About this cottage rental

Situated in Plymouth, this attractive cottage for $459 per night is a great choice for your next break. Are you a nature lover? Apley House is the spot for you. You can see eagles flying overhead while you walk sandy trails that lead around cranberry bogs and wooded ponds. Enjoy swimming, fishing and boating from your own private beach (with dock) on pristine Long Pond. Apley House has hosted happy family vacations for over 80 years. It offers spacious housekeeping accommodations for up to 9 people. The cottage has four bedrooms, a country kitchen and a large, comfy living room with fireplace. Exterior gathering spaces include a screened porch in front, deck in back and a large yard with plenty of space for lawn games. The waterfront is a short walk across the sandy road and down a wooded path. There are two baths: downstairs has a spacious shower and laundry area. the upstairs bath has a historic clawfoot tub with hand shower. Situated in the middle of conservation land, this spacious summer home is perfect for people who enjoy water-sports and the outdoors. You can swim, fish and boat on one of Southeastern Massachusetts' pristine glacial lakes. Enjoy quiet strolls along woodland paths and visit the nearby historic sites in Plymouth and Cape Cod. Plus, Apley House is just a short drive away from shops, ocean beaches and Plymouth's great golf courses. Avoid wrangling with Cape Cod traffic and stay in Plymouth. There's so much to do in the area: Swimming, fishing and boating are favorite activities on Long Pond. The lake is well-stocked each spring and there is a public boat ramp for access. Ample hiking and bicycling trails head into the Wildlands Trust properties next to the cottage and lead you through woods and cranberry bogs around Halfway and Gallows ponds. The scenery is magnificent. We've seen osprey, eagles, mink, and more. It's an easy drive to the near-by Plymouth and Cape Cod tourist sites; it takes about 15 minutes to drive to Plymouth Bay beaches and Plymouth Plantation. The Lower Cape beaches are about 45 minutes away and it is less than 3 miles to Pine Hills and many great Plymouth golf courses! We have additional cottages and cabins about 1/2 mile away from Apley House. You can add these to your rental or take them individually as one, two or four bedrooms. We are occasionally able to accommodate larger groups (up to 35) in the entire property.

I just loved this house and all the character. While it was hot in house upon arrival it was easily cooled down by opening windows and use of fans. Great proximity to activities in the area. Very clean qnd well taken care of. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. So many fond memories made at the Apley House. Thanks for the wonderful stay and we hope to visit again soon!

Our stay was perfect. I loved the size of the space for my family and two year old. The eight person table was great for nightly game nights, the kitchen was well equipped and had everything we were looking for, and the living room was spacious enough for everybody to be comfortable. The pond across the street is absolutely heavenly especially in the morning when the sun hits the dock. I couldn’t believe how clear the water was I almost didn’t want to leave to do other activities. Next time perhaps I won’t! The laundry facilities served as an added bonus too an already perfect stay. Thank you for ample towels in the bathroom and the kitchen!

This was a really lovely cottage. Some family members thought a bit too rustic, but it’s a classic lake house. The lake was absolutely gorgeous with a clean, private beach! Owners were responsive to any messages. We didn’t realize there wasn’t any A/C, so if you’re going in the summer, prepare to be a little warm!

Very easy to rent, get information about house, and answered immediately when we called. It was more rustic for some family members than expected and perfectly rustic for others. Everything was great. First experience in New England area was a success. Thank you!

Can’t say enough about this rental property. The remnants of yesteryear in this old summer house brought us back to a simpler, slower time. Loved every old part of this home-the windows and screens, the double doors out to the porch with the old style locks, the rustic walls that tell you it’s summer. The lake was clean, clear and serene with splashes of water lilies. Close to Plymouth bay for some sea time. Plymouth center is a perfect escape for the young adults. Dirt road, pine needles, birdsong, fox, woodsy path. Best vacation.

The property was surrounded by beautiful trees and a pond which gave it a very bucolic look.
