About the host
Hosted by Lorina and Mike Ouimette
We are from Connecticut and have been coming to Cape Cod since we were young. We were lucky to find this cottage and to be able to enjoy it with our family. We enjoy swimming and fishing on Minister's Pond, taking day trips to Provincetown, Whale Watching, and walking on the nature trails and beaches nearby.
Why they chose this property
This cottage has been in our family for over 20 years and is a special place for us.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy a beautiful view and easy access to Minister's Pond. The pond is great for swimming, fishing, row boating or simply relax in our beach chairs and toast the sunset.
