It was a great house with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating and fun activities for all. The kayaks and canoe lent itself to fun memories and the central location to other parts of the Cape was perfect. A well stocked kitchen was essential for our Lobster dinner and the seafood feasts we enjoyed during out stay. We would all stay there again and a repeat trip has been discussed!

Fantastic Family Vacation house
We stayed with my family of six and my brother’s family of five and it was the perfect set up! The house is divided into two sections so it’s great for multiple families, with a shared kitchen and dining area. Being right on the river was fantastic. We kayaked everyday and the kids caught crabs and shrimp off the dock. They also had cornhole which was fun. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed, the deck was beautiful and a great place to hang out. The house was super clean and homey. We loved every minute!

A Wonderful Home
My family and I, 11 people in all, needed a large home and this house was perfect. We had stayed there before, so knew it would fit our needs, but were pleasantly surprised by some of the upgrades, especially the deck and fire pit. It is a big, very suitable home with everything a family needs to be comfortable and enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod.

Beautiful Home with more than enough room for all of us.
We visited earlier this month and enjoyed our stay. Everything from the house, the location, communicating with the owner and the beautiful views of the river was everything we wanted. The house was perfect for my family and my sister’s family. The deck overlooking the river was gorgeous and a great place to enjoy dinner altogether. This house is perfect for two families to vacation together.

Lovely stay by the river
This was our second stay at the property and we really enjoyed our stay. The location right on the river is perfect for enjoying water sports. We utilized the provided canoe and kayaks to explore Swan Pond. The owner was very responsive when we had a minor issue with equipment for the canoe and kayaks and were overall great to work with.
The layout of the home was great for our large group of seven. There are two separate living areas and ample dining space indoors and out. I recommend this property for a lovely stay on the Cape.

A Perfect Fit
The house layout was awesome. It allowed 3 separate family groups to each have their own space while also allowing for 2 large gathering areas.
Outdoors, the deck and patio were perfect for our large group and the availability of kayaks and a canoe were a big hit. Youngsters learned to fish and catch rock crabs from the dock, something I'm sure they will long remember. We also appreciated the close proximity of beaches, shops and restaurants.

Great Space for Multiple Families
The house was a great space for multiple families. There were plenty of rooms, bathrooms, ACs, tables, and seats. We loved being able to all fit at one table inside and out! We also had a puzzle table set up for the whole week and still had ample table space. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill was used. Access to the water and use of paddle craft were fun. No lifejackets were provided, so I'm glad we brought our own. While we appreciated the bug-free yard and maintained landscape, we did not appreciate two landscaping companies and a pest controller coming on three separate occasions to work on the property without prior notice. After the 3rd company arrived, we contacted the property manager, but received little sympathy. In addition, the cleaning crew walked into the house an hour before check out, so we weren't quite packed up and they started anyways. The last critique would be there is a second house on the property that was not mentioned in the description. It's a small cottage that shares the driveway and water access. While the guests stayed to themselves, it was unexpected to see men outside the kitchen window when we had teenage girls walking around the house and yard in bikinis. We felt the discomfort and surprise could be avoided if this info were disclosed on the posting and on the paper with all the house info hanging in the kitchen. In our haste to leave, we forget a pillow there and the host mailed it to us in a timely manner. Overall good stay.

July 2022 Vacation:
What a wonderful property. By far the best equipped property we have rented on the Cape. The property is just as listed and the Host is great to deal with , very responsive. We had 7 adults and 6 grandchildren and had plenty of room to spread out. The location is ideal, close to many beaches and lots of activities for the kids. Two wings on the house with separate bedrooms gave each family their own space. Plenty of common areas in the middle, Large deck and yard completes the house. Would gladly stay here again.

Wonderful vacation home!! Beautiful
We had 13 people staying at this lovely and super clean home. The configuration of the home lends itself to having two large families staying here since the bedrooms are on opposite wings. The home has two family rooms each equipped with very nice furniture and large TVs. The bedrooms are configured so that adults don’t have to sleep in bunk rooms but have actual Queen or King beds. There is one bedroom with its own en suite. There’s a wonderful large deck looking right out on the Swan river with it own very nice dock. The home is well equipped with paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and bikes. Also, the kitchen is large and extremely well equipped with newer appliances and a newer Gas range - all Whirlpool. A new Webber grill is off the deck. We absolutely loved staying here and the owners are the very best! They keep the place immaculate!! We highly recommend this wonderful home!! We will certainly be back!!! Love, love, love it!!!

We loved the layout of the house, which is divided into three sections, so families could be somewhat separate, as far as making it possible to go to bed and wake up at different times without disturbing everyone. The location on the river with all the paddleboards, kayaks, beach chairs, etc. in the shed was perfect!

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: Dorothy Rigalis
We always have loved Cape Cod. A very special place to enjoy the beach and family company. Many wonderful memories on the River which we would love to share with you. We haven't rented for a few years even though we had many regulars come year after year. Two of our children have relocated to Cape Cod and purchased their own homes therefore making it unecessary to have this big house to ourselves.
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
This house is a great location with plenty of room to spread out. Great for families looking to make some special summer memories.
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
Located on the swan River. Great house for family reunions, golf groups, wedding parties, or any other large family gathering.
