We loved Patricia’s little camp. It was so cozy and welcoming. It was exactly what we were looking for. She knew it was our anniversary and upon arrival we walked in to candles lit scattered hearts and a cute heart pillow on the bed. The bed was extremely comfortable and we were well stocked with xtra blankets if needed. The lake view was peaceful and beautiful. Well stocked with firewood also. Patricia call the morning after we checked in to make sure we settled in ok and she was so sweet. We never had to call her throughout our 3 night stay. We definitely will return

Very cute, little lake side cabin, w a nice yard space, hammock, boat access, and fire-pit. Kind and responsive management was very easy to engage w. But, perhaps best of all, was the private sandy beach just steps from the front patio. There is a set of well built outdoor stairs to get down to the cabin, that could present a challenge of accessibility for some individuals. But, if you can do a few stairs, it’s well worth the effort. Great spot to unwind and enjoy the cape from.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Such a peaceful spot on the lake to get away. We enjoyed using the kayaks and having evening campfires in the fire pit. Charles was super responsive with questions. I would highly recommend!

This is a very very very beautiful and well thought out cabin. The beach is literally around the corner and the beach is steps from the front door. I and my wife felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Would recommend and I hope to return. Also they have a very cute cat :)

We loved this spot! We traveled down for a wedding and wanted something a little more enjoyable than a hotel room. We loved the kayaks, swimming and overall ability to kick back and relax. It was the perfect amount of privacy. Great birdwatching and had a nice visit from a local kitty 🐈‍⬛. Thanks for sharing your special location! This is a true gem and we hope to return one day!

An absolutely beautiful slice of heaven! Exceptionally clean, peaceful, and private. Cabin had everything you can imagine for our stay. Steps from the water, a dock, and different little boats for use. I love our hosts values of cleanliness and recycling everything ❤️

Weekend Trip to Waterfront cabin 10minutes Cape Cod

The perfect little spot! We had a wedding to go to in north Falmouth and wanted to stay somewhere before the bridge and the 20 minute drive and the cost to stay here was perfect! We did a late checkout so we could sleep in and go for a swim in the lake before leaving! It was such a peaceful evening, complete silence at night and a gorgeous morning, greeted by a cat while having our coffee. Thank you so much for accommodating us! 10/10 recommend! I’m sure we will be back! The perfect little getaway, you almost feel like you’re up North! You can’t beat it. ❤️
