My husband and I come to Wellfleet twice a year in the spring and fall. We bring our dog who enjoys the beaches. This house is likely the nicest place we have stayed. The owners have gone to great lengths to make the house comfortable and beautiful with lots of extras that make it special. It is filled with light and lovely art work. There's a ping pong table in the finished basement, kayaks ready to go at Gull Pond, a masterfully done fenced in yard with garden and sitting area, a friendly, private neighborhood, and lots of touches that made us feel welcome. We hope to come back soon.

We had a wonderful time at Rose Hill. The house comfortably fit our family and golden retriever. The house is well provisioned and we loved the screened in porch at the rear. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood which allowed for privacy. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for the quintessential Wellfleet experience.

Great stay in Wellfleet!

My friends and I stayed at this house during our annual Oyster Fest weekend. We had some challenges with arrival due to a storm hitting the area and I really appreciated how Peter communicated with me so often with updates. The house itself is beautiful and perfect for a big group. It has everything you could need and is a great location - close to downtown, beaches and lots of beautiful nature. I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful house in a convenient location

The house is comfortably set up and beautifully decorated. It is close to everything Wellfleet on a quiet side street. There is sleeping room for 10, but the house is really ideal for 8 (8 dining room chairs, 8 sets of silverware). We had a power outage the morning of our departure, and hosts were very accommodating with laundry and clean-up. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely home and town

Everyone enjoyed this well equipped home with a private backyard, flower landscaping, deck, and screened in porch. We had fun exploring Wellfleet and the swimming ponds, and long dog walks on the close by beaches. The owner Peter was very responsive to any issues we had and took care of things quickly (for example, a hornets nest we found under the deck was removed within a couple hours of discovering it)! Great place to spend some vacation days or weeks. Hope to return!

Beautiful property on dead end street

We had a lovely stay. The gardens surrounding this house are beautiful. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was responsive when we had questions and the beach chairs and boogy boards provided were perfect for our days on the beach. The bike path is a short drive away as is Wellfleet Center.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Harris and Peter Basch

Host profile image
Hi, We are Peter and Leslie .We live in Washington DC but have always dreamed of having a family home on Cape Cod where everyone can gather from 1 to 101. We love exploring the outer Cape, swimming in the secret ponds, biking the paths in Provincetown and enjoying all that Wellfleet has to offer. We have two dogs who love walking on the beach and playing in the ocean. And yes, our house is dog friendly.

Why they chose this property

Peter grew up in Connecticut so he is a New Englander. Leslie was born in Massachusetts but left when she was a child. Discovering the Cape felt like coming home. We knew if we ever bought a vacation home, it would be in Wellfleet. We are learning to be Welfleetians and love its history and small town feel. We found our house in the middle of a snow storm. It was only half built but we both knew it was right.

What makes this property unique

We love the quiet street, and the view from the porch into deep woods of the Herring River Estuary. We see all kinds of wild life in the early evening, once even a coywolf. The great room makes the house special, large enough for everyone to gather and to eat , the porch is where we gather in the early evening and in cooler weather, the gas fireplace warms the whole house. We also like having one master on the ground level. Lets us have lots of guests and still have our private space.
