Great Spot

This house has an well maintained old charm. It has everything a family could need in a perfect location to watch boats on the water. The beach is within walking distance. The bedrooms are spread out which is great for a multiage family with transfers who want to sleep in.

July 4th Fun

A wonderful week was had - we celebrated our first July 4th as true Americans in style and in my perfect vacation location! What a treat to see the Chatham 4th July parade. The house was a splendid location for us and our guests plus 2 pups. There was nothing better than sitting on the porch at all times of day, just watching the world go by. We all agreed that the house was one of the best stocked we’d stayed in plus it had the added bonus of a brand new outdoor grill!! Highly recommended.

Nice Home With Water Views

Very nice period New England home with water views, well maintained and in a beautiful setting overlooking the Barn Hill town landing in Chatham. Home is pet friendly, and it is a great neighborhood for walking. This is not a brand new home- but a classic New England rambler with a Cape that has been added to. Very private sleeping areas. We would certainly rent again. The host made check-in/check-out frictionless and easy.

PERFECT beyond expectations!

Perfect! Our 2 weeks at the Kenneys’ Barn Hill Rd home couldn’t have been better. It was perfect for our sons and grandchildren’s comings and goings. We all loved having breakfast on the porch or just relaxing while watching the boats. The plantings and yard are fabulous and perfect for our dog and grandchildren to play ball. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil and serving dish imaginable. The house was clean, beautifully maintained and comfortable with lots of areas for privacy. Just a quick drive or walk to Hardings Beach, delicious Marion’s Pie Shop, Hangar B Cafe and Chatham Center (a little longer walk/drive). We love this house and look forward to next year!!! Thank you, Owen Kenney!

Perfect for families with older teens!

We celebrated my sons HS graduation here and it couldn’t have been more ideal. He and his friends stayed in the 2 bedrooms and bath on one side of the house, coming and going as they pleased. My husband, myself and our younger daughter were at the other end. We had a great week.. We spent every morning drinking coffee on the front porch, reading books and watching the kayakers. At night, we were back out on the porch watching the sky turn pink, having a drink and reflecting on the day. We walked to Hardings beach, biked to White Pond and occasionally took the quick drive into town. The kitchen was well stocked and we ate most of our meals at the house. The yard was beautiful and our two dogs LOVED exploring it. I wasn’t quite ready to go home at the end of the week.

Great stay and lovely setting

We actually had a celebration of my daughter and now fiancee engagement while on vaca. I can send you the beautiful pics of how we set up a long table on the front lawn and all the decor for the party. It was lovely. My only recommendation (and strong one) is that the two bedrms above garage NEED to have closets or at a minimum a clothes rack. As a realtor, we are not permitted to advertise a room as a bedroom without a closet. My husband and I ended up giving my daughter the primary bedroom as everything of hers needed to be on a hanger. Lastly, the front foyer could be a nice nook with a loveseat or two chairs and table in front of fireplace. This is just the realtor in me speaking. Other than those things, we would definitely look into returning again.

A perfect cottage on the Cape

This cottage is perfectly located in Chatham. It was very comfortable for 2 families. Plenty of space for everyone. The large living was a perfect spot for all of us to gather at the end of day. The cottage blends both the original cottage and the newer additions to give you the best of both worlds. The view from the front porch is priceless.

Perfect end-of-summer vacation

We had a great week in this home! Everything was perfectly clean, well-stocked, and in order. And the front porch was the perfect spot for all of us (2 little dogs included) to catch a cool breeze and watch the world go by when we weren't off enjoying the nearby beaches, shopping, kayaking opportunities, and walks. Thank you so much Owen and Family!

Wedding on the Cape

We were here for our sons wedding. The house was a perfect retreat with lots of room for the grandkids to play outside on the beautiful grounds. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the front porch watching the boats come and go. One day we watched a boat deliver a freshly caught 300 pound Tuna to the Chatham Fish Market. Amazing place to stay.

Historic home with stunning views

This home has a wonderful feel and lots of space, both inside and out. We liked waking up each morning to the beautiful views of the water and the expansive garden. The location is close to everything and yet the house is very private. We were just two couples and we each had our own wing of the house. Perfect for families as well.

Cape Cod History in a House

Recently stayed at this beautiful house in Chatham on Oyster Pond for a month. The location was spectacular. The house was funky and full of stories- clearly built over decades. Houses like this are time capsules, living history and the owners leave a booklet detailing the history they do know about the house. They also leave all the supplies you need to boil your own lobster or clams. The layout of the bedrooms gives everyone plenty of space. Rare to have, the utility/laundry room was a great place to pack and unpack days at the beach. This is a special house and I feel lucky to have been allowed to spend time with my family on the porch watching the boats come and go.
