Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad your family was able to enjoy what makes this property so special — the private pond, surrounding trails, and secluded setting within the Cape Cod National Seashore. We also want future guests to know that the maintenance concerns mentioned in this review have been addressed. The affected ceiling was taken down, replaced, and repainted. Fortunately, there was no water damage to the structure and no mold was found. The flooring has also been updated as part of the property’s ongoing improvements, and the linens and bath mats have been refreshed. As noted in the listing, this is a very secluded property and internet service is not provided. Cellular coverage in this area can also vary significantly by carrier, something unfortunately outside of the homeowner’s or our control. If reliable cell service and data access are essential during your stay, this may not be the best fit. For many guests, however, that remoteness is exactly the appeal. Properties like this — tucked away in the National Seashore with private pond access and very little connectivity to the outside world — are becoming increasingly rare. We like to think of it as one of those “last one standing” Cape Cod experiences.

Dear Chris, We appreciate your kind words about our property and the fantastic vacation you had there. We're glad to hear that you loved the place and enjoyed the opportunity to truly unplug and disconnect from digital devices. We understand that the long, bumpy road leading to the property may be a concern for some guests, and we appreciate you mentioning that an SUV or high-clearance vehicle is recommended. It's helpful for future guests to be aware of this, although it's reassuring to know that you managed well with a conventional minivan and VW Golf. We appreciate your positive perspective on this aspect, highlighting the benefits of being disconnected and enjoying quality time with friends and family in a beautiful setting. It's heartwarming to hear about the activities you enjoyed on the pond, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and simply floating while reading books. The ability to have meaningful conversations without the distractions of phones and computers is indeed a unique experience. We've also included the amenity of "No internet" for listings as guests are beginning looking for this type of retreat! Thank you for mentioning the tick check afterward, as it's important for guests to be mindful of their surroundings. Thank you once again for choosing our property for your vacation and for highlighting the unique aspects of your stay. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another deep relaxation experience.-DM
