Waterfront Cottage - Adorable & Private

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was exactly as advertised- perfect for a single or couple. Bed was comfortable, the heating system worked perfectly- amazing that we needed it one night in July. We never used the AC. A few small suggestions: there could be both more of, and better quality, in kitchen utensils and equipment. A charcoal tower for the grill would be immensely useful. There is considerable poison ivy around the dock area. Don't know what can be done about that, but worth noting. We had no problems, but some less wary tenants might be in for a rude surprise. The dock could use some refurbishing, as well as the otherwise great adirondack chairs. So could the rowboat.

Very comfy for 2. Linda (host) was accessible and helpful through minor issues and easy to deal with. Recommended!

This was the perfect location for a very quiet long weekend getaway. A quick bike ride or drive to beach or one could just stay by the pond only steps away all day if solitude was what we wanted. Excellent communication with owner.

This was a perfect place for a recharge! The quiet neighborhood, peaceful pond & solitude I was seeking. The cottage had all the essentials & easy access to whatever you might want; ocean, restaurants, biking or hiking

This was a perfect location, cozy and great to come back to in the evenings.

This was a lovely cottage and just enough for the two of us! It was secluded enough for privacy but near everything you would need. We easily travelled to Ptown, Wellfleet, and Chatham.

This little cottage has it all! A beautiful dock with kayak and row boat for the pond and just a short drive from the best beaches, the drive-in, and delicious sea food! A truly incredible retreat!

This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. Especially off season. The house is adorable and comfy. The pond is beautiful with lots of good fishing. We’ve been here twice now for our anniversary and hope to keep coming back.

This is an ideal, quiet place to stay for one or two people. Only a few minutes from fantastic beaches.

This cottage was comfortable and very clean. We found it's location restful and convenient . Located near restaurants, beaches, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

This cottage is a great place to get away from all the Cape Cod hub-bub. Although just off route 6, it is quiet with a lovely view overlooking Minister Pond. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. The living area and bedroom are both roomy and comfortable. The central air conditioning was a blessing for some of the very hot days we had.

This cabin is perfect for a couple or one person. Everything you need plus the view of the beautiful lake. Loved it and can't wait to book it again. Thanks, Ricky

The location is very good particularly if you are a bicyclist. The bike trail is a very short ride from the cottage and there are great directions posted on how to get there. The pond is lovely with one kayak and a row boat provided. The row boat is very heavy and structurally needs repairs. The cottage could use some updates. Also more attention to detail and cleaning from the cleaning company. Linda is very responsive and got back to us very quickly. Very nice place to stay with a lot to do in the area.

The cottage was perfect for our stay. Private yet close to beaches and stores. It had a private dock on Ministers Pond which made morning coffee a little more special.

The cottage was nice, clean and quiet. Beaches nearby, we had a great time.

The cottage was adorable and the perfect size, leaving nothing left to want for. The pond and dock were wonderful and the owner had kayaks available. Linda was very responsive but not overbearing in the least. I've been visiting the cape for over 20 years and with some guidance was able to enjoy a new part of it everyday. Thank you so much Linda-I will definitely be back again soon!💗

The cottage and Minister Pond itself are really fun. Other reviewers have mentioned the views from the many cottage windows, and the peacefulness of sitting on the dock by the pond. We really loved watching the birds and other wildlife, and watching kids fishing across the way. (With binoculars, we saw they caught many perch and once a foot-long pickerel!) The cottage is well-maintained and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The one real drawback for us was the proximity of Route 6, which meant less quiet than we would have liked. Also, entering/exiting Route 6 to/from the little road to the cottage was hazardous (by our standards, at least).

Perfect spot for a couple, small but spacious and right on the pond with a private dock. Tucked away on a small private street in a great location in the middle of cape cod, highly recommend.

My wife and I spent a week in this nice little secluded cottage. Nice kitchen comfortable bed. Beaches, restaurants and shopping are all within a short drive.

My husband and I wanted an off-season getaway; being on water was a priority for me, even though swimming season was past. This was everything I could have desired: while the cottage is pretty much right on Route 6 and you can hear it, somewhat, it does NOT feel like being on a major route! It's down a secluded dirt lane that you can barely even spot from the road, descending steeply towards the pond. So, there's the advantage of being right on Rt 6 if you need to drive anywhere, but it does NOT feel that way; the pond is right there, with a lovely dock suitable for sitting any time of day. We also ate as many meals as we could on the screen porch. The location is also ideal for biking; it's easy to get to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, as well as a gorgeous trail down to Coast Guard beach. The Eastham Superette is only a 5 minute bike ride away. We spent as much time on the water as we could, in the kayak and rowboat (in fact, an oarlock broke right away and Claude had constructed and installed a new one by the next day!). I knew I was going to have to do some work, including an online course; the wifi is strong, but I did have to reset the router a couple of times -- nothing to be done about that. We did watch some streaming TV as well. The bed was super comfortable, and the shower was good (quick and plentiful hot water). Kitchen well and simply equipped. Do note that it's bring your own linens, which we were prepared for, but while that was historically pretty common for Cape rentals, it seems to take some visitors by surprise (especially if you're not arriving by car). The whole aesthetic is pitch-perfect Cape cottage -- very homey and attractive. I'm already dreaming of coming back same time next year -- this is my absolute favorite time to be on the Cape, when most of the tourists have gone, and the weather is perfect and crisp. So grateful!

Lovely cottage on a small pond full of wildlife. Close to beaches, shopping, good food and biking. Just what we wanted!

Immaculate, adorable, home away from home. Vintage cottage kept in perfect shape and had every convenience. What a view out all of the windows, it looked like something from a movie it was so perfect!
