Why the Owner Chose Mashpee
This area of Cape Cod is conveniently accessible to all the obvious activities but is quiet and relaxing.
The Unique Benefits at this Home
Tree House is a comfortable, cozy family home. Many of our visitors consist of multiple generations of a family, or two families with kids who enjoy each other's company.
Owner's Map of Mashpee
My family has spent summers on Santuit Pond since the 1960's, and we share many significant memories there. Five years ago my husband and I decided that we wanted our own piece of the Pond, a house that we could both use for our own family's vacations and rent out so others could experience the peaceful environment of the Upper Cape. We spend several summer weeks here ourselves, as well as other short visits, and enjoy sharing time with extended family and friends in the area.

What a wonderful Fall kick-off. The Tree House is a Cape Cod treasure! Trees starting to turn, a cranberry bog harvest, seals, turkeys, lighthouses, seafood, and NO CROWDS!! Thanks for our time on "Golden Pond."

Thank you so much for letting us spend Labor Day in your lovely home. It was perfect! The view was breath-taking, the location was great, and we couldn't have asked for more. We definitely want to come back to Tree House in the future.

I just wanted to send you a note saying how much we are enjoying the Tree House! . . . We've been talking to all of our family about how much we love your property. I am sure we'll be back and our relatives will probably be contacting you as well. . . . I'm totally impressed with how clean and well maintained your property is. I know how hard it is to keep up with a quick-turn property. Many thanks and have a nice holiday!

I rented this house for my extended family to celebrate Dad's 75th birthday, and it didn't disappoint on any level. It was such a welcome sight to walk into the beautiful den and dining room and see the lake in the background. Over the course of our week there, we never tired of the view. The owner did everything to make sure we had what we needed for a worry- free vacation: good directions, lots of travel information in the house, can't- miss recommendations on everything from beaches to farm stands to seafood stores, plenty of books and movies for the rare rainy days, and even a welcome basket to greet us after a long day of travel. It's a really comfortable space, and a tastefully decorated one. We never felt crowded and given that we love to cook, we appreciated the top-notch kitchen. Never had to buy any kitchen gadgets. They have everything! Mashpee is a great spot to be, as it will save you from having to not only get to the Cape but then drive further up route 6 (which can get congested). It's a good starting point for day trips to a wide variety of different beaches, antiquing, the quintessential Cape mini golf courses and plenty of quaint little towns. Nothing's more than an hour drive away from this house. Without hesitation, I'd rent this again, and would give anything to be sitting on the back deck with my coffee this morning, watching the sun rise over that pretty lake!

Our stay was quite pleasant. Because of the extreme cold of January, we were able to "walk on water" (err. . . SOLID water), and enjoy the lake from a notably new perspective. Though we would love to make another attempt at walking across the lake in summer, we have concluded that our efforts may result in extreme wetness.
Positive Rating
We had an absolutely FANTASTIC time. The kitchen got rave reviews from the cook, and we had a blast in the rest of the house, too:) Thank you so much for letting us stay here--we DEFINITELY want to come back next year when it's warm enough to swim & hang out on the porch. We were glad to wake up to the 1st winter snow, though.
