Cozy Cottage in the Woods

We enjoyed the peaceful setting which was a short walk or bike ride from Lecount Hollow Beach. We also liked the easy walk along the fire road to the Marconi wireless station. The house was comfortable and well equipped for preparing meals, something many rentals don’t offer. We would go back next year if circumstances allow.

Wonderful stay

Perfect wellfleet home. This place is what wellfleet is all about. On the national seashore side, very close to le count hollow beach, maybe a 3 minute bike ride. Located in the woods just off a very quiet road. We spend almost all of our time at the beach, nice to come back to an outdoor shower, lovely deck for breakfast outside. Fire pit, hammock. Exactly as pictured. I have been renting in wellfleet for 15 years every dinner and this one is fantastic. Super responsive owner

Another Amazing Year at One of Our Favorite Places

We’ve been staying at Jackie’s smaller house across the street for the last several years. This year we ended up bringing my parents as well, so we needed a bit more space. The Foote Cottage is lovely and homey, with plenty of space for the 5 of us to spread out! You cannot beat the location, being within walking distance to the beach, bike trail and PB’s and Jackie has always been an amazing and gracious host. We can’t wait to go back!

Splendid Wellfleet family cottage with great location

Wonderful homey cottage in off main road woodsy locale. Fully adaptable for three generations of visitors with even a foosball set to promote high powered tournaments. Kitchen is well stocked, dining on deck, outdoor grill, lounging on rear private deck and glorious outdoor shower. And the location is key for access to ocean, fresh water ponds and other Cape special places. Great support and tips from owner, Jackie.

Perfect Week in Wellfleet

The Foote Cottage was a perfect choice for my family. The property itself was well-maintained and spacious - with 2 beautiful terraces, a fully-stocked kitchen, comfortable living room space. The house definitely had a family feel vs a typical beach rental property. Jackie was a very communicative host who made check-in/check-out experience easy and seamless. She also made herself easily available of the course of the stay to answer any questions about the house or the area. Extra points for the location - a walking distance to the beach, bike trail as well as easy breakfast options. The town was a short drive from the house. Would definitely recommend this place for a group of up to 6 people, and hoping to return next summer.

Quaint cottage in ideal location

My husband and I absolutely loved this house. We felt at home with the cozy decor and nostalgic feel of the house. The outdoor shower is so wonderful to have. We also loved the location. We biked nearly every day to Lecount Beach just down the street. We also enjoyed biking to some of the Wellfleet ponds where parking can be difficult. The trails to the left of the house were so nice as well and the lookout was beautiful. We love the outer cape and especially Wellfleet. We try to visit every summer and hope to visit this house again next year. Our host was very kind and responsive with information. She checked in to ensure everything was good and always got back to us right away with any questions. Thank you for our very relaxing stay!

Foote Rest Cottage a Wellfleet Gem

The cottage is clean and accommodations inviting for families. There are so many things to do with ease of accessibility to beaches, LeCount Hollow in walking distance, ponds, bike path, Cedar Swamp walking trails out the cottage door is a big plus. The cottage has plenty of space for families with 2 1/2 baths & an outdoor shower that rocks. The yard has a fire pit & the back deck looked out over a beautiful wooded landscape. You can watch the bunnies & even see deer . This is a quintessential Cape home with a-lot to offer!

Perfect place to stay if you want to go to beach

We stayed with one other couple and our friends rented a hotel. We got chased off the beach day one by torrential down pours. So we had our friends come back with us to play games. They had an ez up that we set up on porch we got to still be outside and play games and cards and visit with each other. Could not have done that is we stayed in a hotel. They are all on board to rent houses for next year instead of a hotel. It was so much fun, and the place was perfect!!

Hidden gem

We have done day trips to Welfleet but never stayed in the area. We were headed for a cramped hotel until Jacqueline was willing to rent to us for a long weekend. Here’s why this is a great Welfleet rental: 1. Helpful and gracious owner 2. Awesome location within a short walking distance to the beach, two amazing bakeries, the bike path (including rental shop) and a world-class French bistro. We enjoyed them all. 3. Wooded, peaceful setting but right off a major road. I consider it the best of both worlds. A shaded retreat from the sun without feeling buggy or isolated. (I’m not a big woodsy person). 4. Easy drive to Welfleet harbor with warm, bayside beaches and more fun restaurants. 5. Easy drive to the Welfleet drive-in, which is fun with or without kids. 6. If you prefer to eat in, the house is well-stocked and clean. It is just like the photos, with dated decor (so-to-speak) and personal memorabilia. But that’s what makes the home so charming. 7. Fire pit 8. Huge deck 9. Outdoor shower 10. Basement bedroom with separate entrance and bathroom. Great for my teens. Loved it. Cannot wait to go back.
