Birds Nest

We were happy with our rental in Truro. Its name "The Bird's Nest" is so appropriate, seeing it is surrounded by trees, atop of a rise, overlooking the Pamet River Valley. The proximity to the beaches and Rt.6 made getting about quite easy. The house's wide 2-sided deck from which to take in the views beyond the tree tops, lends itself to al fresco dining and beautiful sun/moon rises. We enjoyed the open concept interior which was perfect for family gatherings including morning coffee and late night conversation. Of course there are times when things happen beyond anyone's control. We lost the hot water, which caused much concern especially since we had 2 new babies with us. However once notified the owner responded immediately. He sent a repair team that eventually replaced the hot water heater. Most important the house is spacious and has great flow to accommodate a large family and yet give everyone a place of their own to relax. Would rent again! Wonderful Week!!!

The special place that is Truro

Serene, private but with expansive views of the Pamet Valley. The Bird's Nest is lovely - well maintained, well equipped and simply pleasant. With all it's glass sliders and skylight, it's a bit like living outside but with the comforts of a nice vacation property.

About the host

Hosted by John Goldsmith

I now live in France where I run custom cycling tours. Having spent most of my summers in Truro growing up, this family vacation home is very special to my wife and I. We’d love to share its magic with you.

Why they chose this property

My family built this house 45+ years ago as a summer home when they owned a clothing store in Wellfleet. We still get together at the house every summer, and even sometimes during the off season.

What makes this property unique

The private, serene hilltop overlook gives the sensation of being up in the air. The soft breezes whispering through the pine trees. Stunning views of the Cape Cod natural seashore. The soft natural light. Relaxing in the hammock. A right-sized home, great for being alone, reading or cooking…yet also perfect sharing a cozy gathering with family and friends. The ability to access bay and ocean beaches, and Truro town, without travelling on crowded Rt. 6!
