About this property
Cape Cod Cottage, Short Walk to Wequaquet Lake Private Beach and Cranberry Bogs
Welcome to Cranberry Hollow Cottage, A three bedroom, two bath cottage on an acre of land just steps from our private neighborhood beach on the east-side of Wequaquet Lake cove that gives you sun all day and photo-worthy, spectacular sunsets.
This recently updated 1100 sq ft family cottage in Centerville, MA gives you a taste of everything that we love about Cape Cod. It was originally built in the 1940s and has a newly renovated kitchen, bathrooms, mudroom, updated bedrooms and living areas and a large Weber gas grill and dining area outside the back door. We recently fenced in the back yard with wire fencing and two cedar wood two-door swinging gates.
The house is in a neighborhood known for walkers, friendly faces walking dogs, pushing baby carriages or simply exercising in the fresh air.
In addition to a deeded rights to a neighborhood private beach, a unique feature we offer with this house is access to a walking trail around cranberry bogs. Follow the short woodland trail out the back of the property to a cranberry bog with a dirt road that takes you around two functional bogs full of growing cranberries.
Then grab your beach towels and walk down the street for a quick dip in a lake or spend the day on the beaches along a pretty little cove via our deeded beach rights. No need to pack a car, just a short walk from the front door. (We love to spend mornings at the ocean and finish the day on the lake, the best of both worlds are nearby!)
Have a boat on a trailer? Cranberry Hollow is less than a mile from the public boat landing on Wequaquet Lake. Wequaquet is known for almost year-round bass fishing, and in the warm weather, sailboats and power boats share the lake. Jet skis are not permitted to be launched from the public landing unless they are kept by lakefront owners.
This property is located halfway between North Side and South Side Cape Cod public ocean beaches. The famous "Southside" beach on Nantucket Sound, Craigville Beach, is less than 15 minutes away and the beautiful "Northside" Sandy Neck beach on Sandy Neck Conservation area is 20 minutes away. Hop on the MidCape Highway and you are one hour from the stunning beaches at the Cape Cod National Seashore.
There are movie theaters and mini-golf and ice creams shops and harbor tours and whale watches all within driving distance. We are right in the MIDDLE of Cape Cod and ready to host your best vacation, ever!
Its just two miles to major grocery stores, and another mile to the Cape Cod Mall, Target etc. We are 10 minutes from bars and restaurants of Main Street, Hyannis and the commercial fishing and ferry docks in Hyannis.
We will take bookings year-round our first year. Consider the fall when our whole area fills with colors, cranberries are harvested in mid to late October and as we approach fall the bog begins to display the colors of the red berries.
Amenities:
In addition to our two bathrooms with showers, we have an outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
We have one bedroom with a king size bed, one with a queen size bed, and one with two twins, one twin is XL.
We believe in extra pillows! Each room has plenty of extra pillows.
Each bedroom has an extra set of sheets.
We provide a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, brand new stove with oven that has convection and air fryer options. We provide paper, plastic and Fiestaware dinnerware.
We provide pots and pans and baking pans and sheets.
There is a full washer and dryer with a folding station and laundry baskets for each room.
We have air conditioners in each bedroom and larger capacity in the kitchen dining area, and the living room for warm weather, or simply open the windows and let the breezes in.
We have a powerful wi-fi modem -up to1000 Mbps to stream whatever devices you bring.
The living room includes a 60 inch TV with Xumo Xfinity streaming box to stream via your favorite apps. We do not use cable as cable services here have been problematic, but you can use your own cable streaming app via the Xumo box. You can even use your own Roku stick.
For excellent outdoor cooking and dining, we provide a provide a grill and outdoor table and chairs.
And we will also provide beach towels and 4 beach chairs to use at the beaches.
Be sure to have your Merlin app ready to identify the many varieties of birds that come to the feeder, and live in the woods and swamp. Listen in the evening and into the night to the low baritone of the bullfrogs in the marsh across the street and the occasional hoot of an owl in the trees.
We love it here and live about 5 miles away, so if there are any issues we can help at any time.

About the host
Hosted by Janet and JP

JP is a life-long Cape Codder who grew up in this cottage. Janet is a native MA resident who spent time between a lake on the Cape and a Beach on the South Shore. We love Cape Cod life. We treasure the wildlife that surrounds us, identifying birds by sight and sound, getting excited about spotting a deer or raccoon on the cranberry bog, curiously studying marine life and insects with apps and books. We raised our children here with that curiosity.
We have boats on the lake, and spend time on the ocean beaches and hiking trails. We love dogs, have three rescued border collies now and have loved a many dogs through the years.
Janet was a travel agent early on and JP was a Boston construction tradesman for 30 yrs traveling between Cape Cod and the city. We have renovated our own house and now this family cottage.
We raised our two daughters here in the town of Barnstable, both are now grown and living in exotic places, one is a natural scientist, PhD who was nurtured on the nature of the Cape, and the other is a translator who learned to appreciate the multicultural population here.
We are excited about sharing this cottage with you.

Why they chose this property
This was a family home. JP grew up here. His father bought this place in the 50s and it was added on to as his family grew. His father died in 2019, and five years later we purchased it from his three siblings. We will eventually retire to this property, but for now we will stay in our home in another part of Centerville and share this cottage with visitors.
What makes this property unique
We have almost an acre of land, and most of it is not landscaped, it is left natural and full of wildlife and naturally grown grapes and red raspberries. We have a great relationship with the owner of the cranberry bogs that surround our property and have created a trail out the back of the property to the bogs. We have deeded beach rights to the beaches on the cove a short walk from the cottage. Sit outside in the evening in front of the house and hear the bullfrogs and sit in the backyard in the morning and hear the symphony of birds songs. The property sits in the center of the Miid-Cape making all of Cape Cod accessible.
