Not your typical cottage...this One of a Kind Year Round Retreat was built in the early 1920's by Nelson Warner as a summer hide-away & labor of love. It's very unique design features include the arts & crafts, romantic revival, & transitional period styles which make for a very charming custom designed bungalow of yester-year, & the natural surroundings to enjoy it.
Just a minute to long strolls on private 'Manomet Bluffs' Beach it's a great place to get-a-way anytime of the year. This "pet friendly" property is nestled on just under 1 acre, completely fenced in, with mature plantings of hydrangea, rhododendron, mountain laurel, wisteria, roses, norway spruce, dogwood & more; all gathered in and amongst a natural woodland border & certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat through the National Wildlife Preservation Foundation.
Which ever time of year you wish to visit, pack light. The house is well equipped. We do our best to help make your vacation retreat a spot that you & your family will want to come back to enjoy year after year. There are a few ways we can accommodate your stay remaining flexible & affordable for everyone. The Main House rents by itself & sleeps 8-10 people. The Sycamore Cottage, also on the property (vrbo# 27071) rents & sleeps 1-4 people. It is also possible to rent both Cottages for groups of 10-14. Please inquire for more info.
Locally enjoy bakery's, ice cream, sub shops, gourmet coffee shops, breakfast diners, pizza, italian, chinese, a great little Thai take-out spot, fresh seafood, a supermarket, & a corner store all w/in a 5 minute walk of the house. In town (10 min drive), there's Indian, Mexican, Thai, Seafood, Sandwich/Deli, Home Style, & Italian to be brief.
Activities include championship golf courses, antique shops, boutiques, museums, & intown shows/dancing/concerts. Local History requires you visit the Plimoth Plantation at least once, along with the Mayflower II & Plimoth Rock. Walk the waterfront and you'll find the Capt. John Boats for dinner cruises, deep sea fishing, whale watches & ferry rides to Province Town (better known as "P-Town"). Kids like the Plymouth "Duck Tour" (first you'll tour around town before taking "the splash" to tour the coastline), Town Trollies, & Nightly Lantern Tours. If you book early enough, you can plan on having Thanksgiving Pilgrim & Native American style. A sit down dinner hosting a traditional 1620's culinary feast. But hurry, reservations often sell out before end of summer.
"Summer-time, Summer-time, sum, sum, summer-time." Where all you need is book in bag, towel in hand, & toes in sand. It's time to hit the beach! Cape and Islands too! The backyard is perfect for picnics, frisbee, catch, cookouts, late night stories...don't forget the tents if the kids would rather sleep outside in the fresh air, under the stars for a night or two.
In the Fall, enjoy cool nights, hot fires & comfortable days. Fall foliage peaks late October. Welcome back the seals with us as they congruegate on the rocks just off shore to spend another winter frolicking in the sea. The Plantation is always busy, open till Nov 28th. You're w/in driving distance of more NE peak leaf peeping & mountain hiking spots, in southern NH, VT & ME. From the 1620's go to the 1830's of Old Sturbridge Village open year round. The Cape & the Islands quiet down this time of year and local villages on Rt6A welcome late season visitors. These are all great day trips.
Winter promises, romantic & family weekend re-treats gathered in front of the fireplace as a way to reconnect with loved ones. A great time for locals (anyone who lives in the New England area) to take full advantage of the discounted off-season rates and specials & gift yourself to a well earned, get-a-way. Time to slow down and settle into the deep silent nights & gather energy for a well wished for new year.
Spring beckons new beginnings & the call to enjoy the return of anticipated sights, smells & sounds. Stirring us towards the fresh spring air of tulips, daffodills, hyacinths & forcithia. The outdoors is calling us to play in the garden or with the kids & doggies on the beach while we explore what the past winters storms have drudged up onto the shores. These relects now become perfect adornments for this springs new "community developement project" - fairy houses! Build them in the beachy sands & edged woodlands for others to discover. Our way of having fun, being creative & paying respects to the tiny living creatures that walk Nature's Path.
We're nestled right into the beginnings of Cape Cod Bay. From Manomet Beach shores, on a clear day, you can see the Cape arm & P-Town. Every day, visibility depending, you can watch the sun or moon rise up over the ocean having the power to make break within even the busiest of folks. (Sketch pads, easles, cameras, journals are surely welcome for the warm hearted challenge to try & capture the awesome beauty that wispers to you).
We're just 15 min to the Cape Cod Canal where you can spend a day exploring The Cape or take a ferry out of Hyannis or Falmouth to the Islands of Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard. Boston is only 50 minutes north, & there's lots to do in BeanTown!
