About this property

Lakefront 6.5 acres Pet Friendly O/D Shower Cent A/C FirePit up to 12



My family has owned the property since 1914. We re-built the house in the summer of 2006 so the home is still relatively new. It is a very clean, uncluttered, and relaxing home. The home was built with extra wide door-ways so that wheelchairs can go through them. There are 4 steps to get up onto the porch to gain access to the main house, so some mobility is required to get in the home. There are also a dozen or so large rock steps to get down to the lake beach.

*****The exits on Route 6 have changed. In years past you would get off on Exit 8 (Union Street). This has changed to Exit 75*****

For summer week rentals (mid June through early September), we offer our home as a Sunday to Sunday rental. The traffic is significantly lighter on Sundays than on Saturdays. The Sunday to Sunday rental is also great for those traveling to the cape for Saturday weddings/parties. During the spring and fall months we are more flexible and can beginning any day of the week.


The home is cleaned and sanitized every week between rentals. All bedding is washed and / of changed between rentals. We keep 2-3 sets of bedding linens for each bed. We also provide a supply of sanitizing products, gloves, and masks.

The lake is crystal clear and is fairly shallow out about 50-60 feet.

Perfect Lake Retreat
We had a great stay here. Marta and Betsy were very welcoming hosts and were very responsive throughout the week. The house is a perfect lake retreat and has a lot of toys for the family to enjoy like kayaks, canoe, a ping pong table, foosball, etc. It’s also nice to be able to walk to the center of town and beaches. We would definitely come back again!

Great spot for a cape vacation
Beautiful home set back from the road. We had solitude and peace and quiet but were still close to all the cape has to offer. Private beach with free water craft is a plus too.

Fantastic again
We rent a lot of houses and this is the only one that we have stayed at more than once, in fact this was our third time. Marta is a great host and the house is great. It is private, has a great view of the lake, central air conditioning and the lake itself is amazing. Nice private beach area and when you go into the lake it is not mucky like many lakes. Many water toys provided as well. Hopefully we will be able to keep on renting this house. Highly recommend.

Excellent stay
Marta’s house in Dennis is really fantastic. I actually think that the listing doesn’t do justice to either the inside or outside. It was nicer than I expected. The house is roomy, comfortable and really well-equipped, again inside and out. The location is perfect. It is a 10-15-minute walk to good restaurants, a bakery, etc. and yet when you are at the house you are in the woods with not a sound to disturb you. The lake is gorgeous and I can’t describe how nice it is to see that lake from the comfortable screened porch or the lounge chairs on the lawn. We spent a lot of time relaxing with our books, inside and out. There are 3 roomy bedrooms (good beds) as well as a spare bed in the upstairs sitting area. The bathrooms are good. The kitchen is excellent, with every pot, pan, utensil, etc., that you need. We went to Petersen’s fish market a short drive away to pick up fresh fish each day and enjoyed preparing dinner at home. And the living room is very comfy for hanging out. My only caution would be that the Internet service is not strong, in case you were planning to do work while away, Zoom calls, et. Marta kindly checked in regularly to be sure that we were doing well. It was a delight to stay there.
