About this house rental

Located in Brewster, this charming house for $231 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Thank you for visiting our site. Whether you are looking for one week or a few months, we invite you to consider our home. Please note that we accept only full week rentals from mid-June to mid-September, but anything from weekend to long term stays is most welcome during the rest of the year. We are ideally situated, with an approximately 45 minute drive to both Provincetown and to Plymouth. Provincetown is near the site of the first landing of the Mayflower, and Plymouth is the site of the Pilgrims' first settlement. If you are interested in early American history, want to learn more about our country's beginnings, or simply want to see the area, this is the place for you. We are conveniently located for walks at the beach, fishing, golfing, fine dining, or enjoying our beautiful sunsets. And if you decide to stay at home, our yard is peaceful and soothing. Our home, the Elisha Howland Saltbox, provides your opportunity to experience the unmatched essence of a true 'Olde Cape Cod' home. We offer a restored 1824 Saltbox with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a separate rental opportunity on the property for two more guests in the detached cottage, though this is only available to guests in the main house, for an additional fee which is listed below. Our home is available for a minimum of two days to several months from October 1st to June 15th, and we welcome guests 52 weeks/year. During the summer season, we rent by the week. Please note that we do NOT supply bed linens and towels from June 15 to September 15, though we are happy to help you arrange them through a rental service. Please contact us regarding linens if you cannot bring them. Our 1824 home is located in one of the most historic areas of Brewster. Small on size but big on charm, you will see many of the original features, such as the 'ladder' stairs, the old floorboards, the wavy glass windows carefully preserved, and a working replica of the original fireplace. Lovingly brought back to life, this restored antique home truly is a home away from home, complemented with all the modern comforts - fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, basement washer and dryer, cable TV, DVD player, and wifi. We are open year round and welcome you for a visit, whether it's for a weekend, a week, a month or more. We welcome weekend guests during the winter, spring, and fall, and occasionally can accommodate stays of less than one week during the summer. Located in a quiet residential area of the Sea Captain's town of Brewster, our home has a spacious yard featuring two flower gardens and a shade garden with a stone patio and sitting area. Adjacent to the patio is a water feature with a gurgling stream, making a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a cup of morning coffee or perhaps a glass of wine at the end of the day. The detached cottage is a separate rental, which may be rented for additional charge by the week or for a shorter period, with a two night minimum stay. We are delighted to offer this space to our guests who rent the main house, to be used by families who would like to bring a grandparent or two, or by couples who enjoy vacationing together, but also want to respect each other's space. The cottage offers a queen bed, small sitting area with microwave, dorm-style refrigerator, TV, and a full bathroom with shower. There is a screened porch with a patio table for two. The cottage rate is $125/night for a minimum stay of 2 nights, or $750/week during the summer season. Please contact us for off-season per week rates. Daily rates remain the same. Please note that the cottage is not available as a separate and primary rental.

The property was adorable and exactly as described. The stairs are steep just like she said, but I had no problem navigating them, and I’m mature and chunky! The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and we loved reading the history of the little house. The owner was absolutely amazing, providing us recommendations for things to see and do, places to eat, and help during Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lee. I would 100% stay here again on a future trip to Cape Cod!

We had an amazing time at the cape. The Sept weather was awesome. We used this as base camp to enjoy the beaches,hiking and Kayaking. The information book with restaurant recommendations was spot on. This little home was perfect for the two of us. We will definitely stay again!

Lovely restored antique home with an interesting history. Quiet and comfortable space for our base camp as we explored the outer Cape and the National Seashore! Great communication with the owner.

Absolutely loved this place. It’s not for everyone as this home is very old and doesn’t provide all of the modern everyday conveniences. There is internet and it has everything you need but like all older homes it has some quirks. The upstairs bath has a very small tub and doesn’t have a hand held shower head but is perfect for children. The downstairs bath has a small shower. The stairs to the upper level are very steep so if you’re elderly this may not work for you. The home has a rich history and it was interesting to read up on it and then try to figure how things were originally. The owners did a great job keeping the authenticity during renovation. The gardens all around the house were absolutely gorgeous. Roses and Peony’s were in bloom while we were there but I’m sure something is blooming all season as there were many different types of plants. Hydrangeas among them. I knew about this home as I had lived in Brewster while raising my children and we built a 3/4 Cape using a lot of the authentic designs as well. It was a joy to stay here and walk back through the memories of time.

We had the best Sister Weekend! The historical salt box did not disappoint. The stairs are definitely a challenge, but the owner makes that clear in the descriptive write up and pictures on the website. Beds are very comfortable and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Jane!

We stay at the Cape in different villages every year, depending on how much of the family can come. This year was just us. This lovely little cottage was conveniently located, had all the amenities we needed, and was just as presented in the initial description. We very much enjoyed our stay.
