About this property

Pondfront. Newly Renovated Carriage House. Canoe, kayaks, deck, outdoor shower..

**New in 2024 - outdoor shower and sauna**. This antique carriage barn – completely renovated in 2018 – is situated on seven acres of private land nestled next to a beautiful pond. From your comfy abode you will have a view of the forest and, from your large deck, you will gaze out over the spacious lawns at the pond. Take a short paddle in a canoe or kayak (boats included) across this pond to the sandy beach and the clear, perfect swimming water of Long Pond, Cape Cod’s largest fresh water body. Grab your fishing pole to catch a largemouth bass in the prized fishing pond. The salt water beaches on Cape Cod Bay are a ten-minute drive, as is Main Street with such treats as the Brewster General Store, the Brewster Scoop ice cream shop, the Brewster Bookshop, the Brewster Fish House, Hopkins House bakery (best muffins and pies on the Cape) and the Snowy Owl (Cape Cod's best coffee shop). The ocean beach in Orleans is fifteen minutes by car; so is downtown Chatham.
The carriage house, built in 1883, has been lovingly restored. Most of the original beams and boards remain. It has been decorated with a mixture of antiques and comfortable new furniture. The first floor has a large room with dining and sitting areas as well as a kitchen area with modern appliances. There is a large full bath with tiled shower and heated floor, also located on the first floor (guests rave about the water pressure). The second floor has two bedrooms, a sitting area with a queen-sized fold-out couch, and a half bath. With the fold-out couch, the house can accommodate up to six people but please note that we usually do not allow six adults but will consider case by case exceptions. For more than four people, there is an extra charge of $25 per person per night for each person over age 10. There is AC throughout the house; the upstairs rooms have ceiling fans. There is an outdoor shower on the property for your use (FYI we also use it when we are home in the main house).
The owners live in the main house on the property and look forward to making your stay as perfect as possible. There is wifi suitable for streaming movies and shows but no TV in the carriage house. The downstairs has Sonos.
We are happy to accommodate rentals starting and ending on any day of the week, depending upon availability. We will consider requests to stay less than 7 days on a case by case basis. Monthly renters receive a ten percent discount. Please also note that under Massachusetts law there is no tax on rentals of 32 days or more.

Peaceful week on the Cape
The house is well designed and even prettier in person; we had everything our family of five needed for the week. Beds were comfortable. Kayaks and canoe were fun to use for the five minute trip across the pond to the swimmable fresh water lake - which my kids (ages 9-15) did almost every day. The house is centrally located between charming Brewster and vibrant Chatham, a little closer to Brewster. The best swimmable open ocean beaches were about 25 minutes away, and we did find the trek worth it - especially for my two active teens. All three kids also spent a fun day taking surf lessons with Sacred Surf School, which the owners’ son owns. The owners, Matt and Elyse, live right next door and were communicative and helpful. Lovely home base for the week!

Excellent VRBO
Matt and Elyse were high accommodating and responsive. The carriage house had a lot of charm and was perfect for what we needed. The dirt road to the house was a bit rough, but other than that, a very good stay.

Wonderful, quaint, and convenient spot to enjoy Brewster
Our family of four throughly enjoyed our stay. The pretty carriage house was clean, comfortable and perfect for our group. The pond was great fun for canoeing and paddle boarding. We didn't fish, but it looked like a great spot for it. The house is so convenient to the beautiful beaches and attractions of Brewster as well as the surrounding Cape towns. The hosts were very helpful, kind and pleasant to deal with! Highly recommend.

This property has been in our family since 1969. We live and in the Boston area and have two grown children. We have countless fond memories of summers here.

Why they chose this property

This property is extraordinary and unique. It is very old property with a historic home and carriage house with large lawns and a beautiful view. It has exceptional privacy and serenity. For those who love swimming in the ponds, it is ideal. The large deck is a wonderful feature and is great for visiting, hanging out, eating and stargazing. The house is also centrally located to many of Cape Cod's amenities, including Chatham (15 minute drive), Wellfleet (25 minute drive), Cape Cod Bay, and Nantucket Sound .

What makes this property unique

This house is unique in that (1) it has pondfront and there is a sandy public beach on a large pond just a short canoe ride away; (2) it is exceptionally private as it is located on seven acres of land, most of which is protected conservation land; and (3) the house is historic yet newly renovated.
