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 unique design features include an eclectic arts & crafts, romantic revival, & transitional period styles which make for a 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 10-15 people. The Sycamore Cottage, also on the property (vrbo# 27071) rents separately & sleeps 1-4 people. It is also possible to rent both Cottages for larger groups of up to 18 people. 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: 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.
Autumn in New England: 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 Plimoth Plantation is always open until Nov 28th and is host to a traditional 1620's Thanksgiving Feast, but book early. 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's Slumber: Means romantic & family weekend hide-aways gathered in front of the fireplace as a way to reconnect with loved ones. Perfect for locals (anyone who lives in the New England area) to take advantage of the discounted off-season rates. Time to slow down and settle into the deep silent nights & gather up your energy for a well wished for new year.
Spring: Beckons new beginnings & the return of much anticipated sights, smells & sounds of Nature. Stirred towards the fresh spring air of tulips, daffodills, hyacinths & forcithia. The outdoors is calling, play in the garden or with the kids & doggies on the beach, 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 all living beings in our Natural world.
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. Wake up early to view the sunrise over the Atlantic and spend the evening awaiting the Full Moon, both have the power to make break within even the busiest of folks. (Sketch pads, easles, cameras, journals are surely welcome for the inspired challenge to listen, watch, await and behold the still beauty that envelopes you).
We're just 15 min to the Cape Cod Canal where you can spend a day exploring The Cape. 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!
We invite you to come stay & take this opportunity to appreciate the simple pleasures in your Life w/family, friends, pets & Nature. Simple abundances that offer us the greatest nourishment and Joy for our Lives, but we have to choose them for ourselves and slow down long enough to enjoy them.
Your stay here helps to contribute in two ways. First, as a means of maintaining the history, charm & character of this unique home so that many will continue to be able to enjoy it & second; 10% of all profits go to support local & global sustainability efforts that draw the world closer in harmony & support of the Living Oneness in All Life. Thank you, we look forward to your visit!

It's always a joy to be able to offer it to people who love it as much as I do. Thank you so much for taking such good care of it while you were here. You are always welcome back. Best Wishes, Dawn

My husband and I stayed in the cottage that is on the property with this house. It was a beautiful place to stay. We traveled to Boston from here and also traveled a lot around Plymouth in the week that we stayed at the cottage. There is so much to do and everything is really close by. If we head that way again we will certainly stay in the cottage again. There was a family that stayed in the house while we were in the cottage and there were no disturbances at all. We would not have even known they were there. Thank you Dawn for allowing us the privilege of staying in the appropriately named "Cozy Sycamore Cottage".
Owner response:Autumn, You were a welcome addition to our Summer :) Please come visit us again. Warmest Wishes, Dawn

Great Vacation Home in Terrific Location

We loved this house and ALL of its charm. You can't say enough about having your own beach shared with just a few neighbors - if you have been to the Jersey Shore and searched for a place to put a towel, you will be shocked. We had bon fires down there at night with our cocktails, and the kids were unphased by the cold water. This is also a very dog friendly neighborhood, which was great for us dog-people. This isn't a typical beach house with one huge great room and flimsy construction. There is space and lots of privacy in the house, and you can't hear a thing from room to room because the house is so solidly built. However, if you are looking for central air and a flat screen tv in every room, this is not the house for you. If you appreciate really cool architecture and the history of a neat old house, you will be right at home. If you run/walk, you'll love the trails and spectacular views. Neighbors who live here year-round are fantastic and helpful as well. We also rented the adjoining cottage for our older kids, which worked out well. It's very close to the main house, so I would consider renting it along with the house just so that you have all of the great yard and space to yourself. We would return again in a minute, and the owner is gracious and helpful.

This home was just perfect for our weekend retreat! Very close proximity to the ocean, quiet street, lovely grounds, and a house that comfortably accommodated 10 women. We loved everything about it! Working with the home owner was better than average and she went way out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We certainly would consider coming back in the future with our group! Private, quaint, and homey! We loved it! Thank-you, Dawn.
Owner response:Nan, thank you! I have to say I was equally delighted working with you as well. It was a pleasure and you're all welcome back, anytime! All the best, Dawn

A convenient, relaxing, comfortable, clean home.

I stayed at this property with my family of 5. It was everything that the owner described it would be, clean, spacious, well maintained and close to a beautiful beach. There were many games and beach toys for adults and kids. The owner, Dawn, was easy to get in touch with for questions. It is layed out so as to accomodate many people without too much noise or feeling crowded. We would look no further to find a different place to rent when in the area. Friends and family that visited felt the same. Great yard and porch to hang out complete with barbeque. We had a previous bad experience renting sight unseen so I am writing this to save others the same nightmare. A great home to relax in, play in and entertain in.

My friends and I have stayed in many places over the years, but I have to say this was definitely one of the most unique homes we have come across. As we walked through the gate and into the property, pass the multitude of beautiful perennials there was such a serene feel to the place and then we walked inside and it took our breath away. We were absolutely amazed. We needed to walk through every room a number of times just to take in everything. Property was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The owner responded quickly to any and all questions we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone.It is the kind of house that makes you feel right at home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future.
