Sigren Summerhouse

1 site ¡ LodgingSandwich, MA
In the teens (and in their teens) my paternal grandparents immigrated to Massachusetts from Sweden's island of Gotland. Every summer in the 1960s my family visited Cape Cod aunts and uncles, cousins and all those Swedish relatives. Sigren Summerhouse is an homage to both those happy Cape Cod memories and to the summerhouse that my father Vincent built beside the barn and the creek that ran behind his Victorian-era house in Michigan. Pops loved gardening, churning homemade ice cream, telling stories and welcoming people with a hearty Swedish Hillbillie hug.Learn more about this land:Get away from it all at Sigren Summerhouse's cabin-chic year-round retreat. The rustic creek-side barn has modern styling and all the conveniences of modern life. The grounds and gardens are in the heart of Cape Cod's oldest village, Sandwich. It is both close to Upper Cape amenities and a great departure point for exploring all the Cape and Islands have to offer.

The best camping near Scusset Beach State Reservation guide

Overview

About

Looking for the perfect beachy paradise to park your trailer, grill some burgers, and watch the fireworks spark? Scusset Beach State Reservation is a classic family recreation area that is located at the gateway of Cape Cod. The area offers a popular fishing pier, a quintessential soft sandy dune beach, swimming, picnicking, and nearby walking and biking on the Cape Cod Canal. It’s the perfect spot to pull out your lounge chairs and watch the plovers scurry along the shoreline. If you are coming from Boston or the South Shore, it’s a great way to get to the Cape without committing to all the traffic! Once you are here, you can comb the beach for clams, crabs, seashells, or sand dollars (the regional currency). It’s places like these that make New England winters a little more bearable!
