars, breweries, parks, and beaches. You can explore the upper cape and Sandwich town center or just stay at the cottage and fish, kayak, bird watch, or just lay in the hamock.

What makes this property unique

With an outdoor shower and outdoor dining area you will feel reconnected to nature. We keep our cottage stocked, move in ready with utensils, spices, some condiments, paper goods, extra linens, etc.
