This is such a cute little cottage with a great view of peaceful Minister’s Pond. It was super clean and the bed was comfortable. The rest of our family was renting the main Nauset Haven house and it was nice to have our own space. This cottage could easily fit a family of four. My husband and my father enjoyed early morning fishing on the pond. I would definitely recommend this cottage rental.

The cottage is adorable, and the view of the pond is a refreshing escape from the noise in life. It was the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee and read a book. The location is close to the path to Cost Guard Beach, which is great to use in the mornings before the beach gets crowded. All in all, it is just a perfect little serene spot to recharge.

Lovely site on the Kettle Pond. Appliances in good working order. Lots of hot water for showers. A brief hike from to cottage. Breakfast nook has view of the kettle pond. Nicely furnished plus extras with beach theme.Outdoor seating and picnic table beside the cottage. Beds slept well. Remember to bring your streaming Id's & passwords for Roku TV. Needed supplies and replacements were excellent. Host was easy to contact before and during stay if needed. Bring your own bedding and towels unless you plan to rent them from third party. This was third stay so it was a great place.

Loved swimming in fresh cold water!

This place is so cute, perfect for a couple or 3 people. We enjoyed our stay and swimming down at the fresh cold water pond to take away the heat of the summer. The AC was nice and quiet too.

Beautiful and relaxing

What an absolute beautiful and serene place to stay! Was in town for a Cape Cod Institute week long training and was lucky enough to stay on Ministers Pond in this cabin on the lake. Was so relaxing to wake up every morning to the gorgeous view of the lake dominating through the windows. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Cape getaway

We loved our stay in this meticulous Eastham cottage. Cozy, relaxing, and peaceful. The location is perfect and the cabin is impressively clean. The owner is incredibly responsive and ensured we had a wonderful time - even if the weather didn't cooperate! Stay here and feel your stress melt away. We will be back!

Peaceful Retreat

We enjoyed the view of the pond from our bedroom and the porch. The cottage is so quaint and has the Cape vibe. It was perfect for our small family. We took the rowboats out and swam in the pond . The location is perfect for getting to the beach and restaurants. We will definitely try and stay again. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Loved it, but...

Everything was great, a little smaller than we thought it would be, getting around the bed was a little difficult, but do able. I'm not a spider person, so too many of those, and some cob webs. Super cute though, the pond was very nice to soak our feet after our hikes, but the highway was pretty loud. Maybe it was just the labor day holiday, which also made it a little difficult getting in and out of the driveway. Would try that area again.

Thanks for your review. I forget to look at them so O just saw yours. Even as owners we see your point about the bed. We opted for a queen bed over full which would give more room around the bed. Would you have preferred that?

Week on Ministers Pond

We love Ministers Pond and this cottage was perfect. Very quiet and a very nice view of the pond. Very comfortable bed. Communication with our hosts was effective. Short drive to the National Seashore beaches..what could be better. We’d love to return next Fall!

We Loved This Cosy Cottage

My husband and I spent a relaxing week in early August at this lovely cottage on Minister's Pond. It exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need, it was spotlessly clean and the bathroom appears to be newly renovated. The enclosed back porch with it's super comfy day bed was my favorite spot for reading with my morning coffee or evening glass of wine while looking out over the pine trees and view of the pond. We really enjoyed the pond for a morning or late afternoon swim after the beach. We'll definitely be back!

Cottage on the Pond

We arrived in July for 1 week. We wanted to be on a pond with short distances to salt water beaches. This is just what we had-a pond in front of the cottage with a dock and rowboats- and multiple beaches situated all around us (we even found Crystal Lake down the road) The out side of the cottage was spotless-picnic table, grill, adirondack chairs and a large hammock! You had a full view of the pond. (we fished morning and at dusk) The inside of cottage was again "spotless", TV's, Cable, all appliances are new..Nicely decorated!!! ceiling fan in the porch facing the pond was our favorite place! We would watch the pond from there- while eating our breakfast, and dinner...yes there is a fireplace. we did not use the fan in the main bedroom. (could not get it to work) but opening the windows brought the cool breeze in. Location was perfect. We loved the area and the cottage!!

Quiet and Relaxing

This small cottage was perfect and delightfully confortable. Our relunctance about being so near the State Highway was unfounded as we almost never heard traffic noise in the cottage, just the occasional chorus of frogs. Loved our view looking out over the dock. We used our own canoe on the pond and also the row boats available to Nauset Haven guests. Truly a beautiful, quiet, snug haven on the Cape.

Cozy Cottage in Peaceful Setting

This property was located in a peaceful setting overlooking Minister Pond. The cottage was well equipped with just about anything you might need. It is centrally located on the Cape Outer Coast, so everything from Provincetown to Chatham is within easy driving distance. While the property was close to Rt 6, it was still relatively quiet. You feel like you're very isolatyed.
