First, I'll address some things that might not be obvious from the description. Yes, the property is down a long, bumpy road that you will do better on with an SUV or other high clearance vehicle. We did it with a conventional minivan and VW Golf and did fine but if you're anxious about getting stuck you should be aware of that. Also, there is no WiFi and really no cell coverage. (Every once in a while a random text would come through.) So unless you have a sat phone you will be disconnected from digital devices when you are at the cottage. All that being said, we absolutely loved this place and had a fantastic vacation there. We had two kayaks (which are at the property), three paddleboards, and various inflatables all over the pond. Our kids had friends come and go and everyone loved being able to unplug and just enjoy each other's company and the beautiful setting. At one point three people were floating on the pond reading books. At night and frequently in the morning around breakfast time people just sat around and talked, in a way that you just can't do if everyone has a phone or computer nearby. You can walk from the house to a couple of other ponds (Spectacle, Long and Gull) and to the oceanside beaches, either on the road or on various paths through the woods. (Do a thorough tick check afterward.) And everything Wellfleet Village has to offer is only ten minutes away by car or 15 by bike. The house has plenty of room and is very cozy. It's not for everyone but if you really want to get away for some deep relaxation this place is hard to beat.
