About this property

Beautiful Waterfront-Relaxin' on the River!

Relax in this rambling Swan River retreat while the tides go in and out. Relish the multiple window views of river and marsh. Fish, sunbathe, or launch your kayak from the 60-foot private dock. Identify wildlife in its natural habitat - hawks, seabirds, and smaller birds that alight on the deck to feed.

Enjoy every amenity in this fully renovated ranch decorated in nautical style with wood laminate flooring throughout. Lounge in the spacious living room/kitchen below the vaulted ceiling. Settle in the family room to build a puzzle, read, or watch TV. Escape to the master suite with queen-size bed, two-person jacuzzi, shower bath, TV, and deck overlooking the river. One guest bedroom has queen-size bed, the other twin bunk beds, and guest bath has full tub. A fully enclosed outdoor shower offers bathing under the stars.

Within walking distance are restaurants, coffee house, antique shop, boat rental, and convenience store. Just over a mile away in Dennisport village are more antique and gift shops plus large grocery store. Close by are great golf courses and, of course, Dennis' famous beaches on both north and south sides. A bit beyond is the entire glorious Cape.

We enjoyed our vacation tremendously with our daughter and her family. The house was extremely clean and family friendly. The children age 6,5 & 3 enjoyed fishing off the dock and using their nets to catch small fish & harmless jellyfish. Kelly there if we needed anything and she was great to talk to.

Perfect Place!

A great place for our family - 2 college age kids, me, and my husband. The location was perfect, the house was very clean and so many places were in walking distance or a short drive. Being able to walk out onto the dock and take a kayak down Swan River was the highlight for me on our last day. We loved our whole vacation and the hosts were awesome.

Perfect Spot for a Family Getaway!

We had such a great time at this Cape house on the Bass River. The house was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed—it really felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t believe how close it was to everything we wanted to do—restaurants, shops, and activities were all just minutes away. The river in the backyard was beautiful, and we loved watching the birds and swans every day. The hosts were very accommodating and always available if we needed anything. Can’t wait to come back next year for more family fun!

Sarah, We are so pleased you enjoyed the home. The convenience to everything is definitely a favorite aspect we love about River Run. You can walk, bike kayak, or drive to so many places. Yet, the home feels so private and situated in nature Please reach out when you are ready to return. We’d love to have you! Just one thing to note, we are on Swan River. The Bass River is about one and a half miles up the road. Best, Kelly

Honeymoon Stay

We had wonderful views of the Swan river. We felt we were secluded, but were in walking distance of Rte 28. We were centrally located and were able to see much of the Cape.We were able to enjoy the beach, see a play and go on a sunset cruise. It’s exceeded all of our expectations.The rental was extremely well maintained and equipped. This was a gem.

Great spot on the river in Dennis!

The location of this riverfront cottage can not be beat. We enjoyed morning coffee on the back deck overlooking the beautiful river views. Although the location was central and convenient to the Cape, the home and surrounding area were peaceful and private. The cottage decor was even more impressive than in the online photos. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

Lovely house

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at the house. The location is excellent, with a beautiful view and feeling of being surrounded by nature, and yet just a couple minutes walk from Kream and Kone, Dunkin', and many other stores. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots/pans -- we had everything we needed. Overall a lovely house. Would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing River Stay

Stayed at this lovely home earlier this year. Stayed on the Cape, the Vineyard, and Chappy many times. First time in Dennis and our stay was great in this riverfront home. Everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Absolutely loved the view during breakfast on the deck, and daily kayaking on the river. Birdwatchers will love it. Can leave your own kayaks at home. We will be back, thank you!
