About this property

Beautiful Waterfront-Relaxin' on the River!

Relax in this rambling Swan River retreat while the tides go in and out. Relish the multiple window views of river and marsh. Fish, sunbathe, or launch your kayak from the 60-foot private dock. Identify wildlife in its natural habitat - hawks, seabirds, and smaller birds that alight on the deck to feed.

Enjoy every amenity in this fully renovated ranch decorated in nautical style with wood laminate flooring throughout. Lounge in the spacious living room/kitchen below the vaulted ceiling. Settle in the family room to build a puzzle, read, or watch TV. Escape to the master suite with queen-size bed, two-person jacuzzi, shower bath, TV, and deck overlooking the river. One guest bedroom has queen-size bed, the other twin bunk beds, and guest bath has full tub. A fully enclosed outdoor shower offers bathing under the stars.

Within walking distance are restaurants, coffee house, antique shop, boat rental, and convenience store. Just over a mile away in Dennisport village are more antique and gift shops plus large grocery store. Close by are great golf courses and, of course, Dennis' famous beaches on both north and south sides. A bit beyond is the entire glorious Cape.

Perfect Spot for a Family Getaway!

We had such a great time at this Cape house on the Bass River. The house was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed—it really felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t believe how close it was to everything we wanted to do—restaurants, shops, and activities were all just minutes away. The river in the backyard was beautiful, and we loved watching the birds and swans every day. The hosts were very accommodating and always available if we needed anything. Can’t wait to come back next year for more family fun!

Relaxing River Stay

Stayed at this lovely home earlier this year. Stayed on the Cape, the Vineyard, and Chappy many times. First time in Dennis and our stay was great in this riverfront home. Everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Absolutely loved the view during breakfast on the deck, and daily kayaking on the river. Birdwatchers will love it. Can leave your own kayaks at home. We will be back, thank you!

Great spot on the river in Dennis!

The location of this riverfront cottage can not be beat. We enjoyed morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the beautiful river views. Although the location was central and convenient to the Cape, the home and surrounding area were peaceful and private. The cottage decor was even more impressive than in the online photos. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

Absolutely AMAZING

We came to stay here for my birthday, and it was gorgeous right off the bat. The place was so clean, so comfortable and absolutely beautiful. The private dock was the perfect place to just vibe out and have fun with my partner and my friend. This is the perfect vacation destination!! If you're debating booking this place, DO NOT HESITATE!! It is SO WORTH IT. Thank you so much to the owners for giving me the best birthday vacation residence possible!

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. We could have sat the porch all day to enjoy the breath taking view of Swan River. My husband loved kayaking from the private dock. Very conveniently located walking distance to restaurants and stores. The owner was easily available if we had questions. We would definitely book again.

Comfortable, Scenic, and Calming!

We are three friends and colleagues for 50 years. What a lovely accomodation for our mini-reunion. The home is cozy, immaculate, well appointed and charming. The location is peaceful and shady. The river view is wonderful! The TV 's were a challenge for we "older" folk, but we figured it out. The host, could not be nicer! 5 Stars!

Nice and peaceful

We had a great relaxing weekend here. House is very comfortable and well equipped. Kids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the puzzles. The sunrise is amazing, and I could sit and watch the water for hours. One note: the master bedroom is not well heated and was colder than the rest of the house. That was not a big issue for us, as we went there only to sleep.

Beautiful place on the water

This was a beautiful and clean house with a really remarkably lovely view of the Swan River. A group of college friends and I needed a place to stay for the weekend. This house had plenty to do for the pre-teens among us, while also having lots of places for the grownups to sit and talk. The location was perfect - everything close by - and it was a great pleasure to be able to explore the channels of the river. The house was super-clean and well-equipped and the owners were very helpful and responsive. Would totally stay again!

Family vaca

What an adorable property! Comfy, cozy with such an awesome view of the water. (The water is actually closer than it appears in the photos). We loved watching the birds in the yard at the feeders. The baby loved watching the swan and the geese on the water from the deck. The neighborhood is very quiet and the area is very walkable which we loved! We went to the Sea Street beach which was very nice and very close. The location on the Cape was great! We were close to the ferry for Nantucket and not too far from the ferry to the Vinyard. It was only about an hour to Provincetown which was a nice day trip. We were very close to the bike trail and that was a beautiful ride. We would definitely come back and stay at this property again. Kelly was very responsive and so very nice! I can’t say enough about our stay! Thank you Kelly, Steve and Michael!!
