                        My family and I had a great vacation at this wonderful cottage. The deck and view of the lake are amazing. The owners have thought of every detail especially in the kitchen which was great since we cooked and grilled out almost every day. Great private dock where my daughter caught her first fish. It's a perfect remote location but in 10 minutes you can get to Route 6 in Wareham for lots of shopping and great food. Nice flat screen TV but cable package could use more channels. Wifi worked great. Just a perfect spot and we plan to visit again next year.

                        We had a wonderful time at this property. The owners were very responsive and provided a lot of great information. The view from the cottage is wonderful. We stayed in the fall as the leaves were turning, which made the view even better. The property is located on a quiet street and the neighbors were all very friendly. We would absolutely recommend this cottage to other and stay here again ourselves.

                        The cottage was exactly what my family and I were looking for. Located within an hour of Boston and just outside of Cape Cod, we were able to explore easily while not having too travel far. The house was cozy and the views on the lake are spectacular. I took my 2 year old daughter swimming in the lake and it was fantastic. The water was so clean and the temperature was just right. At night we enjoyed watching fireworks in the distance on the other side of the lake.

                        My husband is a Lineman and we have been all over this beautiful nation but I have to say that this was one of the top for most pleasant. The cabin was everything we needed/wanted plus more. The view is AWESOME and the owners are just as awesome. I hoped the we would have been able to stay longer but things just did not work that way but if we ever are back in the area we are MOST certainly going to look this cabin up again. What we loved most were the view and the wildlife that came around... Thank you so much! :)

                        We stayed here over Thanksgiving week ,up from N Carolina to be near family and the downtown Plymouth festivities . The location could not have been better , close enough to town and the Cape (mins from the Cape bridges),and close to the south shore towns for family visits. The house was very clean and modern and very comfortable for the two of us and our small dog . Day hikes through Myles Standish State Park around the lakes mins away. Thanks again for the use of your cottage .

                        The cottage was exactly as described on the site. There was everything that we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is excellent as a base for exploring the Plymouth area and Cape Cod but we also enjoyed just watching the wildlife over the lake.

                        This is our families third year to rent the Plymouth lake house. It is an adorable cottage on a beautiful lake. We always find the cottage very clean and accommodating. My Mom is 83 and she comes each year and our married daughter and family stay at the campground nearby. We all get together at the lake house and enjoy the lake. The mornings are especially beautiful as my husband brings his sailboat and goes for a sail and our granddaughter heads out for swim. Our college age daughter and myself have found some good running trails. The location provides easy access to the cape for a day trip. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful - A great place to make memories!

                        My fiance' andI lived here the entire winter. Jeff and Karyn were extremely nice and accommodating to our needs as we were the first tenants in the winter. The cottage was cold in January and February, but dressing warmtook care of things. The lake is absolutely beautiful in the winter, and when frozen over is perfect for just about anything. We especially loved playing fetch with our dog on the ice. The neighbors are all nice and welcoming; so much that we felt as if we lived there all our lives. We loved Big Sandy Cottage so much that we talked out parents into staying here this summer so we could enjoy the dock and rent some kayaks. Our only suggestion for additions would be for marshmallow stick for the fire pit.

                        My family and I just stayed at this cottage and it was PERFECT. It has great views(amazing especially in the morning) a personal dock (great for fishing) and everything a family needs. The area is great because it is so quiet and the people are so friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone!!!

                        Very well appointed and well equipped holiday accomodation. Owners particlarly well organised re: overseas payments, directions and local information. Good location for short excursions to Plymouth, Cape Cod and even a longer drive to Mystic Seaport (2 hour drive). Accessibilty from Boston Airport easy now Boston Big Dig finished. Very quiet spot during weekdays, more local activity going on at weekends but no night time noise disturbance at all. Superb swimming in the lake straight off the private deck.
