Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Stacy! We agree that the cottage is a special place and the weather was great! We hope you and the pup enjoyed your time there! Looking forward to hosting you again!
The location and privacy of this home was amazing! Our family of 4 and 2 dogs had the best time enjoying the pond, views, and mother duck with 7 ducklings that visited every morning! It was an easy drive to get to any hot spots on the cape, as well as a quick drive to some great seafood! I was our first family vacation as the kids are 1 and 3, they loved the vacation home and it will hold a special place in our memories in which I hope we can come back to one day!
This is our second stay at this quaint cottage. The pond and house are pristine!

This cottage was what my wife and I were looking for; secluded and quiet. The property manager was helpful and quick to respond. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short, but if you are looking for a quiet spot that is close to town and is on water this is a great spot.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and were sorry to hear that you had to leave early. You were a pleasure to work with and we would love to have you back as our guest. Best - New England Vacation Rentals
My husband and I were in awe at how beautiful and secluded this location was. There’s a private road that leads to the small home on a large pond. It truly felt like we had the whole thing to our selves. This was a perfect spot for us to hangout and let our dog play in the water. The inside of the house is very basic but it had nice updated appliances and was perfect for a long weekend. Would definitely book here again!

From New England Vacation Rentals:
Thank you so much for your review, Julia! We agree that this home provides guests (and their pups!) with their own private oasis! The homeowners (siblings) are conservationists and nature enthusiasts so they aim to provide a comfortable stay for guests with the least environmental impact possible. This is how the location remains a beautiful place to commune with the outdoors! We are glad you enjoyed your time on Goose Pond and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
The house is amazing. Cozy but you don’t need more when you are outside most of the day. My daughter woke up everyday and went straight to play in the sand. We swam all day, even my dog was swimming!! Very short drive to all the beaches and to Chatham downtown area. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Peaceful cottage on a freshwater pond. Nice sandy beach right outside the door. Short drive or bike ride puts you in Chatham. The one bathroom and limited space makes this most suitable for two people. We were three people and two little dogs. Our three nights were fine. More than that could have been a problem.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2024
Thank you for reviewing your stay, Gregory! We love that you found the location to be peaceful and we would have to agree - it is your own world (and beach) down at Goose Pond. We would concur that the home is best suited to four when some of them are children or those who don't mind sharing close quarters but the experience of staying in this home is one that many adult groups find worthwhile! Having the pups there to revel in the private beach on the pond is an added bonus (for them and you!). We hope to host you again soon!
We loved the newly renovated kitchen! The window A/C unit cooled the cottage very effectively. The love seat in the living area was enough for the two of us. We especially appreciated how clearly the owners and New England Vacation Rentals communicated the risk of fleas and ticks; we were extra cautious in checking our dog every time we brought her inside (as luck would have it, she didn't acquire any). And we loved being able to kayak on the pond at a moment's notice!

Thank you for reviewing your stay, Brian! We are happy to hear that your pup avoided getting ticks (we like to warn everyone but every season is different!) and love that you fully enjoyed the ease of accessing the pond (and beach) that is right outside! We look forward to hosting you again next summer!
We had a wonderful time staying at this little property! We arrived in the dark so the driveway was a little bit challenging in a low sportscar but we found it very easily. It is secluded and very peaceful, exactly what we were looking for to chill for a weekend. The property was just modern enough, extremely clean and easy to navigate, bed was very comfy. We spent a long time in the water and visited some restaurants in the area, but definitely had enough to do to pass the time for three days at the camp. Our dog had a wonderful time as well on walks around the pond, swimming, and taking in the wildlife (which was everywhere). Loved the outdoor shower!!

From New England Vacation Rentals- Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We are delighted to know how much you enjoyed your time at Long Camp. We look forward to having back as our guests again soon.
What a perfect location for a restful vacation! Spent many hours sitting by the pond watching osprey and turtles, kayaking in the lovely pond, and just listening as the pond rippled against the shore. It's also only a few minutes to a few really nice beaches on the south shore of the cape. And an easy drive to the Atlantic where we enjoyed viewing almost 100 seals bobbing in the water off of Head of Meadow beach.
Nickerson park with more ponds and trails for hiking is also nearby.
We cooked every dinner in the kitchen which had everything we needed.
Great place for our dog too! And the weather was excellent!

Thanks so much for your review. We love the tagline - Peaceful Paradise - because that absolutely describes the home and pond! It sounds like you had a wonderful time - the pup, too! We would love to have you as our guest again! Best - New England Vacation Rentals
Private, peaceful, tranquil, beautiful, sandy, simple, rejuvenating vacation. The photos don’t do the cabin and locale justice. The cabin is ”tight”; - new windows, appliances, cookware, comfy bed. Everything we needed for a perfect three weeks at the beach. We were there during the infamous tornado of 2019 - and despite the fact that this cabin is raised on cinder blocks, we felt totally safe (and BOY were those winds unbelievably strong!). It’s so very private. We loved that it was right on the water - the sandy beach found its way in to the cabin every day (be prepared to sweep up twice a day) - but that’s part of the charm of a beach vacation. The water at Goose Pond is warm and crystal clear. Wildlife abounds: turtles, egrets, bunnies, turkey, falcons, fish, frogs, seagulls. Spent hours under the shade of the pine trees just letting the breeze flow over. The dog was in heaven - he was our official Minnow Patrol and made sure the coast was clear at all times (because you know, those minnows can be soooo dangerous... ha ha) Owners live across the street and are super friendly and eager to please. Quite possibly the best summer vacation ever. Thank you, NEVR!

We couldn't agree more. When we first were introduced to this cabin we just thought what a little piece of paradise on the Cape. We are honored to represent it. Look forward to having you back. Best, New England Vacation Rentals
Highly recommend, if you are looking for peace and privacy. This little gem has everything you need a sandy beach to sit and relax by the beautiful pond.
My family and I ( son 11 yrs and two Australian shepherds) enjoyed many many walks along the pond. Kayaking was another high light. The cottage was also very close to all the great restaurants. Just to name a few Talkative Pig, the corner store, marions pie shop, mom and pops very delicious.
The cottage overall is small yet has all the good stuff great 4K tv for night time movie watching. Comfy beds, decor, dinnerware all very nice.
We will definitely visit again.

If It’s peace and quiet and beauty you want this is the place. However it is rustic: there is no bottle opener no carrot Peeler no dishwasher just a beautiful pond

We have been looking for a place like this for some time & are coming back
Tennis Ball, Worn Smooth
The people who lived in our cottage
the week before we came to do the same
left paw prints in the coarse yellow sand
bordering the damp edge of Goose Pond.
A Labrador no doubt, judging by the size,
the way they repeatedly entered the water,
blurring and deepening in the shallows.
A worn tennis ball half hidden in grass
dropped in anticipation of a swift return,
the sunny side dry, the shady still wet.
How many times did the lab look back?
How many times have we?
