Idyllic Getaway for 2-Historic Rte.6A, Barnstable-4 minutes to beach

Charming cottage!

Oh my, I really don’t want to tell the truth in this review as we want this as our very own special spot in the Cape, and we don’t want to share! That said we must be fair to the wonderful couple who own this sweet little Cottage on the Cape, as they deserve nothing but the best. Simply stated you are unlikely to find something nicer on the Cape at this sensible price point that feels so authentically Cape Cod. Yes it is small, but it feels grand, with lots of room for a couple or a small family and every touch feels just right. So much wonderful stuffed into a small space with a private back patio overlooking the woodland to BBQ and relax on after a day at the beach. You will without a doubt love your stay, but please don’t book this property as we want it for ourselves… only kidding folks, don’t let this one get away, book today!! A very Special thanks to Susan & Ned for the special treats and the wonderful hospitality.

Apple Tree Cottage in West Barnstable is the ideal place for two adults to stay when you want to explore all of the amazing sites anywhere on TheCape. Susan is a delightful host and has everything prepared - plus treats - in true Cape Cod style for her guest. We are so happy we decided to stay at this amazing little cottage! It is perfectly situated in the mid-Cape area making it the ideal starting point to anywhere on the Cape and Historic Route 1a (which is a must travel route). The cottage is just perfect! No detail has been missed, and the owner, Susan has not missed any detail to make your stay enjoyable. It is peaceful and quiet, there is a wonderful back patio where you can sit and enjoy bird watching with your morning coffee. We will definitely save this VRBO listing for our future trips to The Cape! Thank you Susan for providing such a lovely cottage on The Cape to rest and relax.

This is our second time at this beautiful cottage. Again, not disappointed. The cottage is lovely, made for two with privacy and a charming interior (with surprises of snacks and information) and outdoor space, all done in total Cape style. Susan is a great host. The location is within minutes of beaches, bike trails, restaurants, attractions and shops. We love this place and recommend it highly to enjoy, explore the Cape. Thank you for such a perfect setting! See you again!

It is a very nice cottage that is exactly as described. Very quiet and private. The location is great for traveling around Cape Cod. Susan is a very welcoming hostess, who is happy to provide information for the area, such as where to dine, beaches, towns, etc.

Perfect for one or two people. Gracious hosts and peaceful site. Bedroom upstairs has steep steps up--fine for me but worth noting. Good restaurants nearby!

The cottage was clean, quiet, and comfortable my whole time there. Exactly what I was looking for. Host very generously leaves wine, coffee, and other beverages and snacks. Plenty of markets & restaurants near and far. Would go again.

This cottage is like something out of a story book abd Susan was such an amazing host! She thought of every little detail. My mom and I look back at our week long stay in Barnstable as one of the highlights of our year. Even though we had inclement weather, we still enjoyed thrift shopping, finding treasures at the flea market in Sandwich, walking through the charming towns all along the Cape, a history/ghost tour, great seafood and a fire on the beach. Thank you, Susan, for being part of our memories.

Really lovely, clean and comfortably furnished. The cottage is set against the back of the property amid trees. I loved the privacy, quiet and seclusion of Susan’s cottage. Gracious host. Great place to stay!

Everything about this cottage—including the owners—is completely charming. It is well equipped and packed with information about restaurants, ferries, buying fresh eggs—much too much to list. The icing on the cake was the hoot of the great horned owl at bedtime.
