  It's a lower-level suite; the landlord lives in the house above. While we were there, she was away on business, so it was totally private, which was nice. However, with the landlord away, when there was a minor mis-hap (no hairdryer), there was no immediate remedy for a wet head. No big deal, really. Everything was nice and clean on its face upon arrival, but there were some smudgy drinking glasses and a wine glass had a chipped lip. Landlord might want to check on the cleaning service's work. The bed is super comfy, although it is nestled into a nook, and one side of the bed is pushed against the wall, so one person has to skooch out the end of the bed to get up during the night. The rest of the furniture is comfortable; it doesn't feel like cheapo vacation-rental furniture. Some thought went into it. Much appreciated. The view of the pond and cranberry bog is gorgeous; however, because the unit is right on a pond, there will be mosquitoes. Landlord was prepared for that situation with a Citronella candle burning upon our arrival, a very thoughtful touch. The muzzies seem to know where the sliding screen door is, so you have to be quick getting in and out, or you will have wee visitors in the night. As a central location to the entire Cape, you can't really beat it. It's a great jumping-off point for a day of exploring Eastham, Wellfleet and P-Town. And it takes about 20 minutes driving west to catch the Hyannisport ferry to Nantucket. It also is located near to the main bike path that spans the whole Cape, if that's your thing. The unit itself isn't within walking distance of groceries and sundries, so be sure to get everything you need before you hunker down for a romantic weekend. Overall, it's a fantastic value, a great secluded location, a sweet retreat for a couple looking for some privacy. Just some minor quibbles that might partially be the result of coming off-season, so docked it one star. Still, would visit again.

  Spent three nights here right after hurricane Irene passed through. Clean, quiet and restful, a nice place to get away from the crowd. The owner informed us that the furniture was going to be replaced after we left, but we found it satisfactory while we were there. It is the ground floor level of the home with plenty of room for 2-4 guests. There is a canoe avaiable for use on the nearby pond. We would recommend it.

  A great place for writers! I set up my laptop and wrote away to a marvelous view of the pond and cranberry bog!

  the feel of tranquility and scent of nature can not be expressed well enough through the photos. well maintained, bright and comfortable accommodation with all the amenities to support it, even a coffee grinder! we bbq'ed on outdoor grill and and relaxed on the patio and enjoyed the lake view with no issues. the lake is also beautiful temperature for swimming, a few steps away, 5 min walk to cranberry bog, good running/walking area. great cycling area via cape cod rail trail, all without getting into our car, which was our main focus when staying their. if you are feeling more social nice restaurants: the Noble House and Inaho are favorites. and beach near by: Breakwater. wonderful owner, easy to work with and very accommodating. Love the place, totally worth the stay!

  We had a great week at this comfortable, clean apartment. The view is really lovely from both the bedroom and living room. In nice weather it is great to sit outside, but it was a hot and humid week so we were very glad to have A/C. On a quiet street, we were out of the tourist rush but had access to everything we needed close at hand. For tourist activities: we were about an hour from Provincetown (for the best ever Dolphin Fleet whale watch), half an hour from Eastham (for a wonderful concert by Greg Greenway), and 25 minutes from Hyannis for a sail. Other, nearby recommendations: there's a Box Lunch close by for the best take-out lunch! For ice cream, try Sundae School, but be flexible about your time as the line just to get into the parking lot can be long! And 400 East is a great local restaurant in East Harwich with perfect burgers and delicious seafood.
