1780 Salt Box - Elegantly Restored And Modernized

This was the perfect cottage, indeed! When we arrived we marveled at how tasteful and cosy the house was. The house was immaculately clean as well. It had all the charm of a 1780's home with its hugely wide floor boards and the most beautiful and incredibly well kept gardens simultaneously having all the current modern conveniences such as a great sound system complete with sonos wired throughout the house.

If you are interested in cooking, the kitchen is incredible! Every appliance and gadget is at your fingertips and the layout is the most user friendly, with a giant stainless steel island-a true working kitchen! The grill could not have been easier to use and practically sparkled when I opened it.

The bedrooms were beautiful and the linens were so soft and snuggly, it made you linger in bed just a bit longer. There are two and a half bathrooms and lovely tiled showers.

Truro is a truly special part of the Cape and we enjoyed the ocean, the bay, and the fresh water lakes. To call this cottage home for a week in Truro would be the perfect compliment.

The owners have thought of absolutely everything in this home! Not only is it impeccably decorated in a mid-century modern style, but the renovations are so well thought out that it makes this small saltbox home perfectly suitable for a family of 4 to comfortably spend a week there without feeling cramped. I loved the sleek modern kitchen. You will find two butler's pantries. One houses the fridge, a butcher-block counter for food prep and upper cabinets for food storage. The other has open shelving and drawers for the dishes as well as a stocked wine fridge (they just ask that you replace what you use). The kitchen has every possible kind of pot, dish, serving platter, vase and utensil. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a large stainless steel island that is great for food prep - just don't use a scrub sponge on it otherwise you will scratch it. French doors lead out from the kitchen onto a landscaped patio. There is also a small screened in porch with a table and chairs for dinning. You can also choose to take your meals in the beautiful dinning room that has a sideboard stocked with linens and candles should you need them. Up a steep set of stairs (not suitable for young kids or elderly) you will find a nice sized twin-bedded room with its own bathroom. Across the hall is the larger master suite, also with its own bathroom and dressing area. Each bedroom has beautiful built-ins to store everything you bring. Additionally there is a stacked washer/dryer unit tucked away in the hallway closet. We appreciated the technology upgrades to the house -- Great wi-fi, a Sonos sound system that is controlled by a tablet in the office and Netflix.

The owners leave very detailed instruction manuals that will answer all of your questions and made themselves readily available via text the whole time we were there.

Worth noting that Jams Market is less than a mile down the road and has everything you could possible need for simple meal prep. Good wine selection, great take away breakfast and lunch options too. We are regular Homeaway renters (2-4/year) and would highly recommend renting this home! We hope to make it an annual thing.

What a great Outer Cape week. This perfectly renovated historic home has a sleek, modern kitchen with every possible pot, pan, bowl, vase and kitchen gadget that we needed to cook wonderful meals at our temporary home, and a screened porch for enjoying ever meal. Sonos over the built-in speakers, and Netflix on the TV, for the few times we turned on the tube. The house has so many fun nooks and crannies, including one nook stocked with books perfect for a Cape Cod vacation. Outside we found a front yard filled with roses, a pot of basil just outside of the kitchen door, and gorgeous landscaping all around. We were about two minutes from town, and within 5-10 minutes from our bay and ocean beaches of choice (Corn Hill and Head of Meadow). Highly recommended!

The "Big House" experience on Depot Rd. in Truro was absolutely perfect. The home is extraordinaryl tasteful...perfectly lovely. Everything from the welcome packet on the counter, the spotless clean interior and exterior, and the top quality appliances and furnishings started the experience. We met neighbors, the gardener, and the cleaning lady, and everyone was so welcoming. Thank you to the fantastic owners for an excellent vacation!
