My family and I really enjoyed getting to spend time on the pond that only the house had access to and walking on the trails that crisscross the woods around it. The house itself was in terrible condition and was stressful to stay in, which was a shame. The response of Berkshire Hathaway, that they’d alert the caretaker, with no additional help was also disappointing. The house was in terrible condition. On the second floor there was terrible water damage. There were holes and bubbling paint on the ceiling with what appeared to be black mold or soot around the edges. There were chipping, peeling broken asbestos tiles on the floor with the subfloor exposed. The carpets and bathmats were filthy and one of the blankets on one of the beds was badly stained. Additionally, while they were upfront about the lack of internet, it was also a cell dead spot so the only way we could call or text anyone was to leave down the dirt roads and drive about 7 minutes out to the Main Street. Overall the condition of the property is a huge shame because the secluded location on a private pond was incredibly special.

First, I'll address some things that might not be obvious from the description. Yes, the property is down a long, bumpy road that you will do better on with an SUV or other high clearance vehicle. We did it with a conventional minivan and VW Golf and did fine but if you're anxious about getting stuck you should be aware of that. Also, there is no WiFi and really no cell coverage. (Every once in a while a random text would come through.) So unless you have a sat phone you will be disconnected from digital devices when you are at the cottage. All that being said, we absolutely loved this place and had a fantastic vacation there. We had two kayaks (which are at the property), three paddleboards, and various inflatables all over the pond. Our kids had friends come and go and everyone loved being able to unplug and just enjoy each other's company and the beautiful setting. At one point three people were floating on the pond reading books. At night and frequently in the morning around breakfast time people just sat around and talked, in a way that you just can't do if everyone has a phone or computer nearby. You can walk from the house to a couple of other ponds (Spectacle, Long and Gull) and to the oceanside beaches, either on the road or on various paths through the woods. (Do a thorough tick check afterward.) And everything Wellfleet Village has to offer is only ten minutes away by car or 15 by bike. The house has plenty of room and is very cozy. It's not for everyone but if you really want to get away for some deep relaxation this place is hard to beat.

Dear Chris,
We appreciate your kind words about our property and the fantastic vacation you had there. We're glad to hear that you loved the place and enjoyed the opportunity to truly unplug and disconnect from digital devices. We understand that the long, bumpy road leading to the property may be a concern for some guests, and we appreciate you mentioning that an SUV or high-clearance vehicle is recommended. It's helpful for future guests to be aware of this, although it's reassuring to know that you managed well with a conventional minivan and VW Golf.
We appreciate your positive perspective on this aspect, highlighting the benefits of being disconnected and enjoying quality time with friends and family in a beautiful setting. It's heartwarming to hear about the activities you enjoyed on the pond, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and simply floating while reading books. The ability to have meaningful conversations without the distractions of phones and computers is indeed a unique experience. We've also included the amenity of "No internet" for listings as guests are beginning looking for this type of retreat!
Thank you for mentioning the tick check afterward, as it's important for guests to be mindful of their surroundings. Thank you once again for choosing our property for your vacation and for highlighting the unique aspects of your stay. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another deep relaxation experience.-DM
