Sigren Summerhouse

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.

You'll love waking up to this beautiful natural light!

In the back of the Summerhouse, a beautiful sauna!

Your private outdoor area including a hammock, picnic table, seating area, and fire pit.

As always we are excited and can't wait to share our place with you! We are a small farmette with goats, chickens, ducks, fruits, veggies, and Irish Wolfhounds. The 1.3 acre parcel across the street from the house and farm has a forested peninsula that the A-frame is located on. Our street ends in a small stream that continues to separate the farmstead from the A-frame site. 

Come stay in our tiny rustic A frame cabin built of mostly reclaimed materials. Enjoy being across the stream and over the bridge from the main house on a private peninsula. Enjoy the privacy of a "single site" camp! Use the fire pit, grill, outdoor wood stove, single burner butane stove or umm the bathroom :) without having to leave your site! Please be aware we are in town and you may hear road noise, lawn mowers, dogs, ect. You may also see and hear wildlife ex; deer, beavers, ducks, muskrats, rabbits, geese, foxes, and coyotes. We encourage native plants and work to provide a sanctuary for many threatened bird species.

The cabin is 100sq. feet with sloping interior walls the flip up side wall is permanently open and screened in. There is no running water or electricity so unplug and unwind. A place to plug in and the water spigot a short stroll from your cabin in the driveway The cabin has a a full size mattress with sheets, blankets, throws and pillows. Lanterns, cooking utensils, camp mugs and camp coffee pot are provided. Please request the cast iron skillet and butane burner, it will not be in the cabin if you do not ask for it.

Outside on the  deck are tiki torches, woodstove and bistro table. There is a hammock, picnic table, and 2 sets of outdoor chairs at your site. We do not have a swimming hole but the town beach is 5 minutes away and requires a day pass.
