About this house rental

Nestled in Bourne, this lovely house for $228 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Enjoy the best of all worlds in this sunny, tranquil, waterfront seven room home. This lakefront haven is situated just 4 miles from the Bourne Bridge and Cape Cod Canal…without the traffic! Located on the shores of Ezekiel Pond (3rd cleanest lake in MA) in South Plymouth by the Bourne and Wareham town lines, the home features three bedrooms (with a brand new queen mattress in the master), a kitchen, two dens (you can enjoy one den while the kids enjoy the other), a sunroom with dining table, one large bathroom, and an expansive deck overlooking the water and dock just 15 feet away. (Two bedrooms and 2nd den are in the finished walkout basement with windows, and the master bedroom is on the main floor where kitchen, bathroom den and sunporch are located). Hardwood floors upstairs, ceramic tile downstairs, large kitchen with breakfast bar, and a bright open floor plan with plenty of windows and natural light. Complete with central air, gas grill, WiFi, dishwasher, and a new washer/dryer. The best feature of all is the large 26 ft long deck, which sits high among scattered trees and is just 12 ft from the shorefront. The back of the house is west facing, meaning it receives maximum sunshine and overlooks incredible sunsets on the water. The peaceful, crystal clear, 36-acre, 24-foot deep lake is great for swimming, kayaking, fishing and is the third cleanest body of water in Massachusetts. The gradually sloping sandy lake bottom is great for children. There is also a beautiful sandy beach on the lake with picnic tables, available only to those staying on the pond. If you prefer the ocean, Scusset Beach State Reservation in Bourne is just a 15 minute drive. This home comes with a canoe and kayak, and there is a hammock waiting at the edge of the water. Plenty of stores and restaurants just ten minutes away on Cranberry Highway, and a country store (Sandy Pond Campground) just a half mile from the home. Close proximity to Onset and Plymouth waterfronts/downtowns, with a wonderful selection of restaurants and bars. The house itself is located on a very quiet residential road. Attractions within 5 miles of the cottage: biking and hiking through Miles Standish State Forest; golf courses including the Atlantic Country Club 1 mile away; Water Wizz water park; Buzzards Bay; the ocean at Scusset Beach; the Cape Cod Canal bike and walking paths. Enjoy a family cookout followed by a beautiful sunset while relaxing on the deck after a day swimming, kayaking, walking nearby nature trails, or or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake and all the Plymouth area has to offer. *Rentals are from Saturday to Saturday. Discount given on two week rental or more. Some comments from the guestbook: “Loved the house and the lake. Great location, close to everything. Thank you for a wonderful week.” -- The Snyders “Came all the way from Ontario – did lots of daytrips in the area. The cottage was a great base to relax at night and have a barbeque.” -- The Coulsons “An unforgettable experience and a lifetime of memories!” -- The Washburns “The lake was nice and warm to swim in and the girls loved it. The place is beautiful and we can’t wait to come back next year.” -- The Fosters “The kids loved the lake and kayaks. The surrounding area had many great places for us to visit.” -- Arthur and Kristen F. “Very relaxing. Kayaking the lake in the evening was so serene. It rained one day and we enjoyed the view of the pond with cups of coffee, newspapers and board games!” -- The Vargas Family

A lovely home with all the necessities. The downstairs a/c did not work but the dehumidifiers did the job. The deck facing the pond was a favorite spot to sit, whether for meals, chats or reading. Beautiful view of the sunset as well. The pond was just cool enough to be refreshing and stayed shallow for a long time, which was great for kids. A hammock to lie on while feeling the breeze from the pond was delightful. Everyone who saw pictures was surprised to find it was in Plymouth, MA! So why only a 4/5 you ask? As a senior who is not so spry but still loves playing with the kids, I found it almost impossible to get out of the pond safely. There were rocks along the edge that were not very secure. The dock was too high to negotiate without having a ladder or steps of some sort. Without that issue it would have been perfect.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay last week. The cottage is sweet, plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The shallow entry into the lake was excellent for 2 small non-swimmer kids! And the fishing right off the dock was a lot of fun for the adults. Kitchen well appointed. Location very convenient for all things "Cape Cod". We will definitely be back!

We loved the beautiful view of the lake, and it was in a nice quiet location. Michael the owner was incredibly nice. The first floor/basement was nice but musty, and one of the dehumidifiers needed constant emptying. This was a bit of a challenge for us as we are in our sixties.

Michael's place was a convenient spot for day trips to local attractions and museums, or just an afternoon on the Cape. The pond is beautiful and quiet, the perfect place to unwind. We had enough room for the whole family and the WiFi was excellent (since a few of us had work to complete). Michael was quick to respond and was a great host.

I needed a place for my family that consists of me, my commuting husband, busy 22 yo daughter, and 17 yo son. There was plenty of room and the kids had the whole downstairs, which included a den. My son had a friend stay one night and they enjoyed the canoe. I floated out front in the crystal clear water. My husband was able to commute to work and my parents came for the day to play cards on the rainy day we had. Mike was extremely attentive when I pointed out a broken board in the dock. He immediately informed his handyman who fixed it the next day. I was spoiled by having a washer and dryer. We went home with clean clothes! As for the reviewer who said it wasn’t big enough, I would suggest just bring your own linens next time so you don’t have to wash them all at once. Or have the kids use sleeping bags. It was such a low stress vacay because everything was provided. I’m rebooking for next year, for sure. Oh, as long as the hammock is still there. It was my favorite spot. We had coffee on the dock each day and played games on the deck under the beautiful umbrella. The grill was an added bonus. We did grocery pickup from nearby Stop and Shop so we could eat healthy food we grilled. Ideal for us. Thanks, Mike for the comfortable bed, too.

AC combined with the pond gave a welcome relief to the hottest week of the summer! Pond is great for kids. We enjoyed the biking paths at Myles Standish State Park and the Shining Sea on the Cape. Nice location away from the crowds.

I made the mistake of overlooking the fact that this home is not professionally cleaned between visitors. I was stressed about cleaning once I got there (and there wasn’t even a mop bucket or scrub brush) and spent the week stressing about getting all the laundry done and everything cleaned before our departure. (The washer and dryer were small so you couldn’t fit much in at a time.) Overall, this home needs a really good deep clean, which other reviews mentioned. The cleaning issue was my oversight and Mike was quick to respond to my concerns about this. The kitchen was nice, but was not well stocked (no measuring cups, whisk, only 4 bowls.) There were only 4 wash cloths in the bathroom, (so that was a second trip to Walmart for us!) and the shower stall was small. The lake was nice and my children enjoyed fishing and the canoes! Sunsets over the lake were beautiful! Another review mentioned the pot smell. We experienced that one day and there was some young neighbor kid shouting profanities till we asked him to stop. The dock no longer looks like the picture and it was difficult for me with an injured knee to get in and out of the lake since the rocks were not stable. Ok, done complaining, it was a nice location overall.
