Lake views are spectacular from the many windows of our cozy cottage on a quiet wooded street on the shores of Santuit Pond in Mashpee, Cape Cod. Enjoy tree-framed views of the lake from almost every room. Our convenient location offers access to many parts of the Cape, including the Cape Cod National Seashore. Shopping, movies, and a fabulous ocean beach are nearby.
The main entry brings you to the den, open kitchen, dining and living rooms, with a half bath on this level. A large deck on the lake side includes a gas grill and outdoor eating area with terrific views. 2 bedrooms--queen and twin/king--and a full bath are one level up, and a queen bedroom and a full bath are one level down. On the ground level you can walk out to a quiet office, or down steps to the lake. A total of 3 indoor living areas, plus a few outdoor areas, allow room for the family to engage in various activities. Have fun with games, puzzles, and the Foosball table, and enjoy our extensive collection of DVDs and large selection of books. With 3 bedrooms plus pullouts we host a maximum of 9 guests.

Area: Mashpee is midway between Falmouth and Hyannis, not far from Sandwich, on the Upper Cape. An hour's drive takes you to Provincetown, an hour and a half to Boston or Providence. Almost any activity you might wish for your holiday is within easy access. A favorite morning activity is sitting on the deck to enjoy the amazing sunrise over the lake while sipping your morning coffee.
When we remodeled the kitchen we thought about the extended families (including our own) who enjoy staying and cooking at Tree House. The island with vegetable prep sink and stools for chatting with the cook, stainless appliances, large dining tables both indoors and out--all make it easy to center your social life around meals. The den, living room, and family room in different parts of the house also work well for various family arrangements, so you can chat, play games, watch different movies at the same time. Of course there are plenty of places to eat out or watch the latest movies on the big screen if that fits your wishes. And you'll find numerous places to take walks, enjoy the beach, go to the islands for the day, browse for antiques.
Our guests enjoy sitting, fishing, swimming, and boating from the dock. Like many fresh-water ponds on the Cape, and in the northeast overall, sometimes ours has some algae, and on those occasions, you might choose to swim elsewhere. The views are always amazing. Bring or rent a kayak, paddle board, or canoe to enjoy the pond from many angles.
