Terrific home in the heart of the Cape. Surrounded by trees, a nice walk to (and around) Baker’s pond, easy access to Orleans and everything up and down the coast. Great ice cream shop close by (with vegan soft serve!) and the quaintness one looks for on such a trip. Hosts are connected enough to get you the information needed, but stay out of the way and let you enjoy the stay alone. Highly recommended.

Orleans stay
House was in a perfect location and was very comfortable and had the charm of New England what I had imagined . Cathy was quick to respond to any questions we had . Nice place to stay while we attended a wedding not far from this location .
The house was a perfect Cape Cod getaway!
Quaint neighbor with walking distance to a pond. Beautifully decorated with all amenities!
Comfortable beds and very clean

Our home for a whole month!
Miss it already. Excellent location. Great communication with the owner. We had some bug issues at the beginning due to the humidity and hot weather. Cathy immediately took care of it. Always responsive. Place was mint clean too. Comfortable beds. Looks small from the outside but it is quite comfortable inside. Close to ponds and walk/hiking/run in trails. Very quiet. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay. :-)

Fantastic Stay in Orleans!
Our stay in Orleans was everything my family had planned for and staying at Cathy's made it such a wonderful trip. The home is was perfect for our family of 5 and our dog with room to spare! My children loved the outdoor shower and how close we were to local Skaket beach. The home was well stocked with everything someone may need on a trip to Cape Cod and after a few hours of unpacking it felt like home. Communication with Cathy over our 2 week stay was amazing and she took care of any of our concerns right away. I would absolutely recommended staying here and look forward to future bookings!

Beautiful house perfect location
We loved our vacation in Orleans. The house is absolutely beautiful inside and outside with proximity to all of the great beaches. We especially loved our walks to Bakers Pond as well! Very close to lots of shops and restaurants. The kids loved the games in the garage and all of the toys. We hope to be back!

Fun Family Getaway
I highly recommend this property. We needed a pet friendly home but cleanliness is super important to us, this home was not only clean but comfortable as well. The only thing that needs attention is the outside shower, we couldn’t use it. The host was also extremely flexible and responsive. Also good location 👍🏻

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It was very clean and comfortable and close to all of our favorite beaches, restaurants, and trails. The neighborhood is not ideal for walking/biking based on proximity to major roads, but it was quiet and only a 5-10 minute drive to some beautiful spots. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

Early Summer Stay
We stayed at this property in early June, which was a lovely time to visit the Cape. Access to the home was very easy via the keypad on the front door. The layout of the home was somewhat unusual with the master bedroom on the ground floor and the only full bathroom on the second floor. In addition, access to the basement was not available from inside the house. The loveseats in the living area were comfortable and the kitchen table was very spacious. The electric fireplace in the living area made the home feel cozy.
We enjoyed spending time on the deck. As another reviewer mentioned, the house is in a wooded area but the neighbors’ homes, one of which appears to be brand new, are fully visible. Location relative to the beaches was great, with Skaket 5 minutes away and Nauset 10 minutes.

Perfect Location and Comfortable Accommodations
Spent a long weekend in this home in Orleans. Location was perfect. Plenty of privacy, yet close enough to shopping, surrounding towns and beaches. Access to Cape Cod Rail Trail is close to house. Home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was very responsive to all inquiries.

We had such an amazing time in Orleans, my kids first Cape trip. It was so special and this house had exactly what we needed and additional amenities (my son now loves ping pong). It's a great location to both Skaket and Nauset beaches and to lots of great food spots and shopping. Thank you for making the stay extremely easy!
