About this property

A taste of classic fish camp living. These unique 1930's structure is part of a four-cabin cluster that is situated along the Long Pond shore front. If you are looking for a rustic, commune with nature, seek a simple respite from modern life or just want to enjoy Long Pond, this is for you.

This rental includes exclusive use of one of the cabins: Betty & Helen and shared use of the waterfront. There is a very short walk between each of these locations.

Betty & Helen is a bedroom-only cabin, there is no kitchen or food storage provided. The cabin has two bedrooms, one with king bed and one with two twins (or can be pushed together to make king). There is a screened porch that looks onto a small outdoor open area. Or, you can sit and read a book in the window seat nook. A toilet room is at the end of the porch. An elegant outdoor shower just next to the cabin has plenty of hot water.

The waterfront has a small dock and seating area. Sunny in the mornings and shady in the afternoons, the waterfront is a great vantage point for viewing the lake and the weekend sailboat races. Long Pond is clean and clear -- great for swimming. Shared use of a two-person canoe is included in the rental.

Our compound is at the end of a private, sandy road and located next to Pinewoods Camp. When the camp is in session from mid June through Labor Day, you can hear their music until 11:00 PM each night. In early June and September, the pond is wonderfully quiet. You can enjoy the area's wildlife, swim in the clear waters, hike or bike miles of nature trails or use this as a jump-off point to explore the Cape and Boston.

Our cabins have names because they were built for the use of our Dad's family when he was growing up. Our grandparents were English Country Dance enthusiasts and named the cabins after dances and family members. Each cabin is a stone's throw away from the others but they are arranged to give a sense of privacy.

Enchanting rustic retreat

This cottage rental more than lived up to its billing as a typical Massachusetts fish camp built in the 40s. The setting - at the end of a long drive - ensures tranquility. The many cottages in the camp offer simple but clean comfortable and functional lodgings. Each cottage has its unique flair. "Dick's Maggot" is a single bed cabin with minimal kitchen right on the water's edge. Very romantic. The cabin we rented, "Betty and Helen," is set back a bit from the pond. Its two bedrooms and tiny bathroom would suit a small family quite well. Since this cabin has no kitchen, it was rented to us along with another cabin, "Liliburo," that had a nice dining area, porch overlooking the pond, and full kitchen. No bathroom in "Liliburo." We lit fires two of three nights thanks to that quirky late august Massachusetts weather. Wood was provided -Thanks! As of this visit, "Betty and Helen" did not have a working fireplace but this was not an issue given the inclusion of "Liliburo"in our rental fee. I recommend arriving before dark as the cabin nameplates are hard to read in the dark. Also, be aware: the adjacent camp "Pinewoods" offers nightly traditional dancing and singing programs which some might consider disruptive. The programs are fairly lively with stamping, fiddling, yip-ping and some limited yee-hawing. While we were there, these went on from around nine to around eleven at night. We loved it. From our vantage point ("Betty and Helen" is the closest cabin to the festivities), the off-beat (think "square dancing") accompaniment to our rural retreat was just a wonderful funky addition. The camp is fairly close to Boston (about an hour's drive), and about an hour's drive to the middle of Cape Cod. You can tour the area from here and there is much to see. But you can also rusticate in style and comfort on the banks of long pond.

Loved it!

We had a great experience, staying at "Classic Fish Camp". It was so peaceful and really gave us a feeling of staying in the great outdoors. Our children loved it too-- the dock, forest, and canoe trips made such a positive impression on them (they are still asking to go back to the cabin). We were sad to leave. What a gem of a place. It was very clean and close to so much, for day trips and activities for all age groups. We brought bikes for the Myles Standish state park bike trails, which is really close by. One day we drove about 20 mins to "Thomas Land" (we have an obsessed three year old son) and of course spent time in Plymouth doing a little bit of history tourism. Again, Plymouth Rock was about a 20 min drive. Just enjoying the tranquility of the Classic Fish Camp would make for a great vacation as well. Oh, and we were really surprised to find that by the end of the trip, not one of us got a single mosquito bite! We would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives, and would love to return for another getaway.

Nice relaxing weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at these quaint cabins. this spot was perfect for kayaking and my boys loved jumping off of the docs! The owners were friendly but not overbearing and responded promptly when it was noted that a board on the doc had rotted (it was fixed immediately). The porch in Lilli cabin was awesome for hanging out and playing cards

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2016

Classic Fish Camp review

The Fish Camp was spectacular. No TV and no Continental Breakfast. You can get that anywhere. But if you're looking for a place that is extraordinarily "off the beaten path" and not "run of the mill", this is your place. For a cabin-like stay, the sleeping accommodations were perfectly adequate. For a cabin-like stay, the kitchen accommodations were perfectly adequate. Don't be afraid of the outdoor shower as it truly has plenty of hot water and plenty of privacy. The property has access to a water front. Great place to swim and the dock is a great place to pull up your lawn chair with your favorite adult beverage to simply watch the sun go down. This dock is a wonderful place to meet up with your neighbors and visit and just enjoy the passing of the time. At night I was serenaded to sleep by crickets and the usual sounds of the outside forest, but also by the Pinewoods Camp Orchestra and Dancers. It was great to listen to a whole bunch of people having a whole lot of fun. I will highly recommend this property to my friends and family and anybody who cares to ask me about my trip to the area. The owners provided great customer care and were very accommodating. I cannot say enough positive about this property. What a gem.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Conant

We are a family of five siblings and six grandchildren. Many of us live in the Boston area and spend our summer weekends on the property.

Why they chose this property

The property was given to our grandparents in the 1940's and has been passed through two generations. This property is a part of our bones. It is both a struggle and a labor of love to maintain the historic, rustic character of our structures. We all grew up here and know every root, tree, bug and plant. There are home movies of three generations of babies playing on our beach. and we all know the stories -- like how our dad knocked a pillar down while learning to drive.

What makes this property unique

There are rare places in our modern world where time stands still. This is one. We have let a few tinges of modernity filter through -- we do provide basic internet, electricity and hot water -- but not TV. It is a place to turn off the digital world and experience the simple life -- nature, swimming in a clean natural lake, hiking beautiful trails, sitting on the porch, taking in the view, quiet nights, stars, rain pattering on the roof .......
