About this cottage rental
Set your clocks back 80 years, and fish for your breakfast from your own dock or row-boat. This setting has been described as the nicest setting in Chatham. Very Private. Bordered by Conservation Land, our 2 1/2 acre get-away is a treasure from times past. A row boat, fishing gear, kayak, paddle board and a lot of serenity. Very nice master bedroom w/ queen size bed, and a great second bedroom with two twin bed and bathroom. The host maintains a private apartment in the detached garage, which they occasionally use, providing a comfortable space separate from the main house. This setup enhances both privacy and convenience, ensuring that guests can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. As a result, guests benefit from a quiet retreat, and the arrangement supports a smooth experience for everyone involved.

Great place to stay and visit the Cape. Nice fishing pond in the back yard. Dated interior but it adds some old time charm.

First of all, Michael is a dream host! Readily available to answer any question and offer any assistance. The property location was ideal for exploring Cape Cod from one end to another. Just a short 30 minute drive takes you to Hyannis and the Express ferry to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. The pond and lush wooded area around the house would have been perfect for any downtime, which was in short supply with our packed schedule. Even if you don’t have a chance to spend much time outdoors, the view from the big picture window is lovely; so peaceful and quiet. The only sound is a beautiful chorus of birdsong. The furnishings are rustic but comfortable, the kitchen is large and well-equipped. Linens are not provided but easily rented from Cape Cod Linen Supply which offered excellent products and service. I found the price to be extremely reasonable and affordable for Cape Cod. The drive is easy to miss and I would suggest trying to arrive in daylight if at all possible.

Just returned from a 5 nights/4 days mini-reunion with "old" friends at this cottage on Stillwater Pond. Every one of us LOVED it and didn't want to leave. It is exactly as pictured and described and I agree with the other reviewers. We are long time Cape Cod visitors and truthfully, this is one of the best finds, especially for our needs - peace, privacy. While in the past we have ventured out often to tour and shop, this time we didn't want to go anywhere. Just to sit and watch the lake, morning, noon and night, was perfect, except runs to get lobster rolls and lobsters. The lake/pond was very healthy - clean, clear and perfect temperature for swimming every day and for paddleboarding. None of us had paddleboarded before and we all got up and enjoyed it. The place is well equipped with outdoor equipment - row boat, paddleboard, fishing gear, lots of chairs for the dock, noodles, etc. Plus a great hammock, nice chairs and tables right outside door where we sat and drank our morning coffee each day. I was planning on renting a bike for the time but you have to ride on Rte 28 to get anywhere so I happily gave that idea up. I did take a wonderful walk to Crows Pond and Pleasant Bay at 6 am watching the sun rise. At that time of the morning Rte 28 was okay to walk along. Being right across from Ryder's Cove and Pleasant Bay was an added benefit. Peter, grandson of original owners and caretaker is very pleasant, helpful, and yet ensures your privacy. He stays in apt above the garage. Available if you need him. There is a wonderful outdoor shower, in fact, I think the indoor shower was only used once in 5 days.If you are looking for modern, wired (altho there is a new TV we did not turn on), and luxury, this is not for you. If you are looking for clean, well-preserved, well-equipped, peace and quiet then this cottage is a good bet.
