Perfect ! Amazing cottage right in Eastham - close to everything but also away from the main road for some peace and quiet on a beautiful pond. Great communication from the owners. Would stay again !

Great for small families!

Perfect size for a family of 3-4, very clean and well laid out. We enjoyed the close proximity to the lake and other amenities on the property. Great location on route 6 in Eastham affords easy access to all that Cape Cod has to offer. We would definitely book this again!

A great week on the Cape

We loved being on the pond-best spot on the pond! We swam, used the row boat and watched the pond change with the weather. Cottage is small, but accommodated us perfectly.! I would stay there again!

Perfect getaway

This cottage looked just as it did in the photos. It was perfect for my family vacation with 2 teens. Everything was perfect and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful with everything. Kids loved the rowboats and swimming off the dock. Would love to stay here again.

Lorina and Mike’s cottage is cute, clean, and comfortable, and they couldn’t be better, more responsive hosts. We so appreciated their approval of our last minute booking for this long weekend we so desperately needed. We especially loved the beautiful view of the pond, and eating and reading on their deck overlooking it. We will definitely be back!

Great cottage and location

The cottage was in a wonderful location on the Cape. We’d like the Eastham area so much to do and great beaches. Loraina and Mike were wonderful hosts and answer any questions that we had. Having a cottage that is right on the beach of the freshwater pond is wonderful for the kids We will definitely go back to this beautiful little cottage!

The house was very clean and the location was great. Was also very quiet even though there are other cottages around the pond. We had an issue with getting the heat to work because it got very cool in the cottage during Hurricane Erin but eventually the owner got the service company to get it working.

Peaceful Escape

For me, this is a perfect location. I have a life-long love of the Outer Beach in Eastham. Cottage #4 was well equipped. The view of Minister’s Pond is ideal although I did not swim during this stay. I love this spot primarily because my husband and I truly relax as soon as we get settled.

Cottage on the Lake

The cottage was peaceful. Sitting by the pond a few steps away was a great way to relax after a day exploring Cape Cod . The location is central to exploring the northern part of the Cape including Provincetown and surrounding beaches and trails. The owners were available although all we needed was already there.

The cottage welcomed us when we arrived. Everything was sparkly clean and fresh. We were in and out of Ptown a lot, but for the time we spent at the cottage, we were either on the screened porch or the deck, watching ducks and cormorants sunning on the swimming dock. The rowboats were a treat for morning gliding on the water. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to supplement what we brought. All in all, a wonderful place to chill out!

Perfect week

I had a lovely week. The house was comfortable and nicely decorated. It had everything I needed. Perfect location - the house is at the top of stairs down to the pond. I went swimming twice a day most days-so much easier than having to drag everything to a beach. Very quiet neighborhood. A great experience.

Lovely weekend getaway

This is a lovely cabin located just off the highway with private access to Minister Pond. Very quiet an secluded area. The cabin itself is small and cozy, but perfect for my small group of friends. Kitchen and pantry staples were provided but we did have to bring our own linens and towels. Check in was super easy and the home owners were very responsive to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend!

Quaint cottage, perfect location

Our hosts were quick to respond and happy to help with any accommodation needs we encountered. The cottage was super cute, comfortable and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Beautiful view of pond. Did not swim because weather was chilly. Great location near to many beaches, restaurants and hiking trails. Will return next visit to the cape!
