Peaceful cottage tucked away in beautiful Mattapoisett. Located only 1 mile from Ned’s Point Lighthouse, the town beach and pier, this quiet getaway truly has something to offer for everyone. Multiple restaurants such as Turk’s Seafood, the Mattapoisett Inn and Rustico are located right near the property and you are only 9 miles from historic seaport New Bedford. Cape Cod is also a quick drive away making this property a spectacular location to get that “on the Cape” feel without dealing that “on the Cape” traffic. *please note there is 1 video doorbell at the front door and one security camera on the barroom overlooking the back yard. The outdoor shower is seasonal and is shut off in September to prevent freezing pipes.

This was our second time staying and will be booking this property again. Chris is a great host, he is quick to respond and ensures his guests has an enjoyable stay.
Our family had a wonderful time at Chris’ place. When we had questions, he was quick to respond and place was clean and welcoming. Our 5 year old enjoyed the back yard and we had enough space to accommodate an unexpected friend who came in last minute for our friend’s wedding. We would stay here again.
The cottage was spacious, clean, attractively furnished and just perfect for our family of 3. The hydrangeas were in full bloom and it was beautiful. The backyard was private and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning with our coffee. Would certainly stay again. So close to the shoreline. Fished off Ned’s Point and enjoyed the ocean breeze. Super location!
The Mattapoisett Cottage was perfect and we had a great stay. It had everything we needed and was in a fantastic location! We would 100% stay there again in a heartbeat!
We loved staying here while in town for a friend’s wedding! It was great having 2 separate bathrooms and the kitchen and living space were very comfortable.
Very peaceful spot with privacy and a nice backyard. Everything i needed was in walking distance and the home was very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and we hope to come back!
The cottage was perfectly located near Boston and Cape Cod, so we could go to the beach and a museum in the city. It’s located in a nice secluded area behind some beautiful flowers and trees. After a long day, the cottage felt very comfortable.
Great property...Owner VERY responsive...great location to a lot of great restaurants and shops...easy access to main roads for daytrips etc...would definitely stay there again!!!
We loved this place! It was so quiet and peaceful. The bed is so comfortable. The bar was perfect to watch the Pats game. Can't wait to go back in December!
Lovely cottage for a week stay to visit family and friends in the area. Perfect quiet location tucked back off the main road. We loved hosting happy hour in the backyard man cave!
Chris was quick to respond to any issues that came up.
We loved the Mattapoisett Cottage!
We stayed four nights and loved it, especially the outdoor space, since we were lucky enough for a New England Indian Summer weekend.
The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The bathrooms clean with plenty of towels.
If you’re looking to stay in the Mattapoisett/Marion area or are attending a wedding at Shining Tides, look no further.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was the perfect space for our family (2 kids under 11yo). We loved being able to walk to Oxford Creamery and get lobster rolls and ice cream. The Cottage was well maintained and very clean. Chris was also a very responsive host. 5/5 would recommend!
This was our 2nd time there and enjoyed every minute of it. Very cozy and private. Chris is an exceptional host and got back to me very quickly when I had a question about the heat. I can't wait to go back.
We tried to find a home base to see Cape Cod, Boston, and Newport. Worked out great. The house is lovely and the bar was a very fun last night Par-tay! lol
We were both delighted with the cottage and the accommodations. The yard and grounds are beautiful.
we never got the code for the bar room but we didn't need to use it. I loved the wildlife, birds, chipmunks, bunnies and squirrels. We didn't really know how to operate the TV and would have liked to watch the local news.
We had a GREAT stay at the cottage. Chris was the perfect host, checked in with us to see if we needed anything, and instantly replied to a question I had. The cottage was super clean, everything anyone would need is provided linen’s, towels, washing soap, etc. Tons of closet space, nice bathrooms, plenty of flat screen TV’s, outdoor grill and a bar to watch your favorite New England sports team. Perfect location lots of stuff close by and walking distance to a local creamery. We will definitely be staying there again for our next visit. Perfect cottage and Perfect host!
Our visit was short but sweet. Our daughter & grandson could not join us unfortunately, but our stay was still good. The weather was warm for 3 nights, then changed to drizzly & cool on Saturday. Enjoyed eating at Turks & takeout at Oxford Dairy. Fieldstone Market is Wonderful!
Thanks, Chris
We had an enjoyable 5-night stay at the Mattapoisett Cottage! With 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, the cottage was perfect for 4 adults. We felt very relaxed in the private yard, enjoying the peaceful and quiet surroundings. The cottage is perfectly situated for walking and biking to local spots. We would definitely stay here again!
