Why the Owner Chose Mashpee
This area of Cape Cod is conveniently accessible to all the obvious activities but is quiet and relaxing. Mashpee, a historic town founded in 1658, has a notable Wampanoag presence.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Tree House is a comfortable, cozy family home. Many of our visitors consist of extended families with multiple generations included, or two families with kids who enjoy each other's company. What a great way to share time with people you care about. The house's layout allows clusters to visit in different spaces without bothering each other.
Owner's Map of Mashpee
My family has spent summers on Santuit Pond since the 1960's, and we share many significant memories there. Several 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 a block of time at the house every summer, as well as making short visits whenever we can, and enjoy sharing time with extended family and friends in the area.

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.
Owner response:I am very pleased that our visitors appreciate our careful remodelling and the resources we provide. We try to meet the needs of a variety of guests, and it's gratifying to have succeeded in so many cases.

Just got back from weekend stay at The Tree House. The house was great, and the view is spectacular. We had 11 guys for a golf trip, and found room for everyone. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The outside area is perfect for large groups with the huge deck, picnic table, and grille. We had a great time and hope to be back next fall.
Owner response:Delighted to hear that all went well, and we hope you'll be able to return. We now have three sets of repeat golf players, so clearly the house does well for more than family beach vacations.

Enjoyed our stay at the Tree House! Loved fishing from the dock and our kayaks! Visited Provincetown for great shopping. Spent one day at Old Silver Beach and one day at South Cape Beach--wonderful time! One day went into Quincy and also finished the day at Plymouth Rock! Fun shopping at Mashpee Commons! Thanks for sharing your house! FYI This is the greatest bass fishing pond!

Our stay at the Tree House was splendid. We enjoyed time on South Cape, Wellfleet, Orleans, and, of course, Four Seas. We loved using the grill & dining on the deck overlooking the lake. We couldn't think of a better place to spend our fourth of July holiday! Tree House is magnificent! Thank you for the stay, David & Michelle

Enjoyed an extended family holiday after celebrating the college graduation of our niece/daughter/granddaughter. It is a beautiful setting and we really enjoyed the chance to get together. We enjoyed the pretty lake with the morning sun, the chance to laugh around the kitchen table, and the opportunity to share delicious recipes. Thank you!

Tree House is a fantastic home on the Lake. The posted pictures do not do it justice- it is beautiful. There are 4 bedrooms and 5 separate place at the house to "get-away"- the updated eat-in kitchen, the family room, the den, the basement play room, and the large deck with a picnic table: very nice for a family gathering. The lake is quiet and private- lots of trees. The kitchen has everything you need- including a lobster pot and chopsticks! The owner is very accessible both by email and phone. We reported a very minor leak in the kitchen and the owner had someone come out quickly... within 1 hour... on Memorial Day weekend!! She was great to deal with and we look forward to our next family get-together at Tree House. My only suggestion- be sure to drive in on Lantern Lane as Hemlock Drive is in disrepair.
Owner response:Thanks so much for your very positive comments! We'd just better improve our pictures to do justice to such enthusiasm. The Lantern/Hemlock details are in our driving directions, as we hope to spare our visitors.

We stayed at Tree House for an extended weekend May 21-24, 2011. It was perfect for four grown siblings and our spouses. The pix don't really do it justice - much nicer in person. The kitchen was a delight even when we had four (or more!) cooks working together and very well equipped. The kitchen/dining/family room (much more than a den) are all open to each other with windows overlooking the pond, so we never felt cramped. We found everything to be in working order and all the rooms freshened and ready to use. The house is well located even though quite secluded with good shopping nearby at Mashpee Commons as well as a nearby Super Stop & Shop and easy to get to Sandwich, Barnstable, Falmouth, etc. We suggest The Daniel Webster Inn in Sandwich if you need a good restaurant that satisfies both fish lovers and vegans. We had cool damp weather over the weekend, but the house was cozy and comfortable.
Owner response:We are so happy that our goals are being met--we want our visitors to feel there's plenty of room to cook and to relax, even when weather keeps people indoors. Extended families are our pleasure!

This was our 3rd year spending a long weekend playing golf and staying at the Tree House. Everything went very well; the deck for grilling and relaxing, the kitchen for all other eating needs, the living room for sports on TV, and plenty of beds. We'll be back! tim
Owner response:We are delighted to have such great repeat visitors. We'll welcome you again next time!
