About this property

NEW! Cattail Cove: Waterfront Retreat w/Guest House, Hot Tub, Pool,Fire Pit,Dock

Welcome to Cattail Cove, the perfect riverside escape! We want you to enjoy our gorgeous waterfront oasis where you have access to our private waterfront dock, the outdoor heated saltwater pool, hot tub, newly installed fire pit area, and recently renovated main home and guest house.

We have two houses on the property. The main house features 4 large bedrooms (King, King, Queen + crib, 4 Fulls) and has two full bathroom and 1 half bathroom. The guest house adds another full bath and an oversized bedroom with 2 Queens and a bonus loft with 2 Twin beds. There is a full kitchen in the main house and the guest house. We have recently completed renovations to both homes updating the bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces.

This rental includes both houses.

We are located on the river with our own private pier and dock. We have a private launch area for the included kayak, canoe and paddleboard- feel free to bring your own as well! Our location provides the perfect respite to spend time with family and friends while still only being 20 minutes from downtown Cambridge's restaurants, boutique shops, and the RAR brewery.

The heated saltwater pool is open from May 1-October 15. Pool temps range in the 70-80s, however if you would like the pool heated to 85 there is an additional charge of $50 per day for propane consumption. The hot tub is open all year! We recently installed a blue stone fire pit area next to the outdoor seating where you can see the river and also watch the kids play in the large outdoor field space!

We have included games, puzzles, books and toys in the living room area.

Our property is spacious and very comfortably sleeps 13 guests; however, we cannot allow more than 13 guests as we are on a septic system.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

My family had a great stay cattail cove! The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the extra space to hang in the guest cottage. We enjoyed the view of the water from the kitchen while prepping and eating. We took advantage of the hot tub, fire and kayak.The hostess, Melissa, was super helpful and timely with her responses. Uber/ Lyft are available (though wait times can vary) in the area but Melissa connected us with a nice and dependable driver so that we didn’t have stress about getting home after a night out in Cambridge.

What a great house! We stayed for one night on our way down to NC, but wish we could have stayed all weekend. House is right on the water. We enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit and looking at the stars in the hot tub at night. House was clean and updated. Definitely recommend!

Melissa is a wonderful host. She was responsive to our questions and accommodating. Her homes are beautiful- tastefully decorated and well stocked! Beds were super comfortable. The waterfront property is peaceful. We enjoyed coffee on the pier, listening to the sounds of the birds and water. The guest house is super cute! We loved the porch- it overlooks the pool and has a great view of the water and is so cozy. Our kids loved the loft in the guest house. We enjoyed the fire pit & hot tub. Downtown Cambridge is adorable with great restaurants, and just a short drive. We look forward to staying again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and were able to relax and take in the peaceful waterfront setting. Morning coffee on the pier is one of our favorite parts of the property too. It’s great to hear the guest house loft was a hit and that you were able to enjoy the porch, fire pit, and hot tub during your visit. Cambridge really is a special town, and we’re happy you had a chance to explore some of the local restaurants as well. You were fantastic guests and we would love to host you again anytime. Thank you for choosing our home!
