About the host

Hosted by Katie Mitchell

Host profile image
We live in Boston. I am a nurse. My husband is an attorney. Our son loves playing hockey. Together, we love watching old sitcoms and cheering on the Patriots. We are hospitality focused hosts and want to share our favorite spot on the Cape with your family.

The Abigail Cottage is a quintessential Cape style house in the historic town of Sandwich. The home is named in tribute to the good ship Abigail; she made safe passage for Thomas Tupper from England, one of the “Ten Men of Saugus” who founded the town of Sandwich in 1637 and the namesake of the road on which our cottage stands. The Sandwich town motto is Post Tot Naufracia Portus-- After many shipwrecks, a haven. The Abigail Cottage is an authentic Cape Cod retreat for your family.

Why they chose this property

As city people, we prefer to walk! Town Neck is one of the few neighborhoods on the Cape where you can walk to the beach, restaurants, a quaint downtown, and, of course, Treehouse Brewery! And its only 1 hour from Boston. Town Neck is just over the bridge, so you avoid all the summer Cape Cod traffic.

Town Neck Beach (5 minute walk to the closest entrance to the sand) is a calm, bayside beach that is rarely crowded.

Treehouse Brewery (10 minute walk) is open every day year round, juicy IPAs, thin crust pizza (and lobster rolls in the summer), and utterly dreamy beach views in any season.

Sandwich Boardwalk and Mill Creek marsh (9 minute walk) is iconic Cape Cod, jump off the Boardwalk at high tide, catch green crabs in the marsh, and it is absolutely stunning during the golden hour.

The Cape Cod Canal (20 minute walk) has legendary sunsets, excellent big ship watching, and on shore striped bass fishing for the experienced fisherperson. Our favorite restaurants here include Fisherman's View (upscale, modern with the freshest fish) and The Pilot House (the lawn is a total vibe with live music, fire pits, and an outdoor bar).

Historic Sandwich (30 minute walk over the Boardwalk) is a quaint colonial village filled with history, antique markets, and curated gift shops. Our favorite restaurants here include The Belfry Inn and Bistro (white tablecloths and escargot in a converted church) and The Seal (hip, urban art gallery with incredible cocktails).

The Town Neck neighborhood is filled with Cape Cod charm. There are lots of hydrangeas and gray cedar shingles, a mix of year-round residents and seasonal families. It is generally quiet with a mid-summer bustle of visitors. The neighborhood is the perfect mix of historic charm, relaxed beach life, with a deep connection to the ocean community. You will notice that the town of Sandwich takes great pride its historic roots and therefore there is no overt commercial signage and very few chain stores.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION. 5 minute walk to the closest entrance to the sand. 9 minute walk to the famous Sandwich boardwalk. 10 minute walk to Treehouse Brewery. 20 minute walk to Sandwich Marina on the Cape Cod Canal, with multiple restaurants, ice cream, and gorgeous sunsets. Grocery stores and shops only a couple miles away. Our home is just over the bridge and SO much is SO close. Don't sit in summer traffic on your vacation.

PEEKABOO VIEW of the ocean. Hear the buoy bells in the bay and smell the ocean breezes from the roof deck. Faces north so you can experience both sunrises and epic sunsets up here too.

We are FOODIES. The kitchen is stocked with quality tools and all the cooking basics. We have a Weber Genesis gas grill on the deck. And no Keurig nonsense here-- we are particular about our coffee and have a Moccamaster coffee maker and burr grinder for you to enjoy the perfect morning cup. Treehouse Brewery roasts beans too!

Luxury SLEEP accommodations. Organic Saatva hybrid (innerspring and natural latex) mattresses with premium 100% cotton sheets, down comforters, washable duvet covers, and a variety of pillows, including down and firm options. We value our sleep and want our guests to sleep well.

Still have emails to send on vacation? Or maybe a digital nomad family? WORK FROM HOME in multiple spaces. Motorized standing desk with ergonomic leather chair and external monitor, flip down secretary desk with printer, and small desk in finished basement. High speed wifi with mesh network that reaches all corners of the house.

FINISHED BASEMENT on the Cape!?! This is so rare to find. Rumpus room ready for activities! Bean bag chairs to relax. And Peloton Row with guest login, free weights and bench mean you don't miss a workout on vacation!

GENERATOR. If you lose power (very rare!), the generator will run most of the house automatically. Most rental homes on the Cape don't have whole house generators.

AIR CONDITIONING. Mini splits heat and cool the whole home.
