This cottage is in a quiet marshland which has expanded since the Herring River tidal restoration project. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that we had stayed in the cottage next door a decade ago. This area is replete with history of the writers and artists who also serenity and each other's companionship. I would return, if it were possible for my husband to negotiate the sloping terrain and staircases up to and inside the cottage.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback Karen! This property is quite the private, hidden gem! We hope you will book with us again in the future. -MC

This property is lovely and we'll definitely be coming back next year. Not only is it aptly named (quiet & private), but you're immersed in nature here with beautiful sunrises,lots of wildlife, and, to my surprise, sweet, clean air drifting in the windows all day and night... I had expected a boggy smell given the surroundings. I had also expected lots of mosquitos, but only got one bite the entire week. The house is really charming with clean and comfortable furniture (that king bed was so comfy!) and everything you'd need for a week's stay. Can't wait to go back!

Everything was perfect, the house looks small from outside but is very spacious and comfortable inside, romantic seclude location, the only thing i wish the old pans are thrown away, the bathroom sink needs professional cleaning.

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your notes about the pans and bathroom sink as we’ll be sure to pass this along to the homeowner and housekeeping team for review. We’re glad you had a wonderful stay overall and hope to welcome you back again.

Repeat renter here. The setting never disappoints. A quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of space and privacy to enjoy being outdoors. A short walk to an amazing bay beach, perfect for long walks, swimming, sunbathing, and sunset viewing. I feel close to nature here. The house is comfortable and the rental agency is very responsive. Just a short drive to Provincetown. Payomet performance center is close by. The mosquitos were not too bad this year. The salt marsh is in effect!

Manager's Response

So happy to hear you enjoyed your time here again this year John! "Feeling close to nature here" is the perfect way to describe this property! Customer satisfaction and comfort is our top priority, and we are so glad you were pleased with out service. Hopefully we will see you again next year! -mc

Lovely country respite

We absolutely loved this house and location! The house itself is very charming - it has so much history to it, which we always appreciate. This of course means it's not the spiffiest, newest home with all the latest and greatest appliances and such - if that's what you're searching for, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for something homey that meets simple needs and fits a lot of adults, this house is perfect! (I wouldn't recommend it for children, as there are a lot of levels and noise travels easily throughout the entire home.) The location is wonderful if you're looking to get away from civilization - which is precisely what we wanted. It is tucked away on Bound Brook "Island" (it was originally a real island until they dammed it up a century ago, but now they are restoring it to be an island once again!), and you have to drive about 5 minutes on a fairly rough road (our group had a small SUV and a small sedan, both were completely fine, you simply have to make sure to go slowly). Once you make it, you likely will only hear nature for the duration of your stay! The stars are astonishingly clear, it's so fantastic to sit and stare at them while next to the fire pit outside. The bayside beach is about a 15 minute walk from the house, but do keep in mind the mosquitos are pretty vicious, as it is marshland. We chose to drive the 2 minutes to the beach entrance when we went, which resulted in far less mosquito bites. Overall, if you're looking for a restorative remote getaway where you can commune with nature, I recommend staying here!

What a magical place! A beautiful 18th-century house in the middle of the National Seashore, utterly private and remote, just a 5-minute' walk from the bay. Though the house is more than two centuries old, it is comfortable and well-equipped, from ample bedrooms to wireless Internet access. A large brick terrace in front of the house, overlooking flower beds and fruit trees, has comfortable chairs and tables, a barbecue, and a fire pit. Outside the kitchen in the back, a large glass table & umbrella make a lovely shady place for breakfast and a late-night get-together spot after the kids have gone to bed. A relaxing hammock nearby was enjoyed by the kids. The owner promptly dealt with an early check-in problem. We will be back next year.

Manager's Response

Greetings David!
We sincerely appreciate your thoughts and experiences about this very special home! We are so happy to know you were comfortable and that you made wonderful memories on beautiful Cape Cod. Once again, we appreciate your valuable positive feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Cheers to magical older homes, relaxing hammocks, and time to enjoy them! -CH

Given the general condition of this simple and old house, the price of the rental would be exorbitant, if it weren't for the astounding location. This is not for everyone, but it is very attractive for visitors who love solitude and wilderness. View of a salt marsh and short walk to the beach. The mosquito problem (due to breeding in the many stagnant salt pools) was apparently beyond awful a few years ago (and you still get attacked during your walk to the beach); but there is larvicide spraying (among other measures, I believe), and the situation around the house is acceptable.

Manager's Response

Thank you for choosing our property for your vacation! What truly sets our rental apart is its remarkable location. For those who cherish solitude and a connection with the wilderness, our property offers an unparalleled experience. With a stunning view of the salt marsh and a short walk to the beach, nature enthusiasts will find this setting incredibly appealing. The mosquitos were indeed quite severe in previous years, however measures to improve the situation have been taken to mitigate the issue. While mosquitoes may still be present during your walk to the beach, we believe the situation around the house is now acceptable and manageable. Thank you once again for choosing our cottage for your Cape Cod getaway and we can't wait to see you again! CA

This property will not be for everybody, but if you have a good sense of adventure, it may well be for you. The house is located towards the end of a mile-long, rutted, single lane dirt road (but 4-wheel drive is not necessary). The house used to be an old ice house with much of the wood planking preserved and heat delivered by a pot-bellied stove. There is an intriguing 3 to 4 mile loop trail right outside the back door. The beach is a 200 yard hike down the road and across the dunes. The beach is beautiful and, more importantly, not well used. There are loads of beach hiking adventures to be had in the immediate National Seashore area. Wellfleet is a perfect scenic Cape Cod seaside village (make sure to try the locally caught shellfish). Overall, we had a great time.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for sharing this detailed review! We look forward to your return in the Summer of 2023! We hope for you to return in 2023!

We secured this rental last winter when COVID infections were spreading rapidly, in the hopes that we would be far from the hustle and bustle of town and crowds. The location of this house did not disappoint in that regard--it is very private, woodsy, and peaceful. But the mosquitos were so bad, we could not enjoy the outdoor spaces or the outdoor shower. We were also not able to walk to the beach because the mosquitos were relentless, even after covering every inch of our skin and spraying ourselves down with mosquito repellent. The house itself is rustic and unique, but very dusty. Upon our arrival, the bath mats in the shower/toilet area clearly had not been laundered, and the mirror above the bathroom sink had not been cleaned after the last guests. We felt the need to do some cleaning and wiping down of some surfaces before settling in. As expected, being in the woods, the house has lots of spiders and insect inhabitants, but many of the screens are also old and have large holes and gaps to allow them in. The house is advertised as having two bathrooms, but it only has one (unless the outdoor shower is considered a bathroom). The property management company was great and even called to check on us after the remnants of Hurricane Ida came through. (The house held up great with all the rain, by the way.)

Manager's Response

Thank you for your feedback, we will let the homeowner know. We appreciate you taking the time to write this review!

This property is ideal for couples or adult friends who value seclusion and natural beauty over amenities. It's a great place to read or sit around a fire or enjoy a nearly private beach. The property has been upgraded a few times over the years and has an interesting history. There's not a lot of privacy inside the house, and you'll feel a bit on top of each other if your group has more than four people. The road to get there is pretty wild - you'll wish you had an SUV if you don't have one. It's great if you want to experience the uncivilized side of the outer cape. One night we were sitting by the fire when the coyotes started howling nearby. It was kind of spooky and also pretty amazing.

Manager's Response

Sounds like a great vacation week in Wellfleet! We hope to host you again next season!
