Private Cottage on Kinnacum Pond (1646)

Escape to a simpler time at this quintessential Cape Cod summer cottage, tucked away in the heart of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Down a rugged, 0.6-mile wooded dirt road (SUV suggested), this charming 1,300-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage offers the rare opportunity to truly unplug, slow down, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Surrounded by woods and sitting beside a private kettle pond, the setting is peaceful, private, and wonderfully rustic. Spend your days swimming in the pond, enjoying the outdoor shower, or wandering through the woods to the ocean bluff to take in sweeping views and breathe in the salty Cape air. Ocean beaches, additional ponds, and Wellfleet Center are all about a 10-minute drive away.

This is Cape Cod at its most natural and unspoiled. There is no internet or Wi-Fi, and cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier (land line available). There is also no air conditioning. Instead, open the windows, listen to the birds, take a swim, and enjoy the kind of quiet that is getting harder and harder to find. Think less screen time and more summertime, live like it's 1993!

The cottage is accessed by a rugged, wooded dirt road, so an SUV is recommended. Please enter from Gross Hill Road, not Long Pond Road.

Linens are provided. Short getaways are available with an additional cleaning fee, or save the cleaning fee by staying 7 or more consecutive nights. An administrative fee and applicable taxes may apply.

If you're looking for luxury and modern conveniences, this may not be the right fit. But if you're looking for rustic charm, privacy, nature, and a true Cape Cod escape, this special cottage offers a chance to get away from it all and reconnect with what matters.
