The Cape Cod Acre is a cozy one acre oasis just 1 mile from beautiful Cape Cod Bay. Our Honey Shack is a private off grid (no electricity) tiny camp, nestled between pine trees and blueberry bushes. Nearby you can enjoy stunning beaches, hiking, paddling (fresh water ponds or the ocean), surfing, biking (access to the to the Cape Cod Rail Trail is less than a 10 minute drive), great food, restaurants and shops.The Honey Shack is an off grid (no electricity) tiny shack located in a private corner of our yard. Campers will enjoy a comfortable loft style bed (bring your own blankets!), a plush built in couch, a small private deck, and an indoor sitting area/counter with a hand washing sink (tap water supplied with portable water tanks). The composting toilet is in a custom built outhouse* (campers are responsible for disposing of solid waste), and we will allow access to our outdoor shower (hot and cold water- attached to our house- available hours are posted in the shack/ we limit time to give you and us privacy since it’s attached to our house). The camp comfortably sleeps 2 in the loft bed, a third person could sleep on the couch. A fourth person would be tight and you need to provide your own sleeping mat. Tents and car camping are not recommended as our lot is on a hill! Spend your time secluded among the surrounding pine trees, or meet our chickens, and honey bees, on our property. Take a 20 minute walk to the beach or a quick bike ride. Enjoy the best of Cape Cod with an easy drive to beaches, parks, restaurants, and shopping. There is no fridge or electricity supplied to the honey shack. While the shack is comfy and waterproof, it is basic…it’s camping but cuter. You will most likely meet a spider or a bug, and while we provide some lighting a headlamp or flashlight is recommended. The structure is 13x7ft, just enough space to relax! *With our composting toilet we will supply the disposal bag and wood shaving covering, campers are responsible for disposing of the bagged waste. We live on property, and can frequently be found outside, but will respect your space. Say hello if you want, ask for tips, or keep to yourself! We have a dog, an overly friendly black lab, she loves to greet people, and loves kids. She will likely wander over to you at some point with a wag and wiggle (her name is Star). Neighbors are close by, but woods and fence provide plenty of privacy. We have honey bee hives on property! They are generally docile and mind their own beeswax (ha!), but if you have a bee allergy or fear of bees this may not be the spot for you.

Honey Shack
Host was very kind and we do love the idea they had with the honey shack. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving half way through our trip. We are no strangers to bugs and camping but the second morning we woke up completely covered in bites… I found 4 wood spiders that had infested my clothing bag and 3 in the sleeping loft. We were really disappointed as the sole purpose of this was to have a better shelter than typical car/tent camping. Sadly, we would have been better off in our car or tent.

Cutest little spot ever!
Honey Shack
This was the cutest place ever! Great signage, very well equipped, toilet and shower were very clean. Host seemed very nice- though we didn’t meet, we communicated through you messages. We absolutely loved this place and 11/10 would recommend.

The cabin is quite cute, and though small, it has a snug feel to it. We had beautiful weather all week which came in clutch as we used the porch as an outdoor kitchen which made the cabin inside feel more spacious. There are some sweet trees before the cabin, perfect for a hammock setup and a clothes line. And the proximity to the beach was ideal for a morning or evening walk or quick bike ride. The outdoor shower is lovely and the outhouse was clean. Though a note about both of these - there are restricted times the shower is accessible and you are expected to bag up your own poop and take it to a trash can when you leave. Both of these expectations were a bit of a surprise to us and would have been helpful knowing beforehand. Overall, I would stay again.

The Honey Shack was great! A perfect mix of rustic, clean, comfy & well appointed. My husband and I had everything we needed and we were super comfortable. The setting is lovely and private, but also close to Brewster restaurants & stores. We will be back for sure!

Cozy cabin near the beach!
Honey Shack
We spent 2 nights here and slept so well! Cabin is neat and filled w extra nice things like board games and even a place to charge our phones. Outdoor shower was LOVELY after a day at the beach. The hosts were so nice and thoughtful. It was such a perk to have a small pump sink for dishes while camping!

A great woodsy site in the middle of Cape Cod. Place was clean, easy to find and had everything we needed. Liked that they had a charging station that also ran a light for the shack.

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend at the Honey Shack for a last minute Cape getaway. The Cape is his favorite place, and after this stay I fully understand why. While we saw very little of them, the hosts were great! As was the dog, Star, whose appearances were always accompanied by a frisbee and a tail wag. Their setup was very well thought-out. Despite being in a great location central to so many things, it was quiet and peaceful. The property was beautiful and we loved waking up to the chorus of songbirds and the sounds of nature. While the cabin is technically off grid, there was a large charging station and quite a few battery operated lights, which was a pleasant surprise. The hosts also include a binder with information on the area, local beaches, and pamphlets with trails as well as things to do. The outdoor shower was incredible! While there are technically official shower times for the outdoor shower, the hosts were very flexible and accommodating of us showering when we wanted. The hot water coming out at a high water pressure, coupled with the cool cape air, was extremely refreshing and the perfect end to a day along the ocean. I will note, the fire pit outside is a chimney-style fire pit. Great for sitting around a fire without smoke blowing in your face! But don’t plan on being able to make food or coffee over the fire. This was our first time using Hipcamp, we didn’t know what to expect. The experience provided at the Honey Shack went above and beyond.

Quiet and cozy
Honey Shack
The Honey Shack is such a cozy little place. Perfect for a quiet couple’s weekend. There is plenty to do around the area, the beach is a short walk away and the vibes are great. It was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, cozy and peaceful. We would definitely come back for another weekend!

Cute and comfortable
Honey Shack
Welcoming and cozy. Natural setting even though surrounded by homes it felt secluded, private and quiet we didn’t even see a person or hear a car. Mattress was so comfortable! Was a great break from wet rainy tent camping for a more dry cushy comfortable home like feel yet still “camping”. Close to everything the area has to offer great for exploring all Cape Cod. Thoughtful and cute place. Even fresh little flowers in tiny vases. Composting toilet got the job done but definitely prefer the pit style rather than the bag in bucket and taking with you when you depart but knew this going in and it fulfilled its purpose. Was so thankful for an affordable, comfortable, rustic yet charming place. Owner was very communicative. Would highly recommend to anyone and would return in a heartbeat. Loved it!

We had an amazing stay at the Honey Shack. Usually we tent camp every time we visit the cape, so this was an upgrade. We loved that we had a sink and solar power. The property was so peaceful and Holeigh was a very attentive host. We can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time at the Honey Shack! It was just what we expected and needed during our stay on the cape. It was organized, unique, and we greatly appreciated the notes, reminders and tips on how to best utilize the space/location. The property was quiet, and private. We had no trouble finding the location. Star the lab greeted us on our last morning and was VERY sweet! Also, we were surprised with a jar of the honey from the honey bees! It was delicious and a great addition to our morning coffee. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Cozy and lovely spot off the beaten path! We were very happy not to be in a tent during rainstorms during our stay. Loved the repurposed wood and the off grid amenities were great, including a sink pump. Host provided all the needed information on using amenities, including the compostable toilet which requires you to haul out the solid waste at the end of your stay. Very grateful for an affordable option on the Cape!

No security, poor lighting, spiders
Honey Shack
The shack was decently built, it could be better. The building wasn't insulted at all so it felt damp in the room and very cold. The shower was outside with no roof or anything and no lights, I had to prop up my phone to with it's light to see anything and it got wet. There's 0 security with this room. The door does not lock at all. There's lots of spiders, bugs, and other creepy crawlys watching you sleep. Some even bite you in the night. We slept with the lights on. Good for one night if you need a spot with a shower if these aren't deal breakers for you.

I arrived during pouring rain so this tiny cabin was a welcome refuge. A cozy dry place to shelter in. Used the "couch" with my sleeping bag and was very comfortable. Awoke around midnight and realized the rain has finally stopped and saw clear skies. Went out early in the morning so it was not until that afternoon that I toured the place. Very nice secluded spot in a corner of the property. Wooded with cozy fire circle for relaxing. Signs and solar lights guide guests around. Solar charging station inside is nice for phone batteries and low wattage lamps. Hostess was very helpful and excellent communicator. I'll visit again

I cannot recommend this place enough! Holeigh was kind, communicative, and very flexible with our shifting beach day plans for check in. The space itself is small but we fit four people without too much trouble. It was really nice not having to set up tents after a day in the sun. The rudimentary lights, water, and outhouse were all good – and the outdoor shower was the highlight. The space it also private which is great. 10/10 would stay again - thanks!

Perfect weekend getaway!
Honey Shack
The Honey Shack was the perfect weekend getaway for two! It was in such a central location and we were easily able to go to Truro, Wellfleet, and Chatham, but still had a private, woodsy feel. We absolutely loved using the fire pit and watching the stars. Holeigh and her partner were so hospitable and kind, we would love to come back!
