Families of all ages can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and the sandy beach on this 25-acre freshwater pond. The cottage is nestled among large pines and is part of the Nauset Haven cottage community. This is a great Outer Cape location, just a short drive to the Eastham beaches on the bay or Nauset Light and Cape Cod National Seashore beach on the ocean both a 10 minute ride you have the best of both In Eastham plus a pond in front of your cottage everyone is friendly here they come from all over the US

Access to the cottage is a breeze, with a private parking spot right in front there is walkway to the front door then a step up into the front door entrance or to the deck.

Our site is packed with amenities to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy some friendly competition at the Horseshoe pit or the Volleyball net at the playground, the game room also has things for smaller children there is also a Hockey shuffle game table, a basketball hoop, or take one of our rowboats out on the pond and enjoy the serene surroundings with a loved one even grab your pole and catch a Bass right off the dock not far from shore is a swim platform to get some sun and jump off of

Quaint cottage, perfect location
Our hosts were quick to respond and happy to help with any accommodation needs we encountered. The cottage was super cute, comfortable and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Beautiful view of pond. Did not swim because weather was chilly. Great location near to many beaches, restaurants and hiking trails. Will return next visit to the cape!

A great week on the Cape
We loved being on the pond-best spot on the pond! We swam, used the row boat and watched the pond change with the weather. Cottage is small, but accommodated us perfectly.! I would stay there again!

Small house best for two
It’s a sweet place. It is small and might work best for two adults maybe with a small child. We liked the location but were used to be able to take walks and go to the bay without a car so that was more demanding.

This cottage has been in our family for over 20 years and is a special place for us.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy a beautiful view and easy access to Minister's Pond. The pond is great for swimming, fishing, row boating or simply relax in our beach chairs and toast the sunset.
