The cottage is just across the street from Bass River - about a mile from the mouth of the River and Nantucket Sound. Several types of beaches, i.e., river beaches, Nantucket Sound beaches, are walkable from cottage. Private garden.

This adorable, central air-conditioned, authentic Cape Cod cottage is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood that is listed on the National Registry of Historic Districts. An 1820 Cape cottage with wide planked pine flooring and hand-hewn timbers, but with modern conveniences.

Perfectly placed for exploring Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Boston and Southeast New England -- all in easy reach.

The luxury of central air conditioning has recently been installed together with central heating. It has also been recently re-decorated.

Bass River is the largest, all salt tidal river on the East Coast. There are several free public River beaches along Bass River a short stroll from the cottage or approx. 1 mile (1.6 km) to Nantucket Sound's ocean beaches.

The lovely views along the river are perfect for a leisurely daily walk. There is a small neighborhood bakery (less than a mile) nestled nearby for fresh breakfast yummies, coffee, the paper and other bakery items.

The river is wonderful for kayaking and kayak rentals are very close by. There are several places to put in should you have your own.

The cottage features three bedrooms with closets and bureaus. Upper floor: one double bedroom and one single bedroom plus half-bath. Lower floor: one double bedroom; full bath with bathtub/shower; comfortable living room with digital cable color TV; DVD player w/ DVD library; WiFi; assorted books/jigsaw puzzles/games; large eat-in kitchen with refrigerator, electric cooktop; convection/microwave oven, toaster, kettle, all kitchen china/utensils, etc.

Bed linens (all 100% cotton) provided. Please bring your own bath/beach towels. For guests traveling by air, towels, both bath and beach, available for modest fee.

This is a self-catering cottage meaning you must supply your own paper products. Should you require towels, you will be given: wash cloth, hand towel, bath towel and beach towels. There is no housekeeping service during a guest's stay and linens/towels are not laundered during a guest's stay. There is laundromat close by.

    Barb’s guest house is over 200 years old and reminded me of my grandparents cottage in Maine. The steep stairs to the two upstairs bedrooms and the old fashioned kitchen all brought back fond memories from my childhood. We enjoyed breakfast every day in the private outdoor patio and daily walks around her lovely neighborhood. Barb’s street parallels the Bass River. The are many roads off of Barb’s street that lead to public areas to get a peek of the Bass River.

    We were a party of 3 adults (mom and college age kids) and we had a wonderful time. We had one extra person for 3 nights. The cottage was just as described, with nooks and crannies and lots of personality. Very comfortable. Kitchen big enough for 4 to cook and eat, and living room accommodated our game night perfectly. There was a lovely patio area to eat outside. Barbara was a gracious host and provided local information and beach chairs (so we didn't have to pack our own). Lovely walk near the river with a cute windmill beach nearby. Easy drive to mini-golf, go-carts, bounce park, and within driving distance to the drive-in movies at Wellfleet. We also toured Chatham, and got some thrifting in too. Would definitely stay again.

    Bed was very uncomfortable. Sagging. Sofa was probably 40 years old. Could not get around the bed unless you slid sideways. It was almost touching both walls. Kitchen floor was linoleum and very stained and dirty. It was unsafe to go up to the second level. Stairs were steep and narrow and no handrails. We had to bring our own towels. Sheets were provided but we had to make the bed. The neighborhood was beautiful. A shame this house had not been updated. A very old house sadly in need of many updates.

    We couldn't have asked for more. Incredibly helpful host, can walk to restaurants, beaches, coffee, boat rentals, kayak/paddleboard rentals and short car rides to Dennis, Yarmouth, downtown Hyannis. We walked, biked or ran around the neighborhood every single morning as the area had minimal traffic which was great. House had everything we needed. Loved the patio off the kitchen and the large full bathroom was in a good location for everyone to shower as needed. House decorated beautifully for it's age and location. Steep stairs to 2 beds and half bath upstairs but our teenage boys loved hanging out up there...A/C was a huge plus. We can't wait to stay with Barbara again!

    Barbara was lovely and very considerate .The house was very cute and tidy, photos of the bedroom downstairs were a bit exaggerated, it was much smaller. My mom and I enjoyed staying there very much! Thank you Barbara!

    My husband and I were incredibly pleased with our little cottage. It was so comfortable and charming without being fussy. It was like visiting my favorite aunt’s house. The cottage had everything we needed. The location is great! The street and the other houses on it are so lovely. We were a short drive to so many beaches and many other points of interest. Barbara, the owner, was gracious and immensely helpful.
