Great Home near a great pond
The stay was great! Listing was described as listed, a couple notes - the yard is big and has a picnic table which is great for lunches. Neighborhood is super quiet. Saw lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. On our first night got to see some tree frogs hopping around too!

Great Stay in Chatham
Our stay was perfect at the cottage and we truly had a great vacation. The property was very clean and had all the amenities we could have wanted. Location was very close to beaches and to the downtown Chatham area. It’s also walking distance to a beautiful local pond! Communication with the property owner was fantastic. We asked to check in earlier in the day and received a response right away (they said we could)! I highly recommend a stay at the cottage! We are looking forward to staying there again in the future!!

Delightful and Easy!
Small quaint cottage somehow feels quite spacious and accommodated our family of four. The home is thoughtfully decorated with vintage and new furnishings. It has alot of style but still feels as though it is for renters not for its owners. It is very well run by hosts. It is evident they deeply care about your stay while giving you space. The pond is delightful. I do wish there was a little more privacy on the property itself. It is exposed to the street with a-side yard for grilling and relaxing. I realize its alot of work to maintain, but a few shrubs would be paradise! All in all, great family retreat! Thank you Whitney.

Perfect Cape Cod Cottage with Central Air
During our visit in July we had high temps and lots of sun, perfect for the beach (check out Red River beach about 5 minutes away... its our favorite!) but we really enjoyed coming back to a cottage cooled by central air. It also made the visit very comfortable for our pug! The location is great with just a short walk down to the pond and a quick drive to Marion's Pie Shop. This is a cottage - and it is small but would be great for two couples or even a family with younger children. It was perfect for us and had everything we needed. Whitney was so easy to work with. We had a great stay!

Amazing cottage and amazing hosts!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautifully decorated cottage. It was cozy and had nice size bedrooms and an outside shower which was great after a day at the beach. It was a perfect location with a short walk to an amazing pond which looked more like a lake. The water was clear and it had a sandy bottom. It was ideal for our two dogs to swim and play. Whitney and Marc were great hosts and were available to answer any questions and to stop by if there was any issues. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope we can return to it for many years!

Everything that we might have needed was there, from beach chairs to board games and kitchen items. Schoolhouse Pond is literally 5 houses away and brought back wonderful memories for me. Close to town , other areas of interest. Whitney was always available by phone for my questions - like never having used a “Nest” before! We will return here - thank you’

Wonderful Cape cottage
We enjoyed a delightful weekend in this cottage. The property is clean, comfortable and well-stocked with everything needed. We loved being so close to a pond that provided great walks for our dogs. The cottage is close to bike trails, bay and ocean beaches, and the town of Orleans. It was the perfect place to stay.

Walk to Schoolhouse Pond!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this tidy, pet friendly cottage, located a short walk to Schoolhouse Pond and a quick drive to Chatham Center. The house was immaculate and well stocked with all the essentials. Our family of four adults found it quite comfortable and welcoming. The hosts were delightful! We highly recommend this cottage!
