Private Beach on Pond, Linens Included, Kayak & Canoe. All Rooms w/ Pond Views!
Marta (my wife) and I are two Canadians who now call Massachusetts our home. Our lovely place in South Chatham is our new second home. We simply fell in love with our place due to its beautiful placement on Mill Pond. In season, we only make our place available a few weeks a year. Because we love our new second home, we meticulously take care of it and hope to provide a personal experience that the other major rental corporations on Cape Cod cannot provide.
Our home is a 3-story Colonial Cape style home with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms located on Mill Pond in South Chatham. What truly differentiates our home from others on Cape Cod is our own private small beach and a patio overlooking Mill Pond. Mill Pond is a small private pond with no public access which keeps this area particularly clean and peaceful throughout the season.
The top floor includes two bedrooms: a master bedroom with king sized bed, walk in closet and very large ensuite bathroom with shower and a second bedroom with double and twin beds with ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The main floor includes a patio, living room, dining area with sweeping pond views, kitchen and half bath. Finally, the ground or above ground basement floor includes the laundry and two bedrooms which have a queen bed or a double bunk bed respectively. The bedroom with the queen bed includes a patio door with outdoor shower access.
Other amenities included with our home are central AC, a full washer and dryer, a new Weber Barbeque on our patio, a fire pit with Muskoka chairs, outdoor shower with hot and cold running water, high speed wireless internet and the premium Xfinity TV package on both TVs in the house. For use on the pond we have a Kayak, Canoe and an inflatable paddle board with a few life jackets provided. White linens (all purchased new for the 2023 season), bath towels, basic toiletries, dishwasher tabs and all kitchen utensils and plates will be provided to guests.
Guests will have ongoing contact with us for questions or concerns and will have the availability of a local caretaker/handyman for emergencies.
Area attractions include the quaint town of Chatham, the Cape Cod rail trail and at least 4 beaches in Chatham and Harwich within 2 miles including Red River Beach, Forest Beach, Ridgevale Beach and Hardings Beach. We are walking distance to the famous burrito shop "The Corner Store" and a very short distance to a large Stop & Shop grocery store.
There are a few important disclosures about our place that guests should be aware of. There are no bedrooms on the main floor so stairs are required to get to all bedrooms in the house. This is an important consideration for guests with reduced mobility. Our place is located on main side street with some significant traffic from 7:00am-4:00pm due to a landscape supply depot down the road. There is absolutely no on street parking but our driveway can accommodate 4 cars. One of our neighbors owns a Roster which can be heard early each morning if the windows remain open. As everywhere in the Cape near ponds or in highly wooded areas like our property, occasional bugs may be present in and around the house, but most of our Anderson windows have screens to keep them out. Finally, we have a doorbell camera monitoring our front door. If you have any further questions or concerns, please message us and we will be quick to reply.

Had a great time staying at this residence in Chatham! Beautiful home, spacious for the whole family, all the essentials for a family staying with kids and great location! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Cape Cod and stay in Chatham!
We loved our stay! The house is close to town and located on a dreamy pond that was perfect for kayaking and canoeing. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely home — spacious, well-equipped, comfortable furniture and beds. Enjoyed the outdoor deck with view of the water and kayak/canoe on the premises. Perfect choice to gather as a family for the week. We were sad to leave!
The host did a great job communicating the nuances of the property.Very clean and organizedComfortable bedsThe AC worked wellNew linensNice views of the pondPeaceful neighborhood
The house is well appointed with comfy beds, beautiful views. We took long canoe rides, easy to go downtown for shopping, and great location for exploring the Cape Cod beaches. Super host came by to bring extra laundry detergent and left us a lovely gift basket, complete with a nice bottle of wine. Would definitely stay here again
This was our 2nd time staying here. We loved it! It’s a beautiful house, all of the amenities, and beautifully decorated! The host Adam is very responsive! thank you Adam!

Thank you so much for staying with us again! We're thrilled you loved the house and had a great experience. Hope to host you again soon! – Adam
My family and I had a great time at Adam’s house! We enjoyed paddle boarding out onto the pond, sitting by the campfire, and utilizing the grill to cook. The location was very convenient to pop into the center of Chatham or get to a nearby beach. We would certainly stay again!
We had a great time. The house was so nice and well equipped with all the things to make our vacation more relaxing. The view from the master bedroom was amazing! We grilled at home some nights and mornings with the incredible view of the pond, which was so beautiful. We also made smores around the fire pit. The home was also conveniently located, and easy drive to several beaches, the grocery store and to the town of Chatham, which was so cute! The view of the pond from the property is so beautifuThe kayak and the canoe were so fun too!! My family loved it!
Great house located in Chatham, Ma. Everything was perfect, from communicating with the owner till check out. The house is perfectly distributed and has great things Iike canoe, kayak and fire pit. Will 100% recommend this place and will plan to come back. Thanks!
Adam’s place was even better than the photos and was the perfect place to stay for our long weekend on Cape Cod! The house had everything we needed over the weekend and more. The view of the pond was beautiful and our group loved the option of taking out the paddle board or kayak for some time on the water. Adam was extremely accommodating and responded very quickly. I highly recommend that this place and hope to stay here again for my next trip to the Cape!
Our family had a wonderful stay in Adam’s home. The kitchen was one of the best stocked we’ve had in our many rentals. The home is centrally located and near several beaches. We loved the view of the pond and took advantage of the equipment offered. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor shower was enjoyable. Adam was exceptionally attentive to questions. We highly recommend this property:
This house was really wonderful. Clean, spacious, and well equipped with everything we needed. It is a great location with an incredible view. We had planned on exploring the pond with the kayak and canoe provided, but it was too rainy, and we were occupied with events for a family wedding. We would stay there again! thank you so much.
Very nice and quaint house with an awesome lake view. It has everything you need. Canoe and kayak for the lake, nice grill with all the grilling utensils. Kitchen has all pots, pans, plates, etc….
An ice chest is on hand for to take to the beach. Short easy drive to downtown Chatham and the beach. Highly recommend this house. It was perfect for our trip.
We visited shortly before July 4th as a family of five with high school and college aged kids. We are first timers on the Cape, visiting from California. We all loved the central location and the peaceful setting on the lake. Kayaks and canoes were a nice perk as was the private pond.Communication was great with host Adam from the time we booked, and we appreciated the food and activity recommendations. House was well stocked with everything we could have wanted for our vacation, including board games, beach chairs, and a good selection of spices for cooking. We all wished we could stay longer, but sadly, we could not. Would definitely stay here again if we return to New England.
Adam was the perfect host! After a very long drive from the airport we arrived and were so happy to see a bottle of wine and a bag of Cape Cod chips waiting for us. The home was just as promised in the pictures and descriptions and we truly enjoyed our time. My only caution is there isn’t a bedroom on the main floor so it will be a challenge if you have any mobility issues.
This house was perfect for our long getaway family weekend in Cape Cod. The house was clean, exactly as described in the listing, right on the lake with canoe, paddle board, kayak; Had a fire pit and other outside seating. Views from the house of the lake were breathtaking. Adam was the perfect host and communication response was timely. I already shared the listing with some of my other family if they plan to visit the Cape. My 19 year old daughter said it was her favorite vacation ever. We will be back. Thank you Adam!
Our family was here for a week and enjoyed every minute. The host was easy to contact and very helpful. Our kids are good swimmers and having the pond in the back yard with a kayak, paddle board, and canoe was the perfect touch. The hosts provided quite a bit ( cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent) which made our stay even better! There were a few beach chairs and a beach bag that came in handy. Not really any games or toys if you have little ones. Also, if you prefer firm beds this is your dream stay. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower, although the latch needs a little work. The showers indoors have very light water pressure and the outdoor shower has stronger pressure. The location is the perfect spot between Chatham and Harwich!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great time and made good use of the pond and water gear. We’re glad the extra supplies came in handy, and we appreciate your feedback about the outdoor shower latch and indoor water pressure — we’ll definitely take a closer look. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
