About this cottage rental

Castleway cottage is a charming and rustic historic 1100 square foot three season cottage, just steps away from the Pamet River which opens up into Cape Cod Bay, one mile south of Corn Hill Beach. Built in the 1890's as an artist's colony, Castleway is one of 8 Sladeville cottages (built by Mr. Slade), which are steps from a private riverfront on the Pamet River. Bring your kayaks, canoes and floats, or use ours ! Pet friendly. Cottage is simple and charming, with a remodeled kitchen, first floor full bath with tub and shower, outdoor shower, two bedrooms on the first floor and two on the second, along with a half bath. Sleeps 7 comfortably. Entire inside freshly painted, including all ceilings - some of the photos are before ceilings were all painted white, will update with new photos soon. Living room has a working fireplace. Dining room table can seat 8-10. There is a small TV in the living room and a second one in the upstairs master bedroom. Internet is provided and signal is good, as is a land line for local calls (cell phone service can be spotty). Rustic and old fashioned but clean and functional. Bedrooms are recently painted with some water views, a reading chair in each of the first floor bedrooms and windows for nice light and ventilation. All new hybrid mattresses in every bedroom and linens are new or in good condition. Dressers and closets in all bedrooms.

Kitchen includes quartz counters, pine cabinets, and all customary kitchen equipment including microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, drip and keurig coffee makers, washer & dryer, pots and pans, dishes and plenty of utensils. BRING YOUR OWN BED LINENS AND TOWELS, WE PROVIDE ALL PILLOWS, BLANKETS AND QUILTS. (Linens and towels can be provided for an additional fee if notified in advance). Outdoor shower is heavenly.

Property also includes outdoor adirondack chairs, a gas grill, a polywood dining table plus 6 polywood chairs and an outdoor umbrella. Free standing hammock for those lazy naps. 8 beach chairs, foam noodles and floats available for your use. Parking spaces for two cars, and three additional guest spots may be available if needed but not guaranteed (shared with other units on first come first serve basis ). Swing set for children and large grassy area in front of the cottages for outdoor play. Leashed dogs permitted for an additional $150 fee per dog. Professionally cleaned before and after each guest. Saturday-Saturday arrival and departure during peak summer weeks. Built-in electric heaters installed in master bedroom, living room and first floor hallway outside full bathroom which can also serve to heat the queen bedroom. All rooms have portable electric heaters for warmth in the shoulder seasons. Plenty of fans in each room for hot summer days. No AC.

Note - Although it may not appear so on the google map, the Pamet River flows right out to Cape Cod Bay, so you can take a kayak or canoe from our cottage, and paddle out to the bay beaches within a few short minutes, as well as stop along the way in Truro harbor, where you can moor or anchor larger boats.

Fantastic family destination. Also great for one couple or family, or as many as three couples, and extended families. Many repeat guests over many decades.

For a change of pace, please check out our one and two bedroom waterfront cottages in North Truro (#3506195 & 5076989), our 3 bedroom walk-to-water all season cape (#976979) and our charming 4 bedroom house in Woodstock, Vermont (#3809315), which is great in both winter (for skiing as it's near Killington, Pico & Okemo mountains) and summer/fall.

Absolutely fantastic location. Enjoyed kayaking and the charm of the home. Hosts were super and responsive to all questions.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Host Liz is responsive and very kind. The house is quaint with a historic feel, and I fully enjoyed my stay. The old windows all around are wonderful, providing light, cross ventilation and a beautiful view from the dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, although there is no dishwasher and the stove requires a grill lighter. The washer and drier work well. The house smells fresh despite its proximity to the river, which I appreciated due to my mold allergy. The shared grounds are spacious and tranquil, with a swing set that my grandchildren loved and my personal favorite: 2 adirondack chairs set overlooking the river, that my 8 yr old granddaughter and I sat in to paint watercolors. The wiring is upgraded with lots of surge protectors provided. There are just a few problems I should mention: 1) My over 6' tall son-in-law had a problem with the bed that is advertised as a "king", but is in actuality 2 twin beds pushed together. At 5'3" I had not been aware of this, but twin beds are shorter than king size, and he was very uncomfortable sleeping with his legs & feet dangling. 2) There is no air conditioning as advertised. Mostly the cross ventilation and multiple fans spread throughout work well, but there were a few days and evenings when the house was uncomfortably hot. 3) The old floors might need to be checked by an engineer (?) for stability and safety as they are not level, & in some places (esp. under the tub and upstairs) quite shaky.

Lovely home, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with absolutely everything you’d need or want. Overlooks a salt marsh on the Pamet — which makes for a great walk. Various boating options on property. Very caring host.

We loved our stay in this turn of the century beach cottage sitting high above the Pamet River. The decor is comfortable, relaxed, and aesthetically pleasing. Loved the cool breezes off the river and swims in the marsh at high tide. Cottage is well equipped and had ample room for our 5 to 7 adults. Looking forward to returning again!
