About this property

Quintessential Chatham Cottage by the Pond

If a true Cape Cod cottage is what you are looking for, your search ends here. Steps from Schoolhouse Pond, you can forget about having to drive to the beach. Enjoy your coffee as you walk around the pond in the morning, hike the surrounding trails, fish with the family, sun bathe, or simply swim your stresses away. After a sun-soaked day return to the cottage to enjoy an outdoor shower, head town for some fresh fish to grill & enjoy at the picnic table, then retreat to dream of another day of adventures at your fingertips.

3 miles to downtown Chatham

Holiday weekend

This was a great rental for us..we usually stay with family and this cottage is around the corner from my aunt. Our whole extended family spent the 4th together staying in different spots in Chatham. We were very comfortable here and couldn’t have been happier with the accommodations.

Cute cottage great spot

This home served our needs perfectly -- located near family on the Cape, close to Chatham, Harwich, and Brewster, and quiet setting. We are a family of four adults and while not a huge house, we were quite comfortable, cooking and lounging between visits to local family.

Lovely Cottage

Very cute, clean cottage in a wonderful location near Schoolhouse Pond. I think this would be an especially great place for a family with small children. Owner is very thoughtful and communicative. We rented this property two years in a row and are happy to recommend it!

Wonderful Cape cottage

We enjoyed a delightful weekend in this cottage. The property is clean, comfortable and well-stocked with everything needed. We loved being so close to a pond that provided great walks for our dogs. The cottage is close to bike trails, bay and ocean beaches, and the town of Orleans. It was the perfect place to stay.

Great Home near a great pond

The stay was great! Listing was described as listed, a couple notes - the yard is big and has a picnic table which is great for lunches. Neighborhood is super quiet. Saw lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. On our first night got to see some tree frogs hopping around too!

Great Stay in Chatham

Our stay was perfect at the cottage and we truly had a great vacation. The property was very clean and had all the amenities we could have wanted. Location was very close to beaches and to the downtown Chatham area. It’s also walking distance to a beautiful local pond! Communication with the property owner was fantastic. We asked to check in earlier in the day and received a response right away (they said we could)! I highly recommend a stay at the cottage! We are looking forward to staying there again in the future!!

Amazing cottage and amazing hosts!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully decorated cottage. It was cozy and had nice size bedrooms and an outside shower which was great after a day at the beach. It was a perfect location with a short walk to an amazing pond which looked more like a lake. The water was clear and it had a sandy bottom. It was ideal for our two dogs to swim and play. Whitney and Marc were great hosts and were available to answer any questions and to stop by if there was any issues. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope we can return to it for many years!

Perfect!

Everything that we might have needed was there, from beach chairs to board games and kitchen items. Schoolhouse Pond is literally 5 houses away and brought back wonderful memories for me. Close to town , other areas of interest. Whitney was always available by phone for my questions - like never having used a “Nest” before! We will return here - thank you’
