You’ll love your own private beach and clear blue swimming water on beautiful Long Pond. "Apley House" has hosted happy family vacations for over 50 years. Situated amongst tall pines, this summer home is perfect for people who enjoy water-sports and the outdoors. You can swim, fish and boat on Long Pond, one of Southeastern Massachusetts' pristine glacial lakes. Enjoy quiet morning strolls along woodland paths and visit the nearby historic sites in Plymouth and Cape Cod in the afternoon. Apley House offers a comfy living room with wood stove, a galley kitchen and a screened porch with a fantastic view of Long Pond.
Beautiful Long Pond has clean, clear waters and a sandy bottom. With a high percentage of natural shoreline, the pond offers a peaceful respite. "Apley House" is located next to thousands of acres of conservation land. You can walk or bike for miles on the sandy trails enjoying the piney woods and numerous pristine ponds.
Apley House is just a short drive away from shops, ocean beaches and Plymouth's great golf courses. All of the tourist sites, golf courses and beaches in Plymouth are very close -- less than 20 minutes away. You can access the Lower Cape within 1 hour and the Outer Cape is a hefty day trip. Avoid wrangling with Cape Cod traffic and stay in Plymouth.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1935
Long Pond has been the summer focus of four generations of the Conant family. Gerda Conant, our mom, leads on our crew of her children; Donald, David,Susan, Peggy and Ellen and her six grandchildren. We all pitch in to maintain the rustic charm and natural setting of Apley House and our other cottages on Long Pond. To insure that development would never encroach on this special place, our family donated 40 acres of the adjacent land to the Wildlands Trust of Southeastern Massachusetts.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Our cottages on Long Pond have been the geographic center of our family -- the place where we go to reaffirm our family roots. It is a fantastic place for kids in the summer. They can have lots of independance and can be outdoors exploring the natural environment every day. The swimming and boating on Long Pond are so perfect that we rarely find ourselves visiting the nearby ocean beaches.

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Apley House last month. The cottage is charming and the lake so beautiful and clear. The kids loved it! Thank you for a wonderful summer vacation.

What a wonderful time (we) had at Long Pond. We visited historical sites, went to the ocean beaches, got lost in Miles Standish Park. But mostly we spent our time exploring the lake by boat, on foot, and by bike. After dark, we'd take kayaks out, and shine lights directly into the water and watch the fish swimming under us. I rediscovered swimming in fresh water. My sister vistied us. She and her husband know a lot about mushrooms. While she was with us, she found an assortment of wild mushrooms which she said were among the choicest edible mushrooms to be found anywhere...... There is so much to do at Long Pond, but it's also just a lovely place to hang out and do very little.

Thank you very much for a wonderful experience and beautiful memories. It provided us a peaceful respite from the daily rigors of life in New York City. This was our escape from reality. The grounds, beach and waterfront are wonderfully set as is appropriate of its preservation. We saw our first humming bird in their natural habitat.
