Cozy lake house minutes to Craigville Beach

We entered the property driving down a long, very private driveway. There was a hummingbird that greeted us upon arrival, which was a good omen. Tucked away, right on the lake, with a huge deck from which to watch the sun go down over the lake every night. It's very quiet all day and night, yet easily accessible to stores and activities in Hyannis and beyond. The living quarters was large enough for all 8 of us, and the deck accommodated more guests from which we celebrated my mothers' 87th birthday. The water activities kept the kids happy ( paddle board, paddle boat, canoe, kayaks ): having them there saved us from having to rent them: and the floating 'lily pad' was fun to hang out on and get some sun on. The beds are comfy, and there were plenty of plates/glasses/silverware. Having both a coffee maker and a Keurig machine was convenient. I have no hesitation in recommending this relaxing get-away Beech House to anyone looking for a balance of quiet and easy access to fun/shopping.

This is a wonderful place for a group to stay. The location feels quite secluded, fronting right on the lake which is large and mostly very quiet. On the other hand, Hyannis is a few minutes away by car. There is an expansive deck facing the water which is a great spot to hang out. Our family was very pleased with our week.

This is the very picture of a well-used and well-loved vacation house on a beautiful lake. It's set down from the road and you can only see or hear the two houses next door. It was wonderfully peaceful. It's not large and luxurious but it's clean, comfortable, welcoming, and stocked with all sorts of things to help renters enjoy the lake: kayaks, a pedal boat, a big "lily pad" floating platform that everyone loved, a private dock, beach chairs, kid's toys, and lots more. I brought a 10' sailboat that I could launch at a place a few hundred yards away. Most important, there's a deck the width of the house with a large table for meals, a big couch, umbrellas for shade and a gas grill. We spent most of our time on the deck, enjoying the view and breeze. Lots of convenient shopping nearby.

My family visited Labor Day weekend of 2018 and we were so pleased with our time on the lake we hardly wanted to leave the property. The lakeside swimming is sandy and calm, and our accommodations were perfect for our group (3 couples, 1 kiddo- there are bunk beds in the smaller bedroom, so 8 people would be comfortable).

Proximity to groceries and restaurants is perfectly convenient and there are breweries not too far away if such things entice. You can easily enjoy the beaches during the day and come home for an afternoon dip in the lake.

Any amenity you’d need for a weeklong stay is available; wifi was reliable, washer and dryer in the larger downstairs bathroom, and the kitchen is appointed with everything you need to prepare a meal at "home". We also really enjoyed grilling on the deck, which is more than spacious enough to accommodate larger family groups, and the sunsets are absolutely killer!(Seriously, just go for the sunset).

We hope to revisit this summer and would love to make it an annual trip :) This spot truly is the best of both worlds!

Our family came from NH to enjoy this house in the summer of 2018. We enjoyed the space of the house which is well arranged and very comfortable. The highlight of the interior space is the dining room table with expansive views right over the lake. The outdoor space is absolutely incredible and we did not leave the house all weekend. It is on a private part of the late, has its own dock, private beach, and large deck.

The house was cool and comfortable. We cooked most of our meals on the grill they provide outside but the kitchen is well appointed. The beds are nice and comfortable with two bedrooms having waterfront views. There is nothing better than waking up in the morning and enjoying a coffee on their deck (except for maybe having a beer on the beach later in the day). Everything electronic in the house worked well and they provided some DVDs which was great for the kids.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat, can't wait to visit again this summer!
